    Al Pastor Tacos

    Decided to do up some Al Pastor tacos for the big game. I used a modified version of @chilerelleno recipe for the marinade. I marinaded for about 30 hours mainly just because of my schedule . My modifications were that I used Guajilla Paste (Frontera/RIck Bayless brand) in substitute for...

    Christmas Eve Brisket

    Picked up a nice 8.9lb brisket which was mostly a big flat with a little point. It was a choice grade but very flexible and tender in the package. I prepped it up with Jeffs Texas Rub and some beef broth for a night in the fridge. Put it in at 5:30am. Smoked with Lumberjack Oake and...

    Pork Butts

    Hi gang, got some butts going and they're "looking" fabulous. I'm close to the 4 hour mark (20min to go)and I'm only at 113* on the smaller one, and 108* on the bigger. I'm not going to hit 140* in that safety zone. My concern is that I injected and this is dragging. The smoker has been at...

    Sunday Beef back ribs

    I had a go at some beef back ribs yesterday. My oven broke, waiting on my new igniter so this is a perfect time to smoke. I picked up a 3 bone in tact back and also 3 bone separated. Slim pickings and they weren't the meatiest. But they sure tasted amazing. Prepped them with dijon mustard...

    Cold Smoke on the Smokepro STX

    I decided to try a few blocks of cheese again after my first attempt a few weeks back was not the greatest. Smoke was thick and my duration was too long i feel. I pulled the ash drop open and removed the heat shields. Placed my Amazn tube down by the opening with a small fan blowing into it...

    Easter Chuckie Burnt Ends

    Had a go at chuckie burnt ends for Easter. Loaded up a tuperware with a 2.7lb choice chuckie, worstershire, and Jeff's rub. Took it out at 8:30 and fired up my Camp chef STX, PB competition blend and an Amazn tube full of Apple. I would have preferred Hickory but its all i had. Smoked for...

Chicken was juicy and cooked perfect, just lacked some great flavor. Smoked at 250 for 2.5 hrs then up to 325 for about 40 min. The beans were...

    Pinwheel Pork Loin

    I had a go at fileting out a pork loin and pin wheeling it. Need practice at cutting it out evenly. I stuffed it with sauteed spinach and garlic. Mixed with 5 oz of cream cheese and about 2 oz shredded mozzarella. I wrapped in single bacon strips, covered in some pork bbq rub smoked at 225 for...

    Bbq Sauce Refrigerator Life Span?

    What is the general life span of homemade Bbq Sauces in refrigerators that are not air sealed? I'm sure ingredients play a big part but wondering if there is a guide to refer to. I'd like to make more of my own sauces but volume will depend on life.

    Barbacoa Co4ch D4ve recipe

    So i gave this recipe from @Co4ch D4ve a whirl and man did it deliver. The one alteration i made to the rub was excluding ground jalapeno and added a dash of smoked paprika, due to what i had on hand. As he says, rub will make more than you need so i saved it for another day. Rubbed and...
