    Hurricane Sally, Gonna Be a Wild Ride

    howdy from central Alabama. It looks like we'll just get a whole load of wet dumped in our area. As I live on a hillside slope I'm not worried about myself, but I'm sending prayers up for those of y'all who're affected. Stay safe, and remember you can chill your beer with ice ;)

    first brisket

    I have a Char Griller Texas Trio with offset smoker. To keep the smoker going I need to check it every 30 to 45 minutes. I have been homeschooling my son since before it was popular, and the disruption a couple of times an hour is not good for his concentration span. I also mulled over my...

    first brisket

    technical error: not enough seasoning. Technical error: didn't cook quite long enough. So. this was another BBQ-xperiment. I smoked it for 3 hours, then cooked it in a 275F oven till it hit 203F internal. This wasn't long enough, it needed another hour in the oven. The seasoning I resolved by...

    No added sugar BBQ sauce

    Because I like a challenge, a friend asked me to come up with a no added sugar BBQ sauce. It was an interesting challenge, but I sorted it out quite quickly. I started with my own BBQ sauce recipe: http://www.addictedtocanning.com/blog/2018/05/11/bbq-sauce/ Changes to make it no added sugar...

    Best beer with pork

    A few years ago I sat down with friends, beer, and BBQ pork. We wanted to work out what was the best beer to pair with BBQ pork. We tried out American Pale Ale, IPA, stouts, and Doppelbock. The conclusion we came to - including the hard core hopheads - was that Doppelbock is the best beer to...

    THE DREADED DIABETES

    I was heading the same way, when a friend told me about keto (low carb high fat) diet. I am low carb and doing intermittent fasting, too: I don't do breakfast, I fast 16 hours of the day, and I am losing 1/2b to 1lb a week. I am not far off losing 20% of what I weighed at my worst. My friend...

    it's good to know others have taken that particular bullet for the team ;)

    Does the mustard make a difference?

    thanks all for the comments... no horseradish. I make mustard from scratch. If you want the sinus cleaning heat it's easy to do with technique, not with ingredients.

    Does the mustard make a difference?

    I took on the difficult task of testing out what difference, if any, the mustard makes to your pulled pork. I did a control, a Dijon, and a yellow mustard. The conclusion was, pretty much, "yum!" to all 3, but the Dijon was slightly more yum than the other 2, but the difference disappears when...

    Breakfast burger

    Take 1/2lb of sausage meat. Form it into a cup shape. Pin bacon around the edge with a toothpick - don't make my mistake, make sure you use thick cut bacon. Cook over direct heat for around 30 minutes until the sausage is beginning to brown. Break an egg into a ramekin and place in the cup...

    Inject or not?

    With my recent purchase of my first ever offset smoker, I deliberately decided to go basic. Brine only, no injection. I have, in the past, injected stuff into turkeys, but since starting spatchcocking them I have not bothered with injection. In addition, I am kind of keto-adjacent so I prefer...

    Polish sausage fail

    .... that sounds really good, and that quantity would probably feed at least a couple of teenage boys ;)
