Folks, it's been a while since I've posted on TVWBB. I bought a gasser in the fall and I have to admit, grudgingly, that I didn't use my charcoal grill all winter :( The weather was brutal in my neck of the woods this winter, but spring finally started blooming a few weeks ago and I knew I had...

Some of you long time viewers know that my daughter, Lauryn, is a BBQ Jedi in training. She loves to help out with cooks and will be out with me at 5am putting food on the smoker with a smile on her face. When I asked her what she wanted for her sweet 16 party she had a list already. Pulled...

My buddy from Thailand came over the other night and we did a combo cook. He makes the best Beef Panang this side of the Pacific Ocean and I make okay BBQ so we decided to combine forces. Started with 6lbs of chicken Wings (on sale for $1.99lb!!) and hit them with the OM-Sri-Mustard seasoning...

This is a cook from last week, one I'll be making again soon. Started out by marinating some small potatoes with EVOO, Gahlic and Mrs. Dash seasoning and getting them onto a veggie grilling pan. And made myself a little cocktail while I was at it. There's something deliciously wrong about...

I'm going to update this throughout the day as I progress, doing my annual cook for the family while my brother is in town from NYC. Finally got the backyard 100% finished yesterday. We went from a small deck with 4 feet of grass to a pretty good sized space, but it wasn't easy. I'll spare...

I've been doing some chicken cooks lately. I can't seem to get enough of the wings and the legs. --------------------- Wing Fling Started out with a modified OM-Sriracha sauce - marmalade, golden mustard, sambal olek garlic chili sauce and a bit of apple butter bbq sauce. Put my wings in...

I did this cook last weekend, but I'm just getting time to post it tonight... Really simple, but quite good, will be making this again. Started some shrimp off in sesame oil, Penzeys Mural of Flavor and a bit of the Salt Lick dry rub for kick. I also got out some pork skewers we bought at...

My performer side table is pretty stained and weather worn. Any good tips on how to bring it back to life? I've tried using soapy water and lysol wipes with no luck. The search feature doesn't bring up that many results, but I swear I saw something a few years ago on how to clean them up.

I made me a little dinner on the Smokey Joe on the front porch again since our backyard isn't quite ready to go. I'm surprised by how hot this little bad boy can get with just one Weber Mini Chimney of briquettes in it. No thermometer, but there was definite color change going on here. I...

It's literally been a month since I've posted, real busy around the homestead. Fish tank is done, now we ripped apart the old deck and pulled out the cedar hedges to make way for a bigger deck and a fence to make the yard way more private. I did managed to do a few cooks though :) Part 1: A...

Hey Folks, I finally got myself a Smokey Joe, been wanting one for ages and they finally came out with a Crimson at HD in Canada so I grabbed one. Last Friday was my buddy's birthday and a few of his customers wanted to surprise him at his shop to thank him for all the help he gives to...

Really busy week this week at work for me and really crappy week for my wife, so I decided to surf and turf to cheer us both up. Got some t-bones, rib steaks and some lobster tails on sale today. Left the lobster unseasoned in the shell, and hit the steaks with some steak spice on one side and...

The snow isn't quite gone yet around here, but it was warm enough to do some grilling in a sweater. Everybody around here was hungry for some food cooked over charcoal...including this guy who helps himself to food no matter what container it's in. Meanwhile, I had some fingerling potatoes...

Weather finally broke up here and we've been hovering around 2 degrees which has increased my BBQ desire :) My wife wanted wings, so wings she got! Started with some a Weber "Just Add Juice" which I've never seen around here and was excited to find. Mixed it with some OJ, marmalade, sambal...

Hey folks, I've missed you all terribly, almost as much as I've missed cooking on my favourite grill. Life has been busy, and I haven't been cooking much out of doors because we've got lots of snow and it's been -30C for way too long around here. I'm also in the middle of a complete rebuild...

I made a 15lb turkey for thanksgiving you guys, here are some pictures. This was after maybe 40 minutes with Maple Leaf Briq's and 2 chunks of Apple Wood. And this was after a quick flip in direction, about 15 minutes before pulling off to rest. And this was how it got plated with way too...

I've been busy renovating our kitchen for the last 8 weeks so I haven't been posting much, or visiting the forum much for that matter. Had some good weather for a change today and the posts with the lamb chops people have been posting gave me a hankering for them so I grabbed some and cooked...

Over the last little while I've been getting my mom to teach me some of the dishes I grew up on, from her native country of Trinidad and Tobago. She's turning 73 this year and doesn't cook much anymore. I remember as kid that she always cooked allot of food, and she always said it was in case...

The non-profit I volunteer with is having their annual BBQ on Sunday and instead of hiring a company to roast a whole pig for an outrageous amount of money, I've decided to do pulled pork on my WSM to reduce costs (I'm the treasurer :) ) Trying to get an idea of how much pork I need per person...

Beautiful day in Ottawa today. Sunny and 80 and the boss had some jobs on the list for me to do in the backyard so I figured I should multitask. The last few times I've made ribs I've been underwhelmed by the results. They were good, but not as good as they were when I was first starting out a...
