First Cook On The @PKGrills #PK360 – Cedar Planked Salmon and Asparagus Wrapped In Prociutto

Soak the cedar planks in water for a half hour so they won’t burn. Coat the salmon in EVOO, sprinkle Atlantic Saltworks Coarse Sea Salt, Crushed Black Pepper and on two pieces a maple rub.

Thanks Fosters Grill Store for having the cedar planks in stock and also the killer coozie

Set up the PK 360 for indirect cooking offset the coals. A full chimney in the right side of the pit-

My lovely wife Kate prepped the asparagus-

Crispy “Fried” Chicken With The Virgilio’s Italian Bread Crumbs

Simple.

Pat dry your chicken parts with a paper towel.

Spray with your favorite oil. I find peanut oil works best with chicken.

Then coat chicken with Virgilio’s Bread Crumbs.

Get a full chimney of briquettes going and dump them in the charcoal baskets opposite side of grill from where you’ll place your chicken.

Place a sheet of tin foil under the chicken on the charcoal grate to collect the chicken fat drippings and make clean up a breeze.

Place chicken on grate opposite of the charcoal, toss on some apple it cherry wood. Close the lid and keep vents wide open.

Crispy bite through chicken in 35 minutes with high indirect heat.

#Ribeye cooking in garlic butter on cast iron with the @webergrills Smokey Joe.

Half a chimney of hot coals in the Smokey Joe, vents wide open.  Let cast iron pan heat up.  Pat dry the steak to remove any moisture then coat with  EVOO and season with salt pepper garlic .  Insert thin garlic shavings into small cuts in the steak.

Once cast iron pan is hot put in a good glob of butter and let it just start to brown and then slap your ribeye on.  Don’t move it.  Let it work with the butter and the pan to get some good browning (read flavor).  When you see the edges of the steak curl up a bit then you can lift to check if you got the browning you want on the first side.  Flip and do it to the other side and then hold the steak with the tongs and brown that fat cap along the side.  Drizzle with butter to finish…

Fourth Of July Charcoal Sales

 

There are three charcoal sales that you can pretty much count on year after year.  Memorial Day, Fourth of July and Labor Day.  These sales generally produce 50% off sales and if you even grill 1/4 of the times I do, it’s worth it to stock up.

Regular prices on Kingsford are $10 for an 18.6 lb bag of charcoal which comes to .537 cents per lb.

For comparisons sake I’ll do the math for you.

Home Depot Kingsford Sale 2×18.6= 37.2lbs  $9.88 divided by 37.2lbs=.265 cents per lb

Lowes Royal Oak Briquettes Sale $4 divided 15.4lbs= .259 cents per lb

Lowes Kingsford Sale Same as HD- 2×18.6= 37.2lbs  $9.88 divided by 37.2lbs=.265 cents per lb

Also there are $15 off of $50 coupons out there on the internet for Lowes, so if you get that discount code and use it, you’d need to get 6 two packs.  That’s $59.28-$15 coupon = $44.28 12 bags x 18.6= 223.2 lbs  $44.28 divided by 223.28= .198 cents per lb
