    Off the bottle, back on the gas

    I'm back! I have been in this new to me house for a little over two years now. Many many priorities have kept me from getting the natural gas line ran to the deck(I had to build the deck first ;)). I've been cooking on the propane Blackstone griddle to satisfy my outdoor cooking needs. Finally...

    Kielbasa sammich with a little bit of everything

Tossed them on the little Blackstone: Finished together with fresh local cole slaw drizzled with Sriracha, and slathered the roll with Merkts horseradish cheese spread(recommended by our local TV grilling show "Mad Dog...

    Sunday yard bird

    Hi All. It's been a while since my last cook post. I bought a new house and haven't done much cooking. I haven't gotten the gas line run yet so the Genny is just huddled under the cover out back. Memorial Day weekend was three days for me, and I wasn't on call, so Sunday was a good day to drag...

    A random moster burger sighting

    I spent the two weekend mornings cleaning the outside of my truck and decided to treat myself to a giant pizza burger. Two 1/2lb black pepper crusted beef pattys(pre made at the local deli counter), pepperoni slices, parmigiana + mozzarella + pepper jack cheeses, marinara sauce, plus a fat...

    Fun with Little Griddle

    Hi all, it's been quite some time since I posted anything, I thought I'd throw a couple recent pics out there. Picked up the Little Griddle GQ230 for my Genesis. I found it wasn't really getting hot enough with it on the grates so I've been using it right on the flavorizers. It's starting to...

    grillin' in the heat wave

    After a few days of zero-degree(F) high temps last week, we finally had some warm weather: Falling snow doesn't stop the grill! Last nights cook: Quick and easy chicken pot pie in the Dutch Oven. I grabbed the how-to from another cooking site. Easy as can be. It was nice and warm next to...

    tried a new to me way for steaks

    Let me start out by saying I've never really seen the big deal with grill marks on meats. I understand "presentation is everything" in food service, but for me at home it was not too important. For many years when I was regularly using my Smokey Joe I would just flip, flip, flip, flip, flip...

    The chicken, The grill, The bond.

    How in the heck do you keep the chicken skin from welding itself to the grates??? Made my second go-round of Roadside Chicken yesterday(yum). I butterfly the 2 chickens, marinade in the fridge, let them warm up a bit before cooking, marinade a little more before going outside. I get the...

    TVWBB inspired random cooks

    Up until a week ago Saturday I had never heard of 'moinks'. I stumbled across a thread about them and thought "What the heck". So in a hurry up rush to slap a few together, using foodstuff around the house, I came up with these: Store bought, pre-packaged meatballs, bacon, and no name...

    chicken chests in bacon blankets

    A quick throw-together meal last night... It was a little chilly. The chickens looked cold so I wrapped them in some bacon blankets lined with Swiss cheese. Then I put them in a warm place. Once they were warm and toasty, they looked lonely, so I gave them company with some store-bought...

    ice ice baby

    Everything is covered in ice this morning. Everything. Headed out to work but turned around after seeing many vehicles in the ditches, and many many more idiots racing past me. The Weber is looking chilly so it might be a good day to try out the Dutch oven Santa brought me. :D

    cowboy chow

    I've been wanting to try a recipe I found for Dutch oven cooking called Burger Beans and Biscuits. My girlfriend gets home late tonight, it's 21 degrees outside and I'm hungry so I thought I'd give it a go. I used her little, made in China Dutch oven on my EP-330.(I hope there is a Lodge Dutch...
