So my local grocery store has pork belly on for 8.80/kg or $3.99 a lb. At least up here, that's a smoking deal. Bulk grocers usually sell for $11-15/kg, and this is local grass fed. Talked to one butcher who wasn't sure he could buy it for that price.
So what did I do? I bought 20kg or 44.5...
Anyone have any good chili recipes? I have been really wanting to try a smoked chili lately but am not sure where to begin. I've read both smoke the meat first then add it or get a big metal pot and smoke the actual chili low and slow.
Anyone have any good recipes/experiences they would like to...
There is an easier way to get an excellent smoked turkey with yummy crispy skin too! A number of years ago I decided to use the gas grill with a rotisserie and the A-MAZE-N tube smoker. Set the grill to 350º, use indirect heat, ie no flame under the bird with the tube in the same area. If tight...
Participating in a Chile Cook Off today.
I'm using a variation of my 'Chile's Chipotle Chile' which I've done very well in past cook-offs.
Over the decades it has placed and/or won various categories.
It is constructed as a very meaty chile.
But it easily adapts itself to suit many tastes, so...

this dish came out so good, I had to post and share. My dad is enjoying retirement, and was fishing a stocked farm pond the other day. He stopped at my office yesterday and gave me six beautiful bass filets. So on the way home I grabbed some avocados and fresh salsa fixings. Nothing like...
I’ve done a few of these, and every time I see them in the store, I have to buy them since they turn out so well.
Started with a 2.75lb hunk of meat. That’s your average size dinner plate. Sprinkled with kosher salt on one side, then back into the fridge for an hour. Flipped it, salted the...
We rarely see Tri Tip around here but a few weeks ago Aldi had pre packaged, seasoned Tri Tips on sale so I picked one up not knowing exactly what to do with it.
Meathead's website has a recipe for sous vide brisket pastrami that interested me so I decided to give a variation of it a try using...
I found a couple brisket flats recently for a good price, so decided to try pastrami again. It's been a while, and truthfully, the first couple that I did were good, but not outstanding.
I think I've broken that plane tonight.
This is about a 7-8 lb. flat. (The butcher of a butcher put a nice...

I love snack sticks. They are a perfect snack for my buddies and me when we golf or curl. I was out and it was time for another batch. Here is the recipe I have developed to my tastes.
I use 500 grams (1 pound) of fatty pork shoulder and 500 grams (1 pound) of lean ground beef or game meat. I...
I was eating some of my Maple Bacon for breakfast. I opened an email from my niece telling me how much she liked some Chipotle Bacon I had made for her. As with most smokers, my brain short circuited and I knew I had to make Maple Chipotle Bacon.
I went for back bacon (Canadian bacon to the...

A night away from home without the kids, a night for dinner, a concert and hotel stay.
Now the great thing about this concert is that my wife is friends with Mitch Malloy, Great...
I'm on a mission this summer/fall to run my smoker every weekend. Why? Because I can.
Anyways, Saturday morning I finally got around to building an upper rack (only took 2 years to build something that took me less than an hour) and wanted to season and test it out.
Knowing that my smoker runs...

Costco recently had wild sockeye available for $8.99, which is a sale in my area so I purchased about 10 filets. I like using Costco sockeye (and Copper River when available) because the filets are skin on which holds the fish together during the smoke. Plan is to use alder pucks in the Bradley...
