Kale, cabbage, onions, mustard seed, cayenne make up the stuffing to offset the saltiness of the corned ham.  Great treat.  Merry Christmas!

It's been a long time since I posted anything on here, so I wanted to get something going. I've never cooked, nor seen a bottom round flat, but it was only 1.59/lb, so I figured I'd give it a shot!  This is a big hunk of beef (10 lbs), so I'm planning a long smoke.  I have 23 pounds of meat...

Ok, this is actually a delayed report by a week. Went to Sam's and decided to get a brisket (flat) and what the heck, picked up a chuck as well. Rubbed the chuck with salt and pepper and the brisket with some coffee, salt, pepper, paprika and cumin. Had the chuck that night. Came out nice...

My wife and I watched Bobby Flay's throwdown last night and two episodes were ribs. She told me she wants some bbq, so off to Sam's we went this morning. I grabbed a cryovac pack of spares (2.29/lb) and headed back home to get started. Trimmed two of the racks st louis style and left 1 whole...

Boy, why did I wait so long for these!? I saw some at the store on sale and decided to give it a shot. Had some cherry and hickory smoke going. I had rubbed them Sunday night with some brown sugar, cayenne, tony's and salt. Smoked them for about 4 hours or so, then put them in a glass dish...

I keep seeing all these posts about sammiches, so had to give it a shot. I got a bottom round at the store on sale and started to marinate it Friday in a bourbon, soy sauce type marinade. I rubbed it with coffee, salt, pepper, garlic, onion and chili powder. Smoked over cherry and hickory for...

I tried to sear my brisket the smokie okie way, but it seems that I did it wrong. I didn't get the nice bark like in the pictures that I've seen. I guess my grill doesn't get as hot as a wood fire. I'll try it in the fire pit next time and see how it goes. I also didn't have an aluminum pan...

I posted this last year, and thought I'd just prove that I can do this twice in two years. Short story: corned ham, kale, cabbage, celery, onions, cayenne, pepper, salt and mustard seed and one good knife. It's best served cold on some white bread with a little mayo, salt and pepper. I can't...

Reading the other day about baby backs had me thinking of them. Going to Safeway and finding them for 1.99/lb made this an easy day to plan out. My daughter had sports early this afternoon, so I didn't have much time. The alternate plan is the gas grill with a perforated smoker box on the...

Got some dinosaur ribs at a renovation closeout at our local safeway. I'm smoking them over some mesquite smoke today. These things are monstrous, so I hope they turn out ok. I'm hoping I don't dry them out. They seem to have a magnificent amount of meat on them. I plan to make stock out of...

I'm travelling next month and would love recommendations on BBQ available in the area. I love some brisket... Thanks for any tips! Jay

I haven't posted in a while but I haven't smoked anything exciting lately except butts and ribs, etc. I did a brisket last week and it was awesome, so my wife asked me to smoke one tonight. I'm off this week. Ok, we went to Sam's and picked up a brisket and it's now on the smoker with some...

We're having company over tomorrow afternoon, so I just threw in a butt and a 7lb brisket. I'm trying the piedmont pan method where I don't use water in the water pan, but use a aluminum foil "buffer" to trap some of the heat. This technique is supposed to use less fuel and help maintain...

I had to share our holiday tradition since most of you seem to appreciate food as much as me. In Southern MD, where I'm from, stuffed ham is a holiday delicacy. One crop in particular, kale, is a staple in this recipe as it's generally available at this time of year and is sought after...

I brined the bird from Friday to Sunday in salt, sugar, soy sauce, garlic and rosemary. Unfortunately, the bird was still largely frozen when I got home on Sunday, but I made do anyhow. I heated the smoker to 225-250 and got to smoking. I smoked it for about 6 hours over hickory, then after...

I'll never not brine again. This was hands down the best chicken I've done to date. It was stupid juicy and my wife was even very complimentary about it being so good. I brined about a 5 lb bird with water, sugar, kosher salt, etc per another recent post. I let it sit overnight and started...

I've been busy recently and haven't had a chance to smoke anything (except some chicken thighs which I pulled and used mustard sauce to make perfect. awesome). I stopped by the butcher shop while I was out today because I couldn't resist my smoker any longer! I've rubbed my ribs down and will...

My brother's birthday is tomorrow, so my job is to smoke two butt for some pulled pork samiches. I decided to also smoke some italian sausage to freeze for my next batch of chili. Those got done, so I decided to smoke a fatty. Couldn't think of what to cook for dinner, so I grabbed the...

After reading a whole bunch of stuff on here, I decided to throw a brisket on the smoker yesterday afternoon after trying to catch some fish. (it didn't work) I threw some kosher salt and pepper on the brisket and dropped it on the grates over some hickory and lump charcoal in my vertical...

Sometimes it works out well. I'm calling yesterday a success even though I cooked them a little beyond what they needed and they dried out the slightest bit. The bourbon marinade (36 hours) tenderized them so well though that the extra heat didn't ruin them. I cooked them to about 180 and I...
