Started off with some homemade Hot Italian . I had 2 butts . Cut pork steaks from one , and mixed in what was left to the 2nd one . That gave me a bit more fat content than I normally use , it was a positive . Probably around 33% fat to lean . I base my batches off 2 1/2 pounds of grind . For...
Bought a couple of these one sale a week or so ago . I always plan for 2 meals when I buy these .
Deboning is my go to on these . Makes a great end result .
Completely deboned , I peel the skin side back , but leave it attached in the middle .
Season up under the skin ,
Pull the skin back down...
Been looking at these for awhile now . I have a Samsung fridge with the total failure ice maker design .
@mike243 helped me with updating / repair and what I needed to do which helped . New mainboard , drain heaters , sealer for the ice room , and some other stuff . Got a good 2 years out of it...
Ambrosia is a defect in wood , caused by the Ambrosia boring beetle . Discolors the wood , and makes some really nice features . I figured it would make some nice serving or display boards .
These came out really sharp . Pictures don't do them justice , but thought I'd share .
Made one larger...
I have several cooks I've done , but never posted . If things are busy , I'll save them for another time so it doesn't clutter things up .
Did this on the SmokeFire back when I first got it .
Whole chicken in Pop's brine overnight .
Black pepper only on the skin .
Chicken on the SmokeFire ...
Been hand cutting steaks when I make sausage . Usually get 3 decent boneless steaks from a butt .
Had these thawed out for today , but yesterday my Son informed me that he wanted to make a pasta dish .
So I decided to get them going for Saturday's supper .
Got out the " hole poker " and worked...
Found some leg 1/4's for a good price . Perdue brand . I don't buy the cheap leg 1/4's in the bag . Those look like they were processed with a chainsaw . These come on a tray of 4 . I bought 2 trays for $3.95 each .
A tray of 8 legs , or thighs were $14.00 each . So I always buy 2 trays of 1/4's...

5 cloves garlic
2 tsp lemon zest
1/3 cup chopped basil ( I used pesto on the slices )
1/3 cup parsley
1/3 cup pecorino
1/3 cup bread crumbs
3 oz. fontina...
Finally had some hatch chili's at the store today . I hesitated to grab them . Seems it's always late when we get them , and the go bad fast . Sometimes by the time I get home . Ended up tossing 2 . Being in that bag doesn't help things .
Broke down a beef knuckle a couple weeks ago . Thawed...
Been too hot outside to do much cooking . So I've been hanging out in the shop . This is an old Norm Abrams / New Yankee Workshop project .
I did one 30 plus years ago , and have been wanting to revisit it .
I had some hard Maple in the basement , so that's what I used .
First thing is bending...
Had some nice center cut pork steaks from the store . Been cutting my own , but they had some really nice steaks on sale . Did this a couple weeks ago . Been using the gas grill a lot , because it does a great job and makes it easy to do multiple things .
Seasoned up and warming a bit on the...
This was from Father's day a few weeks ago .
Been using the SmokeFire and the Genesis 310 for just about everything , with some grilling on my Performer .
The 26 " kettle hasn't been fired up in a couple years . Figured it was time , but still had to force myself . I decided I was gonna sit...
If you can buy Kretschmar products in your area , look for the whole boneless ham sale .
$1.79 a lb. with $25 purchase and be a member of the rewards program where I shop . Not sure about other places , but It's worth a look . Great slicing ham for sandwiches .
10 pounds of ham , retail $50.86...
Been wanting to try this for awhile . Had a full day at the mixer yesterday . 2 batches of pizza dough for later in the week . 2 - 500 gram batches of sourdough now resting in the fridge , and this batch of cinnamon loaf .
I tried this once before , with failed results . This time I used a mix...
Did 3 of these . The first one was just a basic sourdough batch that was in the fridge for 5 days .
Came out pretty good . The rosemary gives great flavor .
Red onion suffered a bit from the high heat , but no off taste .
Nice and soft .
Used it to make a sandwich . Great sandwich bread ...
Saw a ceramic loaf pan at Goodwill for 2 bucks . Had to try it out .
Really does a good job ,
Just wish it was a little bigger .
Sorry , couldn't resist . It's actually fun to use . Wish I had 2 more .
Would make a great sample for bigger loaves . I just grabbed that hunk out of a boule...
Mixed up a batch a couple days ago . I like to split that in 2 , and get 2 smaller loaves with different profiles .
I actually mixed up 2 - 500 grams batches . One is still in the fridge .
These 2 went 2 days in the fridge . Got the dough out yesterday morning to warm up , and did some...
Since chuck is so expensive , and I bought a bunch of whole strip loins for under 6 bucks , I used a section for some crockpot roast beef and taters . You just need to adjust your time since it doesn't have the connective tissue to break down .
Here's how it went ,
Broke the roast into smaller...
Found the last of the knuckles I broke down over the summer in the freezer . A nice center cut sirloin roast . This is from a couple weeks ago .
Thawed and dry brined with Kinders Garlic butter . Let it sit on the counter for a couple hours .
Used the SmokeFire and B&B comp pellets . Temp...
