I swear, one did include a grill 😉 Startedwith Saturday dinner, grilled a blackened salmon filet, and then we made a Salmon BLT with it. And had my favorite chips with it - Funyun flavored Lays Wavy, yum

Some NY strips on the WSK last night, had a friend over to watch the NCAA Tournament. He’s a big UConn fan so great night for him !! Didn’t get a plated pic, but had them with grilled asparagus and some Asian soy noodles

I’ve been dying to try this for so long, and NYE seemed like the perfect time. Had two other couples over for dinner, they’re always happy to be our “test subjects “. Soaked the cloth in red wine, as Raichlen does, and added some dried oregano to the salt. Two of them wrapped, I decided to...

I posted previously about the new patio, and of course it has to have a fire pit. So we have a cowboy grill, makes a great pit, but also is designed to be a grill as well, as it comes with a grate and even a hand crank rotisserie. So last night we decided to try it out, with some basil-rubbed...

Been planning this project for a while, about 99% done in time for Opening Day NFL. Renovated our whole back yard, put in a patio off of our deck. Part of the plan from day 1 was that one side would be a grilling area, for the Summitt Kamado and the Performer. For now, the Performer is trapped...

Timing was perfect on my home dry aging experiment, Saturday was 42 days for a 25 lb rib roast. Trimmed and carved, ready for the grill. Made some seasoned marrow bones as a side/basting sauce, and smoked some lobster to make a cole slaw.

Hadn’t done one in a while, it was time for a nice meatloaf on the Performer, on a cedar plank.

Have grilled them many times, decided it was time to smoke them. I pulled the meat out of the shell, and dipped it into a wash of melted butter and Old Bay seasoning. Placed it back on the shell, made sure there was good airflow.

Head start this morning, always have to smoke some wings for Memorial Day

Got this from my son….I think he gets it.

Mother in law had to out her dog down this week, decided to bring her a Friday happy hour treat. Quick baby back cook, and some smoked butter on baguette.

But just for a few seconds. My chef friend, Darren, is making a series of videos, showing off some of his recipes. He loves my smoked salmon, so the opening is him showing up at my house, and a few shots of the salmon going on the smoker. I’m the guy in the blue shirt….

Haven’t tried this or heard much about it before, but saw PitmasterX do it and decided to give it a try. Just a sprinkle of SPOG, and onto the Performer with some hickory. Even made some Chimichurri to go with it. Tasted great, will definitely do this again

As Homer Simpson said, it is a “wonderful, magical animal”. So I took another shot at bacon, used the maple bourbon cure from Amazing Ribs, with a final bourbon bath and some coarse ground black pepper. Results were good, feel like I’m getting closer to “getting it”. And my sons turned 22...

So my son is Sports Management major in college, needed to do something sports oriented for an internship. So he is writing for a sports news website, the Game Haus. Specifically, he is the NY Jets reporter. https://thegamehaus.com/author/andrew-callahan/ He started with this article recapping...

Awful weather on Long Island, got cold, windy and rainy starting around noon on Friday, ugh. Cut one cook (salmon) out of my plans thinking we’d be cooped up. Saturday, had a small gap in the rain so did a quick 2 hour batch of smoked chicken wings. Used Pappy seasoning as the rub, came out...

Ok, so my friend has this idea of doing a guys trip, maybe in an RV, to hit a bucket list of BBQ legends Would love some thoughts of “can’t miss” places from the folks here. This is our starter list: Franklin BBQ, Austin TX Snows BBQ, Lexington, TX Salt Lick BBQ, Driftwood, TX Kreutz Market...

Been wanting to do a turkey for a while. Tried one a few years ago and it was just ok, finally gave it another go. No one in my house eats the thighs of drumsticks, so just got a bone in breast. Dry brined the night before with just a sprinkle of fine sea salt. Then in the morning, rubbed it...

NOT A CHANCE !!! But did try a few non meat things in the past few weeks, trying new things. It all started with my chef friend asking if I could smoke some cauliflower for him to use as an ingredient. He marinated it over night in honey, sriracha, olive oil and some other things, looked pretty...
