I love cooking whole chickens. My favorite way to cook them is to set them up on a beer can chicken rack. I think it allows the chicken to cook very evenly. One thing I never do is waste a good beer by putting it inside the chicken!
I bought a Char Griller Akorn a couple weeks ago and I've...
I'm cooking a rack of St. Louis cut ribs today. I've read a ton of reviews about Texas Rib Candy so I finally ordered some earlier in the week. It came in the mail yesterday and it really does taste amazing. I got the Apple-Cherry-Habanero flavor with 2X the heat. It's perfectly balanced...
This is the first cook of three that I have planned for this long weekend. First and foremost, thank you to all who have served our great country and especially to the ones who didn't make it home. We wouldn't be able to do all the things we enjoy without your service.
I'm doing some...
Took this week off and went down to the beach with the wife for a few days. Decided to come back early and get settled in so we could still have a normal weekend. I haven't cooked anything on the smoker since the last competition a few weeks back. Our pork and pork ribs really didn't score...
I had been wanting some beer and wings, and the wife is out of town on business, so figured there was no time like the present!
I picked up a bag of 30 fresh drummies and sprinkled with a little Tony's Cajun seasoning.
Smoked in my 270 Sumo at 275 degrees for 45 minutes, flipped and smoked...
We decided to do a brisket and burnt ends yesterday. My buddy found a 13lb prime packer for $40 at our local butcher, that was hard to pass up!
Trimmed it up nice and rubbed it down with my brisket rub:
Ran it at 225 over pecan logs to switch it up a little:
4 hours in and time to wrap...
Our next competition is fast approaching, so I decided I would cook a rack of spares today and play around with plating them. I have never done ribs for a KCBS event, so I want my plate to look really good for my first time.
I cut the spares down to St. Louis cut and trimmed them up really...
Today I am smoking a stuffed pork loin. Stuffing with fresh spinach, fresh mozzarella, and white cheddar cheese.
Butterflied the loin and pounded out so that it was an even thickness all the way across:
Rubbed with some olive oil and S&P, and added stuffing ingredients. I had some sliced...
Today I am cooking 3 pork butts for KCBS competition practice. I've got 2 butts that weigh roughly 11lb each, and 1 that weighs about 8lb. We usually inject for competition, but today I'm playing around with wood selection. I've done some pork ribs recently with pecan splits that took on a...
Hope everyone had a good week.
I'm smoking 8 racks of St. Louis cut ribs today. 2 racks are for the wife and I, and a few friends. The other 6 are being cooked for a family friends' dinner party. I'm also using this cook as my final ribs practice before my next KCBS competition coming up in...
Hello all,
I'm smoking my first brisket this weekend. I have been smoking meats for about 4 years now, and have never attempted it, and today is the day. I have been researching and reading on this site for a few weeks now and have decided upon my recipe/method of choice. Since it's my first...
This weekend I'm cooking 5 whole chickens for folks at work. I put them in a 5 gallon food grade bucket today when I got home and mixed up some of Tip's Slaughterhouse Brine. Poured that over top to cover and into the fridge to soak overnight.
Running them at 275 degrees with hickory...
Good morning all,
I got my new 270 Sumo last week, and cooked some good ribs on it right away. A few guys at work started talking about pulled pork this week, so I signed up to cook some butts.
Last night, I trimmed them and put the rub on. Wrapped up tight in plastic wrap and into the...
Hello all, it's been a while since I've had time to do any cooking to speak of. Now that winter is coming to a close and it's warming up, I'm getting back in the swing of things!
Since I posted last, I've added a new smoker to my collection. I recently bought a 270 Sumo from Grill Billies in...
Today I figured I would smoke a few racks of baby backs. There's a lot of turkey on the menu in the coming days, so some good BBQ ribs seemed like a good idea before the Thanksgiving holiday is upon us.
I'm using 2 very different rubs today. One is my go-to rib rub called Famous Daves. I use...
Some friends and have entered our first BBQ competition this weekend. It's being held in the small town where we all live, and it's literally right in our back yard!
We entered the 'backyard' competition which just consists of pork and chicken. We figured this would allow us to be a little...
So some friends and I have entered our first KCBS event, and it's coming up here in about 5 weeks. We all live here in the same town and generally cook every weekend, especially this time of year. None of us have ever done a competition before, and we're just in it for the fun and comraderie...
It's been brutally hot here in NC this week. I decided on the pork loin because I knew it would be a relatively short cook. I picked up a nice looking 5lb loin roast yesterday. Rubbed it down and wrapped in bacon and let it sit overnight. I lit my fire at 5am with a target finish at around...
