    An excuse to drink a dark and stormy on a sunday night

    Ya mon! Did you slice the tenderloins into skewer size chunks before or after marinating. I've been looking for an alternative preparation for tenderloins, and I think I'd like to give that one a go. Great stuff!

    Spatchcocked Chicken and Ribs

    That's an interesting looking rib rack - is it home made or can you buy one somewhere? The food looks great!

    How much lump is enough?

    During my "adjustment" phase, when I was just trying lump for the first time I often made the mistake of not starting with enough and getting dying fires/not finished meat, which led to some angry hungry family members and a frustrated cook. One of the very best things I like about using lump...

    Rib end pork roast

    Hi Mark, I ended up cooking it indirect until it hit about 140, then I rested in under a foil tent for 20 minutes while I finished preparing the rest of the meal (grilled asparagus, oven roasted potatoes, and bread with herbed olive oil). I sliced between the bones and the resulting chops...

    Chicken, Chicken and Brats.

    Agree on the smothered chicken breasts - they just went on my "soon come" list!

    Rib end pork roast

    I was looking for some pork for a weeknight (no time for low and slow) cook and came across a rib end pork roast in the meat section of the supermarket. This still has all of the bones intact and weighs three and a half pounds. Last night I put it in a molasses/herb brine and will cook it for...

    OK, chimney or lighter fluid; when is the appropriate time

    I haven't used lighter fluid in over twenty years. For me it's always the chimney, even if I have to bring it with me!

    Anyone switch to the oven for foiling?

    When I was making the stout pepper beef (delicious by the way), it struck me that once I put the roast in a foil pan and sealed it with foil on top, it might as well have been in an oven for the duration of the cook. This weekend I plan to cook a number of different things and since there's...

    BBQ places in Melbourne/Vista FL

    There's CJ's on Aurora Rd. in Melbourne - used to be a road side stand but when a little Mexican joint in the same lot went under they moved into that building. Last time I was there they didn't take plastic so come prepared. MeeMaw's that Russ mentioned also opened a location on Babcock St. in...

    Jerk chicken

    FWIW, the Jamaican joints here use Walker's Wood. Using the whole jar was the problem. I've been making jerk chicken and pork using that for years. I like it hot, but a bottle lasts me quite a number of cooks. I think making your own (whether it's a rub, a brine, an injection sauce, marinade...

    Introduction & Emergency Turkey Help!!!

    I think you'll be OK using that charcoal. As long as you are careful I'd bet that you can use either method and have a great tasting bird.

    Help : Estimate cooking time for me - standing rib

    Here's an article from seriouseats.com that explains some of the "science" behind this. The author is cooking in an oven, but I don't see why the same principles can't be applied to outdoor cooking. I thought it was interesting, informative, and even entertaining...
