Blades n BBQ!

The finished product, at least before it is pulled. I think this may be my best bark yet.

You had me at 7 hrs! I love long cooks. Trying to decide what I’m going to cook today while waiting for Costco to open.

Long slow simmer is the way.

Long slow simmer is the way.

Agreed, it ain’t worth eating if it ain’t been cooking for at least 4 hrs. I’m leaning towards some short ribs braised in a red gravy.

That looks delicious! Cooked through the night?

Thanks! Can confirm it is tasty. Nothing like pulled pork for breakfast. Yup, cooked through the night I my little electric smoker. I woke up a couple time to add on more wood chips to the firebox and check temps. Total cook was about 13-14 hours for 7ish lbs butt.

Looks tremendous!

That sounds scrumptious! How did they taste? The only time I have had alligator was in a po’boy and it was fishy more chickeny flavor.

It was. The crawfish was prominent in that pairing, while the gator and pork was a good balance. Both had some heat but coming from Louisiana I would expect that. I enjoy alligator when properly cooked. The fish market I use gets it in 1 pound packages. I have fried and grilled it. I love fried food but prefer gator grilled. In restaurants you do not know about the oil that was used.

Possibly the best meat I’ve ever had was fried gator. We killed 3 gators and had the meat in the fryer within a few hrs. Absolutely amazing.

It’s also pretty crazy how we had to hold the tail down while skinning it. It was moving like a lizards tail when pulled off. Even as we were cutting the meat into chunks it was still jumping when the knife touched it.

That's a 'Having a lousy week at work and it's still only Sunday night' sort of meal!

Lousy day for sure and yes, sometimes I have a lousy week before it starts. Wife was at a work function so I used the opportunity to my advantage.

Who else like late night butts?

 

[mitchnola]

Simply chicken!

Some poppers and I ran out of bacon but I had a jalapeno spam loaf, so I made a cheese and jalapeno stuffed spam!

Does Texas red chili leave all rhe grease in the chile? Or is that another type of TX chili? I had some and the grease upset my stomach.
