    Cured Smoked Pork Tenderloins

    I flavor brine cured pork tenderloins with rosemary, thyme and garlic. Here they are after a rinse and 3 hours of fridge drying time with some white pepper sprinkled on: After about 16 hours of 150ºF the tenderloins looked, felt and smelled done. The only issue was that at that low of a temp...

    Seasoning Dredged Wings

    I tried something new with wings last night and they turned out great! You know how it's hard to season wings on the grill, spice falls off and lots just goes into the fire and the seasoning that does stick can burn? Instead I put my seasoning in a bowl and threw the wings in a few at a time...

    Asian Crunch Pork Burger

    This idea turned out great! The burger was honey garlic pork sausage meat (skins removed) mixed with ginger, garlic, leeks, a Thai seasoning with cloves and a bit of egg and bread crumbs to make it stick. Topped the grilled burger with sweet Thai Red Chili Sauce. The crunch comes from two...

    Brunch Stuffed Pepper Halves

    Cooked this on my keg but I thought I'd share here. Really good. I woke up just before 8 and went shopping this morning. On my way home from the market I came up with this idea. Browned pork sausage meat (skins removed), browned hashbrowns, eggs, tomato, parsley, jalapeno jack and garlic...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens

    I went to see it tonight and I really enjoyed it! We drove an hour to the city to see it in a decent theater. Before I go any further, if you are a fan of the series I suggest going to see it ASAP. It's going to be hard to live in a bubble and not have major plot spoilers cross your path. I'm...

    Cheese Smoke

    I fired up my Weber bullet for a cheese smoke. Ambient temp was around 30ºF and I smoke cheese below 100ºF for a couple hours. After an hour and I had awesome smoke and was holding 70ºF at the dome. Water in the water pan covered by foil, I came up with this idea to help retain water in the...

    Kamado: Smoked Chicken Taco Pizza

    Been a few weeks but I'm back to pizza on my keg. I used my NY style dough 50/50 WW, tried a 5 day cold ferment instead of 10 day this time and made two 16" pizzas. One of the pies I made was a Smoked Chicken Taco Pizza, really good. Picante sauce and fresh cilantro topped with cheese, 1 head...

I liked the dough better, it handled and performed more like it should be...

    Skyscraper Burger

    I made this for a local contest on my Napoleon Mirage charcoal grill (M605RBCSS). It's essentially a 600 square inch SS gasser design that uses charcoal instead. The rotisserie 'burner' hangs at the back and you load lit charcoal in it. It is sort of an inverse Santa Maria grill ... instead of...

    Blast from My Past: Couple Shoulders on the WSM plus Looftlighter Pics

    Fired up the WSM last night for the first time since I bought my Keg a year ago! I even broke out the Guru Smoking Jacket, didn't bother with the ET-73. Set my vents, waited an hour to be sure it didnt go out then went to bed. I used a full ring of the Maple Leaf briquettes and didn't have to...

    Pom Molasses?

    So I think I found pomegranate molasses. I need 5 batches for the recipe for a rib cook I'm doing ... can't mess this one up. Couple of concerns ... the recipe says in brackets concentrated juice. Look at how thick this stuff is .... ? The bottles were dusty and the stuff is brown, not red...

    Jerky: Brine Questions?

    Got my hands on a Bradley digital electric smoker to try out for a while. I think the first thing I want to make is jerky, want to try it this week. Found this recipe by David Lohrentz and I think the brine cure with salt and pink salt is the way I want to go. It states 24-48 hours soak ...

    JD Charcoal Impressions

    Cooked some more mock tenderloins today over Jack Daniels Charcoal (briquettes and oak barrel chunks). Really nice smoke, oh yeah! I dumped into a chimney, removed the wood chunks, then dumped lit chimney in keg. The briqs, imho, appear to be infused with JD barrel sawdust. Took maybe 10 minutes...
