I was invited to a pig roast party so we went out of town to see friends at this shebang over the weekend. The pig was a 75 pounder, and the gentleman cooking it had built a pit in his yard using concrete blocks (three high)and aluminum foil. The pig rested on a rack of expanded metal. It was...

After struggling with coals spread too thinly for my 6 hour rib cook, Don Reed suggested a smaller basket and sent me here, to see this idea - his basket is shown some ways down the linked page. Well, I took that pic to the local welding shop and asked them to make something like it for me...

So last night (Friday) I dropped by the Freedom Fest at Castle Rock, and sampled a few tasty treats at the BBQ competition tents. I kept hearing people talk about getting a "call" and I've seen the term used on this board - my dumb question is what does it mean... is it a prize?

Okay, so I got carried away trying out different Chinese food on the Performer. My timing was wonky - bit off more than I could chew, so to speak, as I get this urge not to waste live coals… I dollied up my mixed results with fancy garnishes and such, as you’ll see if you can fight your way...

A staple of my farming childhood in New Zealand was ox tongue / beef tongue, which my Mom used to soak, brine, simmer, peel, and serve many different ways. She always acted like this was a meal fit for kings and we were incredibly lucky to get an entire slice of our own. I now have my Mom's...

Yep, neighbors over the road took down their old peach tree and I helpfully suggested they could just dump all that unwanted wood in my driveway. Touched by my generous nature, they plied me with cake and non-alcoholic beverages (they're teetotalers). I'm still on a sugar high this morning, so...

My first cooks were big overnight affairs and I used a full ring and the Minion Method. Obviously I maintained a paranoid patrol of the temperature gauge and needlessly added more fuel throughout. I had my first daytime cook this past weekend - ribs and more ribs. Since I knew I would only...

Corey, per your request, here's my own sate sauce recipe. I use it mostly with chicken, although it's also nice with beef. Jennifer’s Sate Sauce GROUP A 1 ½ cups coconut milk 3 tbsp Mae Ploy sweet chilli sauce or similar 1 tbsp light soy sauce 2 tbsp fish sauce – use the thin type, not the...
