Smoked Red Beans & Rice, Ribs, & Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread
An old friend of mine recently started smoking his red beans and rice and swears by it. That's all I need to hear to give this one a go! Here are all of the ingredients minus the hot sauce and beans. I didn't have a ham shank on hand so I'm just chopping some leftover ham and adding a... -

Hi again all, very long time without posting. I continue to check back in for new ideas, etc but haven't really smoked anything "new" that I felt the need to post for quite some time. Well that all changed this weekend when I bought my first full beef tenderloin from Costco for dinner with my... -
Initial Go at Eric's Hot Pepper Jerky
Well we are trying to clear out some of the meat freezers and using what we've neglected. We're having bottom round roast beef sandwiches tonight (sorry no pics) and just decided to try some eye of round jerky. These were sliced in between 1/8 and 1/4 for starters. Initial go is with Eric's...- briggy

Ground Brisket and Chuck Shoulder Burgers
Picked up another packer at Costco on the way home from work Friday. Lately I've been slicing the flat and turning the point into burnt ends. I had two chuck shoulder roasts in the freezer so decided for something new and different to use one of them - time for brisket point and chuck shoulder... -

Scarbelly Wings and Whole Chicken - First Run on Big Easy Oil-less Fryer
My team bought me the Big Easy oil-less turkey fryer as a gift over the holidays. We've got some decent weather this weekend so I decided I would try it out for a trial run.

Brisket Discount!
The wife picked up this 12.6 lb packer for $1.79 /lb! While it's not my typical Costco Prime, I think it will do just fine. Point separated from flat (burnt ends later): Simple rub with Lea & Perrins bold steak sauce, SPG and Paprika: Five hours in smoking with hickory, probe just... -
Pecan Prime Rib
Had plans to smoke up a prime rib for Christmas but all of our different schedules forced me to weight until today. Oh well, what better way to begin the new year? I believe this is about a 5lb bone-in, we are planning to make an au jus, mashed taters, and asparagus to go with it. Kept it... -

Maple/Cherry Chix in the Gasser with AMNTS
Ok, so I don't have a rotisserie option for the WSM but the Summit turns out some great rotisserie chicken! Starting this out with a quick maple/cherry cold smoke with the AMNTS before firing the heat (yes I'm aware of the 4 hr rule): Firing the AMNTS: Took the easy way out with a...- briggy

Costco Packer with Burnt Ends
It looks like fall is finally hitting in Ohio with a high of 65 today. Feels like a nice day to sit around the WSM! Picked up a 15lb prime packer for $2.89 a pound on my way home from work last night. If you have a Costco near that carries packers, you really can't go wrong! Here is the... -
Spatchcock Chicken & Turkey Breast with Bama White Sauce
Had some leftover Alabama white sauce I needed to use so why not a spatchcock chicken and turkey breast. Both were just killing space in the freezer from a sale so time to make use of them: Backbones removed from both: Added Chef Jimmy J's rub and a quick air dry with the fan. Rub was... -

Baby Backs (Loin Ribs) with No Wrap
Well fantasy football draft day is this weekend. We have a couple of friends coming in for the weekend. Starting off with two racks of pork loin ribs tonight (kind of a meatier baby back). Used a commercial rub on these (Rudy's), saving my pre-made Jeff's for tomorrow on a pork butt...
