1st Comp

A couple weekends ago my buddy and I (SuWheeQ) entered our 1st competition. The Granite state BBQ competition. First off I wanna thank any of the teams that might be on this site for being so friendly and helping out some new comers. Its a wonderful community and we will pass on the help as we continue. We use all of our own rubs and sauce so we were most curious how our flavor profiles would come out. Learned alot. Had a blast. Made some silly 1st time mistakes that I know we will fix...
Tri Tip on my new kettle

My wife got me an off-brand copy of the 22.5" Weber kettle for father's day. Still have a couple issues to resolve with customer service but it's much more serviceable than my 19 year old Weber 18" kettle. I'm cooking Tri Tip for the company picnic this Saturday and wanted to refine my recipe before cooking for 54 adults and 23 kids. I want them rubbed 4 hours before hand but I only had 2 tonight. Rub = 2 tsp salt 2 tsp CBP 2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp...
My 1st Competition is over with...

Competed in my 1st ever competition this past weekend at the Almost Heaven BBQ Bash in Weston, WV. I competed in the backyard competition as well as the Peoples Choice pulled pork and the Chicken Wing contest. For my first time competing, I honestly felt pretty good. I did not forget to pack anything, our setup was great, and I was proud of the meats I turned in considering I was using a smoker I had very little experience on. (Sling-n-Steel Gameday) Pulled Pork - No clue where we finished...
Nice Hog cook for father's day on the WSM 22.5

I'm the dad but as we all know, the best day we can think of is cooking as much as possible. Cooking up a 7lb boneless butt split in two from Costco and 3 racks of spares. Seasoned the butts up last night with a simple SPOG/paprika/slap ya mama/ brown sugar and vac sealed em just to keep fridge from reeking and maybe help the salt get a little deeper into em. Got the WSM 22 roaring at 6 and butts on by 7, and I try to cook about 240-270° so should be good to pull by 4 or 5. Haven't wrapped...
Candied Bacon

Got Jeff's email recipe for candied bacon this past week and decided that it was time to give it a try. 3 Lb's Wrights thick cut Hickory smoked bacon, walmarts pure Maple syrup, Big Rons "in da house" rub, Char Griller Akorn, and Dark brown sugar. I think that completes the elements list. Wet the bacon with syrup and sprinkled with rub, let it marinate overnight in the fridge. Preheated the Akorn to 225* and started the bacon, Smoked for an hour, (Hickory chunks. Love Hickory and...
Father’s Day Ribs

Woke up and ribs were calling me saying, “father’s day dinner, father’s day dinner, father’s day dinner”. So who was I to fight destiny and say no? Veal ribs on the big joe And cut up ready to eat. After ~6hrs at 225-230, tender and ready to eat.
Dried Venison Backstraps ( Bears Recipe)

The loins have been curing for eight days so today it’s time to get things going. The loins aren’t super thick as they came from a doe. They were rinsed off and dried off the best I could. They will sit in the fridge till Friday afternoon uncovered till they are smoked. They are definitely cured all the way through and the taste test went well with no salty taste. They will be smoked on my pellet grill but the lowest it will go is 178-180 degrees. My question is should they be seasoned now...
Going to try my first brisket today

With some urging from my wife, who loves brisket, I've decided to take brisket with my second smoke. I'm going to try a whole brisket and make burnt ends with the point. Any suggestions or tips? I'll post some photos of how it goes.
Doing to cooks today

The first one is lamb ribs.. I set up my 22 WSM like a drum smoker . Just using the top rack.
Stuffed Pork Tenderloin 2 ways

Happy Sunday everyone. Decided to smoke up a couple of pork tenderloins. Since they come two to a pack, I thought I would stuff each one a bit different. Pork Tenderloin #1 I butterflied the tenderloin and stuffed it with a blend of Mushroom, Onion, Spinach, Garlic, and Feta Cheese. I saute'd the shrooms, onions, and spinach. After letting it cool, I added the garlic and pulsed it a few times in the food processor. Then spread the mixture on to the tenderloin. Tossing the feta in last...
