    Memorial Day Weekend Hat Trick

    So I’ve been on a tear. I started with a small picnic and sausage poppers. Yesterday, was chicken thighs and smoked brats w/ mustard sauce. That got me into a South Carolina mood. So today, we’re doing ribs with mustard sauce. I was able to score a rack of back ribs from piggly wiggly. Not...

    Mother’s Day Tenderloin and Kielbasa

    Mrs P said she wanted something from the grill for her special dinner today. “You mean I have to sit outside drinking beer and pitching wood in the smoker for Mother’s Day? OK!!” Anyway, since fresh meat has been pretty hard to come by here in north Mississippi, tenderloin was what I had. No...

    hat is the best way to reheat a chicken?

    So, I got a late start on my smoke yesterday and by the time it was already a few beers into the big game. The wife and had zero interest in sitting down for dinner so I sliced the sausage for a munchie plate and popped the whole bird into the fridge. Kind of a shame as it came out perfect but...

    First Paper Smoke w/Q-View

    So there is a flavor with foil that I have really started disliking. The last few racks of ribs that I've done, I've skipped the foil and have been pretty pleased. But what to do for long smokes? Typically for a long smoke, I'll run a wood fire for about six hours and then I'll wrap the meat in...

    Diner Coffee

    So my wife has an interview in the city today. We don't get up here that often and she was a little nervous about driving downtown not knowing her way around. So I offered to drive her and I'm sitting at a little breakfast diner waiting for her to finish. Now I'm a coffee drinker through and...

    Golden Drumsticks W/Q-View

    So I've been deciding between whether to try roadside chicken or dirt sailors Carolina gold wings. Carolina won out! Yesterday was a long, painful day capping off a long painful week of trying to get things done outside before supposed storms that are being promised. Yesterday and the day...

    Mmm Pork Tenderloin And Shrimp Poppers

    Well it was a scramble but well worth it. The plan was to get up, do my chores like a good boy, and then spend the rest of the afternoon smoking meat and drinking beer. After I got everything done my wife asked if I would fire up the burn barrel. Sure, no problem I thought. Well the only wood I...

    Baby Back Experiment

    So one of the casualties in my quest to master the pit has been my taste for pork. I'm fairly sensitive to rich foods anyway and after countless shoulders and slabs of ribs I have found myself looking for something a little more balanced than the typical sweet presentations that I have worked so...

    Anyone Know What kind Of Tree This Is?

    I have a ton of these growing around the house. This one appears to be dying but there's 4-5 more growing on this hill that need to be cleared. If I can smoke with them I'll be good for years.

    Where the South Carolina Peeps At??

    Ok so my doctor wants me to cut out starches and sugars. BBQ is ok but no bun, no sugary sauce or rubs. Doesn't have to be forever just long enough for it to not be a regular part of my diet. But before I jump into that I want a good pork shoulder with mustard sauce and hash and rice. Problem...

    Seems Like Everyone Is Smoking Chucks Today

    And so am I. Picked up a two pack of chuckles at Costco the other day and decided to smoke one today. I've really been craving beef and briskets are still ridiculously priced right now so it seemed like a good time to try smokin a. Chuck. I rubbed it down with some SPOG I had leftover from pork...

    The Best BBQ In Memphis

    Ok so I don't have a definitive answer on that one. Central BBQ on Central Ave in midtown (don't know about the other locations) is pretty good and I've heard of a few others but haven't tried them yet. But the consensus from everyone I know here, it's not the 'Vous Although it's not...
