Blackstone is my next grill purchase 100% The grub is lookin' good Dave!
 
Pizza prep has begun, getting the sauce made.

Yum, yum, and yum. I hope pictures are imminent. :)

Dave, between what you’re cooking and what you’re providing for slicing, I imagine every time you grill is a festive feast! Please keep sharing your photos and stories.


Amen to that, Jason!

The lid went up twice today after the ribs went on: once to turn the ribs and add the wings; once to take the whole lot off. Dry rub on the ribs, just salt and pepper on the wings, which were then tossed in extra spicy gochujang sauce:

Western L48B on slicing duty. The meats were paired with collards (flavored with leftover sausage from the photos I showed earlier) on the plate. No knife necessary at this point:

Nice looking cooks. Jason, that folder is beautiful. Done with lunch. 66 Calf Roper opening packages and slicing buns, thanks again Jason. What can I say, we like hot dogs and what's more American on the 4th?! Hot dogs/smoked sausage are the one time I prefer the gasser to coals. Pizza dough to be made in a bit.

Some fine looking vittles today!
Good old burgers and dogs here. Our hilltop location allows us to view fireworks displays from the valley below and the Eastern hills.
Happy Independence day!

This thread could make a person hungry! Homemade wood-fired pizzas for dinner. Sheepsfoot on the 66 made short work of opening charcoal. Pizzas are one of the things I like the Kamado Joe charcoal for.

Clip blade doing a little prep. If there are veggies on it, it's Kim's pizza ha!

Into the hellmouth. 720 degrees F for this.

Finished products. I'm calling my pizza cutter a traditional, because no bike is more traditional than a penny-farthing!

We had about 30 people over to the house yesterday. Everyone brought a side or dessert, while we provided pulled pork, hot dogs and two different smoked Mac & Cheese sides. The pork is from my pork butt smoker picture earlier in the thread, and the mac & cheese on the left is four cheese. The one on the right adds chopped brisket and roasted green chile as well.

It was a great Independence Day celebration.

30 people, that's doing work! Kudos. And who doesn't love mac and cheese? I'm getting a pork butt started myself here shortly.
 
Camillus made 4 1/8" Moore Maker Trapper in Buffalo Horn doing the work on pork butt today. Removing stems from ancho chiles for the rub.

Rubbed up and standing. Fat up, of course.

Halftime refreshments.

Always slice some off for Kim before I shred the rest. She likes it better without sauce.

The 4th:

Nichole is working on her ceviche:

I'm getting a couple of ribeyes ready. Our own grassfed beef:

Our friends Cara and Tyler came over and brought a couple New Yorks, (our grassfed beef again), to add to the grill. Cara also needed some bacon for a mac and cheese side she's making.

Looking for my torch to start the grill. Where do I find it but in the shop hanging with 93 blades that need profiling, drilling and grinding prior to getting sent off to heat treat:

Kay got every thing going:

Shotgun Stewie (our ranching partner and good friend) showed and he brought some custom sausages he gets from a butcher friend of his and some jalapeno poppers, cigars and a Henry rifle he was trading to Cara:

Cara traded an almost pristine Colt 1903 for Stewie's Henry, here Tyler is having a look see:

Everything is Q'ing:

Corn about done and the pepper poppers too:

One must always practice proper rodent control even while grilling:

Inside with everything so the girls can cut em up and make up the plates:

I make em all kinds of kitchen knives and its still funny to see how often the steak knives get put to everyday use:

Dinner is served:

Back outside to eat. There will be fireworks the other side of that hill in the center in a little bit. Fireworks are illegal in our area due to fire danger so there is a city sponsored display at the rodeo grounds. The mountain on the left is part of our ranch.

There they go:

Dang it got cold. Started a fire in the firepit:

And inside for a nip:

Ralph, the boar's skull I found out at the ranch, says he might of been big for grilling but he's certainly got the blades!

Hope everyone had a great Independence Day!
