    Freedom Brisket!

    Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! I figured there was no better way of honoring this great country I serve than with a huge slab of beef.  I picked up a 15 lb choice brisket from Albertsons last weekend (it was on sale for $1.99/lb), woke up nice and early and just threw it on the Lang.  Did...

    Albertsons Brisket Sale $1.99/lb

    I just got back from Albertsons here in Louisiana but wanted to pass along that they were having a sale on choice briskets for $1.99/lb.  I picked up a 15 lb brisket for under $30 before taxes, so I felt obligated to take advantage of such a great deal and pick one up and freeze it until next...

    Father's Day Spares....A day early

    I have a buddy that's getting ready to deploy and with it being Father's Day weekend, I decided to have him over and throw some spares on the Lang.  I've been having horrible luck with spares recently (overcooking them) and wanted to correct that before I head to Germany in August.  So I trimmed...

    New BBQ Sauce Recipe

    I wasn't able to cook anything this weekend due to having to study for a promotion test this week, so I decided to create a new sauce when my brain got fried.  It was inspired by a KC style sauce with a few variations.  It's sweet with a nice bit of heat with some smokiness that's attributed to...

    First Brisket in a Year

    It's been a year since I did my last brisket and ever since I got back from my deployment in April, I've been craving it. I wanted to do one earlier but spending time with the family was more important so I stuck with a few short cooks like chicken and ribs with a pork butt thrown in. Well, the...

    It's been awhile since I rolled a fatty, so I rolled 2

    It's been way too long since I rolled a fatty, so I decided to roll 2 to throw in while I'm smoking a pork butt today.  I started off w/ a 2 lb breakfast chub, split it in half and stuffed it w/ extra sharp white cheddar cheese (aged 2 years), sauteed up some red and yellow peppers and threw...

    Pork Butt On, Trying Something New

    Since today is my "Saturday", I decided to throw an almost 9 lb pork butt on for my second smoke on the new Lang 48 Patio.  Decided to try something new and inject.  Late last night I injected (I'm familiar w/ the 4/140 rule but made sure everything was a clean as possible) w/ peach nectar...

    Inagural Smoke on the Lang 48 Patio....St. Louis Spares!

    Seasoned up my newly delivered Lang 48 patio yesterday and took it out for a test drive today in the form on St. Louis spares.  Rubbed them up w/ my pork rub, smoked w/ some peach wood and can say without a doubt these were the best ribs I've made to date. Some beautiful spares trimmed up St...

    Impromptu Chicken Smoke

    Yesterday the Mrs. came home with 2 silicone muffin pans that she hesitantly allowed me to put some holes in the bottom for my first run at cupcake chicken. I also threw a couple of drumsticks in too.  So I threw together a rub that consisted of brown sugar, honey powder, paprika, garlic and...

    Freedom Brisket!!

    I was planning on a nice quiet 4th of July at home having a few refreshing brews while tending the pit.  However a co-worker is leaving and a last second going away was set.  Since I was already planning on doing a brisket, I got nominated to provide the main course. Picked up a 13.5 lb packer...

    Ordered a new smoker today.....A Lang 48 Patio!

    After eyeballing this smoker for many, MANY years, I received a pretty decent size bonus today and was given the approval from the boss to finally get one.  It's going to be a long 4 weeks waiting for it to get finished but I still have my Old Country Wrangler to get me through it.  For the Lang...

    UFC Fight Night Brisket

    Decided to order the UFC fight tonight and have some friends over.  I've been mentioning to them that it's been awhile since I smoked a brisket, so I decided to go for it for fight night.  Here's a 12.8 lb packer all rubbed up and put into the fridge for about 10 hrs. It's a simple rub of kosher...

    Last smoke before surgery- It's brisket time!

    Well, I'm rolling in for knee surgery next Monday and wanted to get one last smoke (my second one on it) in on the new O.C. Wrangler.  Being that I'm going to be out of commission for a bit, I decided to go big with a brisket.  This is only my third brisket, and first one in about 3 years.  Got...

    Maiden Voyage on the O.C. Wrangler-BB's

    Morning everyone, finally made the switch from gas to a stick burner.  I picked up an Old Country Wrangler Friday night and after seasoning it that night and playing around w/ it Saturday, figuring out it's quirks and controlling temps, I decided today's the day to take it out for a spin and...

    Second Smoke Since I've Been Back (Pork Butt)

    Let me just say that it has been WAY TOO LONG  since I posted on here, but it feels sooooo good to be back.  I finally made it back to the U.S. in October after being in Italy for 2 years.  I was able to get a smoke in Presidents Day weekend (spare's w/ no pics, SORRY!!) so I figured I'd break...

    Brining Container

    For the first time I'm planning on brining my turkey this year and I know you should use a food safe container.  Now, here's the situation I'm in......I'm living in Italy and w/ the language barrier, it has become rather difficult to find one of these containers.  As a back up, I've heard of...

    Just wanted to say I'm back.....and NOW armed w/ my Big Block

    Well, after about a 6 month hiatus because of the move to Italy, I just wanted to say that I'm officially back.  The big block (and with that, all my household stuff) still hasn't made it here since being shipped out in early Sept.  It should be here in another 2 weeks, just in time to smoke my...

    6# butt, 13.5 hours in

    Today I'm having all my co-workers over for some que but have never had a butt like this one.  It's a bone in, pretty fatty (didn't trim) and threw it in this morning at 1 a.m. anticipating roughly 10 hours (including the stall), but here I am 13.5 hours later and it's only sitting at 172.  It's...
