    Pork steaks and baked taters

    Did some pork steaks and taters on the Performer yesterday for a quick supper. Seasoned two of the pork steaks with Season All and then one with just salt and pepper. Nothing fancy on the taters, just tossed them on the grill and kept the temp around 350°. It all came out pretty good. Here...

    Chicken on the performers

    I fired up both performers yesterday and did up some chicken. One was seasoned with good ol salt, pepper and garlic and the others were seasoned with a blend my wife has created which is pretty good. One thing I haven't been able to accomplish is crispy skin when grilling (chicken has always...

    Grilled Philly Cheesesteaks

    Got the idea from a video I watched on youtube and thought what the heck and we gave it a try. I used a piece of top round and put it in the freezer for about 45 minutes prior so I could slice it easier. Seasoned the steak with S&P and then threw them on the Performer to give them a quick cook...

    Ribs and fixins

    Did four racks of ribs yesterday, 2 with my rub and then 2 with some rub that a co-worker gave me. Overall the tenderness and taste was good. I wasn't happy with the color as I left for about half hour and my temp on the WSM was around 270° and couldn't figure out the problem. I smoked in the...
