    Been a while

    It has been quite a while since I have posted anything on here, and some time since I just sat down and trolled through the threads.  I was jolted back into it a couple weeks ago by fellow member TT Ace, who contacted me out of the blue via forum email.  He reached out and said that he and his...

    A-Maze-N-Pellet Tube Smoker review - Charcoal/Weber Kettle & Spares - Heavy Q-View!

    Received my package from Todd at A-Maze-n-Products and could hardly wait to get started with it.  I followed the directions and ran it thru a burn out to get the oils off it before actual use with food.  Having just a short time to play, I decided to do a cold smoke with cheese.  A ton of smoke...

    Need some Caribbean Spiney Lobster ideas

    Throwing a party for a longtime employee of the shop I work at and surprise...they want me to be grill master.  We are having steaks, but the guy requested me to do some of my magic with some lobster.  He asked if there was some kind of lobster wrapped in bacon type of thing I could do, and of...

    Asked to supply a treat for an event so I did Pork Candy

    A local establishment...oh who am I kidding, the bar located right outside the dive shop that I work at hosts an event every Wednesday called "Wine Down Wednesday". It has $20 all you can drink wine or sangria. The doors to the left go into the dive shop - Low Key Watersports. view looking...

    More Cheese Please!

    That is what I am starting to hear around here, so I guess I had better get going on it. At the store last time I picked up a variety of cheeses and some I have never tried and dont really know much about. Goat and Mozz I am familiar with, the British Cheddar tasted good, but what about that...

    WSM & Weber Kettle similarity questions

    Since moving to where I now live over a year ago, the only grill/smoker I have is a 22" Weber Kettle with the AMNPS.  I love the thing, but once "Richard Cranium" pays me for work done at a previous job a few months ago (just venting...sorry), I do plan on purchasing and having the bigger WSM...

    Lobster New Year!

    Decided to treat myself today and start the new year off in a good way, mentally. That began with breakfast At a little diner on the other side of the island - Donkey Diner. Then my buddy and I got together with a mutual friend and went out diving. I will spare the details and cut to the chase...

    Smoked Turkey on the Weber Kettle today

    Work gathering tonight...did some beef knuckle yesterday and brined a 14# bird overnight. The brine I use is a bit of this & that - no real measuring. I dissolve salt and brown sugar in some water, pour in a bunch of apple juice, some Jim Beam, crack up some peppercorns and set the bird in the...

    How about a knuckle sandwich?

    Picked up this the other day when I was on St Thomas. Price was good enough and I needed someghing to make for a work function for tonight. I used a tweaked version of Jeff's rub recipe, gave it a healthy dose...wrapped it up and got it ready for a long day on the Weber Kettle (yesterday)...

    Bacon attempt

    Figured I'd post up the results of my first try at bacon. Todd hooked me up back in September with a sampler of the cure he uses, and I finally gave it a try. Used a butt I brought back from my last visit stateside and here is the result. Cured for 10 days, then soaked to mellow a bit before...

    rolled a fatty and smoked it, started making bacon and then took a nap!

    My gosh...20 years ago that would have been a completely different meaning than it does today.  Started out with 2 Boston Butts that I had brought to the island from the last time I was back visiting family in MN. They thawed and I decided to slice them up to try my hand at bacon.  Having...

    need ideas for an AMNPS mod to Weber Kettle

    Like the tiles says...  I have been having some issues regulating tempos and keeping the AMNPS going using the Weber Kettle. I wish I could just go get a WSM, but that is just not in the budget in the foreseeable future. Any ideas out there?  I'm thinking some kind of an attachment to the...

The mrs says to me this morning... Since my daddy will be here while you're gone...we will probably eat...

They call 'em butts here, but they are NOT butts!  Anyways - off to the local equivalent to Sam's club and 2 shoulders later we got this. Peeled off the skin, leaving as...

    Tarpon anyone?

    Since I have an abundance of these fiesty fish right at my back door - I was wondering if anyone out there has ever caught & cooked them?  Any suggestions on best way to clean, prepare and serve?  They are HUGE here - life 4 & 5 feet and would make several meals! Thanks! John

    Labor Day AMNPS Cheese w/ Q-view

    Seeing as how it's a holiday, and I don't have to do any manual labor here at the villa today...I figured it was a good excuse to do up some more cheese.  Plus our supply was getting low and I love to fire up the pellets and fill the air with tbs perfume! 2 packages of Mild Cheddar, a package...
