Ambrosia Maple serving trays
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...- chopsaw

Whole Teriyaki chicken
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 ... -
Last minute Pork Steaks
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... -
Chicken leg 1/4's . Deboned and stuffed .
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... -

Brisket point end and Baby backs .
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... -

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... -
