    wood boring insects

    I got a nice pile of pecan limbs a while back. Most were about as big as your bicep or so, if you don't work out like Arnold anyway. The smaller stuff 1inch and less has dried and I moved it inside a storage building so it won't get wet/rot. I noticed mounds of sawdust under several pieces...

    fresh whole hog NC style (sorta) in the great white north

    Well, I can finally say I have done a solo whole hog cook. I just had to leave the great capital of whole hog cooking () to do it. I've participated in quite a few all night pig cooks, but always considered myself the assistant, not the head cook for the night. That's the way it goes when you...

    red, hot, and blue

    Since there have been several posts on restaurants lately, though I should throw this out there. A friend of mine started bar tending at red hot and blue in Raleigh, and i told him about my 2 times at the NC State/Hillsborough Street location (there are now 2 in Raleigh). The first time...

    countdown begins plus business thoughts.

    Well, about a week ago, my dad dropped off our cow at the butcher. My sister's family and mine are splitting it. Can't wait. Gonna run us an average cost of somewhere around $1.99 per lb since we get it at cost. He also dropped off another 5 or 6 for other family members. So, I have a...

    bad day to be a fattie & with speedy butts

    Well, I screwed mine up. Got everything going by 6:00 this morning. 2 butts, 1 fattie. Then, I fell asleep on the couch. No problem. I just got up. It's 10:00. I kept an eye on the temps they were fine. But in my dreamy daze, I forgot fatties don't take this long. It's looks bad...

    mojito recipe

    I perfected this recipe over the last holiday, and thought I should share. In 1 glass. Put 4 to 6 mint leaves (less if big, more if small) in glass with a little bit of crushed ice. Grind into a moderate pulp by hand with a big plastic spoon. When ice is slightly green, it's enough...

    pecan score

    I picked up some pecan today from my parents. I was over there a while back and saw they had trimmed the bottom two branches off a pecan tree that was maybe 15 years old. I asked what they did with it, and they showed where they dragged it in the woods. Sweet. I didn't have my truck then...

    Grilldome 2nd cook

    This is my second cook on the grilldome. I haven't tried true low and slow yet, since I don't have the platesetter to keep radiant temps down. The first was a few pork chops. Pretty good, took me forever to get temps up until I figured things out. In the pic above, note the circular ceramic...

    WooHoo new ceramic cooker & questions for BGE folks

    Ok, So I did manage to get the grilldome off craigslist for $50. Looks pretty good and came with the cart. I'm pretty sure it's the smallest one retailing for about $400, so a decent deal. www.grilldome.com for details on the others and pics. Weighs a good deal, and is awkward, but one...

    Grill Dome

    Anybody know anything about these things. Looks kinda like a BGE or Komada, just a different brand? Wife would kill me, but if you are in NC worth a shot. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/for/624433030.html

    First Brisket

    Wish me luck. I'm doing my first brisket. Bout 10 lbs. Also have a 6lb butt on, but unless something goes major wrong I'm good to go on that one. Smoker lit at 5, and TBS out at 6:00, meat in at 6:15. I'm preburning everything as usual for me. Little galvanized bucket I keep on the side...

    royal oak

    My local Wally world has not had royal oak for the last 3 weeks. Is it seasonal, or did they quit carrying it. Before that, there was a pallet in the back. Will they get more, it's good stuff?

    Chucks with q-view

    I have a feeling a few people are going to wonder if this is really pork once they see the pics. I promise it was a chuck roast and never saw a (gasp) crock pot. It pulled just like a butt. I was shocked. I read where a few people complained that theirs wouldn't pull. I checked these two at...

    Jeff's Rub and chuck roast

    I've just bought Jeff's rub, but wouldn't you know it all I have to smoke tomorrow are 2 chucks. How does it go on a chuck? Pretty good. Course, just found out I'm out of paprika too. Dang it!! The wife wants to make a saucy pulled beef. Ketchup base. Any ideas? She has a recipe that is...

    Henckel Knives

    I'm interested in getting a new set of knives. The easiest for me to find are the Henckels. So, I go to linens and things where they carry them. Not badly priced. I was just looking anyway, so didn't buy any. We went across the street to target to look at other things, and happened through...

    Coolest looking smoker ever

    Don't know how well they work, but they look neat. Just down the road from me too. Unfortuantely, a bit pricey for me to try out. http://pigcookersbyralph.com/ralph/ppc4.htm
