    I Can Smell Smoke Again!!

    Well, not quite yet. But the Camp Chef is ready to go again! After having a controller switch break couple weeks ago on the Camp Chef pellet, I have been depending on the griddle and propane grill for meals. Kudos to Camp Chef CS for sending a new controller. They were responsive in getting it...

    Checking Out Sam's Today ... Hope $$ is Right

    Heading out the shooting range for couple hours this AM. Have to make sure muzzleloader is ready for hunting season. On the way home plan to run by Sam's and see what deals I can find. Specifically hope to find decent $$ for a brisket, skirt and flank steak and who knows what else. Hoping to...

    Tonight's Dinner ... Forgot Pics ... Stuffed Venison Backstrap

    Finally got around to trying a recipe ... Stuffed Venison Backstrap. The recipe comes from Malcom Reed at "howtobbqright.com". One darn good recipe. Where can you go wrong ... bacon and venison backstraps. My "city slicker" wife is always leary of my venison meals, but this one went over very...

    Prep table ideas?

    I am getting too many toys on the deck (Camp Chef pellet, WSM, Weber gas grill & Blackstone griddle) which means lots of utensils, etc. when cooking. One thing I lack is some sort of prep table to hold stuff while cooking. Since I retired a few months ago and have all that free time (LOL), I...

    Retirement Isn't Bad!!

    Retired this past Friday after 44 years since graduation. My beautiful daughters surprised me with a new deck toy. We went to visit them and drove the Camry, so needless to say the griddle stays with one of them until drive back with the truck. I can't wait to unpack it and get that first meal...

    Pre 4th Brisket

    It's ready to go on the Camp Chef. Only my second brisket smoke. Rub is mixture of SPOG with little coriander. This baby was 19+ before trim. Little bigger than I wanted but you go with the market availability. I believe there will be some left overs. And of course this is hard work and I...

    Sunday Fatty ... The Snow Is Melting!!

    Sun is out! Temps jumped 30F since Friday! My dear wife thought a fatty sounded just right to start our February smokes. 2# of elk burger (from my 2019 hunt), 1# sausage, spinach (she loves spinach in the fatty), portabellas, red peppers and pepper jack cheeses. I think this may be enough...

    Sunday Piedmontese Tri Tip

    This little beauty has been sitting in my freezer since before Christmas. Two pound Piedmontese Tri Tip. Tx Smoker put me onto these a few weeks ago and I am looking forward to the results ... as long as I don't mess it up. She went in the frig with a dry rub of salt, pepper, garlic, paprika...

    Sunday Evening Elk Loaf

    Afternoon looked to be nice, so decided to smoke an elk loaf. Dear wife was going to put it in the oven, but I volunteered to put it on the Camp Chef pellet with some pecan pellets. Nothing fancy. Ground elk with a little "meatloaf" seasoning. Stuffed it with onions, baby spinach and little...

    Piedmontese Beef

    I tend to gravitate to Angus and some of the cross breeds when it comes to my preferred beef selection. But ran across some info and sites for Piedmontese beef. Says it is leaner with more muscle/protein content. Anyone have experience with it? Flavor? How it smokes or grills? I am considering...

    Done with Camp Chef

    I am feed up. Have a Deluxe Pro with a new PID controller installed this spring. It is now routinely stopping heat after 2-3 hours into a smoke. So far everything they have suggested has not helped. Today I was 3 hours into a smoke and it stopped heating. So I putted it into shutdown mode and...

    1st Try @ Pulled Pork ... Eager to Taste

    Okay, just took smoking up in February and I am hooked. Nearly every weekend we have been home has been a new adventure. Family in town so thought I would try my first butt roast for pulled pork. After some research was not still unclear how long it might take for the smoke. So last night @...

    1st Smoked Beer Can Chicken

    For most of you, a smoked chicken is probably nothing new, but today was my first. Just got into the smoking thing with the purchase of a Camp Chef Pro a couple weeks ago. Although it turned out very good, I did learn a couple of new things to build upon. Brined it overnight in a basic salt &...
