    Publix rib sale.

    check your sales papers if you have Publix. They have their unbranded Publix St Louis and baby backs on Bogo. They are frozen, so you can't feel them up. I got two nice thick slabs for $20.00 YMMV John3

    a "little" kettle upgrade

    just few years ago I always said "I've got a WSM and that's all I need. Then I started hanging our here. Finally broke down and got a 22" Kettle. didn't take long to figure out I need grate with hinged edges. I am the ultimate tightwad, so I bought a knockoff grate with hinges off of amazon. it...

    I intended on making party ribs.

    after reading SmokinAl's post last week I wanted to give it a shot. I can't find decent ribs down here that aren't sky high. Found a slab of St Louis ribs at the Latin grocery. They were still $3.99/lb. No brand name. Hey looked fairly straight through the cryo-pack. Got home and the was some...

    Easter plate ribs

    I only do country ham, so for Easter it was Dino ribs. Local Latin meat market has been having them regularly. Not always a good selection, most all were 4 bone jobs. Typically there's a huge fat chunk around bones 2-3. I picked the thickest. 7lbs before trim. Whipped up my own SPOG (heavy on...

    Got a new "budget" electric sharpener

    Post happy hour clicking strikes again. To begin, I have several sharpening devices including a Ken Onion, a Razor sharp pull through, and a little work sharp. The Ken Onion is works but is a PITA with belt changing, and what seems like a less-than-accurate angle guide, left-handed.. I typically...

    Aldi's corned beef to pastrami (take 2)

    I can't imagine two pieces of meat being so different. I bought two pieces when Aldi had a few for $3,49/lb. Point. Both pieces looked similar, about 3.5 lbs each. As I posted earlier the first one was done on my WSM. This time, because I'm a tightwad I used the kettle because with the SNS...

    Aldi's corned beef point Pastrami. take one.

    Rumor spread about Aldi having the Cattleman's brand corned beef for $3.49/lb. I've always, with spectacular results used Grobbel's corned beef, sometimes Flat, sometimes point. The choice this week was point, of Aldi's Cattleman's brand. There were only two packs when I got there, so I snagged...

    Boston butt freezer find

    rooting through the freezer found a $.99/lb Boston butt and we were fresh out of vacuum sealed shreds. Time to fire up the WSM. s typical of these sale butts there was a hefty chunk of fat, which I trimmed down to about 1/4". Scored the fat side to absorbs much rub as possible. Made my own rub...

    ThermoPro rebranding?

    not an earth shaking development, but recently as doing research after an electric salt/pepper grinder set popped up on Thermopro website. I'm a big 'ol worry wart and absolutely love my relic "Corkie" salt and pepper grinders that are now 6 years old. I also decided to check the price on...

    Top blade Flat Iron Chicken steak.

    Post name is kind of a joke. I comment frequently about our local "Latin" supermarket / meat store. I was wandering through the other day. looking for some griddle steaks. Not real thick like i would buy bone in ribeye. I'm not sure who makes the labels, but thought it was comical. I noted the...

    OTT chili on the WSM

    Well, we're having our week of winter this week and Mama's been hinting chili. She was talking of digging up he uncle's old chili recipe, but I can't have that. Decided to give it a go on the WSM. This is not a recipe, but more of a guide or inspiration. I don't do "recipes", but typically...

    time for some Dino ribs.

    Every now and then my head(and stomach) says "it's time to make some Dino ribs. Our local "Latin" market. typically has these displayed in the "expensive" section of the meat area. Selection is usually limited o a couple of pieces with a take it or leave it attitude. Communication is limited to...

    New Years viddles

    it's already the 7th and just now getting to this. Work is already whooping my backside, plus trying to take a little time to mess with my car toy. Mama told me we had to have pork, and the obligatory black eyed peas. Luckily Publix had Hatfield pork tenderloins on BOGO. I've become a big fan of...

    My @Inkbird IBBQ-4T is ailing, plus Amazon sale for replacement

    I noticed the battery (built in) on My @Inkbirdbbq IBBQ-4T 4 probe thermometer started acting wonky at the South Florida gathering where the battery life after full charge seemed to be draining much faster than I'm used to. Still works fine when connected to your average pocket sized battery...

    tri -tip two ways. long with a couple pics.

    So my "Latin" Market had and ad with USDA tri-tips for $5.99/lb. I was a bit speculative but had to look. These things were huge, as I usually get the smaller 2-3 lb jobs. Took a chance and got the smallest one which weighed in a little over 6lbs. it was a repackaged piece in shrink wrap, so i...

    Chicken balls

    saw this on a F/B kettle forum and decided to try it. The recipe was chicken breasts cubed and wrapped in bacon. Worked of but next time I'll use thighs. Slippery little suckers were a task to wrap in bacon. it would help if Publix thin bacon wasn't paper thin. Next time, if i do it again I'll...

    In Atlanta... is Rodney Scott's worth a visit?

    I got conned into attending a tech event near Georgia Tech . Yelp says there's a Rodney Scotts nearby. I'm embarrassed I'm not familiar. it's close enough to Uber. Worth a shot?

    Sometimes you just have to have brisket burnt ends

    without rehashing the cost of beef these days, I got a little brain message telling me it was time for burnt ends. Luckily my local Latin meat market regularly offers precut point and flat cuts of brisket. Prohibitively expensive at $8.99/lb, but my mind was set and it looked like a well marbled...

    Electronic rodent control question.

    Way off topic. My patio/ cooking area is covered but not enclosed. I got a silicone cover for my griddle. It's "sealed and keeps anything off the cooking surface. I can see the patio from my "office" chair. i saw a small rodent scurry across my cover last night. traps and/or bait would not be...

    Sunday pork tenderloin.

    With the price of beef lately, we've been doing a lot more pork. while I don't particularly care for "marinated in the package", it does make for a quick Sunday smoke. Walmart had these pre-marinated garlic and pepper jobs for a decent price. $10 all in. Mama found this "unique "sauce in the BBQ...
