I was talking with Greg-B yesterday and our conversation got me thinking about what we like to cook on our pit (really what I like to have Bent cook for me ;D).

I don't think  it is any secret that the two of us are not into eating any of the 4 comp meats.  But there is so much more we use the pit for than those.  My favorites -- beef ribs!!!!!  Hands down the best thing ever.  But Bent also does a fabulous job on rib-eyes and  salmon (funny how he has becomes so good at cooking it on the pit since he will never eat it).

What about you and your families?  Traditional que favorites or do you use it for other things that are favorites?

My pit is used most often as a summer kitchen oven.  I was raised on soup and casseroles so I like casseroles and I cook them in my wood-fired oven.  I'll post some recipes as soon as the photograph issues are smoothed out.

Well I think many heard me say before that I don't do the traditional competition style beef brisket.
But I have had very good results with a typical 4 lb. beef chuck roast from the grocer.
Long slow cook, smashed potatoes, veggies, hot rolls.
Man-o-man, a classic Sunday Dinner!! Gluttony!
I'll soon put some recipe ideas for this in the proper section.

I haven't used my oven in about 4 years. Everything gets done on the smoker at this time unless it's stove top burner stuff.

I'll qualify this as I've never done a brisket. I have done a corned beef thing to try and attain a pastrami. 30% shrinkage for value didn't go over well to me.

Were I to pick a favorite; it would be meat loaf. Don't get me wrong... It's all good. But meat loaf excels in the process.

The best part? Last months electric bill was 35 bucks +/-.   :-*

I'm going to have to try a chuck roast, I'm assuming not a extremely long cook.
