Whatcha got cookin' this weekend?

It's that day again...Friday!! So I'll start it off....whathca go cookin'?

I'm doing some burgers tonight. I ground up some chuck last night along with some bacon (I didn't like how lean the chuck looked and thought it needed some more fat, plus I just wanted to play around). I think mine is going to be a patty melt like Dyal's the other night.

Saturday, Mrs. G leaves for a week so I really haven't planned anything else out. Maybe Raichlen's Australian wings from the Bible. Not sure yet.

So what you got cookin?

I am hoping Sunday to be mashing 11# of grains for an Oktoberfest in my Turkey fryer.

My older son arrived last night and plans on having some bbq while he is home......I'm thinking maybe some blue cheese stuffed burgers and we'll be going by the meat market today to decide on what else!

Just picked up some baby backs and some country style ribs.....mmmmmmm

A couple of big butts for my wife's birthday party next weekend. She requested ribs and pulled pork (that's my girl... ). So I'll be smoking the butts up either tonight or tomorrow, pulling and freezing it, then smoking the ribs the day of the party.

A Boston Butt and 2 big Chuckies.

Friday, Did the shrimp scampi that was inspired by your log post followed by Ribeyes and Fillets with mushrooms, all on the egg. Nothing really tonight but tomorrow hopefully some grilled chicken made into BGE enchiladas again inspired by blog postings.

Here is the tri-tip while it is marinating. I use McCormick's Meat Marinade and generally double it. The packet says it is good for 3 lbs of meat, but I always use 2 of them in a 1 gallon bag. This piece of meat was about 2.6 lbs.



Here is the meat on for a quick sear. I usually put it for about a minute or so per side right above the coals. You can also see the bricks that I put in the middle for the indirect cook.



Now the tri-tip is on the other side after searing. This is where I'll cook it indirect for about 45 minutes to an hour. I cook to 132 internal temp.



Here is the starting temp..,...



Here are the leftovers....sorry about not having pics after the cook, we were hungry!!!!
