    Bone in ribeye on mesquite charcoal

    My second outdoor cook after a 2 month hiatus during construction. Ribeye over mesquite charcoal, baked potatoes on the grill, corn on the cob and my wife's famous mushrooms swimming in butter! That hit the spot and rubbed it out!

    Pork chops on a charcoal fire

    Finally back to grilling and soon smoking. I haven't posted for two months while we were doing a patio extension, pavers, misting system, electrical and plumbing. All during the hottest part of an AZ summer. The final part will be the wood fired oven that I will be building from scratch. Here's...

    Is Fig a good Wood to Use for Smoking?

    I use my fig trimmings in the smoker after it is seasoned. It dries out fast, especially here in AZ. I've never smoked with it exclusively, but I have used it with some hard woods like mesquite or pecan.

    I figured I should give a follow up since I posted it in the open forum (prostate biopsy)

    Black Angus buys

    Mother's Day Breakfast

    Mother's Day breakfast for the gang. My part was the meat and hash browns on the Blackstone. Bacon comes out better on a flat top for some reason especially when it is homemade. Not shown is the eggs, toast, fresh fruit, coffee cake and lemon pound cake. A good time was had by all.
