Thanks for the bean recipe, Lotterybraker....planning on making them tomorrow, along with potatoe salad, cole salw, chicken wings, tail meatballs and hot artichoke dip. Having a small crown of 35 people over for a cookout. But, chance of thunderstorms tomorrow is at 80%, and it's storming now here in sunny FL. It just might turn out to be a cook in! Whatever.....everbody enjoy the fourth

In my opinion, a gas grill works best because of the actual fire crisping the meat.

A side dish of corn, and corn bread. Beans and Texas toast. I had that for breakfast one day with eggs and crispy bacon....hashbrowns....and a nice hot cup of coffee with 4 creams and 3 sugars......hmmmmmm A side plate of hot cakes and sausage in authentic Vermont maple syrup...hmmmmm and of course real churned butter, with some hot tea to wash it all down.......hmmm.

Texas toast is much larger than standar... [ More ]

You all are making me hungry!!! Back to the question...since I don't own a smoker I would be using my propane grill, but if I win the lottery I will buy state of the art of both.

I'll be in Oglethorpe County (near Athens) at the sister and brother-in-law's farm. Eating around 5PM. I'm bringing the meat, and others are bringing the rest.

If you are near, let me know.

I'm putting on the rub tonight and will start smoking tomorrow evening. leaving for their place Wed am.

If i'm not working on that day I'll do a teriyaki theme.

One pound of ground round, and one pound of ground sirloin.

Black pepper, little salt, and a good brand of teriyaki glaze, that's thick and not watered down. Mix well, but do not mix too much, since the burgers will get too tough. Just enough that the ingredients are all throughout the meat. Yum YUM!!!

Buy two one pound bags of chicken tenderloin pieces. Place the tenderloin between two layers of saran wrap. Gently beat the tende... [ More ]

Thanx cheesegrits and lotterybraker.

I couldn't wait for an answer, so I went online to find out...lol

Rotel is a brand of tomatoes, which are spicy and are packed with green chiles and jalapenos. They come in mild, original, and extra hot. They also have a Mexican and Italian flavored. You can usually find them with the canned tomatoes, and sometimes with the Mexican food in a grocery store.

I was thinking, Bar-b-que chicken, and mabey some simple stuff, like Hamburgers, and sausages, Grill wise.

I guess I could fire up the smoker to keep things warm, I also like to mix my soaky chips (mesquite and hickory)

Lottery related: Quick-Pick your own meat, potato salad, and watermelon.

I was in Lowe's the other day and they had the commercial grills in the store and I thought of what I could cook on one for a few seconds. I think that even if I had the money I would still like to prepare meat on the grill. When rib eye steaks are on sale at Albertson's I like to buy some. I take it home and rinse off the steak and then sprinkle salt and black pepper on it and grill to well done. My sister and mother are big on applying sauces on all the meats they cook but not me.

I figure with the 4th of July coming, I would bet on a smoker for my cookout. (had to twist this around so it fits with a gambling forum! )

So, are you going to grill or smoke for your cookout?

I'm smoking the meat and grilling some corn and veggies- covering all my bets (see how this is a form of gambling? All those hungry folks waiting to see how your bet works out)

A brisket, pork butt, sausages, chicken, and ribs on the smoker- nothing better than meat that has been smoked all ni... [ More ]
