    Fajitas

    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...

    Hot smoked then braised short ribs

    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...

    Smoked turkey legs, greenbeans, mac & cheese

    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...

    Smoked corned beef and cabbage w/salt potatoes

    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...

    Brinkmanns first smoke

    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.

    SMF TD Entry

    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...

    Classic American cheeseburger

    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...

    Camping and cooking

    It's all about grilling and creating for me and all about simplicity for her, we try and compromise. This was originally planned as a 2 night escape to the lake but plans change and we had to cut it a day short. I confess, I failed to get any great pics of the food but I grilled two thin...

    Can't believe it - never used Cimarron

    Unbelievable find, some of you saw I posted about an unopened King Kooker I grabbed from an estate sale, today discounts started so I went back and tucked around a corner out back was a smoker. It was an early to mid 90s Brinkmann Cimarron, all of it, including even the ash tool. It was filthy...

    Spicy drums w/zest

    We dropped by Kroger for a few things a few days ago and I saw big packs of fresh wings! I suddenly wanted to grill some but right next to them was big packs of drumsticks. Wings are crazy these days, over $4/lb. I remember when butchers threw them out... the drums were $1.39/lb. I figured...

    Primo Action-Tuna & Asparagus

    It's been hot but needed a quick dinner and didn't wanna heat up the house plus the Primo pre-heats as fast as our oven. Salt, pepper, and olive oil is all that this dish takes. Very tasty and good for you. No smoke, just clean lump at about 400°f for ~20 min. Pulled it when the tuna was...

    Friday night steak

    The Mrs brought these home the other day and I had no choice. The clock was ticking away. $16.80 /lb, I couldn't risk loosing them. Just a screeching fire in the Weber and a few minute later, dinner! I actually just at steak, that's rare for me, I normally make room on the plate for salad or...

    I think we are gonna trash out on Ramen tonight ;) Smoked this belly slab today with post oak, ran the offset around 300°f for about 4 hours to get here. Picked this up at WinCo. A bit of a different approach, I used fajita seasoning, cayenne pepper, granulated garlic and black pepper...

    A little vodka experiment

    Had a big bottle of Tower Vodka sitting around, decided we'd buy a big bag of jolly ranchers. 10 ranchers per pint of vodka and 7 days time. We'll see, I'm betting it's tasty. The colors already make me wanna slug it lol.
