I need more info on the cheesecake please.

I used Paula Deen's pumpkin cheesecake recipe just by googling pumpkin cheesecake. It should be the top or second recipe that displays. As thick as it was they were calling for 1 hour at 350 but at 350 on my pellet grill the edges were starting to set and the center was still soup. It took probably 2 hours and 15 minutes total. Being a first time I did not know how the pan would react but I should have rotated the pan every 30-40 minutes because one side got more done almost burned compared to the other side.

It is really good, very pumpkin flavored. Sort of tastes like pumpkin pie but also cheesecake at the same time.

Hoping that brings some votes for the noobies

Thanks. How about the smokey flavor for cheesecake - better than the plain old oven?

Ahoy there! Here's another injected chicken broadside at the vaunted vets from a Noobian ninja pirate. The last pic is for polling.

Injected Chicken Cook - Pr0n

Come on Noobs - let's sneak up on the vets with more cooks during the week when they are sleeping

Here are four of the six halves we cooked - we left the other two resting in foil for second helpings :-D

To be completely honest with you anything above 275-300 on the pellet grill there is absolutely no smoke flavor what so ever. That is one thing the wife is happy about because she is not a fan of my smoked food so it makes her happy to not taste smoke. Even on my MOINK balls and Tri-tip you don't taste a lot of smoke but you have a great smoke ring.

Personally I would love to taste more smoky flavor in my meat. I have bought a smoke tube but have yet to try it, just waiting for a long cook before I use it because the one I have will smoke for 4 hours so doesn't do much good to use it for a 2 hour rib cook before wrapping.

That is one heck of an opening salvo Jeff! Way to jump right into the fray.

Tonight was supposed to be leftover tri-tip, but...

http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=195753

So, on my way home I picked up ANOTHER Hatch chile and cheese stuffed tenderloin for tomorrow and to make myself feel better, I thought I needed a CAB Prime ribeye for tonight :becky:

Decided that asparagus was the correct veggie to pair with it and went on my way...

The beverage for tonight is a Kentucky Boubon Barrel Ale (8.2% ABV and only 15 IBU, Keith, so back off! :boink...

...and before dbq says anything about the damn glass, :razz:

...so suck it, mister! :becky:

Got the ribeye dusted with Ted & Barneys while I get the coals hot on the Kettle.

Dusted the asparagus with some Asian 5 spice...

On the heat...

On to the next side!

Pulled the ribeye off direct heat and put on the asparagus...

Ain't is a beauty?

Plated - Please use the shot below as my polling pic.

The slice...

...and the ice cold nightcap straight from the freezer to put up with all you farkers...

The 5 spice didn't really work well on the asparagus but damn was that steak spot-on!

The only knock on the steak is it seems they cut off the cap and I didn't really notice until it was on the grill....and that's my favorite part!

throwdown entry for team noob

Ok, this is my first throwdown entry ever...so here goes. I had a leftover 7lb pork shoulder in the deep freeze and we are planning on moving in the next two weeks....so a backyard bbq with our neighbors was in order started the 22.5 OTG about 11:30 am with kingsford blue bag

fast forward 6 hours in the OTG with applewood + hickory chunks and 1 hour wrapped in towels and this beauty emerged

And just to use the last bit of heat from the coals, threw on a pan on baked beans with a bit o bacon and left over rub thrown in plus all the remaining soaked chips and chunks. This was the result and please use this pic as my polling pic!!!

 

[MS2SB]

That is a great looking cook! And welcome to the Throwdowns.
