First: as mentioned during Smoke Day, I've been out of touch a bit - life ya know? Anyway, we're doing some ribs and beans today. First pics here: . Enjoy the 4th!

life has been getting in the way of my extacurricular activities (as it has a way of doing) lately, and I haven't been in touch as much as I would like. I hope everyone has a great weekend, smokes some awesome tasty treats and enjoys themselves. That's my plan! Happy Smoke Day 9!

Took my most recent slab of bacon to the butcher for slicing yesterday. They had a cute little tri-tip in the case I picked up - just over a pound. Here it is all seasoned up: Sliced up some onion Mushrooms: Also wedged up some potato. Here the meat is seared and off to the side...

Fire up the WSM of course! I had a slab curing this week so it was time to smoke it. Here's the bacon drying last night. And as long as I was making smoke, I figured I'd throw in a couple of other things. I checked the freezer and found some chicken that wasn't doing anything else so I...

Since it was a small gathering for us this year - just four of us - I did a turkey breast and one good sized leg. Brined the turkey in a prepackaged mix my folks gave me a while back. Salt, orange, juniper and other spices etc. Took just over two hours on the WSM pushing 300 - 350. Was tasty...

My neighbors recently bought a couple of pigs at a locker. They've shared a bit of their bounty with us. One of the items they gave me was labelled a 'ham roast'. Wasn't sure what that is, but it looked like slice of the ham through a joint - possibly the dreaded 'aitch'? I wonder if it was the...

My second bacon: I purchased a 4lb piece of belly at a local butcher - skin was off. I cured it using Bob's method plus some maple syrup and brown sugar and a little pepper. Here it is after a week in the cure: flip side: After about 2 1/2 hours it was reading 140' throughout The...

Finally found some pork belly - or as the asian market labelled it 'pork bellie' see the start here And here's the finish: Out of the smoke Peek inside Test Slices in the pan Sliced and ready to stow away for breakfasts to come (I did NOT slice by hand - I have a little electric...

{Plus. I wanted to try posting pics in the new forum} My wife was working last night, so I pulled some stuff from the pantry for my dinner. (Argentinia) Flank steak, that I dressed with chimichurri had an 8 oz piece in the freezer. Did it directly on top of the chimney (Italy)Tomato basil...

Yesterday was the day after for me. No work, wife was gone for the day, nothing on my agenda. Hopped in the hammock, read and relaxed: Under the shade tree: My pal Kiko took the day off with me:

Tried two recipes - both were a hit. I don't go for a lot of sweet, but they were fun and refreshing on a very hot day. The recipes are the same except for the sodas. Found on liquor.com Called for Grey Goose 'Cherry Noir' which I couldn't find. Used Three Olives Cherry, which was less expensive...

My folks are heading out of town Memorial Day weekend to visit friends. Mom asked if I'd do some Q they could take. Yesterday I did baby backs, vac-sealed them and froze them for their trip. <span class="flash-video"><embed allowScriptAccess="never" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"...

Last nights dinner - great idea ,needs some tweaking. First, should have known better but the sauce should go on late, not before grilling. Grilling kind of killed the flavor but it was tasty. Here,s the recipe as I found it: Spicy Hoisin Skirt Steak Ingredients 1 cup quick-cooking brown rice...
