Blues for lunch. The kid my wife and myself landed 6 yesterday morning. Only 5 in pic. They were just the right size. No bigger than 18 inches to keep the oil in check. Pan fried them today. They were good. I like blues. A lot of people don’t bit off u keep the small ones they are not oily. My kid caught a few flounder too that were released.

Good time!

I know it’s only Tuesday, but what the heck - I’m retired! Plus, summer has just started here in North Texas since it rained all May and early June.

Picked up a turkey breast today that I’m going to cook on the Joetisserie once it’s thawed. Will be using a hot turkey recipe that I found on the Kamado Joe YouTube channel. It uses Frank’s hot sauce as the base.

How did the turkey turn out?

Still thawing in the fridge.

Oops, I clearly skipped over the part that said when thawed!

On day 4 of leftovers after Thanksgiving many years ago I cooked up some Buffalo Turkey and it was amazing. It was uniquely different than Buffalo chicken the same way the Turkey is in the first place. I probably make some sort of Buffalo Turkey half of the time with leftovers now.

Turkey still has a little thawing left to do, so I’ll target tomorrow or Saturday for the cook. In the meantime, I was looking at various charcoal starters and came across this tried and true method. Real men indeed!

I’ve got a brisket and pork shoulder going on late tomorrow evening for an overnight smoke. If I remember, I’ll take pictures

I love the privacy on the fence can you tell me how that was constructed?

Sure - all cedar construction except for the louvers. The posts are either 4x4 or 6x6. The louvers are Trex. The builder built the “boxes” with the louvers and then attached them to the posts. I had found a picture on the internet of the privacy screen and really liked it. Most contractors proposed custom fabricated metal louvers, which were expensive, but one guy said he could build it with Trex. Turned out great! There’s another thread on this site somewhere of the original picture I found because someone else asked about them. If I find it, I’ll add the pic.

Here’s the picture that I gave to contractors for the bid. I told them to look at the one in the background and let them know I wanted to stagger 3 separate structures.

Hopefully, I remember to take pics of this when I serve the food. Put them both on at 10pm and smoked overnight. As of 8am both are at 165-170. Looking good!

What is it being cooked in?

That B&H is SO GOOD in the summer. I like it splashed into my gin & topo

Steak and eggs

Where’s the sautéed onions and tomatoes

Looks great! I love using our outdoor griddle for weekend breakfast. I’ll be doing egg burritos tomorrow with whatever is left over from today.

I enjoyed reading this whole forum this morning. Y'all are some experts, that's for sure! Have a question for anyone who has a Weber gas grill (I also have a huge charcoal grill, but the Weber gets the most use these days for just the 2 of us). I need a new 3 burner tube set up and see aftermarket (not OEM) sets from Amazon. Anyone have experience with this and have recommendations?

Finally got around to the turkey breast. Marinated for 3 hours in Frank’s Hot Sauce and Dale’s Steak Seasoning, 2:1 Frank’s to Dale’s ratio, recipe courtesy of Chef Eric on the Kamado Joe channel. Basting in same sauce every 30 minutes. This is my first time using the Joetisserie and I’m having a little trouble keeping temp at 350°. It was up around 380° for the first hour, so I hope I don’t dry it out!

edit: Turkey was cooked perfectly, so I was happy about that. I’m not a big fan of the Dale’s seasoning, though. I really like the taste of Frank’s and next time I’ll either go with a straight Worcestershire sauce or butter like a hot wing. Dale’s is heavy in the Worcestershire, but has other stuff that gives it a funky flavor.
