I know, I've been on a stew bender recently, but it is so nice to set it and forget it! I picked up a package of chuck steaks the other day from the dog food bin, froze the thickest one for a future project, and broke down the remaining two. Shown here dusted with S & P & garlic & onion powders...

as requested by Miss Barb D. From my Super Bowl Rib Post The mustard Jalapeno is from Steven Raichlen's "Sauces, Rubs and Marinades." and the correct title is: Firehouse Jack's Mustard Sauce. 3/4 C distilled white vinegar 1/2 C beef or chicken broth...

Hi gang - I haven't done ribs in a dog's age and it's been awhile for me to use my mini - it's a Super Bowl win-win! Earlier in the week I made a pair of sauces: a mustard Jalapeno and a ketchup based Kimchi. Two racks of St. Louis cut, bisected to fit. On the left is my mock Pig Salt and on...

Hi gang - It's always a happy day when Cindy grabs something out of the freezer and sez: let 'er rip. Saturday's meal came from our local carniceria: boneless pork leg. I'm not sure if it was shoulder or ham... I also didn't have meal plan; but it's been (relatively) cool and rainy so I went...

I have a Foodsaver sealer, I don't like their bags: failed seal ratio was too high; it also didn't seem to extract as much air. The brand I do like, and can't find anymore, was ZipVac. Highly embossed texture, 3 layer composition and made in the US. My stash is running low and I'm shopping for...

Hi gang - I was out shopping yesterday and Safeway has Lobstah tail on sale and I knew I had a rib eye in the freezer awaiting a special occasion... done and done! before during and after Tonight's meal was grilled on Red Jenny. A recipe I found suggested adding Sriracha to...

Hi gang! The weather has been rainy and cool, and I've seen various takes on this recipe... I thought what better way to take the chill off. And the fact that I had a couple of acorn squash I needed to use. In my head I was thinking some CSRs for a slow and low braise; what I ended up getting...

Hi gang - We were invited over to friends for Thanksgiving, so we got off easy with sides and pies. We did get a turkey from TJ; but it's resting comfortably in the freezer, waiting for Christmas. I HAD to grill something this weekend, so chicken it was on Sunday. Here she is after jumping on...

Hi gang, it's been a glorious, memorable 26 years with my blushing bride: Cindy. The official date was a couple of weeks ago; we scored a nice deal on a cozy cabin in the woods at Camp Sherman, on the banks of the spectacular Metolius River. Cindy has fond memories of camping here as a youngster...

Hey Gang - We've all see this a couple of times before, so I'll try to keep the chatter down. Certainly, if anyone has any ???, I'll do my best for a timely response. Started out at 9#, bone in trimmed to 8# and rubbed w/ Bone Dust Started at O'dark thirty, Minion, with four chunk of...

Let's see if I can remember how to ride this puppy... Hey Gang! It has been way too long. A busy summer of aging-in-laws, my daughter getting married, and general dissatisfaction with my picture takin' skeels. I've been lurking a little and missing our camaraderie over the grill (and beer)...

Link Looks like a one day deal, in conjugation with America's Test Kitchen. You can get extra probes, too.

because I'm using my Mini. Thank you. I'm smokin' a rack of back ribs - no baby here, it was almost 4#'s. Bisected, mustard'ed and bone dusted - into the fridge for an overnight rest and here they are being lovingly placed in the Mini I'm running KC w/ peach wood. This was almost two hours...

Hi gang - I sometimes feel like I'm so clever: put a dab of this or a sprig of that. And than I step back an' think ... keep it simple, honor your roots, respect your elders, etc. Early on, the McBob'wich, once viewed, was something I wanted to duplicate. A simple, beautiful, breakfast sandwich...

Hi gang! Thanks to Mary Teal, I picked up a couple of bags of Kingsford Comp. for a nice price. And, when I saw Rich pimpin' Chris' version of quick Pastrami last month- I was on the lookout for a nice corned beef: I picked that up @ Groc Out, too! Cindy and I are both Ruben nuts. And, now I get...

Hi gang! From a couple of recent cooks - up first is a dizzy chicken, cooked on Red Jenny. I made a lemon, parsley, garlic and oil slather and worked it under the skin. Kickin' Chicken on the outside a little later unbond and resting. I liked the flavor of the under-skin mix, I wasn't as...

It's often interesting, upon reflection, how the day wraps up, compared to the plans when it started. Take my Sunday for example - I wasn't planning on smoking neck bones for a big pot of collard greens, but here I am. It all started out with me thumbing through a new cookbook Cindy brought home...

onto my plate, fortunately! Powdered with Chef Merito and a splash of fish sauce rockin' on the performer - I'm loving the gas assist - lazy assist that I am:) Onion, Jalapeno and 'shrooms in the CI reverse sear/forward sear? after the flip the glow from below and all put...

I like to gamble as much as the next guy, so when I came across this package - I had to see... and it had the nice price Let's see what I got One chop, one steak'ish and the thing in the middle was a slice of meat and bone. Dust 'em up with Pig Salt and away we go. Jim, I saw they (the Pig...
