Looks like a wet cook today. Wife is out of town so having the guys from work over for a tailgate and cookout. Going with 3 racks of ribs, smoked bologna log, and smoked queso. Getting everything started around 3. GO DAWGS!!

I got a pork shoulder on but I’m lazy so I’m doing this thing where I just set it in a throw away pan with some beer and orange juice and it kinda smokes and braises it at the same time. Always comes out perfect this way and I don’t even have to watch it.

235° and the braising liquid speeds the process. Once it takes smoke for 4 hours I’ll cover the pan with foil. I put it on at 9. By the time I pull it off and let it rest a while we will be having pulled pork sandwiches before kickoff. 7-8 hours cook time on a 6 lb butt and let it rest for 2 hrs. Could be shorter but that’s what im thinking with this cold wet weather.

Picked up a bag of Golden Flake sweet heat fried pork skins at Amoco. Anda bag of cajun spicy roasted hot peanuts in the shell. Both pair well with Stella and also Coors. For gametime, i’ll be airfrying some wings. Have a brine prepared that I need to get them in soon. Thanks for reminding me

What model of air fryer do you have now? I need to upgrade. Got an older ninja that works but need more capacity.

I have a Ninja Foodie that’s probably 4 or 5 years old. I believe its the original model. Still works as good today as it did on day 1 as far as i can tell

Gotcha. I see they have a another version that looks like a big toaster oven. Looks like the capacity on that one is huge.

The Kalorik oven is a game changer.

It's an oven and air fryer and it's badass

Went with the sliders. Too nervous to eat more than one right now and don’t want to lose my buzz.

I'll post some up soon.

We decided to remodel the home that was on the property after realizing the foundation was in good shape. Sure looked like a tear down, but them old growth hardwoods are badass.

Didn't get a pic of the finished ribs, but they turned out good. Bologna was awesome with the white bread, dukes, and slice of cheese. Queso...really good. And a little kicker board at the end just to keep it healthy!

PIC HEAVY

Bologna looks dope!

Cream of mush in your queso? What's that about?

I think it keeps the cheese smoother longer after taking it off the heat. You could also use cream of jalapeno for an extra kick. I pour the juice from the can of nacho jalapeno in the mix as well.
