    Moving to Idaho! (Anyone familiar with Grand Cafe and Blaze gas grills/griddles?)

    I'm a native of southern Idaho. I left for college, then grad school, then work...always trying to get back home, and before I knew it, I'd spent my entire professional career in NJ. Only now that I'm retired can I get back home. My loving NJ-native wife was never a fan of the high desert and...

    Smoking in the PNW.

    Welcome! From NJ at the moment, but just weeks away my return to the Pacific Northwest. I’ve really gotta find time to start a thread about that…

    Chicken wings and fast recipies

    Not many things can be done in under an hour. We do like smoked olives (you can add your favorite seasoning to a bit of olive oil, coat the olives, and smoke till you like the taste. Always under an hour for us. Smoked mixed nuts are generally less than an hour; mist lightly with water...

    What are you watching ?

    On June 6 I finally got around to watching Band of Brothers. I’m getting through about two episodes a day. It’s very good, though I suspect most of you already knew that.

    Sams club versus Costco

    I've had memberships at both, and was happy with both, but Sam's Club was 20 years ago (I moved; no longer have one close by) and I'm currently a Costco customer. I can't make a head-to-head comparison based on recent experience. But, it usually works to go in the exit door, tell the checker...

    Sunday prime rib

    Another day, another cook. We're prepping for a cross-country move late this month (I should probably post about that), and I've got a chest freezer full of meat to use up. Prime rib today! The rub was a paste I made using a Memphis rib dry rub as the base, with a lot of minced garlic, minced...

    Apple-stuffed pork loin

    For you, I have added a cut shot! We had over half of the loin left over yesterday, so yummy leftovers today and a second chance to get a photo. The loin was butterflied and stuffed to within 3/4" of the uncut side, but it looks like the apple filling kinda shimmied towards the cut side when...

    Apple-stuffed pork loin

    This was a fairly simple cook, and we're pleased with how it turned out. It was inspired by a @TulsaJeff recipe: https://www.smoking-meat.com/june-14-2012-smoked-pork-loin I butterflied a 2.5 lb pork loin, coated it lightly with a favorite pork rub, then filled the inside with just over half a...

    Beef ribs that trimmed off my last rib roast.

    You'd wait until it made it to the cutting board? You have better self control than I.

    Best Cleaner for Wood Tannin Stains on Concrete?

    Why the rock salt? Salt damages concrete over time, I'd think just sand, then the leveling sealer, would do the job.

    Over Night Cook Fails

    I do something similar, but since I'm using a WSM I set my alarm for 2 1/2 or 3 hours...I get through the night only having to wake up twice. And for overnight cooks, I sleep on the couch in the sunroom, about 8' away from the smoker on the deck, so I don't have far to go. I do have temp probe...

    Burning that ole skunk.....

    I worked on a neighbor's ranch through high school and the first couple of summers of college. I still remember the day the foreman ran a skunk through the baler. The skunk had apparently been hiding in the windrow, and got picked up with the hay. The bad bale was hauled out to the back 40...

    Updated w/Erickson Collection (P-51, B17, Corsair, Skyraider…)-Living Air Museum-Historic Aircraft ….Spruce Goose, SR-71, F-117, & C47A D-Day Flyer

    I heard one of the pilots of the final SR-71 flight speak at Oshkosh Airventure last year. Before the plane was donated to the Smithsonian Institution in 1990, the Air Force got permission for a supersonic speed record attempt across the US--Los Angeles to Washington DC. They took off from...

    Osso buco

    So this isn't a BBQ cook, but I'd won some osso buco shanks from Porter Road as part of a throwdown prize package, so there is a connection. I'd never even had osso buco in a restaurant, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I pretty much followed a well-reviewed recipe from the internet, and as a...

    Happy National BBQ Day

    Grillin' a ribeye tonight, though that's just coincidental. How is it that National BBQ Day wasn't fixed to a specific day (third Saturday in May, for example) rather than a date, which allows it to crop up on weekdays when fewer people can celebrate it appropriately?

    Smoking in the rain

    Don't get me wrong, I really like my WSM. It checks all the boxes for me; reasonably inexpensive, charcoal fired with wood chunks for smoke, doesn't need a lot of attention during the smoke (on overnight cooks I only look in on it every 3-4 hours, though I do also use a temp probe with alarm...

    Smoking in the rain

    Yep. Rain will enter the smoker and pool in the bottom, which can lead to some impressive mold growth if it isn't dried out promptly after it gets wet. Keep a very waterproof cover over it when it isn't in use. The Weber covers may need to be replaced every few years, mine have started...
