Cooled Off Here

[Geezer]

The temperatures have plunged into the mid-80's. So, since it's cooled off I thought a big ol' pot of beef stew would be in order. 3 pounds of chuck roast, taters, onions, carrots, bell and banana peppers, and V8 juice. Slow simmer for a while, wife will fix a pot of rice, should be good.

That looks good.

I am taking avantage of the cooler air and firing up the canner. Watermelon rind preserves and tomato sauce going in.

Coming along nicely. We had a little storm/rain shower but the grill was under the trees and didn't slow things down any. Can you smell it? It smells good.

About 70 and breezy in the mountains today. Absolutely awesome. Just had 2 deer come to within about 60' of the house. Handgun range they were! Just doing a small butt today as I am flying solo this weekend.

All done!

@Geezer How long on the stew? I have the same dutch oven and need to give that a try?

 

[Geezer]

@skiles, I cook it indirect using the snake method keeping the temp around 275. I cook for about 3 hours. It can come off a little sooner but I like it to thicken up some. It's very easy to make and tastes great.

Does your wife like the 'snake method'?

You are certainly a Weber Kettle pro. You and Wahoo should have a cooking show.

Hahahaha She likes anything that she doesn't have to cook.
