    Swine apples are in season!

    I finally had all the ingredients come together to undertake this adventure. At 06:30 an 8 pound pork butt went in the smoke as the main ingredient. I knew I would be tight on time later, so I split it in half for faster cooking. It was perfect at 14:00, so I let it rest and prepared the 3...

    Any Yoder YS640 owners on here?

    I am tired of fussing with cheap pellet grills! As soon as this rona thing is over I am looking to upgrade and do NOT want a smoker with a center burn pot. If any of you have a Yoder, I would love to hear any input, either good or bad.

    Corned beef pastrami

    Caught some corned beef flats on sale and decided I need some smoked Pastrami. It soaked in cold water for 4 hours with a couple of water changes to leach out some of the salt, then a good coat of coarse blavk pepper and into the smoke at 275 it went! At 3 hours it was at 165, so I put it in a...

    Creative cooking. Brisket beef stew

    I smoked a Texas style brisket a couple days ago and as usual, had lots of it left over. I usually vac seal and freeze it for meals later, but with the chilly weather, I was ready for some soup or stew. I prefer to cube the beef, toss in seasoned flour, then brown really well in a skillet, but...

    Beef stew comfort food

    Not smoked, but still mighty darned tasty! I recently stocked up on beef while it was on sale, so thawed out a hunk of ball roast and diced it up for stew. Pretty much just old fashioned stew without a bunch of modern additions. Just meat, potatoes, onions and a few carrots. I made a big pan of...

    Beef and noodles. Good stuff!!!!

    A local market got a new name and ran a heckuva sale this week! They advertised arm roasts for $2.69 per pound, so i decided i needed to put some in the freezer! I stopped yesterday and asked them to cut me one about 12 pounds or so and I would pick it up today. It has some waste, but not a...

    Bacon wrapped pork loin fingers

    Experiments today. One edible, one not

    The smoked spam I make is darned good, but the center of the loaf needs rub. I thought I would try some Spam "steaks" today while smoking other things and they had too much of a good thing! I sliced them about 1/2 inch thick, lightly rubbed with yellow mustard, then lightly sprinkled rib rub...

    Spam! It's what's for dinner!

    With a side of spareribs:-) Sometimes I score a couple cans of Spam, rub it with yellow mustard, coat liberally with rib rub and smoke while doing other meats. This stuff is unbelievably good!

    Pork belly burnt ends.....on a stick!

    I finally decided to try making PBBE's, but with a twist or two. After they had good color and bark, I panned them with a few pats of butter and stirred to coat evenly. I then added 1/4 cup of honey to 3/4 cup of Jeff's bbq sauce and coated the chunks. I covered in foil and put back in the...

    Quickie meatloaf

    I had just enough time yesterday to smoke a meatloaf, so fired up the GMG and mixed up the ingredients. I had about a pound and a half of 90/10 ground beef, so used that with a simple loaf. I hate celery and bell pepper, so only put in onion, salt and pepper, crackers, egg and a splash of milk...

    Belly buster Brisket! With Q view

    One of the best I have made on the GMG! The new thermal sensor made a big difference in the way it cooks, so i suspect the original was wacky from day one. I had been disappointed in the results of long cooks, so mosty did pork steaks and such in it. When i did brisket or butts, i started them...

    GMG Daniel Boone issue. Anyone experencied this?

    I was smoking two butts last weekend and mowing the yard at the same time. The pellet grill ran out of pellets just minutes before I checked on it, but fortunately the butts were done. I refilled the hopper and allowed it to cool down, but wanted to restart it so it would be ready for the next...

    Brisket as repayment for a favor

    Been having some plumbing issues lately that my neighbor volunteered to help me fix. It turned into a nightmare as the more things we fixed, the more problems we found that were largely due to shoddy installation when the house was built. Too many 90 degree elbows, drains with uphill slope...

    Chuck tender experiment in the pellet grill. Success!

    I have been very disappointed in the flavor of meats smoked in the pellet pooper, even with the addition of a pellet tube. I thawed out a chuck tender to smoke today and decided to experiment a bit. I started about a dozen RO briquettes and added two small splits of my dwindling stash of...

    Had a friend get me a brisket from his food service that he uses for his restaurant and it is by far the best looking brisket I have ever bought anywhere! These folks specialize in premium aged Angus beef, so was anxious to try one of them. No way this went in the pellet pooper! Salt and...

    Bacon wrapped Pork loin fingers on the GMG.

    This was actually the third batch I have smoked recently, but it has been a learning process and this batch was the best to date. I cut the loin in about 4 inch sections, then cut each section into 4 "fingers", wrap each in a slice of medium thick bacon, then slide them on a bamboo skewer and...
