    They left us their Blackstone!

    Get some frozen hash brown patties at Walmart. Put down some Bacon-up and cook them. Use bacon bits (I make my own) and after the hash browns are done put bacon and shredded cheese on them. Shut off the burners and cover with a dome for a few minutes to melt the cheese. That my friend is...

    Anyone ever try Beaumont style beef links?

    Lived in Port Arthur for 19 years. One of the few things I miss from the area. They are excellent.

    Thanksgiving Turkey-2023

    Turned out very well. Forgot to take a pic before I started carving. This will have to do. Ended up cooking 7:15.

    Thanksgiving Turkey-2023

    Spatchcock turkey on the pit. 24 hours in a brine of kosher salt and brown sugar. Rubbed last night with Meat Church Honey Hog. Hit the pit about 6. Low and slow. 210-220. Taking the IT to around 170. Guessing somewhere around 6-7 hours. Gonna use a bourbon/maple glaze at the the end...

    Yes Beef Ribs and Potato Roses with Poppy seed slaw

    I'm definitely going to do those potatoes. Those look really good.

    St. Louis Ribs in College Station.

    Well, my company showed up and like a pack of ravenous wolves devoured the ribs before I could snap a pic. I throw myself on the mercy of the board and pledge to do better. Judging by the pile of gnawed bones I think they turned out pretty well.

    St. Louis Ribs in College Station.

    My favorite for pork is still Honey Hog. Ace was out the other day and I had to improvise. I think the Texas Sugar is fairly new. It is probably the closest to Honey Hog. I'm using up this mix I made then I'll probably go back to my old standby.

    St. Louis Ribs in College Station.

    Got some family coming to town for my FIL's 90th. Still in great shape and sharp as a tack. Grabbed some St. Louis ribs. Sweet Baby Ray's for the binder. Mixture of Meat Church Texas Sugar and Holy Voodoo for the rub. I'll get them on pit here in a little bit. More pics to follow.

    First Pizza Cook

    Sarah and I got a Solo Stove Pi Pizza Oven this week. Today was the inaugural cook. Mixed reviews. First off I’ve never made pizza before. I had some leftover pulled pork so decided to do a BBQ pork pizza. Used Sweet Baby Ray’s as the sauce, pork, and mozzarella cheese. Sarah went with her...

    First post and seeking advice

    I cooked on an offset for 40 years. Was gifted a Traeger and never went back to the offset. There was a learning curve but the convenience of not having to tend a fire all night was just too good to pass up for this old dinosaur. Granted there is a lighter smoke but I remedy that by throwing...

    What kind of peppers are these?

    No, but I will now. I'll try to dig out the recipe for the Mango Habanero sauce. I don't make it often and have to refresh my memory on how.
