    Day at the falls.

    Yes it is! Its crazy, especially for the fact that there are no seatbelts! Just a safety bar to grab on too!

    Day at the falls.

    Its funny, I live only a half hour away and very rarely go there. I think the season may be over, but if you're ever here, take the jet boat tour in Lewiston. It's only about a ten, fifteen minute drive from the falls. They literally take you into class five rapids! A bit pricey but worth...

    Pellet pooper blows up video.

    A lot of people don't realize that smoke is a fuel and is flammable. When smoke ends up exploding like that, it is typically one of two events. Either a flashover, where the temperature is so hot (typically around 1000*F) that the smoke (as well as other contents) simultaneously ignites; or a...

    Notre Dame Cathedral on Fire

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/live-updates-fire-at-notre-dame-cathedral-in-paris-173732973.html This is just insane and very sad. Hard to believe a structure that has been around for almost 700 years is all of a sudden nearly completely destroyed. Hopefully everyone is/stays safe, and they can...

    Pizza on the Traeger

    Thanks everyone! I think I have the crust down pretty well except when you get to the outer edge, it just tastes bland and wish it got more color to it, so I'm going to try throwing in some spices to get it to taste better. One change I've already made with the dough recipe is I only add in...

    Pizza on the Traeger

    During winter since I couldn't go out and smoke, I decided to try and make some pizzas from scratch. I've been using Bobby Flays recipe for the dough, which I am starting to become a pro pizza tosser. I no longer need a rolling pin to stretch the dough. For the sauce I use San Marzano...

    BBQ Sauce #3 - Bourbon Orange

    I've found that using flavored vodka can pack in a lot of flavor. I attempted making a Loganberry flavored BBQ sauce since Loganberry is a popular flavor around Buffalo. I've tried using both the beverage and vodka loganberry separately to see what adds more flavor, and a shot of vodka in the...

    First PP of 2019

    I've done injections before where I didn't notice a difference in the taste, but it seemed like it added more flavor this time than others. I've never brined any of my pork before so I can't really compare it to that. When it was fresh off the smoker there was a subtle taste, but since its been...

    First PP of 2019

    A couple days after doing my first fatty of 2019, did my first pork butt of 2019 and was by far the best pulled pork I've ever made. I used a combination of Jeff's rub and another rub called Sweet Sensation. Got it from a book I got for Christmas a while ago. I injected it with apple cider...

    First Fatty of 2019

    Thanks everyone! Since I've been on a homemade pizza binge during winter (I almost have the dough tossing down perfectly!), I think the next one I do will be a pizza fatty as long as the weather holds up.

    First Fatty of 2019

    Since I'm on vacation this week from work and finally got some good weather, I figured I'd take advantage and cook me up a Fatty. Plus it was my birthday this past weekend and what better way to cure a hangover then a delicious Fatty! Figured I'd do my signature Fatty that everyone seems to...

    Looking for parts for an old Griswold meat grinder

    One of my best friends was cleaning out his mom's house and found his father's old meat grinder and gave it to me. It had some rust on it so I gave it a good gentle cleaning. Since then I've used it a few times and works great! I was hoping anyone knew where I could find some parts for it as...

    pat it dry or leave it wet?

    I've always gave my meat a quick rinse and pat dry just so when I'm handling it, the juices won't get all over the place. Some people believe there's a taste difference, but I personally don't think there is. Even when you pat dry there is still enough moisture to get the rub to stick. Just...

    Chorizo Fatty

    Thanks! Unfortunately I didnt realize I was low on cheese so I used what was left.

    Chorizo Fatty

    Its been a long time since I've posted so I figured I would come back in style! A good old fatty I did up a couple days ago! Stuffed it with chorizo sausage, jalapenos, onions, and pepperjack cheese. Smoked it on my new Traeger Tailgater at around 250 degrees for about 2 1/2 hours. Came out...

    Combining two types of wood to smoke Boston Butt

    When I mix wood, one of them is always hickory.  I usually do a mix of 30% hickory and 70% other.  I feel as if you use more hickory than the other wood, it would overpower it too much and may not notice a difference, well at least with my experience.

    My first Leg of Lamb (and Cornish Game Hen)

    I only brined the hen. I cooked that to 165 and the lamb to 140.

    My first Leg of Lamb (and Cornish Game Hen)

    Here is the finished product!  I don't remember what time they finished but took about 3 1/2 to 4 hours.  The lamb was good, but now I remember why its been so long since I had it, was never a big fan.  The cornish game hen turned out great though!  Will definitely be making that again!  Loved...
