We really like sausage with penne. Posted a similar cook a month or so ago, so just move on if it's a "been there, seen that" kind of thing for you. This was our Christmas eve meal that Surfer Dude and I prepared while my bride and her mom went to Mass. Fixin's for the sauce standing by...

Won a turkey in our annual golf club Turkey Shoot before Thanksgiving, but since I smoked pork instead of a turkey at Thanksgiving, it didn't go onto the grill until yesterday. Here it is rubbed with KS&P and garlic herb with aromatics stuffed inside (onion, lime, rosemary, I forget what else)...

Good sized pork loin (4.7 lbs) after a 2 hour brine, rubbed with my favorite pork chili rub, and a bacon weave. Wrapped up and comfy. Smoked with some apple. Gettin' close. Last ten minutes painted with a sauce. One of the ones Surfer Dude concocted. After the pork came off, added some...

OK, tri tip I know--cook it all the time. But this was my first with crash-hot-potatoes. I see Lampe bragging about his crashers all the time, and they sure look good; so I decided it was time I figured it out! First, the tri tip trimmed and seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning. I cooked it...

I religiously watch the BBQ Pit Boys YouTube videos. Recently they showed a bacon stuffing, so I tried it yesterday. Here's the link: http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=g-user-u&v=VWw110KmLcs. Actually, that's the mobile site since I'm on my iPad, hopefully it will get you to the right place if...

Found a pack of country style ribs at the grocery, but they were huge. Looked like pork steaks to me so I grabbed them and put them in Stubb's overnight. After that some of my favorite pork rub. This rub has no salt. I usually salt the meat then apply the rub. In this case I thought the...

Nothing I haven't done before or that you haven't seen before. So I'm just displaying pics: no commentary. Thanks for viewing!

Some pork loin chops brined for one hour then seasoned with my favorite pork rub. Getting a sear. One of 'em got a little over carmelized, but #1 son said it was good. Side veggies were zucchinis with onions and garlic. Surfer Dude took over the iPad here. Zukes going onto the grill...

A chuck steak (not the mythical chuck eye steak that Lampe and others claim they get), marinated in Soy Vay. And onto the grill for a sear. Basted with the Teriyaki then off to the side while a broccoli medley got a grillin'. Beef is off and resting while the veggies finish up...

I love this cut of beef. Lots of flavor and very tender. First hasselback potatoes on the grill. Flat iron steaks were simply seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning. Rested for a little over an hour before going on the grill. On the grill for a direct sear. Indirect to finish. Let's...

Had a few cooks since my last post, but they were all the same as previous posts (tri tip, ribs, pork loin, and the like.) Plus cooks on here lately have been wonderful, and I didn't feel worthy, so I didn't post them! Today Surfer Dude picked up sea scallops from Point Loma Seafood for us and...

Family craved burgers for Sunday. 80/20 beef formed into patties with a pat of butter in the middle and seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning. Slow cooking some bacon indirect. Burgers seared and on indirect. Starting some chopped mini-peppers and onions to add to the burgers. Burgers...

Our local grocery (Vons) had rib roasts on sale early in the week for Thanksgiving shoppers, but I didn't take advantage. I went in Saturday afternoon and I saw the butcher stocking the shelves. I asked him if any rib roasts were left. He pointed me to the last one, about 5.8 pounds. He said...

Like others on the forum, we smoked pork for Thanksgiving. We were supposed to be at the neighbors' house by 1 PM on T-Day, so I had to start the night before. After lighting the charcoal (Minion method with some cherry wood), Surfer Dude caught pics of me assembling the smoker, so I'll just...

Hot Drumsticks As promised in another thread, I was on the hook to grill some chicken legs "buffalo style." Well this was not really an authentic hot wing sauce as you'll see. But first, here's the setup. Getting ready for the evening grill and tonight's smoke. Got 2 Boston butts to smoke...

Took matters into my own hands and bought three racks of pork loin back ribs. Rubbed with my favorite that I learned from Kevin Kruger on this forum. I wish I could find the link to it, but moving to this new site seems to have broken some links. Well, here they are rubbed and resting while the...

Oh, and broccoli. Friday night steak grill. Some standard grocery bone in New York strips seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning. I need to get to Penzeys to try something new, but we really like MSS. The diced red potatoes seasoned with fresh thyme, S&P, and EVOO had already been on for half...

Lets start with diced / minced garlic and onion sauteed with EVOO in a hot black iron pan. Add in about 14 diced Roma tomatoes with some fresh basil, fresh rosemary, S&P, and a dash of cayenne. At least I thought it was only a dash ... it turned out a little, well spicy. Adding the Italian...

One of our favorites. Walk on by if it's a song you're tired of. Chicken split open and seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic herb. Yup, in a rut, but this just tastes good! Getting a good sear. I'm not sure those Lodge grill weights (or whatever they're called) do anything, but they look...

Sunset is coming way too early now-a-days. And the evenings are too cool. I think it was down to 59 degrees F. Patio heater on! Lauren prepared a butter-sriracha-garlic herb marinade that the shrimp sat in for an hour or so. Now on a hot grill, direct. Five minutes later or so, almost...
