Absolutely crushed a go at jerk chicken this weekend.

Brine:
Brown Sugar
Garlic (minced)
Salt
Jerk Seasoning
Oil
Water

after brine, give a quick rub of the jerk seasoning. Used some mesquite for smoke (not my first choice, but its what happens when the wife is told to get some wood chips for smoking). Either way the result was a slightly sweet starting point that fluidly moved into a smokey spice that was awesome.

I Made this tonight and it was bar none the best chicken that I've ever had.  I subbed the habenero for two fresh jalepenos.  Super easy cheap and unreal tasting.   I'm going to do it again on the smoker. And also on the grill.   I oven roasted this one.   I also spatchcocked it rather than vertical roasting.  It is worth a try bros.

I grilled some legs last night using this marinade and it was fantastic.  Thanks for posting the link.  I was a little worried that habanero would be too spicy for Mrs tdaver and mini-tdavers (skin and excess rub removed for minis), but they loved it as well.

That does look really good. I love BC but not a fan of stuff like that on my steak, I feel like it overpowers the steak taste but now I'm gonna have to try it.

Smoked my first brisket yesterday. Turned out pretty well all things considered. I didn't put enough charcoal in and lost all my heat about halfway through my smoke.  So, lesson learned and next time should be fantastic.

Yeah, you're gonna need to periodically add fuel. No big deal.

i was skeptical as well until i tried it, it is delish

i don't do it every time but when i do, yum yum

went to Woodshed Smokehouse in Ft Worth for lunch with my buddy and our wives and upon arrival was told it would be a 1.5-2 hr wait

over a couple of beers, convinced the group we needed to get the beef shin and some apps when we got a table

so we got grilled quail with wood-braised spelt and smoked artichikes (is actually an entree but we wanted quail damnit), camp bread & crispy potatoes with a smoked garlic aioli as apps



we went ahead and got texas punch (port wine, sprite and fruit) and enjoyed our patio seats and the sun and waited for our beef shin

they smoke this thing for 16 hrs and serve it with fresh ricotta, chile, smoked oil borracho beans, tortillas and a 3 kale salad

i proceeded to get drunk by the time the food arrived and took a crappy pic that did not capture the full greatness of the beef shin so I'll give you my pic and a pic from dallasnews.com





couple of things, yes that is a dog in the pic as they allow pets in the outdoor dining and the staff even bring out water bowls

also, we finished eating at 3:30 and the thought of more food hasn't even crossed my mind yet

next if you go there to try it, take some friends and get one of the 4 feasts such as this

lastly, my only regret is not going ahead and getting the sausage special of the day which was a rabbit & rattlesnake blend

[pissclams]

damn that's awesome

just woke up from a well deserved nap

mesquite grilled 20 lbs chicken boobs and 20 lbs beef skirt for a cinco de mayo thingy today

was for 120 peeps and was told as I put the 1st run of meat on that lunch needed to be moved ahead 30 mins if I could make it happen so i snapped 1 pic and that is all i had time for



went pretty well as I had a dude tell me my beef fajita meat was better than any strip steak he had eaten so either he is poor or i am da bomb

my vote is for the latter because i am rarely seen around poors

How did you serve the meat?  Did you dice it up

[AST]

for fajitas, sliced 1/4" cross grain for better tenderness

Mr. Supertramp...

I have 2, 2.5lb homegrown briskets in my freezer that need smoking.  We need to make arrangements.

Please suggest appropriate weekends for a DFWsmokerPAK complete with beer drinking.

Beverage of choice is negotiable... Often times I'll stick to beer if there is an extended period of drinking time so as not to black out and risk arrest.

It kills me when people feel the need to use more expensive cuts for fajitas. The dish is basically designed around skirt steak. Marinade it a bit and cut it correctly and you can't make better fajitas.

[AST]

I know right, it's like get a clue dumb people

[pissclams]

skirt steak is $7 - $8 a pound in kc
