    Smoked Tuscan Chicken

    I made this for my wife a year or so ago and since then it has become a staple in our house. I've made this a couple ways. The first time I did it, I simply followed a recipe for Tuscan Chicken. Then I decided to kick it up and smoke the chicken first. I'll capture some pictures next time I...

    My take on grilled cabbage

    I've seen a few grilled cabbages around, but this is the way I do it. Enjoy! 1. Core the cabbage, reserve the core because you'll need to reseal the core. 2. 2 cubes of beef bullion, in the hole. 3. Fill remainder of the hole with butter that has been creamed with salt and pepper. 4. Cut the...

    First try Pop's Brine Canadian Bacon

    Whelp, I found a deal on a 10 lb pork loin at SAMs. Decided it was about time I gave Canadian bacon the ole college try. I added some maple syrup for flavor, so it's a bit brown. I also used a vacuum bag. Not sure how that'll work out, but if anyone has any advice about it, please feel free to...

    Where to buy Morton Smoke Flavored Sugar Cure

    I've checked the Morton website, but they don't just list the stores, you have to enter a zip code and hope there's a location within 50 miles. I have entered a plethera of zip codes in and around myself, and even friends and family members hoping to hit on a sales location, but no dice. If...

    Meat-a-tarian

    Was in line getting groceries at the local H-E-B and had several meat items in my basket and not a single vegetable.  The checker looked at me funny and my son who is 10 years old noticed, so he says to the checker, "What's wrong, haven't you ever seen a "Meat-a-tarian" before?" I just about...

    Graduation Smoke

    So my son, the 'graduate' asked for smoked ribs and brisket for his grad party.  How could I refuse? I fired up the smoker and away we go! Yes, that's ribs in front and Brisket in back.  I need a bigger smoker.  I've told "She Who Must Be Obeyed", but I think I'm gonna have to get out the...

    Sunday Q

    Built a nice hickory and mesquite fire this morning and didn't want it to go to waste, so I thought I'd throw on some beef ribs and a small trimmed brisket. I usually like to smoke a full packer brisket, but since it's just going for sammies and nothing else, I decided to get just the flat this...

    I couldn't wait... I stayed home from work today to smoke meat.

    I made up a batch of Jeff's rub and put it on loin chops last night and simply tossed them in the oven.  They were great.  So I was going to use the remainder of the loin and smoke it this weekend when I had some time. Instead, I took the day off work.  Here's the Before: I'll post the rest...

    Pork Loin - Rub a dub dub...

    Didn't have time to smoke anything tonight, but wanted a little of that 'flavor'...  So I mixed up a batch of Jeff's rib rub and sprinkled liberally on some loin I'd sliced into chops about 1/2 in thick and then simply tossed them in the oven for a little bit on 400dF. Wammo; Bang; Pow; Smack...

    Cold Smoking Mod

    So I have the Master Forge propane smoker from Lowes.  I've been smoking cheese in it, but recently the temp got too high and I had a mess to clean up. I decided better late than never to MOD my smoker.  Haven't figured out if I'm gonna leave the MOD hooked up all the time and just use the...

    Jeff's Recipe...

    Just went ahead and bought the recipes for Rub and Sauce.  Not sure what I expected, but this seems simple enough.  Can't wait to try it.  Going to smoke something this weekend since it's Easter and we're staying home for the first time in many years. BTW from one Okie to another...  Thanks Jeff!

    Perfect Weather...

    We had the best weather today for smoking cheese.  It never reached 80 and the wind was just enough to keep the tube smoker flowing perfectly. While I was smoking the cheese, I made some teriyaki wings to snack on.  I know they're not smoked, but I figured while I was taking pictures, I'd just...

    SuperBowl Brisket Smoke...

    Got up about 8AM today and started the ole stick burner up.  We were going to do wings today, but my wife had other ideas and bought a trimmed brisket.  Now, usually, I smoke a packer brisket so as to get all the juice from the fat to make us some gravy, au jus, etc...  But hey, I'll live...

    Smoked Cheese for Christmas...

    So I decided to smoke cheese for Christmas presents because a cousin told me that if she didn't get some, I was going to have a much shorter lifespan that I have planned... To that end, I went out and found some cheeses for sale and the local SAMs Club and proceeded to fill the AMNTS with...

    Saturday Brisket

    Decided to replace my old offset smoker I got from wal-mart a few years ago with something slightly more substantial.  I still want a Jambo, but until I can afford to either buy or build one, I will make do with this one from the local grocery store.  H-E-B owns 'Sear 'n Smoke' brand cookers...
