    Smoked Short Ribs, finished Sous Vide style

    Latest thing I think I have figured out is BBQ beef ribs. I have tried smoking both back and short ribs and have never been able to get them really tender just using the smoker. So now I am using the smoker first for a bit, and then finishing them with the sous vide cooker. I got some nice 4...

    All Pork Belly Porchetta

    Scored a nice big slab of pork belly at the new Chef store in town and decided to do a porchetta. Went ahead and did it in the oven with a bit of a cheat with smoked salt. Came out better than my previous versions. Main difference was using all pork belly and butterflying the belly. My...

    Camp Chef leg snaps

    Let a friend borrow my camp chef 3 burner stove for a big event. This is a model with the folding legs. He apparently had some clueless helpers when he did the event breakdown and my camp chef came back with some of the leg snaps broken. The part I am talking about is the little buttons you...

    Porchetta

    So Costco had pork bellies for a good price when I was in there this week, so I grabbed one up to make a porchetta. Porchetta is pork belly wrapped around a pork loin or tenderloin, with garlic and seasoning in between and then roasted or smoked. I had some pork tenderloin in the freezer...

    Potatoes and Power Tools

    So one day last week I get the report from both the wife and my son about something they saw on Carnival Eats called a Tator Grenade and that they want to make it. Did a little research vs. what they told me and found the way to do this online. Some people use an apple corer to hollow out the...

    St Paddy's sale Pastrami

    I had been wanting to try this for a while and seeing as St Paddy's day was this week, it was time. With the usual sales, this was a good week to try it out without breaking the bank. I picked up a couple extra corned brisket flats on Sunday and made plans to make the Pastrami on Wednesday...

    Smoking at school

    Driving my son home from lacrosse practice today, he is telling me he has been hungry all day because someone was smoking ribs next door to his school, which is about a 2 mile walk from the house. He told me he asked one of his friends (who has been over for dinner) "do you smell that?" His...

    Grilling Pizza

    Between deltadude posting about this and some info from a friend that has one of those wood fired pizza ovens, I had to give this a try. I thought about buying one of the kits for cooking pizza on a grill (http://2stonepizzagrill.com/) or making something out of a steel drum or something. In...

    First fatty tries 8/17

    After browsing around here some, I decided I wanted to try doing some fatties, which I had never heard of before a few weeks ago. I loaded the smoker up with some beef ribs, two fatties, and a batch of ABTs. Here's the ingredients for the first one: 1 lb spicy breakfast sausage a bit more...
