    Graduation Party

    I have a niece graduating from high school. We thought that a self-catered BBQ would be fun. So, pulled pork for 100! The party was Sunday, so I spent Saturday smoking the shoulders. I only have a 18.5" WSM, so needed to break out the serious equipment for this one. Fired with hardwood...

    Cedar plank meatloaf

    Ever since I saw Robert McGee's thread "This ain't your mother's meatloaf...", I've been thinking, meatloaf on a cedar plank, what a great idea. So last night I mixed up a meatloaf: 1/3 ground chuck, 1/3 ground pork, 1/3 fresh chorizo, onions, carrots, mushrooms. For spicing, I leaned on the...

    Friday night wings

    I spent all week with a client, my flight home landing at 4:45. Stop at the grocery store and pick up some wings on the way home. A quick toss with five-spice powder, salt, and pepper, and back into the fridge while I get the kettle fired up. Waiting on the fire -- rhubarb syrup, gin, tonic...

    Some weekend activity

    Various cooking over the past weekend... Lamb and pork chops getting happy with a some oregano, aleppo pepper, and garlic. On the grill. At the flip. They were served with a simple tomato salad, no plated pictures, but trust me, they were good. To make up for the lack of a plated picture...

    Pizza--A Test Run

    I love making my own pizza, and I'm fortunate to have an oven that can get pretty hot. I'd like to get even hotter, so I have thought about using the kettle. After reading some posts here, I was inspired to give it a go. Setup--baking stone elevated on charcoal baskets. You can see the smoke...

    Dry aged t-bone

    I was in the mood for a steak this weekend and my butcher had some t-bones they had been aging for about 7 days. Sorry for the lack of action shots. :) Now that's a steak. All it needed was some salt and pepper and time on the OTG. Some grilled tomatoes. Served with some chimichurri...

    Pork Roast on the Rotiserrie

    I needed to play with the new rotisserie again this weekend. So I decided to give a pork loin a try. The loin trussed into shape and rubbed with rosemary, garlic, lemon zest, pepper, and olive oil. On the grill. I'm not sure why I set it up perpendicular to the coals. :confused: In any...

    Holiday Brisket

    I hadn't done a brisket for what seemed like years, so I dialed up one for the 4th. Ended up smoking it on the 5th, but hey, it was a long weekend. :cool: Brisket prepped and rubbed. It was a smallish cut, about 7 lbs. Fired the WSM with lump and some chunks of sugar maple and oak. It was...

    Breaking in the new rotisserie

    I've been remiss about posting and thus have a few cooks to catch up on. First off, breaking in the new rotisserie for the kettle. Even after just one use, I love this thing. To break it in, I found a big, local chicken (5 lbs) and marinated it overnight in buttermilk. Going on the new, shiny...

    Lamb steak

    I'm a big fan of lamb, but my wife doesn't care for it. So while I can only dream of doing a whole leg, my butcher turned me on to steaks cut from the leg, and it's become one of my favorite cuts. Lamb getting happy (with a pork chop for the wife). On the grill. Beautiful, local asparagus...

    Some recent cooks

    Hello -- I've been a lurker for quite a while. I've grilled on Weber kettles for years and picked up a WSM back in 2005. That's when I first discovered TVWBB. I posted a bit on the old site, but mostly lurked. I've been recently enjoying all the contributions to the Gallery, and thought it'd be...
