LadySkinsFan Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I've been exploring Portuguese cuisine the last couple of days and find it interesting. I haven't cooked anything yet, have to wait until my next check hits to go to the grocery store. Will let you know the results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A much easier and cheaper bouillabaisse. Good stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 This is the first recipe I am trying. The pork has to marinate for three days, so it will be a few days until I cook it.

Skinsfan1311 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Bark, anyone? Put this on at 7:20 am. Smoked at ~240° and pulled it off the kettle when the internal temp hit 195° and the probe went in like buttah. She's wrapped in foil and resting in a cooler for an hour, or so. @AsburySkinsFan. I did this on the Weber kettle, with the SnS. The last pic is the SnS. Look how much charcoal is left, after a 9 hour cook. Temp fluctuated between 239° and 249° during the cook. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love my SNS it drastically improves the kettle's performance. My biggest problem is keeping the temp down. Mine seems to get too much air so I have to nearly close everything even while using binder clips around it to keep a seal with the lid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest problem is keeping the temp down. Mine seems to get too much air so I have to nearly close everything even while using binder clips around it to keep a seal with the lid. I own a bunch of kettles and, based on my experience, there are many factors that cause the air flow issue. First, and foremost, (if it's a newer kettle), they'll leak until you have a bunch of cooks. Over time, carbon and grease builds up and helps the seal. Check to see if the vanes in the ash-sweep are flush to the bottom of the bowl. Over time, carbon, grease, whatever can build up and cause tiny gaps. Those types of gaps cause leaks. Another issue could be that the lid is warped. I found this solution, below, from the BBQ Bretheren website. The poster fixed quite a few lids, using the method, below. "Measure the length at a few different points. When you determine a "long" side, place the lid on a piece of wood on the ground and apply pressure to the "long" side. Continue to do this a little at a time until the lid fits" Another potential issue, is that they can leak air at the thermometer. Not much you can do there, except wait for that carbon and grease build-up. If worse comes to worse, you can always buy one of those aftermarket gasket kits. I've never done that, but a bunch of members on the Weber Kettle Club web-site have done so and swear by them. I guarantee that if you look into it, it's one of, (or a combination of), those issues. As you know, the vent settings on the SnS web-site are just guidelines and each kettle is different. You may have to adjust yours so that they're pretty much closed, and that's okay. After the initial coals are lit, and the unlit charcoal is added, maybe consider adjusting the vents to slow the air-flow at a lower temp than the 175deg that their site suggests. I also learned that patience is key, and only make tiny adjustments then wait, because it can take a while for the temps to move. As you're painfully aware of by now, it's much easier to bring temps up, than to bring them down. It took me a while to figure it out but, once got them dialed in, (I use the SnS on a couple of grills), it's worth it. Hope this helps! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the thermometer built in so that's not an issue. My top vent and bottom are almost completely closed, but I get a lot of smoke from around the lid seal. On the top vent I actually use one hole to place the ambient temp probe with a wad of tin foil around it to reduce the opening. It's pretty incredible how just a little air will push temps up though, it feels like walking a tightrope with it until I get it dialed which can take over an hour at times. I've also considered Weber's fan based temp regulator, but at $139 that now makes my $99 kettle a $350 smoker. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A7F1B60/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_9ahnDbT575298 Edited July 21, 2019 by AsburySkinsFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadySkinsFan Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Started my pork marinade marathon this morning. In rereading the recipe, I first had to salt the pork and let it sit for twelve hours. Did that overnight. And I modified the recipe with ingredients that I had, cider vinegar instead of red wine vinegar and red wine for the white wine. No red pepper flakes either. I seldom add this when a recipe calls for it because I hate hot spices. I added everything else. So tomorrow morning I will stir it and let it sit for the second day. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 When I was in between jobs, I would spend about $25 dollars on a 10lb bag of chicken breast and just cook the ever loving hell out of it. I would grill it, fry it, bake plain with garlic salt and Italian season or use one of the many marinades that I had. If you're ever short on money, buy some chicken and marinades. You're still poor, but you don't have to eat like it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Learn to break it down on your own and the possibilities are wide open. Right now poultry producers are making a killing off pre-cut packaged individual chicken parts. It's easy to break them down and a youtube vid will teach you how. Try buying ANY other protein as cheap and versatile. 18 hours ago, Skinsfan1311 said: Jerk chicken and grilled eggplant.

I've heard that if you salt them and let them rest then they will shed a lot of their water. Word is gospel, brother! If you're willing to spend about $9 on a family sized roasted chicken at Walmart, you're good to go for at least a day...thats no sides. Also, Safeway has the best deal on chicken, 16 piece (fried or roasted) for about $15, its even cheaper on Mondays. I cook during the week, but when the weekend comes around, I want none of that. I need bulk food, ready to eat when I come out of my rum coma. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just be sure to pat 'em dry afterwards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 No pics, but there is just something about grilling at the beach. Made some BBQ chicken breasts today, will be grilling a tritip on Wednesday, probably doing some seafood tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
