I think I’m in trouble!!
Hey all - I was tapped to do two pork butts for a party today and decided to start them at midnight rather than risk them stalling (as is usually my luck) and not making dinner time. They are two approximately 7 lb boneless butts. I got the smoker up to temp and put them on at midnight. Temp... -
Happy Thanksgiving! Turkey on the kettle
Happy bird day to all from Florida! Here's the run down: 15 lb bird, brined overnight, olive oil on the skin, butter pats under the skin, basic seasoning, stuffed with pear, onion, carrots, celery, oranges and lemons. On the kettle with Stubbs natural briqs and pecan chunks. We'll see how she... -
Another fine day for jerk chicken
rain had finally seen fit to stay away for a nice day in the backyard in the pool and allowing me to enjoy a relaxing day and luckily I had a $5 chicken begging for some home made jerk. Running at about 300* for about an hour now and the pimento wood is smelling sweet. Not to toot my own horn...- gnarbrah

Regular old pork butt
Good Sunday morning. Picked up a 7.5 lb pork butt on sale earlier this week for the family coming over. Got it on about 5:15 this morning. I always say I'm going to start at 3:00 but just don't want to get up that early! Wish me luck in the stall. Went with pecan chunks and Stubbs briquettes... -
Rainy Sunday chicken day
Figures - as soon as I get my back yard done with redneck pool, sun shade, pallet bar, reggae tunes jamming, grills begging for meats, etc we decide to have cloudy, rainy days for two weeks in a row. Oh well guess I'll just sit here and enjoy the sound of the rain and the less than 90 degree... -
Scotch Bonnet harvest day = Jerk Chicken Sunday!
So I finally got around to harvest time before they over ripened and had to make my first official batch of home made jerk using nothing but scotch bonnets and no substituting habaneros. Got about 40 peppers and have another 50 or 60 that are still getting ripe. Used 6 whole peppers NOT seeded... -
Pork butt Saturday
Good morning - WD had pork butts on sale again so we're having some friends over this afternoon. I was "smart" this time and got everything set up last night and set an alarm for 4:00 to get it started. Too bad I didn't hear the alarm. Luckily the wife woke me up at 5. Butt was on the smoke... -
Jerked spatchcock
Hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day - went to the WD this morning and they had whole chickens on sale for $1 a pound so I figured today's as good as any for a bird. $5.81 later and a little prep time making my homemade jerk I'm about to throw it on. My pepper plants are starting to...- gnarbrah

Mother's Day pork butt on the mini
So I scored and my wife wants pulled pork for Mother's Day. Win win. Picked up a nice 8.6 pounder on sale for $11.11 at the Winn Dixie last weekend. Got it rubbed down last night and on the smoke at 8:40 this morning. Hoping for dinner at a normal 6ish hour tonight. Mini is parked at 233... -
First turkey breast mini wsm
Found these on sale and figured why not. Did some creole butter injection and chef Tony's on the outside. Cherry chunks and the winn Dixie all natural briquettes. Hoping to find some more bags of that stuff before it disappears. $4 a bag for comparable quality to Stubbs is tough to beat...- gnarbrah

1st Spatchcock Chicken - Mini WSM or the kettle??????
So I've never done one of these before but with whole chickens so cheap I'm tired of buying pieces! I cut the back bone out, removed the giblets, layed it out flat, injected a little creole butter and rubbed with Tony C's Creole seasoning. This is what I've got in the fridge: Now the...- gnarbrah

Winn Dixie natural briquettes
Picked these up the other day on clearance. Not sure if they're discontinuing them but for $4.50 an 11.1 lb bag they were worth a shot. Anybody else tried them?- gnarbrah

Weber kettle probe
So my wife got me a 22" one touch for my birthday in December and I'm in love with it! Why is the simplest thing the best?? Anyway I'm sure it's been discussed a million times but why doesn't weber incorporate a probe port as standard fare? This day and age anybody worth their salt knows a...- gnarbrah

Christmas Eve Baby Backs
Haven't had time to run the smoker in a while and as luck would have it I've got today off so Christmas Eve ribs and fresh collard greens it is! Went with 50/50 hickory and cherry. Smells really good out here! -
Sunday football jerk chicken AND major question
Sunday on the back porch with football on (go dolphins) and put some jerk chicken on the mini wsm. I am completely addicted to this jerk thing and keep tweaking my marinade. I'm still looking to score some real scotch bonnets but the habaneros are doing in the interim. I'm willing to bet there... -
Jerk wings part two
It's football Sunday so I decided to try my hand at jerk wings again. Still had half of the wings left from last week in the freezer (1.99 a lb!) so I thawed them out and tweaked my marinade recipe. Most importantly added 2 extra habaneros. The marinade tasted awesome last night and smells... -
Jerk wings!
Finally got around to making homemade jerk marinade last night and dumped it in a ziplock with half the wings I got on a great sale! I'm in the 225-250 range and just flipped them after 1:15. They're smelling great! -
Sunday baby backs mini wsm
It's Sunday again and the smoker is going with a rack of baby backs (cut in half to fit the mini). I've got them at 225ish with some nice chunks of cherry in for the flavor today. 2 questions this round: How is cherry for ribs? Thinking about trying no foil - any suggestions? Thanks! Just... -
Ribs in a downpour
So I decided to give ribs another round. Bought a rack of St. Louis style and cut it up to fit. Made then too short for the rack - whoops. Oh well wasn't about to throw them away! Then the typical Florida weather set in. Gotta love the portability factor of the mini. Weather shifted so I put on... -
1st Fatties - Cheese Steak and Mac N Cheese
So I finally had the time to put a couple together along with some ABT's for good measure. They turned out amazing! Cooked to 165 internal and I had zero complaints. I think the Mac N Cheese would be better wrapped in hamburger but the cheese steak tasted amazing. Thanks for all the info I...
