My son got me the MEATER probe for Christmas. Its initial run was chuck roast for New Year’s but things were hectic and I didn’t get a chance to post. The second run was a small round roast I made for dinner. Kinzers rub and pecan wood on the WSM and just over an hour as the snow was starting...

This was actually last week after the rain let up: Picked up 2 sirloins on bonus buy at our Giant grocery store. Seasoned them up with some SPOG and a little Worcestershire sauce, and on to the gas grill. I grilled until the “corners” of each cut hit 127 and pulled them. I’ve found 127 to be...

Had a turkey breast I wanted to smoke, and some pork belly we picked up on clearance(each about 1-1.5 lbs), so everything was smoked. The turkey was done with the rub I posted summer 2021, I think, with some apple wood in the WSM. About 5 hours in, it was ready and delicious. Now on to the...

Got two swordfish fillets on clearance and grilled them up on what’s-supposed-to-be-the-start-of-a-heatwave in central PA. Seasoned with Montreal seasoning and cooked to 135-140ish (the Mrs likes most of her fish on the more done side). My better half got the red potatoes, broccoli, and...

For our family 4th get-together, my father-in-law made shrimp and I smoked an 8lb pork butt, BUT I wanted to try something new I’ve seen others on this site do…Bologna. Picked up a smaller cut/stick, scored it, and used the same seasoning I made for the pork butt. Had it on somewhere between...

For the family New Years Eve get-together, I smoked a 7.5 turkey breast using this self-made rub recipe I found online: Smoked it in the WSM using hickory and apple for approximately 4.5 hours running around 275ish. Sorry, I only got one picture as it was a hectic day but I loved the taste...

We had a get-together with work friends this past weekend and I made some pulled pork. Picked up an almost 10 lb. picnic since porkbutts are going up in price. Put the shoulder on right before 4 pm Friday afternoon using Apple and hickory chunks on the WSM, no water in the pan (I used my home...

A restaurant/butcher in our area that we frequent (if you’re in the central PA area, check out Cabalar in Lancaster…awesome burgers) had pork cheeks for sale. I decided to pick some up and smoke them. Four pieces at about 1.25 lbs seasoned a few hours before the smoke and then on the WSM...

My wife was having her family (my in-laws) over for dinner and was making beef quesadillas. I offered to smoke the meat since we were using a top round and I haven’t smoked anything in a while. Disclaimer: my wife did most of this meal, I won’t make any bones about it. Some salt, pepper...

My father-in-law made shrimp for the family 4th get-together. Generally, I make some kind of alternative protein/meat for the non-shrimp eaters. I decided on some St. Louis ribs with no wrapping. I coated the three racks in rib rub from a local market in our area the night before. Cut the...

Got the chance to try making ribs with the 3-2-1 method today on my WSM. Seasoned them up with some rib rub and a chunk of hickory and I was off. With the July-like weather in central PA, I was constantly checking to make sure I wasn’t running hot (as I’m typing this, today might have been...

Picked up a prime rib on special discount and decided to smoke it as I had never done one before (my wife does a mean salt-encrusted prime rib and I’ve been wanting to try my smoking prowess on one). It was about 7lbs and I rubbed it down with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Fired up the WSM...

With all the shutdown crap in my state, I want to master my own wings the way I like. We picked up a bag of wings on the super cheap and today I gave it a go. Smoked the wings with a mix of apple and hickory on the WSM, no seasoning. After approximately two hours, the few wings I checked were...

My father-in-law normally does a shrimp feed for the family around the holidays and this year, our house is the meeting place. My niece also requested something smoked as well as my wife’s potato salad. Picked up a 9+ lb. picnic shoulder and tried a making a Carolina-style rub I found on the...

So I found a pack of beef ribs on clearance the other week for $3 and picked them up to try smoking them...never did beef ribs before. I also had a pack of chicken legs around and thought they might make a nice complement to the ribs so they were prepped as well. The ribs were rubbed down with...

I know there have been a fair amount of chuck roast posts lately, but when you can pick it up on clearance, you gotta go with it. Seasoned with SPOG, used some hickory chunks in the WSM, and we were off to the races. I got the smoker up around 250 with no water, and in about 2 hours, I was...

The grocery store had turkey breasts on special plus you could add a coupon...thus we were able to pick one up for $5. It’s been hot in central PA but I went for it today since the temperature is only in the low 90’s instead of near 100. The turkey was rubbed down last night, and used a mix of...

I posted last week how my father-in-law is helping me with a sizable project at our house and today was another work day. We picked up a pack of bone-in pork chops on clearance the other week and that made for a perfect meal this evening. 9 chops in the pack, many of them large. Seasoned and...

My father-in-law has been helping me fix up our three season room, and part of the deal for his help is to feed him. Today I put on some chicken thighs I picked up for pretty cheap. Half were rubbed with McCorrmick’s bbq rub and the other half were rubbed with Barnyard Dust. The thighs went...

It’s been a good while since I actually posted anything and yesterday I did a picnic shoulder so now is as good a time as any. 9 lb picnic shoulder in the WSM from 6:45 am until 8:30 pm with a mix of apple and hickory chunks. This is my second shoulder not putting anything in the water bowl and...
