We are planning to spend all day in the pool and had errands to run this morning so I'm doing these the easiest way I know how (short of something gross 😝) Started a hot fire in the Weber and put some color on 15 brats, pretty hot so the color layer down in minutes but the sausage was left...

Albertsons had pork butt on sale for $0.99lb so we grabbed a few. Our stash of smoked pork has been depleted so it time. We plan on floating around all day in the pool so the choice of using the Primo was easy. It'll run unattended at the set temp for as long as 20 hours. I targeted 200°f...

The original plan was tacos but I started listening to the Yuengling and this happened. 😆 we pre-season skinless boneless chicken thighs in 2.5 lb vac bags and freeze them. Makes it quick and easy, I use a cleaver to hammer out the thighs before I take them out of the bag so they grill quick...

First, while I cooked this outside, I used a gas burner, no smoking or grilling involved so I'm placing the post here. I plan on adding a smoking step in the future. This is a fast version of AL pastor and only took about 4 hours to complete. Significant time spent doing the prep, actual cook...

It's been so hot I needed to minimize my time outside so I smoked a mess of things to help bridge the week for us. Nothing fancy, just good eats. A variety of sausages, should have found something else to finish loading it up. Thighs and drums. Jalapenos for salsa. Was able to scavenge...

Too hot today to heat the house with the oven, Mrs philpom planned lasagna for dinner so I offered to fire up the Primo and bake it out back. Used a neutral lump, 400°f 35 minutes covered and 10 minutes uncovered. Getting it started Just pulled the foil Ready to eat! Cheers!

Grabbed 8lbs of spares the other day, perfect! We made homemade ice cream, brownies, mac&cheese, plus corn on the cob incoming. Using a blend of post oak and hickory today. Was gonna trim these up St. Louis style but suddenly got real lazy so just a good spare rib trim. I might even sauce...

Dennys has a promo going for Masters of the Universe and a burger. I thought to myself I'd never go there for a burger but the combination sounds good. I made my own. Angus beef pattie, smoked brisket, bacon, white cheddar, pickles, onion, lettuce, and tomatoes. Our daughter stacked this...

Another hot smoked chicken, think I'll start doing 1 or 2 of these a month. Just garlic salt inside and out and a bit of red oak. This was a 5lb 4oz bird. Indirect at 275°f for about 150 minutes. Our garden has started to really produce and to go with the chicken we harvested potatoes...

I've done this one before, hot carbon steel, avacodo oil, salt and pepper corns. A quick sear and we're off to the dinner races! I did run about a minute long on these, fish kills you with the carryover cooking. The whole pepper corns are essential in my opinion. Servers with roasted...

I set up the Webber kettle for I direct and ran this cook at about 285°f for just under 3 hours. Used 3 or so chunks of red oak for smoke. Seasoned liberally with a course garlic salt inside and out. Pulled it once I started getting reading in the 175-185°f. The sunshine really made the...

The Primo would have been a great choice for this but I enjoy playing around so the kettle it was. I used a house coffee rub, equal parts kosher salt, course black pepper, granulated garlic and fresh ground dark roast coffee. Hickory chunks and ran the kettle in the 235 ish range. I patted it...

Ok, I lied, it's only 17.8 pounds.... . My wife picked this up on sale at Albertsons, she had a digital coupon she stacked making it $2.99/lb. A far cry from the $.69/lb I recall as a younger man but not bad these days. Turns out I have no time to cook this brisket, enter the Primo. I've...

wife picked up some nice inside skirt from Kroger for $6.99/lb the other day and wanted it for dinner last night. The problem nagging me was I knew with the high wind lately my kettle had been blown over and needed a full bath inside and out before I could use it. Not conducive to a quick...

Kroger had corned beef brisket on sale for $3.99, I had to grab one, impossible to say no. Soaked it in cool water for about and hour, air dried it and coated well with granulated garlic and course black pepper. Quartered the cabbage, brushed with olive oil, sprinkled with kosher salt and...

A little odd of a post but if anyone is a fan of space or NASA today 01/21/2026 is the last day to register for a boarding pass aboard Artemis II. The SLS rocket will launch later this year with a crew of 4 to orbit the moon taking mankind the furthest from earth they have ever been. The...

It had been awhile since we had beef fajitas. Stopped by Kroger and grabbed 3 lbs of skirt, nice and thick. Seasoned with a Rojo fajita seasoning from one of our local super Mercados. Seasoned a few hours before I grilled them. Hot fire on the Weber, took just a few minutes. Delish...

Days away from Christmas and 80°f. Hmmm..... beef ribs! I set the Weber up for indirect and put 2 nice chunks of oak on the grate above the baskets, lined the ribs down the middle. Let them in there while I got the braising liquid ready and until they had nice color. About 40 minutes. Did...

Brined these for 6 hours. Brine was 4 cups water, 1/2 cup kosher salt, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, pepper corns, allspice, and a bay leaf. Dried them well and rubbed down with EVOO. Coated them with a good dose of a house blend. Granulated garlic, onion, paprika, black...

Turned out great, used the Cimarron for this cook. Garlic and coarse black pepper on the beef. I like to core the cabbage and wrap it 2/3s in foil, then in the core hole put black pepper, granulated onion and garlic along with some chicken soup base granules. Then pack it with butter and poor...
