    Finally got to get the smoker out again!

    So it's been way too long since I have had any time to smoke anything. I have been hanging around watching all the good food you guys have been putting up. Stocked up on almost 40 lbs of butts the other week when they were on sale for .89 cents per pound. It's been awhile since I have seen...

    Prime Rib

    I know I'm late but I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas with their families. I decided to do a rotisserie prime rib on the Weber Kettle for dinner. Fun with the family led to the lack of pictures. This is the only way I will ever make this again. I plan to be much more active again on...

    Craiglist score!

    After a long night out last night of concert going and quite a "few" adult beverages with friends, the wife wanted a simple burger to eat. I decided to add some ground lamb to some ground 80/20 chuck and make burgers stuffed with bacon and sharp cheddar. Bacon on the CI. Burger on. Added...

    1st smoke of the year!

    I admit I have been lazy when it has come to my grills/smoker the last few months and have missed it. I have been on at times admiring what you all have been doing. Paid the price today when I took the covers off my Performer and WSM. Had a wasp nest under each cover waiting for me. Guess...

    Rise and shine

    I decided to do my first breakfast cook from start to finish on my Performer. I have used it to make something here or there for the breakfast, but not the whole thing. Getting things started: Sausage went on first. Moved the sausage to a smaller pan to keep warm and started the hash browns...

    It has been too long

    It has been way too long since my last post. There has been so much going on that I have not been documenting anything I have done. Not that any of it has been that great, just standard summertime fare. The grill has been getting a lot of use but the smoker was being treated like the red...
