Featured time for some Dino ribs.
Those look great, plenty of meat. Excellent! I can't find good Dino ribs at a regular grocery store around here. If I do find some they look like vultures picked them clean already. For others searching, I have real good luck buying at the farmers market. Just costs a bit more.- philpom

Fajitas
Thank you y'all, I'm humbled by your words. I try to post occasionally so folks know I still have a heartbeat. Beef fajitas are always a sure win. Our daughter will eat leftover meat for breakfast, lunch and dinner until it's gone. Super fast and simple, ironically it takes significantly... -
Fajitas
It had been awhile since we had beef fajitas. Stopped by Kroger and grabbed 3 lbs of skirt, nice and thick. Seasoned with a Rojo fajita seasoning from one of our local super Mercados. Seasoned a few hours before I grilled them. Hot fire on the Weber, took just a few minutes. Delish... -
Hot smoked then braised short ribs
Thanks, give it a try and see. Hot heavy smoke about 350° until you get great color, then in for the braise. I found it ultimately less work than searing, the flavor and color was outstanding. -
Hot smoked then braised short ribs
Thank you, give it a try and see what you think. Gave me much better color in my opinion and gave more flexibility to get things done in steps. I'm curious what you think. -
Hot smoked then braised short ribs
Days away from Christmas and 80°f. Hmmm..... beef ribs! I set the Weber up for indirect and put 2 nice chunks of oak on the grate above the baskets, lined the ribs down the middle. Let them in there while I got the braising liquid ready and until they had nice color. About 40 minutes. Did... -
Brinkmanns first smoke
Wr spend less than 2 months a year up there, I hate the last day every time. This is the front yard, we are at the end of the power line, actually brought the power in I'm guessing about 9 years ago. Nearly 20 years ago it was raw land and we would literally tent camp up there. After a few...- philpom

Brinkmanns first smoke
Got the new "really old" Brinkmann smoker moved up to the other home where it will live out its days right next to the old "newer but still old" Brinkmann just in time for Thanksgiving. Was an interesting contrast. We had all the standard fair, it was a great week. I have some steel truses...- philpom

Shotguns! Can We Chat?!
I knew a group had bought the tooling and was reproducing them again. I have purchased a few thing from them. This guy is 75 years old. I grin every time I pull the trigger. They have a program where you can mail them in and they'll refurb them to new and send them back, maybe I'll do...- philpom

Shotguns! Can We Chat?!
How long have you had that Ithaca? Does it have Scroll engraving on it? They went out of business a long time ago. I love my 37 deer slayer in 12. It's fun to slam fire when we are just out plenking.- philpom

Shotguns! Can We Chat?!
I will suggest a Mossberg 500 or one of it's derivatives in 12 GA due to availability of parts, support, and reliability. I do have an Ithaca model 37 deer slayer with butter slick action I'm fond of but you'd have to go used for one of those, mine is from circa 1951. FWIW- my youngest son...- philpom

Bought a grill for church - big cook tomorrow - warm up
We do post a rebroadcast of our Sunday service, we have a newsletter (email subscription), a regular blog, routine Instagram and Facebook posts. In the past 6 months we have attracted a few new folks. I suspect it will take a year or 2 to build momentum. If you didn't view our photo galley...- philpom

Bought a grill for church - big cook tomorrow - warm up
It has performed well for the church so far. Really no complaints. I can see doing a little indirect in it, normally for church it's something quick, burgers and dogs so far. I could never pull off the same volume on a 22" kettle like I have at home.- philpom

Bought a grill for church - big cook tomorrow - warm up
We recently pulled off a bed build with Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Denton Breakfast Kiwanis club. While our church averages about 15 people on a given Sunday, we had 60 volunteers show up to help. We built from scratch 32 beds for children in need, raw lumber to stained bed. It was a great...- philpom

Most or Least Favorite School Lunch?
While I mostly brown bagged it, usually something called a jam sandwich (2 pieces of wonderful bread jammed together) I did on occasion get to grab a tray of food, meal assistance, single mom. Every Wednesday was pizza day and every Friday was burgers. I remember that because those were foods...- philpom

Thank you! And thank goodness for those salt mine workers creating salt potatoes, we love them. I'm betting you'll like the cabbage, enjoy those mess free and quick salt potatoes !
