How many of you outdoor cook with a Traeger? If not what is your BBQ rig of choice?

picked up a chuck steak to grind up some burgers, wanted to try a new higher protein bun alternative so I made a batch of red lentil buns. I've made wraps before out of them but never a hamburger bun. It was ok, nothing to write home about, but a fun project for a beautiful sunny warm fall day.

First I made a batch of the buns, kind of look like reddish pancakes, it's just lentils and water, salt & pepper, fried in butter. Grinded the chuck with my last Vidalia onion of the year, sprinkled on some Dizzy Pig Cowlick & did a reverse sear with pecan.

met the boy Friday for happy hour in town, Sedona Taphouse, killer ABTs along with an Abita from NOLA, love that stuff:

Thermapen one is better and a steal at that price.

Never thought I would pay that much for a thermometer but I also do have the Meater 2 Plus. Very nice.

Blackstone and weber combining? Could be good as long as the venture (vulture) capitalists stay out of it!

I might be done with St Louis style ribs. The store I went to today did not have any so I got the old fashioned spare ribs. These were significantly cheaper per pound. Cooked at 300 degrees the whole time as I was running late. Spectacular!

Not about a grill but, about 25 years ago I bought this three piece entertainment center that was popular with the big CRT TVs. It is solid cherry throughout. Several years ago I tried selling it for $300 and had zero interest. I decided to cut the top 2/3 of the center part off to make a low TV stand that still looks great. The remainder of the top was turned into cutting boards, these are just a few.

Made some ABTs to bring to my neighbor's for the Superbowl bitch-slapping laid upon the Swifty patrol, the jalapenos were freakishly long so most of them got two little smokies. Some Dizzy Pig Pineapple Head on the cream cheese adds a nice sweetness. Also tossed on some chicken thighs for a batch of chicken fried rice for the week. Used my standard setup, Kingsford briquettes with pecan wood on the kettle, indirect at full tilt, probably 400 degrees-ish, about 40 minutes

Made some ABTs

I see double-meat jalapeno poppers, but no idea what ABT means.

Atomic Buffalo Turds, just one of the probably many names poppers go by

I’m a firm charcoal guy, smoker, grill, you name it, but doing these poppers in the air fryer are a great way to go if pressed on time
