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...

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...

Will Weber ever offer different colors on the 26.75 kettle?

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...

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 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.

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...

Whole beef tenderloin on sale at Harris Teeter. Trimmed it up, tied it up and seasoned with salt and pepper and Montreal steak seasoning. Going to use the little roast portion to make chateaubriand later this week. Served up with yeast rolls and horseradish cream sauce.

I am smoking my first turkey tomorrow morning for a work Thanksgiving feast that is set to start at 12. The weather is supposed to be in the 20's in the AM. I have a 15lb bird to smoke. Any tips on how to get the WSM up to 325? I plan to dump in a full unlit chimney, and then dump in a full lit...

Cold weather has finally arrived here in TN and with the arrival of the cold, I was craving some Chicken Pot Pie. Thanks for looking. :)

T-bones on sale at Harris Teeter for 5.99 a lb. Got a nice high heat going with some Wicked Good lump charcoal and had them with broccoli rabe and curry roasted cauliflower. Thanks for looking. :)

Did some homemade pork potstickers with ginger, garlic, bell pepper and green onion and some grilled Sriracha, honey glazed wings.

Marinated a flat iron steak in olive oil, soy, Worcestershire, lemon juice, garlic, basil, parsley, rosemary, and a pinch of cayenne. Fresh out of a 26 hour soak. 4 minutes a side. Came out pretty well. One portion had a bit of sinew running through it but its always a gamble with the...

I usually prefer bone in chops, but Harris Teeter had some 2" thick boneless pork loin chops on sale. Rubbed then with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper, and grilled them indirect for about 20 minutes. Finished them over the coals with a couple chunks of apple wood. Roasted...

We had some people over Saturday night so I made ribs and chicken. Don't think I got any shots of the wings but oh well. 3 racks from Costco for $26. Can't beat it. Seems like it always rains when I plan to smoke. Man's best friends helping me along. 5 hours later. Sauced with...

Unless you want your meat to taste and smell like artificial apple candy, don't use this stuff. Bought a bottle of the stuff just to give it a try and it was a horrible mistake. I apologized to that slab of St. Louis cut ribs that it ruined. I literally ate 2 bites of one rib and my girlfriend...

Got a chance tonight to break in the new member of my family. Went with some brined bone in pork rib chops, grilled corn on the cob and grilled broccolini with garlic, Parmesan, and red pepper.

Saturday morning I woke up and went to the butcher shop. I bought 2 racks of spares to smoke when I got home and 2 nice strip steaks for Sunday night. I fired up the WSM and got the ribs going. The ribs weren't going to be ready until dinner and it was raining so I had the WSM going in the...

Wings in my soy, garlic, ginger, lime marinade and chicken, red pepper and asiago sausages. Samson enjoying his fresh beef bone from the butcher this morning.

Had the smoker going and butt on by 5:00pm last night for a work lunch today. Set my PartyQ to 240 and made sure my Maverick probes were working properly. Everything was just fine until 3:30 am when the maverick alarm went off and alerted me that my smoker temp had fallen to 200. The worst...
