    Coq au Vine

    Was rereading Marianski in my free time with the missus working in NYC for half the week now, and he inspired me to come up with my "own" sausage recipe. So I got to rummaging in the freezer and saw some ringneck pleasant breasts and thighs, which we eat a lot of because it's pretty easy to...

    A few wood fired pizzas

    That 'Da Bomb' sauce is liquid heat. My old lady adds a drop (and i literally mean 1 drop) when she wants to make a dish very spicy. I think it's bitter and a gimmick, but glad to see someone enjoys it!

    Too clean of a fire?

    I definitely don't think it's an issue with the size of the wood. I use splits larger than 2" diameter, but they're not much larger and ive never had a problem. I also throw much, much smaller pieces onto my charcoal in my kettle when doing steaks for a touch of smoke and that small amount is...

    Mighty Bite Grinder

    Congrats on your new grinder! You will find your life much easier with it than with the Kitchen Aid attachment. Keep everything extremely cold and don't over feed the grinder and you'll be fine.

    Capturing Rendered fat

    I do the same, but when I saw the grate I felt like too much charcoal would fall through it. I'll give it a shot next time. Ive had no issues with the fire getting enough air, but if it makes things run better Im all for it

    Capturing Rendered fat

    Interesting that you use the grate in the firebox. I think the very first thing i did was take it out. Are you using charcoal to get your coal bed established or do you build a stacked pyre every time?

    Looking for banana pepper ideas

    Truly a must visit for anyone, in my opinion. They keep the pepper shooters in the deli case. I had had them before ever visiting and had to ask when I was there because I couldn't find them. You won't be disappointed!

    Looking for banana pepper ideas

    Chef Jimmy kinda touched on it, but in the strip district of Pittsburgh they have a wonderful place, PennMac, which has the most delightful "pepper shooters". Banana peppers+provolone+prosciutto then soaked in a truly delicious oil. Extremely tasty. Ive also had them stuffed with a spicy pork...

    My wife was hungry for turkey so I told her I'd cook up the longbeard i killed this spring for dinner. With the arrival of my Santa Maria attachment there was truly no other way i would want to cook it. So into A super simple salt/brown sugar brine the breasts went! Post brine i just dusted it...

    The old man and I think we're gonna end up about 3 cord once it is all split and ranked. To buy just oak around here is roughly 125+ for a half cord. Thanks for all the kind words gents! Now it's time to burn some for the big weekend!

    Responded to a FB Marketplace claiming "Free Wood" with the stipulation that it just needed cut and taken away. In the pics the fella provided, red oak! I couldn't believe the good fortune. Free oak when my pile had maybe one cook left in it! Flash forward to me meeting with the gentleman. The...
