    Geek's Chocolate Pig Candy

    So, I'm calling this a Geek's recipe, but I'm sure someone here has done this. I'll take away the name if I offend anyone. I've always thought chocolate and pig candy would go well together. So I gave it a shot tonight. Here's my recipe for pig candy, and the additional process of coating in...

    Young's Ag Vet Supply (Sedalia, MO)

    So I'm a huge idiot.  Every couple of weeks I drive to Overland Park Kansas to pick up Q supplies frome Smoke n Fire (long drive and fairly expensive).  Come to find out, here in smallville Sedalia Missouri, Young's Ag and Vet is a great source for rubs, sauces and other Q needs.  He even had...

    Geek's Basic Brisket

    I haven't contributed much in a long time, so here's a recent post I wrote for my web site: Brisket is one of those cuts of meat that tends to scare smokers away from trying it.  For one thing, it's expensive.  For another, we've all had someone else's bad brisket.  It's like eating shoe...

    Geek's Idahoppers

    OK, OK, corny name; sorry about that. I have a relative that likes ABT's but can't handle the heat. So I've been experimenting with things that encompass all of the goodness of ABT's without the heat. Personally, chilies without heat seem bitter to me. So I thought I'd try a different veggie. I...

    Geek's Drunken Onion Soup

    So I put this in the poultry section because it starts with a smoked Turkey. I won't go into full detail on the bird, but some things are important for the flavor of the soup Deboned the bird and laid flat on the counter (be food safe please) with the skin up. Strained one large bottle of...

    Lomo al Trapo....part Deux.

    After my last failed attempt at Lomo al Trapo, I knew I had to try it again. For those who missed it the first time (yea), this is a beef roast, traditionally center loin, packed with salt, wrapped with a clean towel, trussed and cooked over hot embers. The last time I had too small of a...

    You might be a redneck....Stuffed Loin

    If your son uses all of your butcher's string and you replace it with bailing wire.....you might be a redneck. So I guess it isn't that bad, but darn close. The string was nowhere to be found (I know good and well where it went). So, I have a whole spool of aluminum wire left over from my...

    Geek's 'Ono Stuffed Loin

    While eating a Hawiian pizza the other day, I thought the combination of flavors would go well with a pork loin. Here are the results from this weekend's smoke: Stuffing: 2 Granny Smith Apples 1 Large white onion 16oz jar mild yellow peppers 15 1/4 oz can pinnaple (crushed) 1lb Mozz cheese...

    Safe Chicken Temperature Theory

    So, I am sitting here at work looking at a zip top bag of sliced chicken breast from a recent beer can chicken cook (which is quite fabulous might I add), resting on the corner of my desk. As I'm tool lazy to walk down the hall to the company fridge, I have convinced myself that since I pulled...

    Chargriller exhaust Stack - Moving

    So I have the dryer vent mod on my Chargriller, but I constantly fight with the loss of grill grate space in that area. What I'm wondering is, what would happen if I cut a hole in the side of the lower half of the smoke chamber, lefthand side, just below the grill grates. Then plumb a new...

    Cheap and Easy Chargriller Basket

    I have used this basked all through winter but am just now getting the chance to upload some shots of it. I can't remember the exact details, but it was less than $15.00; got everything from my local Ace Hardware: 1 sheet Stainless expanded metal (25x25, I think). (4) sets of 3/8" hex head...

    Geek's Jalamento Cheese

    Disclaimer: This recipe is a variation of a pimento cheese recipe shown on Diner's Drive-ins and dives. Search FoodTV for the recipe if you like. I really like pimento cheese, and have always wanted to make a smoked version. I thought just smoke on its own would overwhelm most recipes so I...

    Geek's Mustard Chicken with Jalapeño

    I'm the king of simple recipes, so this aint much, but really high in flavor. I guess to spite mother nature throwing us these freezing temps tonight after being in the high 60's yesterday, I thought I should fire up the drum. I started with 3 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast. Thawed...

    Split Turkey with Bacon

    Not a new concept here, but is certainly a winner in my book. I had a turkey in the freezer taking up space, so I thawed the dude out and totally deboned him down to the last joint in the drumsticks and wings. I did a basic brine the night before. On smoke day, I seasoned him with salt and...

    Geek's not real Cajun Turducken (reposted)

    I'm not looking for sunshine in the backdoor, but this was my turducken post that was lost in the rebuild. Since it was quite a bit of work (the turducken.....not the post), yet yielded mixed results, I thought it was important to rebuild the post: I finally got up the nerve to give this big...

    Competition costs?

    What's a typical entry free for a KCBS sanctioned competition. I'm in no way ready for competing but I saw that there is one nearby this fall and I thought it would be a good experience (In Columbia, MO on the same weekend as the Royal; which just seems odd). That is until I saw that the entry...

    Girls in boats....

    Smoked Chicken Breast Boats The night before last, I rubbed up come chicken breast (boy that sounds bad when you actually read it out loud!) with some of Jeff's Naked rub. Poored some EVOO over them and let them soak in the fridge overnight. I also mixed up a mayo sauce that the meat would be...

    Geek’s Spicy Honey Mustard Sauce

    So I’ve been playing with a recipe over the last month or so. I’ve been trying to come up with a good sugar free/fat free honey mustard sauce for, I’m ashamed to admit on this forum, salad dressing. I think I’ve finally stopped fiddling with it and thought I would share it with you all. While...

    Control system for the drum

    I'm going to mount the temperature control system to the drum this weekend, and I have a couple comments and some questions as well. On the horizontal, I use both a fan and a servo controlled damper. Since the drum really doesn't need much help, I'm thinking of going with just a fan. The...
