    Use Kroger coupons and coupons from the Kroger family of stores from nation wide weekly ad digital coupons at your local Kroger

    My man. I'm not surprised that we have a few members from this area. BBQ is huge down here.

    I'm 45 minutes northeast of it, but it's the closest general city. I have read you're around here, too!

    It's slim pickins in the Memphis, TN area this week. The best digital coupon is for Wright Brand bacon at $6.99/lb. 😭

    good Golly Memorial day already

    I appreciate the sentiment, but I'm a small fish in a big pond. That week has always been wild & goes by in a blur. You do get to chat with a lot of cool folks & skilled head cooks. I'm just looking forward to getting back to some backyard BBQ for the rest of the year. Going to smoke some...

    good Golly Memorial day already

    It was fun. Just the big one they put on at Memphis in May each year. My team competes in shoulder & we did okay. Middle of the pack. Would have preferred to do better. Overall, I had a really fun time at the event & I always love catching up with old friends around town.

    good Golly Memorial day already

    I'm planning on relaxing after a BBQ competition last week/end. Going to cook a few butts for friends & family. If they are willing to pay for the meat, I'm willing to provide free labor for holidays like this.

    I got lucky & a friend of mine snagged two briskets at $2.99/lb from a Kroger bin in this area. Not sure why they were so cheap.

    Some vortex thighs

    Those are some good looking thighs. I love the Vortex so much for chicken. It's a great tool!

    Beef Plate Ribs

    I smoked 2 yesterday. After the smoker was rolling I sat down with a Nub Cameroon & a cup of joe. After the cook was done and we were sitting by the pool, I lit up a Davidoff Aniversario No. 3.

    Beef Plate Ribs

    I found some beef plate ribs on sale a while back & could not pass on grabbing them. Four 3-bone racks, making weighing almost 23 lb. total! Coated them with salt, pepper, & garlic the night before, using hot sauce as a binder. Smoked them at 275F for 8 hours in my Louisiana Grills 7 Series with...

    Took a small hiatus from the internet, but did not stop cooking. Not quite the novice I was back when I started, but there is always more to learn. I'll forever be a student of the BBQ.

    No flip burgers

    Wow, that looks amazing. What a feast! I bet any guests were extremely happy.

    Smoked Wings

    It's a rub that my competition team makes. It's low salt, slightly sweet with a touch of heat at the end. Very good, if I do say so. Not as crispy as when I do them on the vortex. Running the smoker at 275F does prevent the skin from getting rubbery.

    Smoked Wings

    I normally use my Vortex for wings, but this weekend I tested em out on my "new" pellet smoker. It was very good & very tasty. I'm still getting used to the concept of using the smoke setting before actually turning the temp up, but the pellet smoker's ease of use means I can cook some meat more...

    Pellet Smoker Bland Compared to old WSM

    I was recently gifted a Louisiana Grill 7 series pellet smoker & I have actually had good results with the smoke. I have been buying a very high quality pellet produced in this region, and that may have something to do with it. It definitely isn't perfect compared to my WSM, but I have been...

    Making the most of a Boston Butt.

    When we carve up animals we use a bandsaw for stuff like this. Just have to rinse off the bone fragments afterwards.

    What Are Y'all Doing?

    I have a few shops/grocers I'll visit & watch for sales. I find myself being extra picky about prices when looking for meat now. Unfortunately where I live baby back ribs are high in demand & never go on sale. I've started cooking spare ribs instead & haven't been bummed. We have a place called...

    Tennessee Gathering April 30-May 2

    I'm not sure yet. Currently house hunting which is... chaotic, to say the least. I shall know more by the week of the event. If I do come, I'll probably camp out in a tent.
