    Baby back ribs on a lovely Friday afternoon.

    Nice weather thus far, supposed to rain tonight. Anyway, cooking up 3 slabs of baby backs. Pit temp = 275, smoking wood is apple.  Got em rubbed up with homemade pig rub and on the kamodo. Time to pop open a cold one and light up a stogie.  I really need to fix the front of the wife's...

    Cooked up an ABT fattie.

    And damn was it good.  Nothing extravagant, 2lbs of Farmland breakfast sausage, 2lbs of Farmland bacon. 2 large jalapenos. 1 package cream cheese. 1 package little smokies. A bit of pork rub.  Geeze, I hadn't made a fattie in a couple years. This one turned out...

    My first attempt at smoked cheese.

    I've read through several cheese smoking threads on here and thought I'd give it a shot. I picked up a tube deal and some apple pellets and froze a couple large trays of ice. Since I really have no idea of how successful this will be, I told the wife to buy some inexpensive sharp cheddar and...

    Grilling some steaks on this gorgeous afternoon.

    What a lovely day. Its 70 degrees, no wind and the sun has been out about half the time this afternoon.  So I'm going to grill my clan some steaks. Rib eyes for my sons and I and a filet for the wife.  Some of you purists may need to avert your eyes.   I like to lightly marinate steaks an hour...

    So what am I going to do with this thing? (bought a pork belly)

    So there we were at Sam's in the meat section. I bought some rib eyes and a 3-pack of baby backs and then I saw them, a bunch of pork belly's. Now I'll be honest; this is the first unadulterated pig undercarriage I've ever bought. So what do you good people suggest I do with this thing? For...

    Gonna cook up a slab of spare ribs.

    Depending on what the weather does I may cook these tomorrow or wait until Wednesday. Right now its 33 degrees, raining and windy. Screw that.  Decided to mix up a rub recipe I used to use but haven't in a good while. Its somewhat different, especially from store bought rubs.  1 cup brown...

    Paella with chicken and shrimp.

    Okay, we had a hankering for something a bit different so I made a batch of paella. I don't think I've made this for probably two years. I actually had decided to make this sometime soon last week. Which gave me the time to order some Bomba rice, saffron and some smoked Spanish paprika. These...

    Guess I'm doing a brisket this week after all.

    I'm actually cooking some paella tonight so we went to Save-A-Lot to buy some vegetables I needed, plus I needed some fruit for Sangria.  Anyway I was cruising through their meat section and noticed a 6.5lb brisket point (choice) for $14.00. Around here that's a good buy so I snatched it up...

    Ah gee, that's not good.

    So the wife brought home some beers from Sam's Club and of course they weren't cold, so I thought I'd chill a couple real quick in the freezer. I of course forgot about them and found them in this condition 16 or so hours later.  At least they didn't bust. Anyone for a cold one?

    Smoking a pork butt this weekend.

    I had intended on doing a brisket this weekend but Hy-Vee had pork butts on sale for .99 cents per pound, so... Made up a batch of brine yesterday morning and put the butt in last night. I'll get this on the smoker first thing in the morning.  This is just the simple brine I generally use...

    Any of youse guys make guanciale, or pork cheeks?

    This might be an item that if i could procure a source for the pork cheek than might get me into the whole world of curing my own meats.  Guanciale is not a meat product I can buy out here in fumbuc, in fact as far as I know I'd need to drive to The Hill in St. Louis to buy any. The reason I...

    Prepped some prime rib for tomorrow.

    For Christmas dinner this year as we have often done I roasted a prime rib. Well, this year I had the wife pick one up for us at Weber's Meat Market  in Jefferson City. Anyway, it was a lovely cut of meat but close to twice the size I needed for our dinner. So I cut a couple of pieces off...

    Turkey on the grill.

    The wife got a turkey at work over Christmas and I thought I should do something with it before it freezer burned. So I brined it for about 36 hours, spatchcocked it, injected the breast meat, applied poultry rub and put it on the grill to smoke. I'm cooking it at about 275 and smoking it with...

    BBQ wings.

    This is the way my wife likes chicken wings prepared. I like it because you can make them on any sort of grill. These are nice and easy to make when we go camping and I only bring a Weber kettle. Marinate wings in zesty Italian dressing and dust with BBQ rub. Pretty straight forward. Brown...

    Good ol beer brats.

    I cooked these up Friday evening. Bratwurst are very popular in these parts and most grocery stores make their own in many different flavors. Some of them are good, some are kind of weird. But to each their own, right?  The wife and kids like these and I like them because its a nice simple cook...

    So what are you smoking? No, not on the pit.......what cigar are you enjoying?

    Howdy fellas, yeah, I'm yet another pesky n00b.  So, beyond my obviously love of grilling, BBQ, brewing, bourbon and smoking succulent meat, I also love cigars, Cuban cigars to be specific. I'm not really cooking anything this weekend, tho I am brineing a turkey to smoke on Monday. But, all...
