Overnight our very favourite butcher's business went up in flames. We've been getting beef for a number of years there, and haven't found any equal to them in our area. We were always treated well there. And now the staff woke up today to learn they are all unemployed. Bad news, for sure...

Finally getting closer to some Spring weather here, and starting to get things sorted. We got up to 9C today. Yay. (49F) Replaced the regulator in the Performer, and the charcoal grate. Gave my new vortex a try - it was made semi-locally and at first I thought it was too tall, but it fit...

Today is our wedding anniversary, and our kids found what they thought was the perfect present for my wife and I. A cast iron beer can chicken pan !:D [/URL]Cast iron chicken roaster on Flickr[/IMG] Well it certainly seems perfect for one of us ! Best put it to use. Using a chimney of KBB...

Looking forward to using this little guy. Just got a rotisserie ring made which I still have to work with a bit. My wife just shakes her head. I blame it all on TVWBB ! :D [/URL][/IMG]

Had a couple of monster size pork tenderloins the other day. This was US pork, figured they had to come from Texas. ;) One seasoned with a kibbeh spice mix and the other with a regular bbq approach (mustard, rub, glazed with sauce). This cut is always handy to have around, they thaw and cook...

Inspired by Robert-R's post on Crunchy Tacos (post is here: https://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?71259-Crunchy-Tacos ) I decided to try a similar preparation with a couple of pork picnic pieces. Since they are generally leaner than a butt I thought this might work well. The two picnics were from...

I'm batching it for a bit and can indulge in something that my wife doesn't like - Lamb ! Pretty simple, seasoned with SPOG, Worcestershire, added some diced jalapeno and kalamata olive, plus some shredded fresh mint. Added some oatmeal and egg for a binder. Topped with sauteed onion and...

A quick recent cook with some beef filet on the Performer - 2 pieces seasoned with Silk Road Montreal seasoning, the others with S&P. Served with a simple green salad with homemade caesar dressing and grilled onion. First time I've come across onion like this here, very tasty. Had...

I would be remiss if I did not wish a Happy 4th of July to our American friends on the board. Hope everyone is well, and seeing some of the skills on this forum I know there will be some great meals today. As an aside - I'm watching a CFL game I recorded earlier between the team I follow (BC...

Great weather today... like Summer and we're only 3 weeks past our last snow. Ribs slathered with yellow mustard and Salsa Huichol (cascabel based chili sauce) and some S&P, plus some Butt Rub for Jane. Smoke wood is apple chunks from the in-laws. Here's the before shot..

Hello everyone, Haven't been doing too much cooking outdoors this winter, thought I would share some pics. Finally did another tri-tip. Really enjoy this cut. The butcher I deal with is a processor too. They take cattle from various ranches and process them per order. They also sell from...

I think I bought my CEP-310 in June of 2009. Since that time it's been on the deck (with a bbq cover) for the big hailstorms of 2009 and 2013. Not much damage from 2009, and 2013 resulted in claims worth about $35K. New roof, gutters, etc. Which brings me to today and the latest and...

Hello all - it's been a while so I thought I would post something. Half the time I forget the camera so nothing to show off. Pretty basic meal - haven't done spares in ages so these were trimmed and seasoned mostly with some sea salt and Kevin K's "Butt Rub for Jane". I used a 3-1.75-0.5 cook...

Hello all, Seems to me some time ago one of the members was posting about doing chicken drums or thighs which were coated in fry mix and then baked on a kettle instead of frying them. I've tried searching the site to no avail - can anyone help point me in the right direction ? Thanks !

Here was Sunday dinner. Getting some good use out of the Performer this year. Star of the show - a nice pork rib roast. This was seasoned with salt & pepper, then I mixed olive oil, fresh garlic, and herbes de provence and smeared it over the roast. This was placed on the Performer...

Just a single shot of the grilled thighs. Gotta love cooking on the Performer. So the chicken was prepared by being skinned, moistened with Olive oil, seasoned with sea salt. They were then handled 2 ways. About 2/3 were well seasoned with 21 Seasoning Salute from TJ's. (just about my...

The back ribs went on sale here @ $2.97 a pound, so on the menu they went. Keeping it simple tonight. No trimming needed, I just seasoned with sea salt, and Penzey's 33rd and Galena Chicken and Rib rub. (it's unsalted) Smoke roasted them on the Performer between 325 and 350 or so for an...

This will probably get a vote for most boring pic in the gallery, but they turned out great. We needed to bake a bit and thought we'd try using the Performer instead of the oven to keep the kitchen cool. I fired it up with blue bag K and let them get fully lit. No smoke wood - told you it was...

Hello all, Just did a couple whole pork shoulder picnics. When I was prepping the meat before the cook I got a very piggy smell off one piece. I checked it and there was a gland of some sort near the hock. I removed it as best I could, it seemed to be the origin of the smell. I read one of...

This is my second try at Larry Wolfe's recipe. I think it turned out well. Cooked last night for an event today. Started with about a 4.5 lb bottom blade roast (rarely see chuck here) from the supermarket. Seasoned with sea salt, black pepper, and granulated garlic. On to the Performer...
