    Smoked CSR's on the Weber for My Son

    My son was home from college this weekend, so I threw some CSR's on the Weber and smoked them up for his last night home.  Started with a rub of Rudy's, black pepper, garlic powder, and brown sugar. Smoked them at a really steady 250* for nearly 4 hours to an IT of 168* -- took much longer...

    Venison/Pork Italian Sausage -- "cold" smoked & grilled w/ Q-view

    Made some Italian Sausage a few weeks back using Alelover's recipe.  If you haven't tried his version, don't hesitate; it's awfully tasty! We used Alelover's formula as a base for our venison sausage: 50/50 with pork butt, pork cheek/jowls for the added fat, and fresh rosemary + red pepper...

    Some Quick ABT's for the game...

    Found probably the largest jalepeno's I've ever seen and stuffed them with cream cheese, pineapple, and Italian bread crumbs.  A little heat & sweet combo: Into the smoker along with the BBR's for about 1.5 hours to hold off the troops until the ribs were done -- much later, of course...

    Mule Deer Backstrap on the Cast Iron Kamado

    Just a quick cook over hardwood lump for a simple yet delicious dinner.  Warmed up dad's old restored cast iron cooker: I rubbed the loin cuts with EVOO, black pepper, Rudy's rub, and powdered garlic... I set them directly over the hot coals for about 6 minutes/side... Grilled to a...

    Latest Buckboard Bacon with Q-view

    Cured another batch of BBB because my college kids came home & cleaned out my supply.      I used Morton's Tender Quick #1 and dry-cured for 7 days.  The bacons were rubbed with black pepper and brown sugar.  I decided to soak them for a couple of hours; I normally do this in bowls, but I...

    A Couple of Pork Roasts w/ Q-view

    Momma defrosted a couple of pork roasts and some kielbasa yesterday morning to throw in the smoker.  Nothing too out-of-the-ordinary, but tasty nonetheless. Rubbed with pepper, Rudy's, and brown sugar.   Onto the Weber with hardwood coals and some hickory chips using the indirect method...

    An Actual Grilled Cheese...

    I'm smoking a couple of pork roasts and some kielbasa this afternoon (Q-view on that later).  After getting all of that in the Weber, it was past lunch time, so I threw some soup on the the stove and got set to make a couple of grilled cheese sandwiches.  I realized I had an actual grill all...

    Stuffed Pork Loin was a Hit for New Years! (w/ Q-view)

    I decided to try a fancy pork loin roll I've seen several times around here on SMF.  The trouble was figuring out what I was going to stuff it with.   Many great ideas crossed my mind and my computer screen.  I settled on a corn bread stuffing. I opened it up with a filet knife and spread...

    A couple of Christmas Breakfast Fatties w/ Q-view...

    Made 2 Christmas fatties: one for the office and one for the family. The office version was a new twist to me: the filling was pancakes, sliced apples, black berries, cream cheese, brown sugar, and cinnamon. The second was stuffed with pancakes and scrambled eggs with onions which were...

    Tri-Tip for MNF -- w/ Q-view

    A friend of mine requested Tri-tip for our MNF gathering at church last night.  Up until yesterday, I had only grilled TT.  Thanks to input from Scarbelly & Bearcarver, I served up beautiful TT sammies for about 20 people while the 49ers recovered from last weeks loss with a realtivly solid win...

    "Skinny Fattie" Appetizers w/ Q-view

    I made some "Skinny Fatties" and sliced them to serve as appetizers for a Christmas party last night. This was a group of people who have sampled my ABT's and mushrooms on several occasions, so I wanted to do something different.  I came up with this on short notice. I started by punching...

    Make-up Thanksgiving Turkeys for my Students

    I smoked a couple of turkeys last week for my students because many of them cannot get home for the holiday, and I wanted to give them a good start on the holiday season.  I did this last year for the first time, and my boss liked the idea so much that he jumped in and smoked a couple for this...

    Portobellos For a Vegetarian w/ Q-view

    For the second year in a row, I smoked some turkeys for my students for a little late Thanksgiving/holiday cheer (so many of them are so far from home and miss out).  One of my students is a vegetarian (old Indian word meaning "bad hunter"), so I smoked her a couple of portobellos. It's so hard...

    Smoked Salmon Thanks to My Neighbor!!!!

    So my neighbor gets home from work and asks if I would like some salmon.  He and his wife could only eat half of what they defrosted, and he offered me the other half.  Darn the luck! I fired up the smoker and rubbed some salt, pepper, & brown sugar on the fillet: Got the smoker settled...

    Latest Buckboard Bacon is DONE!

    I found a good price for pork shoulder -- $1.99/lb. so I picked up two.  We have been out of BBB for a while, and I have been distracted by other projects as well as work. I boned them and butterflied them and added TenderQuick dry cure, pepper, and brown sugar.  I have tried other various...

    Brisket Drippings Gelatin for Brown sauce, Demi-Glace, Gravy or ???

    I love this site, b/c I can get typically a simple answer quickly.  I dropped "brisket drippings" into the search tool, and wound up with a great bunch of ideas on what to do with last week's captured smokey liquid love.  The ice cube tray idea is great, but wouldn't work for my application...
