    The Greek Fratty

    Hi guys, yes, I love this one too.  The Tzatziki sauce is for topping once you slice a piece off, you dump the sauce on top.  I love it garlicky, so I used a whole bulb.  there is nothing else you need to know about the sauce, it's very simple and absolutely delicious.  I made one for a friend I...

    Bacon cheeseburger meatloaf...OMG

    It tasted more like a juicy cheeseburger, with the fat from the ground chuck and the cheese and bacon inside....with a ketchup/mustard bark on it....man, I want to go make anothe one.  Definitely fun to try out and make for a football game  or guests.

    The Greek Fratty

    Bama, not much other than some rub on the lamb and a container of feta I sprinkled all over it before I rolled it up into a log to be wrapped in bacon.  This is one of my faves because I love feta and tzatziki sauce so much.  I like the sauce to sting, with loads of garlic.  This is one way to...

    Bacon cheeseburger meatloaf...OMG

    A meatloaf on smoke is just a big burger with some egg and breadcrumbs really.  I think this only took about two and a half hours, again I hit it with just the smoke setting for a while, so outside temp affects this.  I then bump it up to 225 to finish.  I don't have any pics of the sliced...

    How to spatchcock chicken

    I haven't done mine over direct heat, I use my Traeger 075 for just about everything.  I do have a Kamado Joe now, so I have been playing with indirect and direct heat for sear and char lately.  Nothing is as juicy as a smoked spatch though, thinking about spatching a turkey this weekend.

    Comp chicken testing...we think we have a winner

    I agree.  Besides, we weren't too thrilled with our chicken, we wanted more smoke in it.  Here's a shot of the turn in box.  We brought up samples for the judges after turn in and the master judge came over to share her thoughts on it, said it was fantastic and that although unorthodox in...
