Memorial Day Weekend, What you got cooking?

[ArrowheadHawk]

I'm not going to let the rain ruin my weekend. Smoking a beautiful brisket.

I put a mix of chicken, salmon, asparagus and hot dogs on the green egg. Have enough food for a few days.

my pork shoulder has been in the brine for 24 hours. Now she's rubbed down and ready for the smoker

Yeah, I stole the concept from my meatloaf recipe, but left a few things out. Honestly it didn't have that meatloaf flavor, it tasted like a damn good burger, which is what I was going for.

Was seriously awesome.

Hoover, did you pre cook the bacon and add it to the mix? Or cook it as part of the burger?

Had some chorizo brats from Hy Vee.

Gonna have some quality can time at work tomorrow.

I really wanted to smoke something today, and specifically was going to bite the bullet and pay $7/pound for brisket. Everything in my town and the next town over was trimmed flats only, and I didn't want to go all the way in to Costco to get a full brisket.

So maybe next weekend. Today I'm just grilling some nice ribeyes with some hobo pouches with yukon gold potatoes, carrots, and onion.

Just loaded the can cooker with corn on the cob, potatoes, vedallia onions, German sausage, and chicken thighs.

I had grilled lime-chicken tacos, Mexican street corn, and Coronas while watching baseball. No better way to bring in the summer.

Ok, I went all in this weekend. I've always wanted to make Pastrami at home. I followed these guys recipe, which is a pretty damn close approximation of Katz deli Pastrami, often considered the best there is. Here's the link: http://amazingribs.com/recipes/beef/..._pastrami.html

Now, it is very time consuming, but much of the time is in the smoker, or in the refrigerator, so it's not as bad as it sounds. Just in case it didn't turn out, and since I'd have the smoker rolling, I thought I'd do a full packer cut of brisket also. I've gotta say, the pastrami might be the best thing I've ever made. It melts in your mouth, has amazing flavor, and is, well....perfect. The brisket turned out great as well, and as you can see from the pics below, the point was sick juicy, and I chopped it into burnt ends. It's the second and third pic. Pastrami is the last two. Y'all gotta try this.
