Monster armadillo eggs going on soon.

These things are huge, I think they're more like dinosaur eggs...

All full of awesomenes!
:cheers:
 
Thanks, mcblink! I'll give em a try soon. One more question: That big barrel smoker (or looks like one) that's behind you in the picture that shows all your BBQ hardware, is that some brand or did you make it?

That is @LRT in the picture, my beer gut easily eclipses his lol

Both the smokers are Char-Griller brand. He got his new a month or two ago, I grabbed up the other one on the cheap from a guy that is moving out of state soon. This might be a better pic

My dad has a great big reverse-flow smoker he built from old tanks, looks like this:

Since these pics, my dad also built a another big cooking box that sits right about where the smokestack is, last weekend he successfully fed pork butt to over 400 men at a function that their church put on. 400 dudes! He was nervous, but said everything went great!



On another note, LRT and I have been seriously considering putting together a team and entering some competitions, just for fun.
 
Actually looks like its two of em side by side...
Yeah there's a propane grill on the left side, offset smoker on the right side.

I probably wouldn't have gone out of my way to pick this one, but it was going for cheap, so I snagged it up. I don't think the propane side will get much use, but I have been considering modifying it in such a way that I could cold smoke stuff in it, like cheeses or whatever

Or maybe you are referencing that half of a 55 gallon drum with the fire in it? That's just an old rusty drum to contain the fire, redneck firepit lol

Now THIS is the kind of smoker I've wanted to get my hands on for a long time! Thick gauge steel, perfect size, sturdy as a tank and a great smokestack... plus the built-in wraparound shelf. Dammit! You dont get those up here. Not easily, at least.

Entering the BBQ circuit can be quite profitable... If the ones we get up here every year are any sign, there's a pretty penny to be made!
 
Not grilled. But pretty yummy. Fried fish tacos and a Mai Tai. Cabbage with a seasoned sour cream/Mayo dressing and pickled red onions

I have done this exact meal using marinated grilled Mahi Mahi. While good. Battered and fried is just better.
