    I developed a taste for Kimchee while I was spending time in Korea. I was over there three times from the late 60's to the late 70's. Learned that you had to eat kimchee as a self defense mechanism because all the local gals ate it. As long as you eat it too you never notice the smell. This was back before everyone had a refrigerator and kimchee was the main vegetable in the average diet during the winter. I really like the cucumber kind.

    That thing looks closer to a Porterhouse than a T-bone. I generally go with a NY strip over a T-bone, because the tenderloin side is usually tiny. But that one had a pretty big tenderloin side. Nice!

    I've never heard of that. Sounds good. Probably low-fat, too... right?

    Snap a picture, if you get a chance.

    Love me some Patacones. One of my favorite bar snacks when I lived in Panama. Cuban sandwich looks great.

    All that cooking made me hungry, cuban food looks good, do you go spicy or a nice mild roast. :) Nice, I hope you get to shoot some cars soon.

    Just one PBR, or after about nine of them. :D

    I've never actually had a PBR, either. I hope you don't think any less of me. ;)

    Ok- that sounds great. I’m going to give that a shot.. 1st round will be just as you described. Second round will be in my green egg.. put it in Dutch oven top open with smoke for ~45 minutes.. rest covered (top on)... can’t wait. Thanks for sharing!

    Oh, oh, I forgot to mention that for the last hour, after the meat is fork tender, I take the lid off of the DO to get some browning happening in the oven.

    I have actually cooked this on a Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker, so your BGE will work fine, but on an 8 pound pork butt, the charcoal/wood doesn't impart a significant amount of flavor. If you use your BGE, I would smoke the meat uncovered for the first hour, and cover for the rest of the cook. After the first hour, a pork butt is not going to take on any significant smoke flavor. After the meat is fork tender, you can uncover it to brown up.

    @caseydog - you and I are going to get along fine. :Thumbsup: I can see you know your way around a kitchen and smoker. You passively expressed you know your stuff... and you are correct. When smoking BBQ the first 45 minutes is “key” to both the flavor and smoke ring. When you ran this on the Smokey Mountain, did the “smoke” add flavor or not? Would you do it again? Technically a Cuban sandwich doesn’t haves smoke flavor. I was thinking I would play with it... appears you already have. Specifically I was thinking apply wood or pecan (sweet and a little smoke flavor). Give it a little twist. My 3rd round (depending on how round 2 goes was tabasco wood. I.e. wood from the barrels. That ads a bit of a unique flavor. Plus I would add a little tobasco mash (dried) to the rub.. just a little, not to much. :). Again just playing with different flavors. If you like flavor and/or spice (yes you can do both) and don’t know mash.. let me know and I’ll send you some with instructions. Its quite unique and can provide some interesting results.. not only on meat but also on veggies, rubs etc. For example:
    Corn - Fresh off the cob
    Cast iron skillet... hot (I do it on my outside grill)
    Butter, cilantro, red onion, garlic, Tabasco mash (lite), Kosher salt, fresh cracked pepper
    Once skillet is hot, pour in the mixture above.. cook till crisp but not “done”. Want it to be fresh and keep the flavor.
    Server hot and immediately. I always do this last while steaks or BBQ rest..

    The basic recipe (just Google it) calls for grape jelly and chili sauce, slightly spicy but sticky & sweet at the same time, not to mention just thrown in a slow cooker.
    Actually really good.

    I really like smoked cheese. You have to cold smoke it or it will melt.

    I made a cold smoker out of a one quart paint can, I burned the coating inside of the can off with a propane torch and drilled 1/4" holes in one side of it, as well as a hole to insert a thirty watt soldering iron in the bottom of the can near the edge, opposite the holes drilled in the can's side. Then I filled the can with hickory wood chips and put the lid on. I used a new soldering iron, so there would be no lead residue on the tip.

    I put it inside of my barbeque and put a chunk of mozzarella and a chunk of mild cheddar over it on the rack and plugged it in. Wow, it worked! I have to try it on some salmon now.

    There were some unburned wood chips in the can after it stopped smoking, I may try wood pellets for a pellet smoker the next time.
