Well...since this is a thread titled "share..." maybe you could share a "basic" bbq rub or recipe here for the benefit of the club that is not a club?

   Generally speaking I don't measure everything out too much it's more to taste but a basic dry rub consists of brown sugar, cracked pepper, cayenne pepper and the secret ingredient "Montreal Steak seasoning" I mix everything in a bowl with amounts proportionate to the size of the cut of meat going into the smoker and cover. If you like more fire add in more cayenne etc. Be a little judicious with the amounts of brown sugar as it can at times tend to have a drying effect on your cut of meat. Depending upon the flavor I'm going after determines if I inject the meat with southern sweet tea, apple cider or beer with some butter. I have done a honey/pineapple/cracked cayenne pepper glaze on some yard bird that turns out very nice. I will often times use oak with some soaked apple chips thrown into the mix if I have them in the smoker. I love the smell with the food. In my opinion, mesquite works best with steaks open grilled for that true Western BBQ flavor. Now on the subject of getting that nice deep smoke ring on the meat is my secret that I'll not reveal easily. If a guy doesn't know what a smoke ring is well I suppose BBQ might mean throwing some hot dogs on a grill and calling it a day.

I've been prepping for a little Dutch Oven (DO) cooking and wanted to share a few recipes that I will be tackling...very entry level stuff, which will be good!

These should be easy to bring for a camping trip, and I hope a few of you join me in the future cooking with coals...

Cowboy Stew

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion
3 potatoes
(all cans are about 15 oz.)
1 can green beans
1 can baked beans
1 can black beans
1 can tomato soup
1 can corn
1 can diced tomatoes
1 tsp Chili powder
1 tsp cayenne pepper
Salt and pepper

Preparation:

Cut potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
Dice onion.
Place dutch oven over 375 degree heat for Frying.
Brown ground beef and onion.
Add potatoes and contents of all cans, undrained.
Fill one can about half full of water and pour it between all cans to clean them out. Pour the water into the dutch oven.
Add spices (more or less if you like bland or spicy)
Reduce heat to about 225 degrees.
Simmer until potatoes are soft (about 45 minutes), stirring every 5 or 10 minutes.

Serves about 8.

This recipe came from a really cool website I have been studying over at dutchovendude.com

Of course there are others...I'll share more as I explore.

My wife and i's favorite is "steak roll ups"

Get thin steak, veggies of choice preferably long (i.e. Green onions, squash, etc)

cut the veggies into strips if necessary season to taste.

Wrap the steak around the veggies season steak to taste

Wrap steak in aluminum foil

Place steak over fire for slow cooking, or in a pan with a little water to steam or directly on light coals in the fire. Cook to desired temp (personally I am a rare kind of guy)

We like this recipe because it is so versatile and easy. We use whatever thin steak in on sale and what ever veggies are cheap. If long veggies are unavailable sub any other veggies by wrapping them in foil separately so they cook properly.

This recipe is so easy it is a go to when I do motorcycle camping. Minimal supplies to cook and you can buy exact quantities for one meal so you don't have left overs.

The one i posted on the Mojave Road forum was actually the one I use for Chicken.

Here is the actual rub I used on the tri-tip.  I t has a little more kick.

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated garlic (garlic powder works)
1/2 Cup kosher salt
1/2 cup paprika
2 Tbsp. granulated onion
1 Tbsp. dry mustard
1 Tbsp.Creole seasoning
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. ground red pepper
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. ground black pepper

Now these quantities covers the 10 lbs of meat I brought, so if you are planning to make this for the average family, cut it in thirds.  If you are feeding Celts family,  stay full sized.

First successful cobbler is in the books. Low heat from the Explorer was key to not scorching the pie filling.

The ingredients...


Prep


Coaling basket...


Mix and Sprite in...


Spun the top 1/4 turn every 15 minutes...this pic is @ 30 minutes...


And done @ 1 hour...


Tasted great with a tall glass of milk. First bite had a slight metallic taste (?) maybe from the first cook in the oven?  But otherwise excellent.

Clean up was easy with a scraper and some warm water.

trail pizza or GTFO

*it helps to have an oven*



The best White Pizza you'll ever have.

                                                              My White Pizza
 
Ingredients:
-1lb ground sausage (I get the hot stuff)
-1 box CHOPPED spinach
-1 cube pepper jack cheese
-1 bag o’ shredded mozzarella cheese
-1 Boboli crust (I get the OG thin crust…but that’s just personal preference)
 
How to:
 
Pre-heat oven to 400deg.
 
Put sausage in big pan.  Brown that shit.
 
While sausage starts to brown, put box-o-spinach *CHOPPED…UR GONNA HAVE A BAD TIME IF YOU DIDN’T GET CHOPPED* in the microwave (or a bowl in a pot about 1/2 full of boiling water) for about 5min on high.
 
Stir that sausage.  Keep it even while browning.
 
While waiting for ultimate brown-age and CHOPPED spinach, bust out the cheese grater and get to work on that pepper jack.  You can do this prior to cooking, and it would make things 1000000x easier, but who the fuck thinks of that before-hand?  Certainly not this guy…
 
Now, your sausage is done.  Nice and evenly brown.  Sweet…
 
Drain that shit.  I use a plate.  I don’t care what you use, but drain that shit.  Again.  No, seriously, again.
 
Now, *DING*, the CHOPPED spinach should be done.  Grab that ghetto ass box out of the microwave and pry it open.  It does not need to be fully cooked, to be honest.  Just enough to smoosh.  Empty box-o-spinach into ground sausage over low-ish heat.  MIX. Mix that shit like a scientist.  Blend.  Fold.  Work that spatula.  Make sure it’s even.
 
Now drain.  Again.  Yeah, it’s getting old, but trust me…it’ll be worth it.  Drain again.  Again?  You bet your ass.  Again.  As little moisture as possible…and that spinach shit brings the moisture.
 
Now, the fun really starts to pick up.
 
All that pepper jack you grated?  Nuke that sausage with that shit!  Make it rainnnn pepper jack!  ALL OF THE PEPPER JACK BELONG TO THE SAUSAGE MIX.  Blend.  Mix. Fold.  Repeat until it’s mixed evenly.
 
Drain.  Yes, I know, you’re tired of draining.  Sorry.  Do it again.  Drain.
 
Open BOBOLI thing and place crust on cutting board.  Spread sausage mix onto boboli crust; make sure it’s even-steven.  Use your spatula.
 
Now, add COPIOUS amounts of mozzarella.  Handfuls.  Wait, too much?  NO SUCH THING.  Add a little more.  Make it even.  Spread it around.  Fill in the little gaps.
 
Now, slide that bad boy into the pre-heated oven at 400deg.
 
Give it 12min.  Turn it once 180deg.
 
Another 5min.
Will serve 4-6.
 
**Warning…it’s very heavy.  One to two pieces should suffice.  It will hit you like a truck.**
