Title: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp
Post by: classicrockgriller on November 12, 2009, 09:55:49 PM
That's right, Ms Gabi (my Bradley) is heading to my Deer Camp along with my two Butts.

I love different things. My son ask me the other day what was my favorite thing I smoked.
My answer was what was the last thing I smoked. So my Butts of choice for my friends at
the deer camp is something old....something new.

Butt #1: What a beauty. Got rubbed with Carribean Jerk seasoning with a fine dose and rubbed
hard, Cardamon.

My marinade

Butt #2 Beauty, also. Got rubbed with Pitts&Spitts Sweet and Spicy and Marinaded with Carolina style sauce

My Butts are happy and going for a ride

One thing in life is you have to take the good with the bad.

The Bad: Son stayed at G/F house last nite and overslept. I had to take my truck to guys leaving for work
(they drive to Houston everyday and I furnish them transportation), so now I have to wait till tomorrow to
go to deer camp.

The Good: Wifie has somebody new to be mad at. Life is good again.

While I am waiting and since I will have no time to smoke butts when I get there, they are being smoke at
home. Bradley was warming up and Butts came out of their marinade bath and allowed to drain alittle. I sprinkle
more seasoning on them until I almost dried up the marinade.

Island Habanero w/ Caribean jerk and small amout of Cardamon

Smoke started rolling about 10:30 so that kinda sucks, will be another late nite with Gabi and the Hunter.

My wood choice is 2 oak to 1 mesquite. That should bring some life to the party. I plan on smoking them for
8 hrs and then ala Pachanga add another 3 hours of special blend smoke on the end. Gonna love the bark.
After 4 hours of smoke I will flip and flop and put the fat cap up.

Two hours of smoke.

Title: Re: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp
Post by: ronbeaux on November 13, 2009, 04:42:11 PM
Looking good!
I didn't flip mine for two reasons. 1. I never did in my other pits, 2. I forgot. That is usually what happens when I cook a butt or brisket. I forget they are even on until the next time I pass by there and smell them cooking......... ::)
Title: Re: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp

I'm the same way Ron I never flip my butts I just leave them fat cap up the whole time.

Post by: classicrockgriller on November 13, 2009, 05:54:18 PM
Arnie, 11 hrs ....the last 3 are for the bark.

I like to flip especially when I "slather" as it helps keep the meat from
welding to the rack like it did to squirt.

Hell, I'd stand it on it's side if I thought it would taste better.

They are looking and smelling awesome.

Did you notice the "spider string" hanging down from the top butt to the bottom butt.

The marinade and rub are getting pretty sticky. I am gonna start more smoke when I hit IT
of 170. Am at 168 right now.

The reason my probe is in the top butt, for some reason it is running cpl degrees hotter than bottom one.

Well the butts were a big hit at camp. I just wish they could have meet Gabi, but the season is long
and has just started.

I pulled each one when I got there and put into roasting pans and in the fridge.

We had them for supper. I am sorry but only took one pic.

NICE CRUST
(http://i1004.photobucket.com/albums/af165/classicrockgriller/Deer%20Camp%20Butts/100_2046.jpg)

For supper we had beer batter deep fryed spare ribs, pulled pork on toasted buns, 2 kinds of coleslaw,
home made: fries, onion rings, sweet potatoe frys.

Had about 3 lbs of pulled pork left that we ate for lunch the next day.

They were just cut into individual rib sections, battered and deep fryed.

These were spare ribs.

Were they chewable?  I'd imagine the cooking time was pretty short.
Title: Re: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp
Post by: classicrockgriller on November 19, 2009, 11:38:51 AM
They were fryed to a golden brown and were very chewable.

They are not fall off the bone tender but very good.

I wish the flower would have had some seasoning or the ribs before flowering would have been dusted.

Batter one and deep fry and then adjust it.
Title: Re: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp
Post by: classicrockgriller on November 19, 2009, 11:41:38 AM
Arnie, we have a dbl basket deep fryer and there were probably 6 in each basket or 12 in the fryer at one time.

The temp was set at 350 or 375, so with that many ribs it was longer than you think.
Title: Re: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp
Post by: ArnieM on November 19, 2009, 12:09:51 PM
Sounds interesting CRG.  I have a one gallon deep fryer so I'd figure on six at a time at the most.  What was in the batter other than beer and flour?
Title: Re: I'm taking my Butts to the Deer Camp
Post by: classicrockgriller on November 19, 2009, 12:14:37 PM
That was it, the batter is lite. If you have rice flour you mix that 1/2 and 1/2 with reg flour and that is a nice batter.

Like I said the flour can and IMO should be seasoned with something. Or the ribs should be seasoned.

CRG, we're going to take your "deep fried spareribs", and go scientific on them.
Experimental times/temps/seasonings...   Document, discard, vote.

Details early next year. (in a new thread, of course ;))

Thanks for that bit of inspiration!

Well, KyNola... I plead guilty to that...

(Hey, Arnie?  You out there?)
One night after just a few Maker's Mark sips...
I picked up the old guitar, and started strumming some blues chords...

Seemed like everything I started to dream up had already been done.
"Can't pay the bills".  "Momma needs shoes".  Blah blah blah...
Nothing seemed "Blue and original"...

Then it occurred it me...
What if...  I was DEAD?  And maybe FLOATING IN A SWAMP?
Now... hey...  That's really a reason to be blue...  And, it ain't been done before...

Well... it has now.

It's only made with Jasmine Rice and fries up lighter than flour.
I would mix it 1/2 and 1/2. I have mixed it with cornmeal.
