Drink of Choice

[Jonathon]

So, a loooong time ago when Austin and I looked like fresh faced teenagers we did a Will it BBQ episode where we Smoked coffee and OH MY GOD WAS IT BAD. 2nd worst thing I have ever tried and not far off from that #1 spot. However, it has been pointed out to us countless times that we did it wrong and someone here smoked coffee beans and we tried it that way. We might bring back coffee for a will it bbq to report the results on this

[calldoctoday]

@s-a-m Sure wish I could find some around here then.

[calldoctoday]

Jonathon Well, I have never tried actually smoking the beans, but I have tried incorporating coffee grounds (espresso grind or finer) into some homemade rubs & seasonings for beef as well as a little extra for some smoke & always thought it was pretty good. I would like to find out about roasting your own though.

calldoctoday It’s all about knowing your audience. If they’re not a coffee drinker or don’t like the smell or taste, I don’t waste the goodness on them.

calldoctoday A little coffee in a beef rub can do wonders for flavor.

[calldoctoday]

zbigjeff That makes perfect sense.

[calldoctoday]

Tex_77 Haven’t had that one in a while. I remember the old days when it was a big, big, big deal to get it east of the Mississippi & we made a big deal out of it. Then when I would go west, it did not seem as big of a deal. We went to their brewery while in Co one time on assignment & tried some other interesting things they do for locals only.

[calldoctoday]

Tex_77 Agreed, 110%

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Yeah, I’ve done it a time or two. Can add a nice flavor but you know how I prefer them!

[craigrice]

Jonathon instead of coffee you might want to try tea

[Tex_77]

Jonathon i know you like steak cooked in the microwave until well done, with a pound of salt and a combination of A1 and Heinz 57 mixed together.

[zbigjeff]

Tex_77 YOU Guys!!! Love it.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Ohhh that was a quick downvote! I relented however and laughed at the joke. I will be posting some stuff later tonight on a new toy I have to cook a steak!

[Tex_77]

Jonathon counter top 1,500 degree broiler?

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Nah, a new pellet/combo smoker and a searbox on the side from Camp Chef. So, reverse sear in the main chamber and then finish on the sear box that is propane powered. The other option is a side griddle but those aren’t in stock yet. I’m also unreasonably excited for this!

[zbigjeff]

Well, the Texas hooch finally came to Ohio. Picked up a Red River and Texas Pot Still Bourbon. While the Pot Still is pretty good, the Red River is outstanding from a location not known for its Bourbon (Yet). I thank all of the Texans out there that advised the businesses down there are creating some good ones.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Enough said.

[Tex_77]

PapaSop EC is hard to beat for the price.

[glen]

EC is great bang for the buck, I also have an unopened EC Barrel Proof C919 and two of B520!

[zbigjeff]

PapaSop I have that one and 2 others. There’s difference between the 3. But, not “extremely” noticeable in my humble opinion. Yep, there’s a reason for having it in the arsenal. Happy POUR.
