Title: Pictures from MidWest Smoke Out III
Post by: Tenpoint5 on July 25, 2012, 02:52:52 PM
Might as well get the Photographic Memory Album up and running for this years Smoke Out


Started cooking for the Smoke Out. Never mind the fact that it is 103º outside. It will just help keep the temps up. (Not that the Dragon Lady needs any help.)

Up first in the line up is Sliced Turkey Breast meat.

Relatively easy first you drive 2 hours one way to pick up a Turkey Boulder from a friend. (Thanks Squirt)

Thaw for an hour in cold water to remove the foil wrapper that was on the boulder. Place in a foil tray for transport

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072512144031.jpg)

Peel off the skin from the front of the breast and lay out flat in the Dragon Lady. (Traeger) Season with Zach's Hickory Rub.

Place still basically frozen Turkey Boulder on top of skin. Lightly rub some (1Tbs) oil over the boulder. Season again with more Hickory Rub. Slide into the business end of the Dragon Lady and fire her up. Once she is lit and breathing fire, close door. Set temp to 250º and walk away. Remember it is frozen solid can't put a probe in it yet. Will be shooting for an IT of 155º

OK Turkey boulder is all done got busy and the temp slipped up to 169 but it is in FTC in Microwave for a few hours then it will take a nap in the fridge over night. Will slice it in the morning.

Coming out of the Dragon Lady

Just checking a few things then I am going to go up and start slicing the boulder. I borrowed a slicer from a friend so I can slice thin

Post by: Tenpoint5 on July 26, 2012, 07:24:42 PM
Like Wow I will be doing more of these. Remember I don't like poultry but this thing turned out great. The flavor is like a ham almost. The meat is nice and juicy. Never thought I would get a 3/4-1 inch Smoke Ring on the boulder. It is there its light but it is there. Even pointed it out.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072612152451.jpg) (http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072612152700.jpg)

Everything all sliced up in a foil pan waiting to be vac sealed for sandwiches at a later date.

Chris, I really dislike poultry... But I've smoked those boulders and they are very good.  I think it was STC and KyNola that got me started on those.

Great job on that one.

The 2012 MidWest Smoke Out has officially begun. All of the folks that was driving, all made it in last night. So we can start the picture posting process. Not that I have a lot of them. I was doing a lot of running around finishing things up.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072712161013.jpg)

Remembered I should take a couple pictures after all the introductions were done and the travelers had started to unwind. The guys were mostly out of any sort of light whatsoever so it was a short picture session.

Bam1

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072712214834.jpg)

The Wives all huddled together plotting our demise! We have clockwise Miss June in the Bradley T-shirt (Seemore), Miss Audrey (Bam1), Miss Vicky, (10.5), and Miss Holly (OU812).

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072712214821.jpg)

We didn't have any sort of real dinner planned for Friday night. It was mostly snack on foods. Squirt had asked about the SRG and wanted to kick the tires on one. I fired mine up and 20 minutes later we had some Chicken Wings. While they was cooling off, I put the grill on the SRG and set about heating up some of them Pork and Shrimp Sausages. We sent this home with Brian (Bam1)

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072712221448.jpg)

That's all I have for now.

The last of the travelers has gotten on the road home. I will do some final clean up outside, then will sit down and up load the pictures I have. The videographer (Squirtthecat) forgot his laptop so he will be loading his up when he gets home or Monday morning sometime.

Did have one person show up. Talked to everyone, was a real nice fella. I never did catch his name. Too busy getting food ready I guess. Maybe one of the others can say who it is. I did find a picture of him on my phone. I think 10.5 1/4 might have taken it. Here it is

OK here I go back in time a little bit. I have the some of the prep pictures Squirt has the rest.

Saturday morning the day of the Smoke Out.

I found two of these a sitting in my freezer. Si I says to Bam1. How's about some pulled beef?

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812094731.jpg)

They was frozen solid. I seasoned both sides with some Billy Bob's Seasoning (Thanks SouthernSmoked) and into the Traeger they went at 250º. They was pulled and shredded at 200º it was dinner time so no FTC.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812095220.jpg)

Then I says to Bam1. Now we need to do some pork loin. I saw something on the forum about somebody doing this roll thing. I think we can do it if we try hard enough. I have a bone in loin we can practice with. You see first you bone it all out.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812094722.jpg)

You slice it and make it look all flattened out like. Then you get you some Cream Cheese and some Garlic Pesto and some John Henry's Texas Pig Rub. Slap them all together on there

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812100536.jpg)

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812101131.jpg)

Then you roll it all up with the tenderloin that you found on there to the inside. You make a big mess tying the thing up and season the outside

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812102315.jpg)

Then you stuff it in the Bradley under the Boston Butt that has been running all night long.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812102612.jpg) (http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812102620.jpg)

You pull the butt and roll 1:40 of Whiskey Oak Still maintaining the 230º that the Butt was at.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812104350.jpg)

After the smoke is over turn the temp down to 210 and let it roll. It looks like this after the smoke is done.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812114324.jpg)

After everything is all said and done you pull the loin at 153º and send it off for a nap in FTC

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812135229.jpg)

Meanwhile you have yanked the butt out and sent it off to FTC as well.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812113919.jpg) (http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812113855.jpg)

Squirt says hey lets do a Tri Tip! So he fired up the Traeger and got that to cooking.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812170555.jpg)

ClassicRockGriller got started on pulling the beef

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812170600.jpg)

Meanwhile there was some general conversations going on

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812170606.jpg)

All under the watchful eye of the guys from Galesburg. Yeah right they was having just as much fun as we were!!

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812170615.jpg)

And of course Everyone was taking pictures. Still not sure who this guy was for sure!! Maybe he will get on here and post a comment or two.

(http://i222.photobucket.com/albums/dd237/tenpoint5/072812170652.jpg)

All in all It was a GREAT DAY. The HOT weather broke it was only like 83º, a light breeze blowing unless you was under one of the canopies. There was a lot of OLD FRIENDS and some NEW FRIENDS all having a good time together. There was absolutly no drinking, or any lies told during the entire weekend!! :o :o That's it I am out of pictures.

If you wouldn't have went home and went to bed with the sun. You would have known we was using Whiskey Oak on the Butt as well!!

I still say you was the smart one. You was smart enough to go get some sleep unlike the rest of us. Even I was the pansy a$$ that went to bed at 2am. Instead of the Big Dogs that went to bed at 4 and 5 am Friday night (Sat Morning) and the 3-3:30 Saturday night (Sun Morning)!!

Looks like all the usual suspects were there.  I'm sorry I missed it this year.

Hal and I would like to thank the folks at Bradley for producing the Bradley Grill in the color of the NCAA National Basketball Champions, the UK Wildcats! ;D

How the heck did that dude with the passport ever get across the border, eh? ;)

See?  He gets away where he thinks no one will know he does something as blasphemous as drinking out of an Iowa mug.  I appreciate you busting him out on it.  He will be properly chastised when he comes to Paducah Ky for the BBQ on the River Festival 9/27-9/29.  I was going to have Coach John Calipari here to personally welcome Hal back to Paducah KY where he belongs but that's pretty much out now. :)

It only took two hours to assemble and there were only two extra parts that Chris and Hal decided they weren't needed.  That two hours does not include the Twenty minutes it took to get it out of the box.

White corn tortillas cut however you want them. Drop in hot 300-350 canola oil. Leave them in the oil just until they start to change color then drain on paper towels and season with sea salt or what ever flavoring you want to try right away. Toss into a brown paper bag to soak up any extra oils. That's it.

Here are our pictures. 
We arrived in Cascade around 12:30 last Friday.  While Tasha rested, we set up.
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/6afd477f.jpg)
As Mr is a Cyclone fan, I just had to take a picture of this planter at the campground:
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/59bb5389.jpg)
Stopped over at 10.5's, and the fun began.  We missed the people from last year who did not make it this year, but we met some new friends.
So, there we were, and along came three guys who ended up being our neighbors at the campground.  They referred to us as 'Beverly Hills', so I guess that makes them the 'Beverly Hillbillies'.
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/e32e37f6.jpg)
So, if Hal was Jed Clampett, and Pat was Jethro Clampett, would Sonny be Granny Clampett?????   ???
So, we had these three dudes over for breakfast on Saturday.
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/b6ae5e00.jpg)
Seemore and I cooked up a Dutch oven breakfast.
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/5e200761.jpg)
Tasha even took over Sonny's chair!
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/933f13ca.jpg)
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/031db16d.jpg)
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/d6e5fa5a.jpg)
WHICH WAY TO THE SMOKEOUT????
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/2d9c1a43.jpg)
So off we go.  I was the Designated Driver for the weekend.  ALTHOUGH HE DID NOT HAVE TO, Hal bought this adorable little guy for me:

(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/0fda64fd.jpg)
Let the fun begin!
Scott and Brian
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/7b4e9e1a.jpg)
Pat and Lance:

Vickie and her good friend Laura kept us stocked up on snacks and drinks

(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/14bb60c6.jpg)
The day turned into night, and it ended all too quickly.
On Sunday, 10.5 came out to the campground
(http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/seemorephoto/30571e1d.jpg)
