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...

Finally got around to tossing some meat on the never used brinkmann smoker I found at an estate sale. Just a charcoal fire with some big chunks of oak in it. This is a well behaved smoker. Beef sausage and hot links.

I'll just let the photos speak. A 50/50 mix of wagyu beef and Italian sausage rolled around goodness, coated in panko to a delicious crispy creation. Topped with fine cheese. Made a Sammy along the way... It was very good, the outside was crispy and the middle gooey. All of the...

Locally bred, raise, prepared Wagyu beef patties. I used a 1/3 pound party form and Montreal seasoning as a release agent. I smoked these on the Primo, bbq'd them. Needed to render some fat. Cheap yellow mustard, a smear of mayo, pickle slices from our garden, and kraft singles...

Picked up the ribs from a ranch that sells at our farmers market and the time was right. I hit the ribs with a Grey poupon binder and Montreal seasoning. The brisket flat section with no binder, garlic salt and black pepper. Also tossed some mac and cheese on the smoker and some stuffed...
