Ultramag's 1st Annual BBQ Herf

[novasurf]

Nicely done fellas!

And nicely done to you as well Norman, lest anyone forget about the caffienated care package you sent. That went over big...especially once I got monsoon to put less than 3 Tbs per cup of espresso grind in the dripper

There's always a little trepidation about being the only SOTL. Thank God Brandy and Stephanie were there to lend a lil more estrogen to the proceedings. As usual though, you, my brothers, helped me to feel right at home. It was great to see the old faces and meet some new ones, except that Spongy guy. He reminds me of someone. It'll come to me. I won't do a complete run down, you're all awesome people and I can't wait to see you again. I do want to give out a few nods though.

To Alan for putting together an awesome little initiation package for Evan. You can't have a Clinton BBQ without possum.

I'm going to nominate Andrew for the Phone of the Year. It allows you to stab someone, with sound effects!!

I think most of my pics are repeats or just different angles, so I'm not going to post them... except one.

Evan - Where's this glove been?



Ladies and gentlemen, it was an amazing Saturday and I can't wait to do it again.

Notice that once I donned the gloves that everyone seemed to scatter

Sorry for the delay k-hat, been a busy week. Here is the bean recipe:

WICKED BAKED BEANS
(Beans that will even make Chili Heads happy)

6-8 strips of bacon cut into 1/2 inch squares
1/2 Medium onion, diced
1/2 Bell pepper, diced
1 - 2 Jalapeño Peppers, diced (seeding is optional)
1 - 55 ounce can Bush’s Baked Beans
1-8 ounce can of pineapple chunks, drained
1 Cup Brown Sugar, packed
1 Cup ketchup
1/2 - 1 Tbs. dry (ground) mustard

Sauté bacon pieces in fry pan until crispy and remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Sauté onion, bell pepper and jalapeño pepper until tender.

In a large mixing bowl combine beans, pineapple, brown sugar, ketchup and dry mustard. Stir in bacon pieces and vegetables. Pour into a 12X9 or a deep 9X9 aluminum baking pan. (While mixing if things look dry, add additional ketchup 1/4 -1/2 cup at a time)

Place in a 220-250° smoker for 2 1/2 – 3 hours (make sure temperature of the baked beans reaches 160° ) or place in a 350° oven and bake for 1 hour.

NOTE: If you are making these beans as a side dish for Kansas City style pork ribs, smoke the removed skirt meat for 1-1 1/2 hours, then dice the skirt meat and stir into the Baked Beans.

I have a pork loin marinating Chad. We are gonna try your beans tomorrow. I assume that the jalapeno peppers are fresh ones...

That would be correct Mr. Hat. Good luck with the beans.
