    Sunday Meal prep - Pork and Beef

    Made pull pork and shredded beef for my meal prep for the week. Started the pork first, a couple of hours later I added the chuck roast. I cooked the shoulder until about 208 and it was so tender. I finally got pulled pork that I could pull apart with my hands. It was so good. Same with the...

    Working the Searwood this weekend

    I did some overnight pulled pork starting on Saturday night. It was on sale at the grocery store and would make for good lunch for me at work all week. I put it in the smoker at around 9 p.m. set at 200. I woke up around 7:30 and put the pork in the drip tray, covered it up and let it ride...

    16 hour brisket on Searwood

    Bought a 11 pound brisket for an overnight cook. Used a drip pan with left over fat from the trim and it turned out well. I probably could have rested it a bit longer, but it turned out very well.

    Overnight Pork Shoulder

    Trying out an overnight cook on the Searwood. A single butt at 220 all night long. I put it on at 10 p.m., won't touch it until the morning. I debated between 200 and 220, but 220 should be fine. Not wrapping and using the pan to catch drippings. One thing I am noticing is how much smoke the...

    Babybacks on the Searwood

    I had a free weekend so I smoked some babybacks in the Searwood. I did about 45 minutes of Smoke boost then smoked the ribs at 275 for about 4 hours. Turned out well, but I probably will either lower the temp or cut back to time because the ribs were almost too tender as they were falling apart...

    First weekend with the Searwood

    I got my Searwood delivered on Thursday. Weber exchanged my Smokefire for the Searwood. I didn't get a chance to use it until the weekend, and boy, I broke it in. All together I cooked wings, shrimp, beef ribs, salmon and grilled some veggies. It was easy to put together and easier to use. An...

    Got the dreaded E7 error on Mother's day

    Yesterday as I was about to make 3 slabs of ribs for my mom on Mother's Day, I got the dreaded E7 error. Luckily I had my trusty kettle to get the ribs done and it was good to fire up charcoal again. I checked all the connections, cleaned out the auger, but still got the same error. I reached...

    Smokefire no longer at Lowes

    This makes the cover and other accessories sale makes sense. I went into Lowes yesterday and didn't see the Smokefire anywhere. They had pellets, but no smokers or covers. I didn't think much of it until I looked online and saw a message saying "this item is not available on lowes.com". I...

    Joining the fun

    I ordered my SmokeFire EX4 today. We got an unexpected bonus at work and instead of saving all of it for a rainy day, I put a portion towards a new grill. The fact that people here are alot more positive about it than at launch and this is the gen 2 with all the upgrades made me take the...

    McCormick buys Stubb's

    I know we have some Stubb's fans here. I am not sure how I feel about it. Hopefully nothing changes with the company. I love their sauces, marinades and charcoal. But great for the Stubblefield family. Has to feel good to get that kind of payday for something you created...

    Getting my Mojo Back, Thanks Tuffy!

    Hello all, I haven't posted in awhile but I have been putting my Webers to use. I got into a bit of a slump with my brisket though. I never thought it was tender/moist enough. This lasted for a couple of months really. Then recently at the Houston Rodeo Cookoff I ran into Tuffy Stone. We...

    Late night, sloppy ribs

    I haven't posted in awhile. Been working a ton and haven't really done the outdoor cooking thing as much as I have in years past. But I did take out some ribs to thaw them out and totally forgot about them until about 8 at night. I did what any man would do on a Tuesday night, cook ribs until...

    A small brisket, sliced and chopped
