It's been a while, so I wanted to do a "catching up" post inspired by @tx smoker and one of his amazing recent posts. Once the new year rolled around, I realized I had quite a bit of meat in the freezer and the week off work. I decided I would start the year off right with a marathon week of...

My youngest turned 8 this week, and he requested his birthday meal to be a crawfish boil (I think I'm raising him right). Since it's still a little too early in the year for mudbugs, he settled for a crab/shrimp boil instead. The weather has been fantastic around here this week, so the timing...

Happy New Year fellow meat lovers. It's been a busy past month so I haven't been around to post/chat as much as I would have liked. I'm ready to get back in the swing of things. Hope all is well with everyone. Wanted to start the new year off right with a beautiful venison heart. Cleaned it...

I've had the SV for a few months now but I'm still loving to learn all of it's many uses. Last night I re-heated a chunk of brisket point that I had frozen for dinner. Did it at 165 degrees for 2 hours (per meatchurch vid on YT). I was amazed at how good it turned out and how similar it was to...

We eat quite a bit of smoked turkey at my house. For the price and effort to smoke, it's hard to beat. Our local store sells pre brined breasts that I like to grab whenever the family is in the mood. It pairs well with most other sides and is always delicious and juicy. It is also very...

Don't think I've ever posted a brisket here, so here it goes. This one from this past weekend. The store I go to had slim pickings when I was there (must have caught them before restocking) so the choices were a little limited. I grabbed this guy as others available were a little small for my...

A quick and easy post for a quick and easy snack. September is dove hunting season in TX and dove jalapeno poppers are one of our favorite treats to cook up while football is on. Super simple and delicious. Here's a small batch from this past weekend. Jalapenos, cream cheese, bacon, & dove...

Hope everyone had a great labor day. I threw some dino ribs on the smoker. Nothing too crazy but had to smoke something for the long weekend and the wife and kids always love these. Thanks for stopping by!

My youngest son shot his first pig a couple of weeks back and was itching to try it out. I don't eat a lot of wild hog unless they are the right size and this one was. Decided to throw the backstraps on the smoker with some ribs and sausage I was already doing. At some point in the past...

Had some time at home with the family this weekend finally so it was time to smoke. I decided to give pickling and smoked beans a try as well. The store had a good selection of Dino Ribs that caught my eye and after some recent Dino Rib posts from other members (thx @tx smoker ) I decided that...

I was browsing the store this week and saw some crazy marbled American wagyu blade steaks. I honestly had never/seen or heard of them but they looked great and the price seemed right so I figured I'd give them a try. Zero clue how to cook these things, so I figured I'd throw them in the SV...

Apologies to keep on with the SV beef posts, but my local store had a bunch of prime picanha's for $10.49/lb so I picked one up and decided to try it in the SV. Turned out delicious. Dry brined the night before. Gave them the bath for a couple of hours at 125 and sear finished on the Weber...

After the first go round with the SV and a tomahawk a few weeks back I've been craving SV'd steaks again. Threw in a couple of ribeyes for the wifey over the weekend. Continue to be amazed by how easily and perfectly it cooks. Finished off with a torch. Looking forward to more SV'ing in the near...

Got a sous vide a couple months back and finally got to try it out over the weekend with a tomahawk and a smaller steak. I am sold! Absolutely delicious and easy. Seared them off at the end with a torch. One of the best steaks I've ever had. The smaller steak turned out perfect as well. Is...

Saying hello from Central TX. Long time lurker here. Been smoking a few years with a meager old new braunfels offset stick burner. It gets the job done while I save up for a big boy smoker. Looking forward to learning new things from like minded people! I'm obsessed with this stuff (particularly...
