    I like Big Butt's and I can not lie...

    I know, it's a stupid title, but you clicked on it! Thought I found a "smoking" deal (pun/no pun intended!) for butts at the local market at $1.19 per pound until I was reading post last night for $.99 a pound in multiple locations... Well, it's a good deal around here as most sale prices are...

Changing things up a little, putting the rub on (around noon today - Friday), just eyeballing it SPOG equal parts with an...

    Smoked meatloaf?

    Smoked meatloaf? That was the response I got from the wife when I told her that was what I was making with the burger I brought home. I have a feeling after she eats it she'll be trying to get me to make it this way all the time! (Probably not smart at the end of October and already 42* out, we...

    Smoking a Brisket for no other reason than the need for smoked meat! w/ Q-view

    No foil baby backs – 1st attempt with Q-View

    So I picked up some ribs yesterday and I usually do the 2-2-1 method. I typically foil with a little of the spritz that I use (apple cider vinegar and pepsi), squeeze butter, and brown sugar.  I was reading a few posts last night and saw a bunch about foil or no foil. I often have this debate...

    Wings! Wings! Wings!

    I had some left over wings in the freezer from a party and decided why not grill/smoke them! Decided to put a local restaurant sauce on them as a “marinade” (Arizona Ranch if you are curious), and then a sprinkle of seasonings (season salt, cayenne, granulated garlic, and paprika for color)...

    Looking for some Brisket advice…

    Most of the briskets I cook are just the flat, somewhere around the 6-8lb range. Usually takes in the 7-9 hr time frame cooking between 240*-260* (250* is my preferred cook temp). I went out and bought a 15.5lb full Brisket as I’m kinda a go big or go home guy… Any way, my question is what kind...

    Beef Ribs on the Kamado! (with Q-View) (UPDATED)

    Decided on some beef ribs, as I noticed them at the local market at a super reasonable $2.99/lb. They were the prime-rib/rib-eye steak leftovers from the butcher who wanted boneless cuts on the shelf. Their loss is my gain! One rack seems extremely meaty, and the other is a little thinner of a...

    Bite through skin (breasts) - inspired by c farmer
