Wanted to try something different tonight, so we picked up a small Bison Bottom round. I brined it in a combo of dark beer, garlic, onion, salt,pepper and some cayenne pepper.

This is after about 18hrs in the brine.

After about 2/2.5hrs in the Traeger, it looked delicious!

Not too bad for my first cook with bison. :-)

Looks delicious, Eric.

I've got a whole chicken I butterflied, rubbed with olive oil and fresh rosemary and fresh sage. Roasted potatoes the same way and zucchini with a little salt and pepper.

Dinner is in 15 minutes.

For Father's Day, I had my parents and grandmother over.
Some might think I made too much food for 6 people, but I think it was just about right. :-)

Started off with some sausage and pepper heroes.

Next moved on to some chicken and tri-tip.

Awesome work Dom. Even the plating looks fantastic.


How do you like the meat hooks and how well do they work out for you? I'm debating about adding them to one of my setups.
[Reply]

Very impressive, Dom. Well done. :-)
[Reply]

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Adam, the meat hooks are working quite well for me.
I really love how they boost capacity.
This coming weekend I plan on having a dozen half chickens on the cooker.
The Pit Barrel is only a 30 gallon drum.
The only things I worry about hanging is ribs, but everything I've read says they won't fall or burn.
It is quickly becoming my favorite cooker.

I would say that based on Dom's post, the economy has fully recovered. Or he found a drug-dealer's wallet
on the ground outside of the grocery store.
[Reply]

Thanks. Yeah, potentially having meat fall off of them on some longer cooks was a concern for me. Thinking maybe I'll add them to one of my drums.

I thought that drum looked a little small but wasn't sure.

What's the diameter on the rebar? Like 5/8?
[Reply]

5/8 is correct.

Found a drug dealers wallet on the ground outside the grocery store so I ran in and grabbed a chuck roll. :-)
Prepped some chuckies for a smoke tomorrow.

Had some room so I threw a ham shank on with the chuckies.

I also did some chickens.

Jeesus Dom, you're on a roll!
[Reply]

Gotta get to Dom's house!! Awesome cooks, Dom.

Mundane shrimp, steak, and scallop kebabs around these parts.

Looks like Dom's making good use of that charcoal he got on sale. :-)
