    Charlie, Great post, I just wanted add that I will be stealing you piping trick to refill the potatoes.

    Spinning a local bird with some local sides.

    Our local farmers market open for the first time of the year last weekend and there was a new local meat vender and I picked up a whole chicken and some thighs from them. Then today we went to the local orchard/store and got some local sugar slap peas and potatoes. So I broke out the...

    New to me 26” Weber Kettle

    Filipino Style BBQ Pork and Chicken Skewers

    About 5 mins per side right over top the coals with the lid up/off/open. Once I got a nice char on them I moved them over to the indirect side, glazed them and closed the lid. After ten minutes I flipped them and glazed the other side. About 5 to max ten minutes on the second flip on the...

    Filipino Style BBQ Pork and Chicken Skewers

    I always make sure to have a glass of good ice tea or coffee (hot or iced depending on the weather) while grilling or smoking and make a cheers to all my fellow bbqers that partake in the alcoholic beverage.

    Filipino Style BBQ Pork and Chicken Skewers

    I cut off this piece from the money muscle side of a monster size (just under 11 lbs) pork shoulder. The recipe called for 2 lbs of pork shoulder, but I think this was closer to 3 lbs. I am going to use the rest of that shoulder to make some smoked pork carnitas here this weekend. I made 1.5 the...

    Filipino Style BBQ Pork and Chicken Skewers

    I did not make the Achara, that was what Chef Tom make to with the meat in the video, but that was not something I tried. I am thinking since I will get a next attempt I may add that, what do you think? Have you ever made or had Achara? What are the sides you make when you make Filipino bbq dishes?

    Peruvian Chicken and Cajun Rice

    Oh yeah!!! I love Peruvian Chicken in the WSM. Full chimney of lit charcoal, a little smoke wood, no water pan, vents all open and let it rip! Here is a Peruvian Chicken I did on the WSM a while ago. Good luck you will love it.

    Applewood thighs and drums with the vortex

    It's funny because I find my self cooking bone in skin on chicken pieces so much more than whole chickens right now because I can make the mix of pieces that my family like most and that I can make sure I have leftovers for lunch the next day.
