Fryday

Actually it was a day of roasting.  
I may be leaving Atlanta earlier than I had anticipated and I have no return date. I have Burning Man to attend which is on the West Coast, sort of. 

And then I have a couple of job offers in Los Angeles. I am hoping to find a conversion van that I can drive from Atlanta to BM and from there drive to California and do some set dressing while having a place to stay. My last trip's Airbnb foray was somewhat of a comical disaster but that is another story altogether. 

Getting back to my culinary adventure; there was a pot roast in the freezer. I felt like getting some more milage out of the infamous Green Egg so filled it full of fuel and started getting it ready.

My timing was a bit off and I realized by the time the smoker would be ready it would be dinner time and I'd just be putting on the main course which would then take a few more hours to cook. 

I ended up making an inferno in the Green Egg which sent the temperature beyond the 800F on the thermometer gauge. The ideal temperature for my endeavor was around 200F. 

Ooops....

I was suddenly trying to cool down this ceramic beast to the tune of 600 degrees. 

I managed to get it down to around 300F more or less which I felt was quite an accomplishment. 

So I put the hunk of meat on and decided to let fate have it's way. 

Skye came to the rescue again suggesting I check on the roast even though it should have taken a couple more hours had I been cooking at the correct temp which I wasn't. 

It was indeed done....very well done.

I like my red meat medium rare, leaning towards rare. So this was an unfortunate end result to say the least. 
After cutting off a good deal of charcoal-looking inedible meat, I was left with a baggie full of sliced pot roast. 

This debacle couple with some other engagements that I didn't meet for a variety of reasons was the reason why I ended up skipping yesterdays blog. 

So here it is, a day late but not necessarily a dollar short.
