My second attempt, first one was a couple years ago it was a kill & grill.

Had nothing better to do this evening so I figured I try another one. This one may not go as well.  

I’m fairly new at using a smoker, it's been a little over a year now. Have made some meat that turned out great (imho) & have screwed some up. Here goes.

Steak: Got the it up to 115°ish then set it on a hot cast iron skillet (used the Alton Brown way to get the pan hot) for a minute per side.

Bacon wrapped scallops: Completely random, was looking at recipes on-line, saw it and figured to give it a try. They were decent, if I were to do it again I probably would use more spice & no bacon.






I like steak rare, this came out a little over done. At least it was tender & juicy.




Dessert:



Flame away!

If your napkin is under the plate it has become a placemat, leaving you again without a napkin... You heathen.

Not bad, but for future reference, the scallop should be seared, golden brown in oil and butter, translucent in the middle.

If wrapping in bacon, trim the bacon so that the scallop makes contact with thw skillet

No vegs, so

What's with the calipers?  

Not sure about the Peeps (actually, I am--I hate Peeps, so minus 1 point).  

I like the redneck surf and turf thing going on.  I need some type of side dish though, so another point off.  Looks tasty overall, and thumbs up for the Yuengling (Trump supporter beer).

I'm all for having my meat with a side of meat for dinner, but dammit man, this is dinner pic.

-1, no real sides
-1, no napkin
-1, because I can't have red meat right now, and I'm jealous.

No shrubbery anywhere near the real food, and you don't need no stinkin napkin when you have a giant one covering the whole table.
