Wagyu Brisket - Best I've Ever Had (w/ pics)
Smoked my first ever wagyu brisket while the in-laws were in town since my father-in-law likes to smoke meat occasionally himself. The brisket was about 13# from Snake River Farm. I'm embarrassed to say how long it'd been in my deep freezer--I got it as a gift from my boss (who is from Central... -
Pork Shoulder About Every Way You Can Imagine (Burnt ends, burritos, cuban sandwich, and of course pulled pork)
With it just being the two of us at home and no friends coming by due to the virus, I've had to get creative with my big cuts of meat. This pork shoulder was no different. I split it into two portions, one boneless for burnt ends and one bone-in for pulled pork. Seasoned up with Meat Church Holy... -
Camp Chef Wings (a few times) and Chicken Pops
I've been behind on my posting yet again, but not so much my cooking. Well, look for a big batch of posts from me tonight while I watch some Braves baseball. First up, wings! My go to lately has been a mix of Meat Church rubs (either Honey Hog, Gospel, or Holy Gospel) paired with doctored up...- tander28

Two more homerun dishes from the Mrs. (Goat ribs and ravioli)
She's been on a roll lately, which means I've been eating good whether the smoker is fired up or not! Moroccan style goat ribs with chickpea curry and cilantro rice and a mint yogurt sauce. Homemade ravioli stuffed with herbed goat cheese and ricotta and topped with a brown butter sauce with... -
Smoked and Seared Tri-Tip
Apparently, @TNJAKE and I were on the same page without knowing it, because a few weeks back I smoked a Tri-Tip seasoned with Meat Church Holy Voodoo just like he did here! Started with a nice 3 lb. tri-tip from the local university dairy. This was my first time cooking one, so I just treated... -
Unbelievable Lamb Chops Courtesy of the Mrs.
This meal was so good I had to post about it even though I didn't cook it! Mediterranean herb/garlic rubbed lamb chops topped with herb infused olive oil with panzanella salad. Seasoned and cooked to perfection! The herbs were fresh from her garden. Lamb raw hanging out with the herb and garlic... -
Grilled Creole Biscuits and Gravy
Quick, easy and delicious biscuits and gravy for breakfast last weekend. Used this recipe with buttermilk for the biscuit dough: https://sugarspunrun.com/easy-homemade-biscuits/ . Folded in some leftover ground pork/bacon blend that I didn't use in the rolled pork loin. Rendered down some more... -
Rolled Pork Loin with Sausage, Onion, Cream Cheese and Kielbasa
I felt like getting a little creative last weekend, and I saw a post on the carousel recently about a rolled/stuffed pork loin--so I gave it a shot! Thawed a roughly 2.5 lb. pork loin I had in the freezer and butterflied it open / pounded it to a thin, uniform thickness. Spread some cream cheese...- tander28

4th of July Brats, Burgers and Buns (Ray's Recipe!)
I'm way behind on posting, but we had a low key 4th. I did a hot and fast brisket the day before, so kept it simple for the 4th with burgers and brats. All the meat came from the University dairy. The burgers are a ground pork/bacon blend that is just amazing, and the brats are a "special"...- tander28

Hot and Fast Brisket Fail (Sort of)
I cooked my first hot and fast brisket over 4th of July weekend, and I'm just now getting around to posting. My notes: 8.5 lb brisket. Injected the night before with soy sauce, salt, sugar, water reduction through the plastic. Rubbed right before the smoker with Meat Church Holy Cow and Gospel... -
Camp Chef Wings, Potatoes and Filet with Q View
It was a pretty quiet weekend around the smoker, but I did manage to put together one quick meal on Sunday. Thawed a pack of wings we bought a few weeks ago along with one of those crappy packaged bacon wrapped filets (it was $2, so couldn't pass it up). We had some potatoes on the verge of...- tander28

Grilled Pork Chops Five Ways with Grilled Corn on the Cob
Inspired by @SmokinVOLfan , I wanted to grill up some pork chops. We've gotten a ton of them on sale recently, as people seem to be snatching up chicken breasts and leaving the lean pork chops behind. Fine by me! I had some time, so I decided to have a little fun with it. I thawed five boneless...- tander28

How to Cook a Small Whole Brisket?
I've done 4-5 briskets at this point, but each one has been more in the 11-15 lb. range. Briskets were on sale locally, so I picked up two (emphasis on the pickup part, never saw them until they were loaded in my trunk). I requested 12 pounders, but ended up with two in the 8.5-9 lb. range. They... -
Hot Smoked Chicken (bonus pics of charcoal chimney steak)
It was a big weekend of cooking in my household, no particular reason other than to stave off boredom and it is something we both enjoy! Our local university has it's own dairy that sells meat, eggs, cheese, and ice cream. We love supporting it whenever we can, and snatched up a couple whole... -
Spare Ribs with Q View
I showed you what I did with the trimmings (https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/spare-rib-trimmings-turned-into-pasta-pizza-sauce.298977/), now time for the main course! Spares rinsed, trimmed St. Louis style with the membrane pulled and seasoned up with Meat Church Honey Hog and Gospel... -
Spare Rib Trimmings Turned into Pasta/Pizza Sauce
Spare ribs have been one of the few meat items that has been both available and well priced during this pandemic, so I've bought quite a few racks. I'm typically left with a pound of meat in trimmings from these racks--which surprises me every time. I've done a few different things with them... -
Bourbon BBQ Mac Biscuit Pie
Shoutout to this post from @SmokinVOLfan for the inspiration. I had some leftover pulled pork and bourbon BBQ sauce, and loved the idea of stuffing it in a biscuit. But I had a LOT of leftover pork, and I wanted to push the ratio a bit and try for a bigger version--biscuit pie. Mac and cheese... -
Two Brisket Cooks
Brisket isn't easy to get for a decent price where I live for whatever reason. My local Dillons (Kroger) had them on sale for $2.99/lb for choice, and since that is about as good as it gets here, I grabbed two. I've had hit or miss luck with Dillons brisket as far as quality/marbling, but these... -
Playing Catch Up - A few different cooks from the last two weeks (with pics)
Been behind on my posting as of late. No real reason, just in a bit of a funk with everything going on. I have still certainly been plenty active on the cooking front! A few of my favorites from the last few weeks below. Dry brined roasted chicken--all credit to my wife. Crispy skin, juicy...- tander28

Baby Back Ribs (a few diff smokes, including my best rack of ribs ever)
Our local Dillons was running a special on baby backs a few weeks back, something like $1.99/lb. I bought 3-4 racks and have tried a few different techniques, but the one I detail below (and pictured), were my best two racks. One rack in particular was my best rack of ribs ever, including...
