Started the afternoon off with a couple beers and a few games of backgammon at a local pub. Followed by a few potatoes on the Searwood, followed by a couple 21-day aged ribeyes. Smoked at 225 until they hit about 110, then seared to a nice medium-rare. Smoke flavor was not as prominent as I was...

I think I'm going to make a decision on a pellet grill soon. I currently have an 18" and 22" WSM among several kettles and a gasser. A blunt question...does anyone who has purchased a Weber Searwood regret their decision? I know I won't get the flavor of a stick burner, but I don't want to...

I pulled a pack of teres major steaks out of the freezer for today’s supper. I had not had these before, but I’ll be picking up some more. We found them very tasty and tender. Not many pictures, and no plated pic, but we served them with fried potatoes with onions and roasted broccoli. Top...

Very infrequent poster here. First, Happy Father's Day to all of the grilling dads out there. It was a great Father's Day and we shared some good food. First up, a nice lunch of various appetizers - Smoked Pig Shots with kielbasa, bacon, cheddar, cream cheese, and onions. Seasoned with Meat...

Did a 3lb Tri-tip on the kettle a couple weekends ago using the slow n’ sear deluxe. Temps ran around 250 for most of the cook but got a little hot toward the end. That might have something to do with the voodoo rangers that were flowing. Hickory chunks provided the smoke, Malcolm Reed’s steak...

Anyone in the Greensboro, NC are in the market for a new Kamado S6 grilling center? Fleet Plummer has one for a good price.

Many might know this already, but Oak Ridge BBQ is going out of business by the end of the year. They make some good stuff from my experience and I placed a final order of my favorites this evening.

If anyone in the Piedmont-Triad area of North Carolina is in the market for a 26" there's one for sale in Greensboro. Not mine, just stumbled across it. I'd like to have it but can't justify it...

I liked Chipotle but don’t eat there anymore. I had a Chipotle knock off recipe in my list for a while and with a nice-weather Sunday today I figured it was time to try it. Not many pictures, but the chicken was served over cilantro rice and Mexican black beans. My goodness this was good. Next...

Took advantage of the nice weather this past weekend and did a couple cooks on the kettle. First up was Grilled Sweet and Sour Pork Tenderloin. Main players were the tenderloin, red peppers, fresh pineapple (cut the top off so no one sees the clutter on our counter), and some white onion...

A couple weeks ago I was planning to make a family favorite marinated and grilled flank steak. I was picking up a few things at WalMart and as I was walking by the meat case I noticed they had a package of skirt steak for a very good price. I thought I could just as easily use skirt steak...

Our daughter wanted red beans and rice so I built the meal around that. A whole chicken parted, marinated in Walkerswood marinade (can make from scratch, but this is good stuff), red beans and rice, and Jamaican carrots. Not any in-process pics, but the end result was great.

Anyone on the board from Columbus? We will be heading up to OH in July for a wedding and thinking about attending a Clippers game at the start of the stay. I am wondering if there are any hotels within (safe) walking distance of the stadium. I grew up outside of Columbus, but don't know much...

I hope all of you fathers out there had a great Father's Day. It was mixed emotions today, my wife and kids gave me a great Father's Day but it was also the first without my dad. Couldn't have asked for a better dad. Anyway, I've been wanting to try Malcolm Reed's smoked oxtail recipe for a...

The wife and I celebrated our 23rd anniversary Sunday. I proposed to her (no pun intended) that we cook a nice meal at home instead of going out - not a COVID hangup, just figured we could cook a better meal at home. The plan was for a surf 'n' turf meal with some good sides. I bought 3 prime...

Grilled some Loch Duart salmon for supper with an asian marinade and sesame rice and salad on the side. Grilled indirect at 400 with Kingsford Pro until it hit 125. I've found that to be my preferred temp for salmon - the internal fat is nicely melted and the fish has a soft texture. My...

I'll remember that it always takes longer to thaw my turkey than I think it will.

I would like to solicit opinions on something. My wife has a cousin that over the last couple of years started raising grass-fed beef and, more recently, grass and acorn fed pigs. We bought 1/2 of a pig and picked up the meat yesterday. The pigs came in larger then they originally planned...

Chris - I made your peach-glazed cornish hen recipe tonight except I used a chicken (had one in the freezer) and my kettle (didn't want to clean out the smoker). It was delicious. We made the SYD rub from your recipe (well, the wife did). This will certainly be in our rotation now. Thanks...

Bought some heritage breed pork chops for supper tonight. I used 1/2 chimney of KBB with a small chunk of apple wood for a little smoke. Seasoned them with a KC-style rub, sauced one and left the other one alone. These were from a local farm and I’ll say they were the best tasting chops I’ve...
