Labor Day Bbq Beef Tenderloin
Wrap a tender beef roast in garlic, rosemary, and pink peppercorns and you've got a dinner party. Hint: You can roast the garlic a day or two ahead of time while you are grilling something else.
For the paste:
1 whole head of garlic
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 beef tenderloin, 3-1/2 to 4 pounds
3 tablespoons whole pink peppercorns
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
To make the paste: Remove the loose, papery outer skin from the head of garlic. Cut about 1/2 inch off the top to expose the cloves. Place the garlic head on an 8-inch square of aluminium foil and drizzle 1 teaspoon of the olive oil over the cloves. Fold up the foil sides and seal to make a packet, leaving a little room for the expansion of steam.
Grill over Indirect Medium heat until the cloves are soft, for around 3 quarters of an hour. Remove from the grill and allow to cool. Press the garlic from the individual cloves into a small bowl. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil and mash the garlic and oil together with a fork to form a paste.
Remove the silver skin and excess fat from the beef. Generously apply the paste to the tenderloin, rubbing it into the meat.
In a mixing bowl combine the peppercorns, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well and press into the paste on the top and sides of the tenderloin.
Allow the beef to come up to room temperature for around half an hour prior to cooking.
Grill the tenderloin over Indirect medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium rare, 30 to 40 minutes.
Remove from the grill and allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. The temperature will rise 5°F to 10°F during this time. Slice the meat into 3/4- to 1-inch slices and serve warm.
This recipe makes 8 to 10 servings.

Spud Gun Ignition Help?
I built a spud gun with a 4 inch wide barrel that is 2 feet long. the barrel is 2 inches wide and 4 feet long. I hooked up the BBQ ligniter to two screws that are about 1/2 inch apart in the barrel. when i press the button it sparks but the fluid i put in there doesnt ignite. i have tried using hairspary, & WD-40.
what other things can i put in the thing that work well?
Could it be a problem that i put the ignitor in the middle of the chamber because i just watched a few more tutorials and they all put the ignitor about 2 inches from the back(where the back cap goes). i dont know how this would effect it but i was just wondering?
Use engine starter fluid --- It comes in an aerosol (spray) can......

I assume you have a brain - Right????
Be aware this stuff is hazardous ---- Just use a little bit.... Some brands come with a little plastic tube to direct the flow -- get that one..... USE A TINY BIT - NOT A LOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
