    3rd time's the charm

    Thanks. Forgot to take a pic of them cut up, I'll make sure to do so next time. Next up will be a prime rib roast I think. Need to do as much as I can before winter hits, not that it's excessively cold here but cold enough.

    3rd time's the charm

    This was my 3rd smoke, 1st was pork ribs, very good but I was running a bit too hot and the coals ran out to boot, so I know they could have been better. 2nd was a spatchcock chicken that left a fair bit to be desired. This beef rib smoke came out perfect, smoked for about 6 hours at a very...

    Spachcock chicken good, not great

    Well I smoked my first chicken yesterday, looked great, tasted great but lost points for a general lack of juiciness. It wasn't really dry but compared to the rotiserrie chicken I make on my grill with the rear burner, it fell far short. It took 2 hours to get the internal temp right, and at the...

    Gave it a try

    They made an excellent mid afternoon snack. Since it was my first try I thought I'd play it safe and not count on it for dinner but as it turns out they were just fine. A bit too much Cumin flavour coming through for my liking, I don't usually use Cumin so I will cut that back a bit for the next...
