Decent price on whole birds last week . Already had 2 in the freezer , but couldn't pass up a couple more .
Just spun one on the Weber a week ago , then did some BBQ legs .
So I wanted to do something different .
Decided on meatloaf . Had a general idea , but found a recipe / method on America's test kitchen website .
As always , I just use that as an idea / guideline .
Started with a whole bird .
Take the wings off for a snack later .
Remove the leg 1/4's .
Removed the breast halves ...
For this cook... I decided to combine one of my favorite barbecue meats, with a favorite side in a skillet meal. My plan was to start with some country style shoulder ribs and cook them indirect in the 250° range. Seasonings were cracked pepper, Cimarron Doc's and The Gospel.
Normally I take country ribs to a sliceable doneness, but for this dish I wrapped and went with fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
For the mac and cheese I used half & half, whipped cream cheese, smoked gouda...
Finally got a chance to run the new to me Smokefire through it's paces. Earlier today I ran it for a bit and verified it was working properly. Nothing fancy here but thought I'd share the results of my first cook on it. Four pork tenderloins rubbed with a local jerk dry rub. I used Lumberjack competition blend pellets and smoked at 200F until they hit about 85F and kicked it up to 250F. I turned them once to get the outside sealed on both sides. Pulled at 138F to let them cruise to...
It’s my 4th cook on this smoker, it’s actually a little easier than I thought it would be. Today was hot n fast brisket, mostly hovering between 275-300. Saved somewhere between 5 and 8 hours over doing 225 overnight on the pellet grill.
12 lbs, trimmed, traeger prime rib rub because I had half a can left and we need spice cabinet space. The fat was rendered in a small foil pan. Half went back to the brisket at the wrap, half saved for whatever on later cooks. Pulled around 195, 2 hour rest...

Hey all, as some of you know I recently got a new to me Weber Performer. Life as with most of us has been busy lately… so after having it for a few weeks… finally got to do my Maiden Voyage with it. The bottom grate was able to save… the top one was trashed. So ordered a new cast iron one.
Had some friends with a PR they were not going to be able to use and needed used up. So, they sent it home with us. I owe them a dinner when life slows down for them. And yes, it will be a good...
Two small pork bellies smoked this morning. Ended with a IT of 135 F.
Odena (local grocery store) in Kakabeka Falls has had small pork bellies at a pretty good price lately so I bought two and cured them over the last 15 days. Smoked pretty much for 6 hours in the bradley smoker. Dang thing is 14 years old and still going 😋
Back in the fridge over night to set & mellow over night and then slice it up tomorrow sometime.
Nothing better then homemade bacon.
It was a little rushed for time, so I ran the temps up to 285*.
Our local store had beef short ribs on sale for $5.00 a pound, and chicken thighs for but one pk get the next for free. I started to short ribs first, with S&P, ran them at 285* for about 4.5 hrs . Then added the thighs seasoned with Heath Rile's Peach Jalapeno & a little Garlic Jalapeno. Ran the thighs for 50 minutes at 285* then bumped the temps up to 400* to crisp up the skin a bit before saucing with Kinders Chipotle...
I'm smoking a couple of pork shoulders I still had in the freezer from the end of last year. Got a base layer of rub on yesterday and let them rest in the fridge over night. Then lightly dusted with a sweeter run before I got them on the smoker a little before 6am this morning.
The early morning beauty shot. 📸
We were at the market last week and turkey legs were $3.99 a pound. About a buck more than last year. The legs were big! We bought three legs at $21 and change. About 1 1/2 - 1 3/4 pounds each?
Made up a batch of Pop's brine. Cut the tendons, into the brine, and into the refrigerator for 5 days.
Pulled the legs out of brine, put in the refrigerator overnight to dry.
It's 100 degrees outside to today. Pushing 85 inside without AC. A great day to keep the cooking outside.
Into the...
