It's Wednesday of opening week, and we need a Grilling, Smoking, and Drinking thread for Labor Day

[Seinfeld]

No new equipment for me this year since I've got my mind on other projects, but I'm starting to get the itch for a good, storm-filled Labor Day menu. Hopefully the forecast eases up on us in central Arkansas over the next couple days

First thing's first... I picked up a bottle of Smoke Wagon straight bourbon last weekend, and I've been sippin on some Uncle Nearest rye too, but I've got to find something special for the weekend. I'll see what they have at the store just across the county line since my town with 25 different alcohol pouring restaurants is TECHNICALLY dry, but if all else fails, one of my go to favorites, Knob Creek single barrel 120, will be there to answer the call along with a case of Sam Adams Oktoberfest

As far as food goes, I'm thinking some smoked wings, salsa, rotel, and maybe some local jalapeno & chs summer sausage. Then, smash burgers on Saturday and some chicken quarters on Sunday.

What's everyone else planning?

I think I’m going to do multiple MS Pot Roasts so I can eat leftovers Sunday and Monday. Probably some rotel as well. The key is Sage Jimmy Dean sausage. It gives it a little more flavor.

I’m supposed to be dove hunting at my buddy’s house south of Hattiesburg, but he’s been sick since Sunday. We might just push our annual dove hunt/bullshittery-fest back a couple weeks. If it rains I’ll make a pot of chicken and sausage gumbo. If it doesn’t rain, I’ll smoke a few racks of ribs.

I'm smoking a pork shoulder all day Saturday leading up to the game and the wife is making rotel. Thinking about opening up a bottle of Jamaican gold rum that I got on a cruise earlier this summer

Because of the rain forecast, I’m looking at griddle options. I most likely will have smash burgers, fries, and smashed cinnamon rolls on Saturday. On Sunday, I might make jambalaya fried rice with a side of deep fried boudin balls. For Monday, the weather should be better. I’ve got ribs for the stick burner.

Looking like wings and sausage Saturday, thinking baby backs for Sun or Mon

We're having Mole Crickets on the half shell, pre-soaked in Dale's with Side of Army Worms, and a sprinkling of Four Roses.

Redfish and trout fishing Friday and Saturday. Dove hunting Sunday and Monday. Hope to eat surf and sky all weekend if all goes well. Can’t wait.

 

[RivaDawg]

Probably put on a pork but Friday night. Then Sunday put a steak and some shrimp on the grill.
