    New toy arrived.

    And I can't wait to use it. Thanks to some Amazon cash I was gifted, I decided I needed a wok burner, so here it is. 45k btu jet burner in all it's still somewhat packaged glory. Only question is what do I make to break it in?

    My Signature Sandwich.

    Only in the experimental phase, but this may be... The. Signature. Sammich. Pork schnitzel, granny smith apple-slaw, door county cherry/brandy glaze, cold-pack beer cheese. Assembled on a toasted hoagie roll. And in true Wisconsin fashion, garnished with a cocktail cherry and orange slice...

    Gave the smokers a rest and fried some chicken up tonight.

    Marinated in buttermilk overnight, then coated in flour with some salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and some of my Hot Cock Nashville Hot rub. Served with some craft beer battered fries and some coleslaw the wife whipped up.

    It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

    What does a typical 11 year old spend their money on? Video games? Clothes? Candy? Nope...not our kid. My 11 year old wanted to use a portion of her Christmas money to buy her very first smoker, all by herself. She got an ASMOKE AS350 mini pellet smoker at Menards for $89. She's already trying...

    Cali-style Steak Burritos

    My kids love burritos so when prepping our prime rib for this year, I saved all the trimmings from squaring it up and took two 1/2" slices off of it for burrito usage. Marinated the meat in my homemade chimichurri for 24 hours, grilled them up on the Weber Mini Q, and diced. Rolled up in an...

    Christmas Eve Dinner

    In our family we do our "fancy meal" Christmas Eve, then stay in our pj's and have snacks/appetizers Christmas Day. So tonight's meal was prime rib smoked on the CharGriller Gravity, twice baked potato casserole, and hot honey carrots with asparagus. The main character of tonight's feast. 9.87...

    Chili. The real stuff.

    Chili. Real chili. The Tejas way. The way it was intended. No noodles. No beans. No tomatoes. Just meat and chiles. Hence...."chili". 3 lbs chuck roast seared before dicing into 1" cubes. Chili sauce is 6 anchos, 3 guajillos, 1 arbol, a chipotle pepper with adobo sauce, and a clove of garlic...

    It's an inside type of day, guess I'll make a glaze. And some chicken.

    Was going to clear a parh from the deck to the BBQ Shed, but it's -5°F out, so that's not going to happen anymore today. Decided it's a good day to hang out inside, make some eggnog, play some Skip-bo with the family, and mess around with a glaze experiment for 2026's competition season...

    Any business owners here who work with their spouse?

    How do you do it? Wife and I have been going round and round over merch designs for our business. She handles the accounting, bills, fulfillment, etc., while I handle the product development, sales and marketing, event scheduling, production, and managing our social media. I have a clear view of...

    Chicago Cracker-Thin 'Za

    Deep dish is a gimmick and not a pizza....a casserole, maybe, but definitely not pizza. The real pizza of the Chicagoland....cracker-thin. But the kicker here is the best cracker thin pizza in the midwest doesn't even come out of Illinois, its from Racine, WI. Wells Brothers. Tried cracking...

    Early Christmas gift from the wife.

    Was delivered Monday and I'm addicted...she got me a cast iron juicer. Now I'm addicted to this thing and no piece of fruit stands a chance in our house. I've already managed to squeeze the wife's entire bowl of fruit that sits on the counter as well as 2 bags of oranges. Tonight's mixture...

    Sausage. It's what's for dinner.

    Homemade brats. Homemade carmelized onion/beer reduction to top them with. Homemade buns. Homemade potato pancakes. And homemade applesauce. So. Damn. Good. The sausage. Ground up about 8 pounds of pork shoulder, then seasoned with a blend of spices, divided into 3 parts: 1 for just plain beer...

    Brisket Gyros

    Did a hot and fast 16 lb packer brisket yesterday on the 120 gallon offset. Trimmed it to about 12 lbs, smoked it at 340° for seven hours total using cherry wood, wrapping at 160° internal, and then rested for 2 hours. Was the first time using the hot and fast method and it worked great. Had a...

    That time of year...

    This year's batch of my Apple Pie Moonshine is done, jarred, and ready to be enjoyed. Already gifted nearly two dozen jars to friends and good customers. Tweaked my recipe a bit this year and damn...this is DANGEROUS. So smooth, yet still clocks in at 91 proof.

    Any other SMF Bourbon/Whiskey "enthusiasts"?

    Who else enjoys the creature? Nothing beats a glass of straight whiskey, neat. Did a little bourbon hunting this morning as well as pulled out some bottles from my backstock to realize "Shit, I'm out of room...gotta add more shelves." Now after setting everything up, I find that once again, I'm...
