A friend of mine at work bought some grape wood and gave me some. What's good with grape wood?

But now I am back and I really did miss you all. My new job position and my three girls in college have kept me pretty busy. I look forward to getting back into the mix with you all. Tony

Well, July 4th was too busy for me to do anything for myself other than some burgers, brats and hot dogs. I did a drop-off catering gig for 60 people and then I was traveling all over Indiana picking up my girls from their various summer jobs so they could be home this weekend, and then, we...

Hey y'all, What's up in your necks of the woods today? I have some country style ribs, brats, fatties and even some hot dogs! I am a man of variety today! :lol:

... Entry into the 2008 Madison Ribberfest! With 3 kids in college at the same time, it has been impossible for me to compete. So, my wife sprung for the entry fee into the contest! Yippeeee!

Today I took the oath of the Certified Barbecue Judge for the KCBS! The class was great and was taught by Mike Lake, the president of the KCBS Board. He is an extremely nice, knowledgeable and talented gentleman; not to mention - a BBQ legend in the KCBS. I had a really great time and I...

Well, I decided to get me some beef ribs, fatties and chicken for Sunday dinner. Here is what's happening so far... My Son decided to "school" me on making chicken so he is going to get started soon with some extra wings I have. We will see what he brings to the table... so to speak!

I have been using the wood chunks that walmart sells. Does anyone else use "store bought" wood or do you order online or perhaps cure your own? I am asking because I have a suspicion that the wally world stuff may be "green" wood and causing heavy creosote build-up in my smokers.

Ok, it's Saturday afternoon, me, the wife and my daughters are going to the Indiana Fever game tonight and I have lots of time to kill. So, what does a Q-Addict do to kill a few hours of free time? I am so glad you asked! :lol: I found some thin cut chops, brats and Angus patties in the...

Ok all, I will be updating this post all day Sunday as I cook for Memorial Day. I am cooking brisket, Baby Backs, Brats, Mac & Cheese, Fresh Homemade Cole Slaw and Green beans. God bless all the men and women who serve to protect our feedoms as a nation! 11 lb. Brisket on the WSM. Water in...

Well, this is not BBQ but it sure was good. One of my twins is headed back to IU for the summer to work and she wanted a home-cooked meal before being relegated to the harsh realities of campus food! This is fried pork chops, butter-steamed broccoli, corn on the cob, and garlic smashed...

My newly IU graduated son, Quentin and his pretty little lady came over so I rustled up some grub for them. Here is a link to the pics... Que' For Q!

Ok, here is a pic of my cheapie Meco grill smokin' some brats and burgers over hickory chunks for big daddy! She's old, dusty, wiggly and cheap... but man can she cook! Do any of you guys have any old cookers you still use for more than a holder for your charcoal starter...

I did a cook today for a graduation party. Not for kids... adults who just got their MBA's. I did Pulled Pork, Brats, Hot dogs, Baked Beans, Coles Slaw and chips. I don't have pics of the brats or the pork after being pulled but here are some shots I did get... Graduation Cook The butts...

I just saw on Food Network that Guy Fieri will be at Castleton Square Mall here in Indianapolis this Saturday the 28th at 11:30a. I will be there. Tony

I smoked a 12lb. picnic and a bunch of wings (hot garlic buffalo wings). The picnic got done in 19 hours but that was because I cooked it at 225* the whole time. Not a problem - I had plenty of beer! I used Royal Oak in the WSM and it turned out great! Here is a pic of the pulled pork and a...

I got word today from a friend at work that there was a new restaurant on our side of town that has become the rave! Its called "Just Barbecue". So, I told him that I would check it out this evening since I would have some time to kill. I went to joint, and there were two giant barrel grills...

Yesterday I was furious and bummed out because me Q came out with no smoke rings at all. I used Royal Oak lump for the cook and I instantly blamed it for my lack of a smoke-ringed product. Here is a link to what I call my Sorry-Q!. Today, I thought I would give Royal Oak another chance and...
