I BBQ some chicken tonight on mesquite

Dry rub
Chipotle powder
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Fine ground salt
Fine ground pepper

Onions, cilantro, olive oil

I spray on the olive oil lightly so the rub will stick, bag it overnight and cook it when the mesquite is ready.

Since I was at work on Saturday drooling over what some of you have made.
Decided to do some smoking myself too...

I tried the apple butter pork tenderloins again with cut up apples in it, made it a lot better!!
And pulled it off when the meat hit 140*
Nice and moist, melt in your mouth pork!

And a baked bean recipe that I found on YouTube and made it my own, slow cooked for 3 hours in with the meat!!
And some cold broccoli salad to finish the plate off with.

Damn was it all good, with left overs for work today!!
Some at work all ready salivating!!

Looks amazing!

I want to try this pork tenderloin, but I have a question. I have several jars of apple butter that were given to me. Do you guys think it would be good using this instead of the apples?

That's what I used on top of adding apples to the mix.

I added apples because I wanted more flavor and even more moisture to the pork since tenderloins are pretty dry to begin with.

If you do use apples get some with some bite, IE: granny smith, etc...
 
Not really "true" apple butter but close. haha

some chopped onions, apple sauce, chopped apples and stick butter, mix together.
The tenderloins have very little fat so you need to put some moisture in the meat.

Pounded the tenderloins with my tenderizer.
Mushed the apple butter mix onto one side of each loin, put them together and tied them up with some butcher string and in the pan they went onto the grill.
A little of my own SPG seasoning mix on top.

Around 2 hours at 300. I took them off when the thermometer was at 145-150.
Let sit for about 20 min after.

Got the idea from these guys and did it my own way.
Apple Butter pork loins

Picture is when I put it right on the grill..

What does SPG seasoning stand for?
 
The seafood looks great.

Mind sharing the seasonings and cook temps etc?

I cooked over a raised grate at about 350. Red coals in bottom so there was good heat. Did the salmon and frozen crab legs at the same time, took about the same amount of time to finish. Threw the shrimp skewers on toward the end, just enough time to get a few sears and turn red. Seasoning is just a blackened redfish seasoning and Slap Ya Mama (because I ran out of redfish seasoning). Salmon also had lemon slices and some butter tabs that melted in during cooking. Turned out great!

Oh ok. I just assume on all the posts that everyone makes their own seasoning and not store bought :)

For measuring temp, do you have one of those thermometers you put in the grill? I have one too...

For the most part I make my own seasoning.

I do have store bought ones too.. depends what taste I want at the time.

I have two thermometers in the hood of my grill (one on each side of the grates) and one you put on the grates.

Also have a digital meat thermometer to take the temp of the meat..
 
The BGE has a dome thermometer that is mostly what I use. If I'm grilling it's all by sight. If I'm barbecuing or smoking, I also have a digital thermometer for things like turkeys and butts.

Ah ok.

As a noob, I've been reading a lot of AmazingRibs and other sites to try to become informed.

I've started doing a better job with chicken and steak in terms of telling when its done cooking by sight, but I double check with digital thermometer.

I read though that seafood like fish and shrimp are a lot harder to measure temp for because they cook so fast. Do you look for the same carmelization that happens to the other meats?

I cook most all my fish skin on, and once it generally starts to flake, I know it's ready. And shrimp, usually once it gets pink it's done. Too much cooking on the shrimp and its overcooked.

Lol

I meant to type carmelization. Autocorrect is hilarious sometimes.

I haven't yet grilled fish but i noticed in the broiler inside, frozen salmon oozes out white stuff when done alao.

That is proteins from the fish, it's good for you. Once the salmon starts to flake at all, it's pretty much done. Usually less than 10 minutes depending on how hot it is.

Flake is what? You touch it and it kind of flakes off?
