After 6 or 7 years of talking about it, I finally did it! I entered my first contest! It was a "backyard" contest, but a lot of very experienced, and very good teams were cooking in it (some with very expensive cookers to). I arrived early Friday morning, the weather was nice! (But that would...

So, at this point, I still haven't worked up enough courage to enter a KCBS contest. But, Friday, I did the next best thing. I took the class and became a Certified Barbeque Judge! :yahoo: I never really thought I would enjoy being a judge, but after taking the class, I'm kind of excited to...

Have any of you guys heard of Copper Flask or Naked Lion Brewing Company? I used to buy this stuff back in 08 or 09, but I haven't seen it since. I think they were based in Memphis. Does anyone know if they went out of business? I've posted a couple of pics, any help would be greatly...

This year is starting out so much better than last year! Just thought I would share some pics with you guys! Lettuce & Cabbage Collards Cabbage, Cauliflower and Broccoli Tomatoes and Kohlrabi sprouting on the heat mat. Got some Thyme, Rosemary, and Celery coming up in the float...

Merry Christmas everybody! Yesterday I made a moink ball Christmas tree! I got the idea from Diva Q's website. I took it to a Christmas Eve party and it was a big hit.  Moink balls and beans Styrofoam Cone   wrapped in aluminum foil with a star on top! How cool is that...

I picked up a drum last week, it has the dreaded orange liner, but for $18, I can't complain. I decided that I'm going to make a Pellet Fired UDS. I ordered the pellet hopper assembly from Smoke Daddy, it should be here any day now. I will keep you guys updated as my new project progresses...

This has been a rough year in the garden. We had so much rain early in the year we weren't able to get anything set out. Everything is late this year. Leek and potato soup is one of my favorite things. Years ago, my friend gave me this very simple recipe. So what did I do? I complicated it by...

I did these a while back, but just now got around to posting them. I love me some chicken wings, but lately they have just got so expensive. So when I saw these on sale, I just had to get them! First, I dusted the wings with rub. Then on the smoker at 250. Then I made the glaze. I...

I did these a while back, but just got around to posting them now. I do my pork loins a little different than most people, but the results are always good. I injected two 9 lb. pork loins with a mixture of olive oil, orange and apple juice, Cheerwine, Sundrop, and Moore's Marinade, then...

I had a few packages of short ribs in the freezer. I've never smoked beef ribs of any kind before, so I decided to throw them on the smoker and see what happens! I cut them into single rib sections and trimmed all the fat i could off of them. Dusted them with rub. Put them on the smoker...

I made some delicious gumbo, a while back. so that motivated me to try some jambalaya. As with the gumbo, I had never made it before. I'm not sure how traditional it is but It was darn tasty, I know that! I smoked a chicken and threw some sausage on towards the end. Then I sliced the...

I thought I would share some pics of what I got growing in my greenhouse, There isn't to much going on, I'm off to kind of a slow start this season. I plan to update as the season progresses. Thanks for looking!  Broccoli Cabbage Brussels Sprouts Float Bed

I did these a while back, but never got around to posting them, until now. One day I hope to enter a KCBS contest. I have played around with thighs, but it seems no matter what method I use, they still suck .  So I figured I would french some drumsticks and see how it goes. First, I made a...

I just love pimento cheese, its probably one of my favorite foods and so easy to make. I decided to make some the other day. I went to the grocery store, picked up the cheese and pimentos, but when I got to the spot where Duke's mayonnaise sits they were all out.   NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! So I had to...

First, let me say I have never made gumbo before, but I decided to go for it and see what happens. We don't have a lot of fresh sea food in middle TN, so I decided to do a chicken & sausage gumbo. I hope no Cajuns were offended by this gumbo,  I'm just a country boy trying to expand his...

I got this idea from Pokernut's "Smoke Ring Fatty" post. I guess I owe him a royalty fee. . I thought it would make a great centerpiece for the Christmas morning breakfast table. Its 2 lbs. of sausage, wrapped in bacon, with hash browns and cheddar on the inside. I want to wish everyone a Merry...

I made this the day after Turkey Day, but haven't had a chance to post it until now. I made it with 2 lbs. of turkey sausage, in the middle is my Mom's leftover cornbread dressing, and I wrapped it in turkey bacon. I think it would have been better without the turkey bacon. Aw well that's what...

Hey guys, I found this site a couple months ago and could not believe the wealth of information. My name is Edward (friends call me Ned) and I'm a farmer from Sherwood, Tennessee. I grow a lot of my own food, and try to buy as much as I can from other local farmers. Maybe its just me, but I...
