    Pulled Lamb Shoulder

    My uncle raises an African breed of sheep, no wool on this breed thus the meat never takes on the oils from the wool making a very pleasant taste. In addition, we butcher them young, not quite still on the milk but damn close! Today I’ll be smoking the bone in shoulder over pecan. I typically...

    Smoked & Braised Venison Neck

    I’ve always used the neck as grind but kept this year’s harvest whole to smoke & braise for tacos. Rub was simple with additions of ancho chili, cumin & cinnamon. Smoked it over white oak for 4 hours and into the Dutch oven at 275 to braise. My braise consisted of my standard chili and coffee...

Using a Vision Pro S grill with mesquite lump and some white oak chunks from an untreated wine barrel. Wine is stained on the wood, never seen this before but when in...

    First timer- Lamb/Goat Merguez

    To start....What a pain in the ass! Keeping swine out of the whole menu and staying traditional with Merguez I used lamb casings. Everything other than getting the casing on and occasional bursts went smooth. Traditional merguez plus crushed pine nuts and dried mint. On the smoker at 250 then...

    Peking duck & Goat neck tacos

    Happy Sunday Funday all... Have a Peking duck cut in half and some baby goats neck the butcher gave me. Not exactly a match of proteins but why waste smoke, smoke em if you got em!

    First smoke on Baby Goat Shoulder

    Have smoked lamb many of times but never it's leaner cousin the goat, let alone a baby goat around 6 months old. Had the meat a week prior in Jamaican style curry goat and it was very flavorful, not greasy but enough to warrant a good smoke. I decided to smoke it using a combo white oak and...

    Crazy & Possibly Stupid- Ground Filet Mignon Burger

As far as the burger and fixins goes:  I used 3/4 of the Filet Mignon and 1/4 of 80/20 chuck to help keep...

    First time with Dino Bones

    Picking up some beef ribs today from the butcher to smoke this Sunday while watching my Hawks attempt to put a bruising on Brady.  Whole racks are $3.99/lb which I thought was pretty good deal considering this is a high end butcher.  I own a GMB Daniel Boone, and have never smoked beef ribs...
