    Freezer find bootys!!

    Ok, so I decided to get my prep work out of the way due to a busy evening… I checked my notes from the last “butt work” and found that the taste was recorded as “low”. To up the game, I injected with OAKRIDGE Game changer. Ginger ale, apple juice, and the seasoning. I mixed it according the...

    Ok, Been awhile, but with the Rona crap, and a freezer full of beef, pork, and Poultry, I found buried, a 7lb Brisket flat from April 2020! just a touch of freezer burn, or so I thought. My plan was to inject it with Kozmos Brisket marinade, which is done, and the color when I opened up the...

    St. Louis ribz, Propane, Amazn smoke tray

    I’ll start off by saying I apologize for my last two posts, they were quite shotty, very spotty, and just plain grotesquely even read! OK! Today, since I don’t really have anything planned for a job to do, since were all still sitting around the house, at least us older folks, I decided I would...

    Pork loin roast

    Here we go again! I’m working with limited supplies and equipment, but it is what it is. small, little Tyson pork roast. Red meat here in the Ozarks, given the Covid, seems to be hard to come by! The little store inTheodosia didn’t have any at the time I went it, so I grabbed this..... The...

    I have an idea.....

    OK, short and sweet. I got the fireboard blower and cable to add on to my fireboard thermometer... I have seen folks put the blower right at the firebox vent opening... But i have this idea that I have been kicking around.... Would it be MORE beneficial to set up a blower draft...

    First smoked bird, EVER!

    well, I wasn’t sure what I was going to end up with, but we all ended up with surprised, raised eyebrows! I started out with jeff’s Maple smoked BBQ bird, but I had to tweaked it a bit for a “soft mouth” in the family. I sprinkled thyme, and sage, I let it cook for an hour, and then started...

    Butt time!! 16.97lb. Let’s call it 17!

    well, maybe this is gonna be a fight..... with heat! I’m struggling to get up to temp. I’m guessing it’s the two cold bricks I just put in the CC. We’ll see. Ok! Two butts, I’m using oak ridge seasoning. I always take a family member with me to the BBQ “porn” store, to sample rubs with me...
