We’ve got an awesome Mexican grocer in a town about twenty miles from here. Maybe twice a month, they come up with some unique combo of ingredients to make sausages. Buddy and I saw this and had a lazy rainy Friday going on, and decided it was time to make a grocery run and a tavern tour on...

Don’t pitch that bird carcass too soon! Starting to boil it down now, hopefully put 8-10 quarts in the freezer for soup and stuff.

Feel like it’s been way too long since I was a contributor, but I’ve seen some tasty Kettle Fry Chicken cooks lately. I dug some stuff out of the freezer, hit up the garden, and put fire in our Vortex that’s been sitting with no love for too long. Kettle Fried Chicken Cordon Bleu, Caprese...

Been intending to do this post for some time, but since we're gearing up to head to EAA this week and start over I guess it's now or never! Going to be a long post but promise there is actually a bit of Weber kettle action included. I'm going to try to get them up as fast as possible, will...

This summer I've been trying to make a point of experimenting with different breads whenever we fire up the brick oven to make pizza and have several hours of heat to work with. This is a rather different direction from the hearth breads, pitas, etc. you'd normally think of with wood fire, I...

I had to work the majority of the holiday weekend, but got a request to have breakfast for dinner. I rummaged around through the freezers, and found some Canadian Bacon I made from a hog we butchered a while back. so Eggs Benedict is the plan. Got stocked up on charcoal for the season. Not...

I had to work the majority of the holiday weekend, but got a request to have breakfast for dinner. I rummaged around through the freezers, and found some Canadian Bacon we had made from a hog we butchered a while back. Stocked up on charcoal- not name brand, but my local small town grocer...

Finally got a lazy day rain delay, sat down looking for ideas to cook, and realized it's been ages since I actually posted anything- so here's some stuff that I should have gotten up two or three months ago. Get yourself one of these prep tubs. Maybe two. They are awesome. Had lots of...

The other recent Huli Huli posts here were something I just had to try, did a whole bird on my WSM rotisserie with no water pan. It turned out great, but I got no pics as during the course of the cook we went from a low chance of scattered light showers to a nasty severe thunderstorm warning...

Time to get these photos worked up, some of our cooks were definitely inspired by recent posts from others here and were great hits. Christmas morning brunch was Scotch eggs and Bloody Marys with homemade juice from the garden. The plan was to rotisserie a chicken I found in the freezer...

I've had a kettle pizza attachment for some time and come to love the food that could be done with the high temps and wood fire, but was always frustrated that the ideal conditions with it were so fleeting once the fuel was burnt out. Somehow or other a couple winters ago in the midst of a...

Well, I never was much for poetry, but something like that. Have a couple big posts I need to get on here before I get too busy with harvest so here goes. Early one Sunday morning, got a call from a friend who was loading fat hogs and had one that broke a leg and couldn't get on the truck...

My apologies, I had never been on this page of the forum before today. Usually I just dabble in the photo gallery or sometimes search for a recipe or info on a piece of equipment. But I ran across a thread where you guys were talking about the interruptions in the food chain back early in the...

Finally getting knee deep into fresh produce here and being able to make almost every meal with something that's just-picked so been a lot of food stuff going on. Here's a few recent cooks and maybe a sneak preview or two of some things I'll post here later. Charring green peppers, and...

Silly me, didn't get any pics of what we cooked on the 4th of July itself at a friend's place (couple of rotisserie pork loins, and fried 12 pounds of catfish and bass from our farm ponds) but I did have a little more free time the next day for this. Had a small chunk of brisket in the freezer...

Just about to hit the point here where a lot of stuff can come straight from the plant to the table. But we've got some potted herbs that I've been too busy to do anything with and needed a cook to trim a few of them back. Made some chimichurri with the contents of the above container...

Was sifting through the freezers trying to decide what to cook this weekend, and found a small package of beef ribs I'd somehow missed from the last one butchered. After some of the most sensational brisket I've ever had at a Scotch tasting and brisket dinner that a local bar put on recently...

One of my favorite things to do is think of stuff that normally wouldn't be cooked outdoors on a grill or smoker. Well, we cook a lot of French Onion soup around here but since you kinda need a broiler to finish it properly, that's always been a standard oven item. Then one day it occurred to...

It's not been easy to grow any crops in this part of the world this year, but finally have enough stuff ready that a large portion of meals can be done right off the garden. Can't think of a better way to capitalize than this. Have tomatillos like crazy, going to plant more next time and make...

I was busy enough that there aren't any pics of our cooks from the 4th of July week, but ended up with some chicken drums that never made it to a grill then and needed something done with them. Found this on Raichlen's website and thought it worth a try. Melting butter, Sriracha sauce and...
