    Beer.

    I like the picture! Sorry to hear your experience. I've been to the UK several times for vacation and work. Ales are definitely different, but there are some exceptionally good beers like the higher ABV Bitters, imo.

    Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Went to Hodad's Burgers & Brew in Ocean Beach yesterday. They've been featured on Diner's, Drive Ins, and Dives for good burgers, but they also brew a couple of their own beers (off-site in San Diego). Bacon Cheese Burger - it was really good Got...

    Grand Canyon Lodge/North Rim Destroyed By Fire

    Massive fire still burning on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon - the historic Lodge there consumed and destroyed Hopes and prayers for the firefighters, first responders, and the residents. Such a beautiful area - we explored a tiny portion back in 2023. Now, it's all gone. :(

    St Louis Spares .. Favorite method?

    I've never done more than 2 St Louis racks on my smaller 18WSM. I used to smoke, then wrap, then firm via a modified 3-2-1 type of cook. But over time I just do a 'full ride' method as I seem to get better bark. Trim, then mustard slather and dust with rub the night before to set up. Then a...

    Sunday Pork Butt

    Ended the long holiday weekend with a pork butt on the WSM. After trimming I'd guess it was just a tad over 5lbs. Rubbed on Saturday with some honey mustard as a binder and dusted with my own mix of brown sugar and spices. Let it set up overnight. WSM loaded early for a 6am start; Soo's...

    Pork butt on a Weber gas grill

    Before getting my WSM, I smoked ribs and butts on my Vermont Castings 3 burner grill. I worked out a set up for indirect heating and used a tube/pellet system. I got really good results. The only downside was bark - my guess is that burning propane gives off water vapor inhibiting a nice firm...

    Happy 4th of July

    Happy 4th! I've got some SRF wagyu strips to grill up today, fish tacos and a pile of sides tomorrow, then I'm smoking a nice pork butt on Sunday. Got some movies, music, and plenty of cold refreshments for the weekend - it's gonna be great!

    Beer.

    Happy Saturday, everyone! Braved the traffic and made a trip up to Craft Coast Brewing (and Tacos) in San Marcos yesterday. Got there after 1pm, but it was still busy - good sign I guess. Inside/outside seating and a permanent on-site Mexican food truck. Good selection of drafts - no flights...
