First pizza

Made my first pizz last night. It came out really good but... I bought a 16 oz ball of pizza dough from the grocery store and it said to let it rest out of fridge for an hour. I did for 1.5 hours and wound up being kinda touh to roll out and very springy. I used to run a pizza joint in Key West in the 90's and cant remember what I did. After the dough rises do you flour the outside then roll it? or does it need to stay more stickey? Also the crust was thin and yummy and was very filling, but almost to filling. I dont know how to describe it but it was almost like it shold have been a thicker crust but I rolled it to much maybe. here she is. I opted to use an airbake instead of a pizza stone. I like the results.

S&S Birthday

Had the family over Sunday to celebrat Sophias and Selenas birthdays. I cook 14 lbs of pork butt and 10 lbs of chicken. I cannot beilive how good they both came out. Everyone talked up how good the food was and then upon exit took some home leaving me with 1/2 a sandwich bag of chicken a bag and a half of pork....Damn vultures!

Lemon pepper thighs and BBQ wings

Last night I made Lemon pepper chicken thighs and BBQ chicken wings. I homemade the lemon pepper sauce for the thighs and used Dickies BBQ rub and sauce on the wings.

Beef Ribs

I have never ever cooked beef ribs and have them come out any other way than a greesy mess. I decided to give them a go on the egg...my wonderful wonderful egg. They were EGGCELLENT! I bout some regular and short ribs to give them both a try. I used the BBQ rub from BGE cookbook and slow cooked indirect for 3 hours at 250 Removed plate setter, bumped heat to 450 and basted with Mayday BBQ sauce. Its made local and DAMN it taste good!!! It all came out perfect. Served with Squasha and home made potato salad

fair chicken

Well I made some chicken last night that I thought was only okay. Wasnt even worthy of takeing photos of. I thinking smoking it on a beer can, or sittin chicken in my case made it relly juicy and wet. The wetness is what threw me off i think on the taste. Ill try again...

First Spatchcocked chicken

So I made my first spatchcocked last night and all I could think while eating it was "OMFG I cannot beilive that I cooked this!" It might be the best peice of chicken I have ever eaten. I was concerned while it was cooking because of all the smoke from what I am guessing is chicken fat but it didnt hurt it. see pic below, it bellowed thick smoke like this once I made the first flip (20 minutes) and didnt stop till done. I know it should be a very light clear smoke but all in all it tasted good
