I had the chance to cure some pork belly at home and when it came time to smoke it, my wife asked me to make some wings at the same time. The pork belly went on the Smokefire and the wings on the kettle.

I was asked to bring an appetizer to my brothers house on Christmas and I just had to make belly burnt ends!! We have a local butcher shop that always has 4-5 lb. slabs of pork belly, so we grabbed 5 lbs. and went to work. I cut the belly into strips and seasoned it with Heim Burnt Ends dry rub...

It was on the list to weigh the whole thing once it was done aging and then weigh the steaks to see what was the actual net weight but after 55 days my memory failed !

I saw this and had to try it ... not exciting but it was good. (1) block of cream cheese with everything bagel seasoning. On the pellet grill at 225 for (2) hours. Put it some stale bread while it was still warm !!

My and wife I decided last minute to cook something on the pellet grill for Memorial Day. Wild Fork Foods just opened a store in Long Island, NY about 25 minutes from us so we took a ride to check it out. I guess I expected a "butcher shop" type set up but all the food frozen. Our choice was a...

Thank you. That's my 1968 Chris Craft Commander 31 Express.

Just a thought that woke me up ..... someday when the electronic parts are longer available for my EX-6 can I make some mods and use charcoal.

The solo stove is the "Yukon" the inside of the drum measures 24" but there is a trim ring that sits on top that has an inside dimension of 20 1/2". The grate and cover should fit. I had to flip the trim ring upside down for the santa maria grill to fit. I can send some pictures later in the...
