In honor and memory of uncle Bob egg McGene’s

I’ve been seeing people smoking chuck roast lately, treating it like a brisket and using tallow. Inexpensive and looked delish so I thought I’d give it a go. Only searing was wootsy and spg. Apple wood for smoke.

Broke out my rotisserie for my kettle. Haven’t done a pit beef in a while. Within a small area in and just outside Baltimore there are pit beef stands. Just about every community had one that everyone knew the owner and one another. I have been going to the one where I grew up as a young boy...

Has anyone or does anyone use cast iron as a grate in their WSM? I’m thinking about one but I’m. Curious to hear others opinion. I’m guessing it has to have an effect on the meat, temps and time or even fuel consumption. Thanks in advance for any comments

Anyone have a recommendation for a temp gauges set up. I have a 20 year old Maverick system and I don’t think it is measuring the temps accurately. I don’t trust the lid one. I think it’s time for a upgrade.

Just wondering if anyone uses the cast iron grill on their smoker. I guessing it affects the meat and cook time and flavor. I was thinking like the Craycorts probably adds to the cleaning process with the weight compared to the steel grill type.

No cook shots. Fired up the performer again today and the Spirit. Wife on the Spirit and crab cakes and me on the performer with 2 of the biggest Ribeyes we got from the butcher. She made here friggin potato salad. Never disappointing. We are the dynamic duo. Like the bull ****

I’ve seen a few recipes for this one, thought I’d give my own a run. 8# deboned PB. Trimmed some fat off and cut into about 2” chunks. Seasoned with Meat Church Texas Sugar. 2 chunks of apple in one caddie and finished with some SBR’s original.

Don’t have any cooking pics, only finished and plated. Pizza grillers, jalapeño cheddar brats and burgers with jalapeño cheese. Just turned 60, trying to be good. As good as all this was I only ate this plate. Saving the rest for supper throughout the week. I was 315lbs in October 2024. I’m...

It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted anything, I thought moving to the country would help me slow down, it only accelerated things, so I’m trying hard to get back to where I want to be. like most everyone the last few years have been tough. It started for me in 2019 when I lost my brother...

Every year since we moved out here in the country someone throws a box of some sort of food or the other on our lawn. Not sure if the previous owner and this culprit have an ongoing joke but it’s every year around this time, zatarans rice one year, minute rice the next, box of stove top. I think...
