July 4th is coming up

[SirBBQ]

What are you BBQ/Grilling? Main dish, sides, desserts etc

[Sickmont]

Not sure yet. I do know for a fact that i'm definitely going to be getting myself toasted like a motherf***er.

I kinda like that grilled portobello recipe Mark just posted.

[imaguitargod]

Haven't even begun to think about it. For now, I'll just say I'm grilling meat.....tasty meat.

[cheezydemon]

Bratwurst! I just did a ton of ribs last weekend, so I will be OK with some simple tasty Brats on the 4th.

I am most excited about the fireworks I just got a deal on.

They are the "mortar" style light it and drop it in the tube. They were marked "sample" and this nice lady swore that they were better than the ones selling 28 for $99.

I took 18 of them for $21.00

I lit one the other night just to see if I got burned. It made a big bang taking off and another huge bang in the air with a professional looking display of color and sparks. My neighbors for several miles around go completely nuts, even if the 4th is on a Tuesday. This year with the 4th on a Friday, they will be going strong until at least 3 in the morning.

Thanks Rich...this is the first time my cousins AND their families have come to visit me here...mom comes out quite often...soooo...this is kinda of a special occasion for the wife and I...I will post what I am using as rubs next week some time...I am in the process of harvesting and dehydrating peppers now...

So what are you feeding Mom and the cousins?:lol:

You know me tooooooo well JayT....

It's funny but when it's just our family....my cousins and I....we absolutely do pig out...we used to have eating contests when we were in our preteens to midteens...it will be a pleasure to have them.

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Also, have fun up north THPFF. (Man you need a shorter name to type:lol:) ;)

Rabbit Thanks it will be fun. You can type HPFF or Tom or TL(my nickname Troutlord yes I get called that sometimes long story dont ask :lol:)

[rabbit]

Rabbit Thanks it will be fun. You can type HPFF or Tom or TL(my nickname Troutlord yes I get called that sometimes long story dont ask :lol:)

Ok TL will work.:) Just out of curiosity though. I remember posting on Michigan Sportsman once on a gardening question with peppers. There was a guy that I think had that name that said he used this sight when I referred here. You wouldn't happen to be a member on that forum too would you? Just curious.:) I'm fasthunter on that one by the way. I've been hanging out on here WAAAAY more lately though:lol: Once it get's close to deer season I'll probably be on both more at that time though.

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Yep that would be me you saw on there :lol: I too spend more
time on here then on that site

[rabbit]

Yeah, I'd say we're chiliheads. I actually used to hang out on the other site alot, but I've gotten into some pretty heated political arguments on there. There's good people on there too, but I honestly like the laid back approach of talking everyone has on here. Guess that's what happens when you're all chili junkies on an endorphin rush eh?:lol:

[DEFCON Creator]

About 160 pounds of wings, imagine that.

[Sickmont]

Jeez, is that ALL you ever make?:lol:

Why mess with perfection?

[DEFCON Creator]

Jeez, is that ALL you ever make?:lol:

It seems to be a fan favorite.

"DAMN that's ALOT of wings!!"

With 3 turkey fryers humming away, it actually doesn't take that long.

"Why mess with perfection?"

I knew I liked you.

It's not a bad thing if there's alot of company. (Which I'm sure you most definitely have!) I know if I ate that much though my a@# would burn for a month!:lol::lol:

[Sickmont]

Not too worry, grasshopper, with much, much practice soon your colon too will be as indestructible and hard like steel like mine:lol:

[DevilDuck]

What kind of sauce are you using? (joke...funny...haha...)

[rabbit]

Not too worry, grasshopper, with much, much practice soon your colon too will be as indestructible and hard like steel like mine:lol:


It seems like my mouth always handles it as well, but my lower intestines and sphincter don't seem to manage as the same LMAO!!:lol:

[P_Schneider]

Well I'm heading out of town to the folks house for the 4th so I know there will be bbq but I'm not sure what's on the menu yet. It will be good, that I know.
Have a great 4th of July everyone!

[QuadShotz]

I dunno about the 4th plans just yet, but I'm sure it will involve sirloin and nagas. ;-D

[LUCKYDOG]

Tubing - BBQ and Beers not sure what will be on the bbq part yet

[rainbowberry]

I've heard of people BBQ'ing chicken with beer cans so you've got the two main things already. I wish we had a patriotic day like that, I mean we have St. Georges Day but we might get told off for flying the flag.

[LUCKYDOG]

Beer can chicken would be great but we are doing this in one of our State Forests and I dont want to drag a big grill in I have a small portable --- It may turn out to be Kabobs and various salads and some Jooly Ham

[Canuk Pepperhead]

I love beercan chicken very easy to make and yet another reason to buy beer lol

[JayT]

Beer can chicken is one of the worlds finest creations. I cannot think of any better way to make a whole bird. In fact I have a little contraption that holds two of them in place on the grill at the same time. That's it that is what I am making for the Fourth.

[DEFCON Creator]

Mmmmmmm, beer.

[LUCKYDOG]

I could grill some chicken wings using Defcon sauces and still enjoy the beer ---

[LUCKYDOG]

I knew there was another reason I liked him besides being on the Hundred dollar bill :cool:

[chuk hell]

Doing a pork butt AND a brisket....couldn't pick just one!

[HotPeppersFlyFishing]

Chili and Chili dogs and Cocktail Shrimp(or grilled over a bon fire if someone or I get 1 going) 7/11 Nachos w/Jalapeno
and a burger from a pub.(The place we are staying at
as a fridge and a microwave so It has to be simple) :lol::lol:

[texas blues]

Ahhh yes. The salmon is marinating for the smoker. The flank is marinating in garlic soy cilantro and standing by for the grill. Mashed pots with marsala mushroom sauce is on the agenda along with grilled yellow squash and sweet thai chili coleslaw. Copious amounts of brewhaha and possibly tequila will also be atttending the soiree for just my gal and I. Fireworks later at Red Rock. As Martha would say..." it's a good thing..".
Cheers, TB.

[QuadShotz]

Well, I now have plans...

I'm going to the BB King show at a local casino, then gonna watch the massive fireworks show afterwards. w00t!!

Meanwhile, playing games online and drinking beer. :D

Have a great 4th ya'll!

*edit*

We got 7th Row tix....o0

[Hot Canuck]

T-Bones in Joe Perry's hot sauce, lobster dipped in Defcon 2, and a nice merlot...Obviously, the wife is out of town...pass me a tissue...:cry::beer:
