Opening Salvo for the USS Farkernaught....................Mini Pizza Peppers..........................Arggggggggggggggg

The opening "shot" in the battle belongs to team noobian

Or as I like to call it the noobian ninjas.

Here is my entry for the noobian

Half a yard bird. I let the skin dry out for a day in the fridge. This morning I gave it a good coat of bone sacking sauce rub, it's a good sweet rub. Diced up some red skin potatoes while I was at it. Half way through I brushed it with a doctored up Stubbs spicy then once more with 15 min left. The bird came out real juicy, the taters were good too.

On the grill



Had some Bad Company radio going during the cook, that JBL charge rocks



Carved up



And plated

Argh, I was one minute late for the first entry.

BAM! Bluesman! These Noobs are already a little slow but Dayum SN! Mighty Fine!

Oh, what the fark, here's an entry for the veteran Farkenaughts.

So, I started by making a bigass fatty -- a two chub super fatty, that I cooked on the 18.5 OTG with KB and some Apple wood.



When it was done, I sliced it, and put a slice on a toasted English muffin. Nice smoke ring on that sausage.



I whipped up a Hollandaise sauce, and poached an egg.

I present to you a Fatty Benedict, garnished with diced jalepeño from my garden -- and a little parsley from my garden, just for Ronelle. :becky:



^^^^^ money shot.

So, how did it taste?



Breakfast is served!

Official Veteran entry.

No need fer ye noobs to hang the jib, we veterans arrgh raising the red flag and shall give no quarter!

Aye was feeling a wee bit squiffy and amok with hungar, so I broke out one of my favorite rubs from my bag of swag aye got from Brethren Don Marco and fired up the Libby the Lion Gasser.



Aye rubbed down some bone in sheep chops with extra virgin oil from me crankcase and flung some of the rub around.



Here she be all plated with ratatouille and a baked tater aye found down in the galley.



Now it's time to haul my arse up the Bonaventure mizzen for a bit of shut eye.

Dang we gots us some fine entries going so far! :thumb:

Dang, I was hoping Jed was gonna be on holiday for this one. He's a good cook and photographer.

We're gonna have to step it up ninja noobs.

Jed is NEVER on vaca when it comes to a good TD.............


He's like a hero

Please accept this as my 1st of several Veteran entries to the Vets vs Noobies TD.

So, dwfisk as asking if Bandera clone folks cooked on the firebox top grate, so I figured I would give it another shot.

Loaded Earl up with some Stumps and some cherry chunks and got the fire piping hot (450F-ish).

Had marinaded some thighs and boneless skinless breasts in some Stubb's chicken marinade.



Then the fire was ready, I dusted the chicken with a mix of HDD and Butcher's Honey BBQ rub.

Threw the chicken on with some Possum Korn. Our guests and Tasha were intrigued by the sides I had cooked up this week.



In about 15 minutes, the chicken had started to get some char from some flare ups, so I adjusted some vents and threw my heavy isolation plate on top of the fire backet to act as a deflector to finish the cook.

Once the chicken and corn finished, I had to pull a 3/16" thick, 20"x20" plate that had just spent 30 minutes soaking up the heat on top of the firebasket....that was an adventure!!!! I had to pull the plate to get some direct heat for the grilled romaine...see what I mean about them wanting to try my side adventures???

Here is the yard bird!



The romaine...
