I know I'm late to the PERi-PERi party, but oh boy I'm glad I finally bought some! I recently received an Amazon gift card so I bought a variety pack with four different kinds: Hot, Medium, Lemon & Herb, and Garlic. A few days ago I pulled out a bag of wings I had frozen a few weeks back and...

Last night I smoked a chicken using peach wood I just received with my Fruita Wood order that also included pear wood. I soaked it in a simple salt and honey brine, then stuffed it with onions, celery, garlic, and butter. It was super delicious next to a heap of green beans and rice that was...

I was hankering for some wings, and in the external fridge I remembered I had two packs of wings (22 total) from the last trip to the store, so while the rest of the fam were chowing on hard-cooked dyed eggs, I fired up the grill with my pretend Vortex configuration. I sprayed the wings with...

I know grilled salad has come up on several occasions, and to this day I still think it's one of the best things in life. For quite some time I have been grilling Romaine heads, never foraging into the world of Iceberg wedges or even cabbage "steaks" (which I still have yet to try but will be...

Not much to report here, other than the last photo, which me thinks is the best. Very simple recipe: brined the game hens in a simple salt and molasses brine, then stuffed them with aromatics (onion, garlic, celery) and stuffed herbed butter under the skin. Smoke-roasted with pecan wood along...

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything since a lot has been going on in my life: buying a house, getting diagnosed with colorectal cancer, learning I have Lynch syndrome, two major abdominal surgeries to remove part, then the remainder of my colon (large intestine), and two bouts of...

First, I want to apologize that I only have this one picture of this entire cook, but the sweet potatoes were the only thing cooked on a grill for Thanksgiving Dinner 2013! I traveled with my wife and kids to Boise for the week of Thanksgiving, and I helped my Mom brine her 23-lb. bird a few...

As I recently mentioned, I have taken a new job in Portland, Oregon. Well, once we sold our house in Boise, Idaho and got the whole family moved up here, I was itching to smoke SOMETHING on the Weber! So, after looking at what we had on hand, I decided to cook up some stuffed tomatoes and...

As some of you know, I was very active on here while I was out of work and for a short time after I got my career back on track. But, I got so busy that I stopped posting...but NEVER stopped grilling and smoking! I'm glad to see some of the same folks on here such as Wolgast and Jim Lampe...

I was so pleased with this purchase that I wanted you all know about it! Background: I live in an area that does not provide a lot of options for the grilling/smoking fanatic which I find myself, and so I constantly do research to figure out the best deal I can get my hands on, mostly to find...

I just got my new Smokey Joe Silver today! I have wanted one of these for a long time, mostly for camping and cooks in the park. However, after I completed the assembly, I just realized just how much vertical grill capacity it lacks compared to my Charbroil 14" Table Top Charcoal Mini-Kettle...

This was just listed on CL here in Boise, and after some thought, I went and picked it up for $25. My wife's words: "Honey, that's pretty beat up!". My words: "Nope; it's beautiful!" Not sure what year it is, and neither was the seller. Just shows you how young I am: I have never before seen...

I just made these last night, and they were some of the best chicken thighs I've ever tasted! Ingredients: Chopped fresh herbs: • Chives • Oregano • Rosemary • Sage Granulated garlic Onion powder or granulated onion Olive oil Salt and pepper Fresh bacon Boneless chicken thighs Honey Prepared...

I'm searching for a probe-type thermometer to report the temperature of the inside of my Weber 22.5" Silver. I have one I use for meat (roasts, whole chickens, etc.), and it works great. It's a probe that is placed in the meat and then connects to a small digital unit outside the grill. It's...
