Finally got a chance to BBQ something again. 7lb flat drunkenly rubbed last night with a little of this and that and S&P. On at 630 this morning, foiled around 1130 with a temp bump and off around 430. FTC till 6 to eat a few minutes ago. Oldest having her first mashed taters in a while cuz they're "fancy".

Not really BBQ but in honor of LSU Saturday we're making a seafood gumbo.
Nice dark 30 minute roux

Got some andouille sausage on the smoker for a snack later.

Looks great Chevy. Made gumbo the past two weekends. Question, you use butter or oil for your roux?

 

[heavychevy]

This is my first time making gumbo. My pop used to make it a lot growing up. Started with Emeril's recipe then altered things to his liking over the years. He gave me his final recipe to start tinkering to our liking with. Starts with oil get it nice and hot and add ALL the flour. Move it around till its almond color and add the peppers onion and celery. That's all he gave me lol. It was fun to try to recreate it. It's been simmering since 1230 added a few whole crawfish to it to get that in there.

I see you got them mudbugs swimmin in that roux. You got okra in it? I have better luck with butter, I can't seem to get the flour to brown up right with oil. Looks real good.

 

[heavychevy]

Yeah just 4 or 5 whole ones, picked the meat out of the rest and added them in a few minutes ago. No okra, wife is putting some in her bowl though. I'm not a fan.

Bacon definitely helps out a lean meat, because it's bacon

Pitched my old smoker and grabbed one that we had sitting at the condo. I hadn't messed with it much other than to grill. It has an electric element and I don't think I like it. Even with copious amounts of wood chips/chunks, the smoke isn't right. I also play hell trying to get a good bark on anything. I mean, it works, it just isn't the best. I'm certainly going to wait for the holidays before I pull the trigger on something else in case Santa decides I've been good enough.......who am I kidding? I should just buy a new one.

You could do something like this Jab, only I wonder if their hair is falling out from using that galvanized trash can for the firebox.

I like the concept. A 55 gal drum would work.
