My try at tri-tip
Always a bit nervous trying something new. With the help of y'all, I seem to have knack at this smoking thing. Seasoned with SPOG + paprika Smoked to 140° IT with hickory, as I have kids who don't do med-rare. Then seared just for a bit for char. Plated with collard greens and baked or sweet... -
My 1st overnighter
Never pulled an overnight smoke before. Wasnt near as bad as I had imagined. Points to Weber for making a smoker that holds temps like a champ. Basted in maple syrup prior to the rub being applied. 2 7.5 lb shoulders. Light the fire...let's get to smoking! As I'm bringing the smoker up to... -
Free stuff
So yesterday we were doing set up for a luau themed party we host every year. We sport the whole thing including drinks/food/festivities. I have/had 2 $25 grills that I use for events like this.

Hopefully someone could point me in the right direction? What I can recall for ingredients is: Sugar,brown sugar,Cumin,cinnamon, chili... -

Sweeter chicken
So I got fancy for the 1st time. I tried to make up my own recipe and while it was fair at best I did not get the sweet taste I was looking for. The heat in the rub was spot on. I tried injecting pineapple juice in quartered chicken. Rubbed with Jeff's "Texas style" and glazed with a... -
Stuffed bell peppers
Right to the good stuff... Southwest style stuffed peppers with provolone cheese! I was surprised how much smoke the bell pepper itself picked up. Mesquite wood because I wanted that strong smoke. Stuffing was a mix of hot breakfast sausage, black beans, corn, Ro-Tel and white rice. Seasoned... -
