    Beer-less beer can chicken!

    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...

    Texas Rib Candy St. Louis Ribs w/QView

    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...

    Vacation week pork butt w/QView

    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...

    Thursday Night Wings w/QView

    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...

    Brisket and burnt ends w/QVIEW

    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...

    Competition Rib Presentation Practice QVIEW

    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...

    Sunday Ribs 2 Ways w/QView

    Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin w/QVIEW

    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...
