    Baby backs/mac and cheese for dinner

    After the successful inaugural smoke of a brisket last weekend on the OK Joe Highland, it is time to see how good ribs turn out. I have 2 racks of baby back ribs that just went on at 225-250* and plan on whipping up some homemade mac to smoke the last hour. I'll snap a starter pic when I spritz...

Currently at 127* internal, I have the probe in the thickest part of the flat. I also have a pan of...

    New smoker, who dis? Back to the dark side!

    Shit picture but sold off the pellet smoker and I am going back to stick and charcoal. I loved the convenience of the pellet smoker the last 5+ years, but the smoke left something to be desired. Back to the basics.....and babysitting lol. I feel an inaugural brisket is in short order.

    Smoked Chicken Cordon Bleu

    We had a craving for some chicken cordon bleu the other day. I picked up everything to make it yesterday, and thought why not smoke it. I took 4 chicken breasts and butterflied them. I then pounded them out until they were all uniform size. After that I hit them with some rub and put laid on...

    Making a feast tonight.

    Tossed this post in the general thread due to multiple things being cooked. First thing I did this morning was hard boil some eggs for about 7 minutes so they had a soft/jammy yolk. I then tossed those on my pit boss with a full A-maz-n smoke tube to provide smoke. I'll let those go for about 4...

    Another weekend, another butt.

    I smoked a 10lb. butt last weekend. I ended up getting talked into doing a get together for my department at work on the 1st of July. Going to do 20lbs. of pork butt and everyone is going to bring sides. I figured I better make sure that I have my stuff dialed in, so I am doing another 10lb...

    10 lb. butt going on

    I was originally going to do a picnic shoulder today for pulled pork. I got up at 5:30am and got the smoker running and pulled the shoulder out of the fridge to get it seasoned. As soon as my knife pierced the wrapper I sensed an off putting smell. Wife confirmed my suspicions with her nose that...

    First brisket in a long time.

    Just found a whole prime cut 10 lb. brisket at Sam's Club earlier. It has now become today's task to smoke it. Got it seasoned with salt, black pepper, and a dash of MSG. I've found that a little MSG on steaks while reverse searing is phenomenal so I figured it couldn't hurt on a brisket. It is...

    First time cheese smoker!

    I was tempted the other day for some smoked cheese after talking to my dad and the ol' lady. I've always wanted to smoke some cheese but assumed that I didn't have the right equipment as I have a Pit Boss 820D. I found that A-Maze-N sells the pellet tube and grabbed that and got it today. I have...
