Money pork chops, twice baked potatoes and Happy Ending sweet corn

Got home today from a great camping weekend with family and friends - wanted to do something simple for dinner and we had brought home some excellent Peaches-n-Cream sweet corn with us!

Started with some boneless pork chops seasoned with BPS Money.





Next - twice backed potatoes. I started making these ahead of time and freezing them. Works out great!!





All in the Yoder being smoked with a Cherry and Hickory mix.





Added a little Happy Ending to the pork chops with a few minutes to go...





Add a little sour cream to the twice baked potato and added Happy Ending to the sweet corn. WOW!! That Happy Ending brought the corn to a whole new level of excellence!!!





Chops done perfectly - wonderful flavor and very juicy!

Tanya those are nice and thick chops! Did you cut those from a center loin?

Love the tater too!

How come everyone else gets such beautiful corn? This California corn sucks...

death wangs vs sissy wangs.

this one for squirt. he loves chicken and hot stuff.

death wangs = 2 big squirts of creamed horseradish, some jalapeno juice, good portion of soileau's, 10 shakes of tabasco, heavy drizzle of chili oil and a few large squirts of sriracha.

note: wear gloves, goggles and respirator if duplicating.

sissy wangs = grape oil and desert gold.

everyone in the pool.

threw some oak pellets down for some smoky, smoky.

alright. were getting a good crisp on.

sissy sauce.

i thought what would squirt use on his death wangs? i know.

they look good. no paint brush was involved.

no one home so the whole plate goes infront of me.

needed some help after 3 of the death wangs.

i ate them all and was in alot of discomfort. forehead sweating, nose running and tears. lets do it again.

salmon you are getting good on the drum! Hey thanks for the love on the rubs everybody! I second that corn deal...

 

[Salmonsmoker]

Thanks BP. I'm learning it takes more time to get the briquettes lit and up to temp. We've had a few late dinners.

Alright, after 2 hours of thinking about the first 3 places I made my decision simply by what I'd love to eat right now most. So here are the winners:

3rd place: RickB - Especially your steak looked great with pefect grillmarks and I loved that potato. Blue cheese butter tastes delicious with steak! The green beans and the cherry tomatos have a beautiful color. Nice harmony of all those components.

2nd place: muebe - Your rib feast was outstanding. I love variations on a theme, and those ribs looked so tasty that I almost bit into my monitor. That was completed with the smashed taters, where you continue your theme with that Texas Candy bacon and the gravy of the rib drippings.

1st place: FLBentRider - I love your idea to prepare the beef chuck with onions and mushrooms in red wine. Simple and delicious! Beef, red wine, onions, and mushrooms are always a great combination and hamonize perfectly. Amazing color on the beef before foiling and great smokering. I'm gonna cook that next time I get some chuck!

Congrats to the winners and everyone who entered - there were some really amazing cooks this weekend!
