    Baby back and a winter storm

    I haven't posted much in a while so I thought with the weather it was the perfect opportunity. The snow started at about 7:00 AM this morning so I thought it sounded like a good idea to smoke some ribs and have a "cookout" Also instead of my trusty Masterforge propane smoke which sits in the...

    Roast beef with Q- view

    So a few weeks ago I read a post on here  about roast beef after I replaced my drool damaged keyboard I thought I'd give it a try.  Well the first attempt went well and I took a few pics but didnt get the money shot so I sucked it up and suffered through smoking another sirloin tip roast just...

    First turkey X2 - It was a cold, rainy and windy Presidents day.

    I had a lady at my dojo contact me regarding smoking some turkeys.  I told her that I'd never done that but I had done some whole chickens, and said if she was will I'd give it a try for her.  She paid me by giving me two turkeys to smoke (one for her and one for me) as well as 2 dozen farm...

    Baby back b-day with some ABT's

    At Sam's a few weeks ago I found BB's in the reduced rack so I grabbed them and put them in the freezer at home.  Wifes' b-day was coming up and this was the only weekend that the parents could all get together with.  So I pulled the ribs out of the freezer on Wednesday and rubbed them down on...

    Second attempt at whole chickens - first with Qview

    So over the Christmas holidays I smoked a whole chieck for the first time, well, I should say smoked until it got to about 140 then switched to the oven due to weather conditions.  It was outstanding so I though I have to do that again.  Last week I was walking through Sam's and came across the...

    Carbonara / Florentine stuffed pork loin

    Okay so I'm not sure it's either a Carbonara or a Florentine, but it sounded good.I can’t take credit for this idea as I saw it online here and thought I’d try it and put a little different spin. I took a 2.5 lb loin and sliced it to roll it out, spread spinach Bacon and Alfredo sauce...

    Pulled pork, man it was cold doing this.

    Let me get caught up with a couple of q-views.  The first is pulled pork.  I’ve learned a little over the last couple of smokes (done probably 5 smokes of pulled pork since I purchased my smoker last Memorial Day.  I rubbed down the pork shoulders(about 6.5 lbs each)with my rub that I’ve...

    Oktoberfest fatty for the throwdown

    So I started this journey with a few ideas in mind.  I wanted my first throwdown to be a success and I believe I accomplished that.  I had a few ideas that I wanted to try, some were good and some were not so good.  So the idea came about to make Schnitzel into a fatty.  The hard part – how to...

    Couple of fatties with Q

    Just wanted to put my take on a couple of fatties I've seen done already.  The first is a rehash on my first attempt at the chicken Cordon Bleu.  This time I had to grind my own chicken as the local Kroger was out of ground chicken.  It was about 45 % thigh, 30 % breast and 25 % ground turkey. ...
