    MMMM, that steak house flavor

    My Red Neck Easter Basket

    I started my first UDS yesterday. I made up the charcoal basket first as that is most of the work. Some expanded metal, bolts, an old grate, some aluminum for a handle and a top from a 30 gallon barrel. Here it is complete with some "eggs." I'm thinking it's a bit tall at 12", cuz that's 5...

    Anyone use Wicked Good Natural Briquettes?

    The fuel I use most often when grilling/Smoking is Wicked Good Weekend Warrior Lump. Great Stuff. I've bought two pallets over the past three years. The last time I got the lump I also picked up a pallet of the briquettes. Naked Whiz really like them. Anyway they burn fine and are easy to...

    Mini ABT racks for Cooper

    I've got two official ABT racks from the Chile Grill people. One holds 12 peppers and the other holds 33. They are both too big for the Mini Smoker, so something had to be done. Stainless steel would have been ideal, but since there was none in the shop and I had some 1 1/4" x 1/8" aluminum...

    Richtee made me do it!!

    A while back I read Richtee's dissertation on pre-burning your smoke wood. Didn't think too much about it. But then I noticed every time I added a piece of dry smoking wood to the fire, the TBS goes away to be replaced by the dreaded billowy white. So, maybe I'll pre-heat the wood on the...

    Blue Fish For Supper

    This is my first try at cooking Blue Fish. I tried two methods. One was a simple brine and smoking the other was grilling. Here we go. This is a fillet just out of the brine. Here it is after about 1 1/2hours. And on a plate. Here is the second piece slathered in mayo and salt and...

    My first pork loin, a 3 pounder

    Here is my first pork loin, butterflied. Here it is with a layer of stuffing smeared on. Trussed up before going in the smoker, with a sprinkle of Montreal Seasoning. Out of the smoker and sliced. The loin was certainly tasty, if a bit dry. The stuffing gave back some moisture...

    What should I do with this?

    My 18 yr. old son and I went fishing today and caught 10 Blue Fish. We now have 20 1/2 lbs. of fillets. Never had Blue Fish but I'm sure some smoking and grilling are in order. Anyone have a favorite way to cook this? I understand it is a fishy fish but then if it wasn't, it would probably taste...

    Blueberry Pancake Breakfast Fatty

    As requested Law Dog, here it is. Do your usual sausage prep, then make some blueberry pancakes. Use fresh wild Maine Blueberries if you can, but frozen is ok. Place the pancakes on the fatty slab, I slice them into strips so they fit nicely. Drizzle a couple ounces of maple syrup over the...

    I think it's a sour cherry tree

    As I was strolling around the vast expanse of my estate, all 1/4 acre of it, I noticed a tree about 3 inches in diameter sprouting from the base of a maple. This tree would be about 15 feet tall if it was standing straight up, but it has so much fruit on it, it is bent almost down to the ground...
