    Rendezvous style baby backs

    Wide open. Dome thermometer was pegged when I first put them on and stayed above 300 the entire time. The temp up there doesn't matter at all, though, because they are cooking off direct heat of the charcoal and not indirect heat in the cooking chamber.

    Rendezvous style baby backs

    Ha, well to be totally honest with you, the pictures document the first cook on Saturday. I just wanted to try something different and if I failed, no big deal, I was only cooking for myself. I ate the entire rack in about 10 minutes. So I went to Costco and bought a 3 pack of baby backs and...

    Rendezvous style baby backs

    Yeah I used the lower rack so that put the ribs about 18" over the hot coals. It really was so easy and I honestly wasn't expecting to like them as much as I did, but man, I really don't think I will ever do them any other way. As far as I know the commercial rub is what they use in the...

    Rendezvous style baby backs

    I decided to change it up from the way I normally smoke my ribs low and slow for 4-5 hours and I tried to replicate the way that Rendezvous cooks them in Memphis. I removed the water pan from my 22.5 WSM and used the lower cooking grate. Put nothing on the ribs except for some salt and cooked...

    Hanger Steaks and Shrimp

    I have been wanting to try hanger steak forever and finally got my hands on some. I marinated them in some dijon, balsamic, soy, worcestshire, garlic, lemon juice and crushed red pepper. I then cooked some shrimp about 75% through and finished them in the cast iron skillet with, butter, white...

    Spares and Beef Short Ribs

    I used Chris Lilly's Memphis rub recipe for the St. Louis cuts and kosher salt and pepper with some Montreal Steak seasoning for the beef short ribs. No friends coming over today, so I didn't need to break out the Smokey Mountain. Used the snake method with hickory chunks. 2 hours in...

    BBQ Chicken Leg Quarters

    I used 1 chunk of cherry and 1 chunk of apple. The smoke flavor wasn't that strong, though, because they were only on for an hour or so.

    Flat Iron Steak and My Attempt to Copy Publix's Mardi Gras Wings

    Marinated a flat iron steak in soy, garlic, brown sugar, Dijon, red wine vinegar and olive oil. Sautéed creminis with shallots and garlic and roasted broccoli. Yet another failed attempt to recreate the seasonings Publix uses for their Mardis Gras wings. Now these wings were mighty tasty...

    BBQ Chicken Leg Quarters

    BBQ chicken leg quarters for mama's day lunch. I seasoned them with my homemade Memphis style rub and let them go for about 40 minutes and then applied the homemade BBQ sauce. Before I glazed them with the sauce. After the glaze.

    Ok my mouth is watering. Can you tell us more about the mushrooms? Did you use an egg wash and dip them in bread crumbs?

    Wednesday night OTG Pork Loin

    Nicely done. That looks delicious. Never thought of putting my smoke wood on top of the grate. Might have to try that.

    Baby backs and St. Louis ribs - First time without Foiling

    I smoked 3 racks of baby backs and 3 racks of St. Louis cuts over the weekend. I decided to try doing my ribs for the first time without the "Texas Crutch". They definitely took a lot longer than my previous cooks where I would foil them with butter, honey, apple juice etc after about 2.5 hours...
