    Smoked Shrimp?

    Good question, cause I dont know if I can duplicate them. They were served cold..vacuum packed, and seemed a bit oily...very much like a smoked salmon. I am gonna brine em for a couple hours, and then use pecan chips. I will post my results..but have to wait till the weekend...

    My first birds...

    Did my first chickens over the weekend. Took about 3 hours at 225. They did not last too long. Although I had to throw the thighs back on the grill afterwards, cuz they were a touch shy of being done. Breast couldn't have come out any nicer. I used Jeffs rub, and was very happy. Smoked...

    Swiss Independance Day

    The only wood I have so far is mesquite. A gardener buddy will hook me up in the fall with whatever fruit trees he trims down...so we'll see...probably apple, pear and plum trees. I am excited to see what I can get. The store bought mesquite is super pricey. And I want to try out some...

    Hello from Sweden
