Get Your Grill On

A few weeks ago a fellow member of the BBQ Brethren asked on the forum if any one had ever tried Todd’s Dirt. They wanted to know if someone could make any type of recommendation. No one could. After visiting Todd’s website and reading about Dirt I decided to bite the bullet […]

This post isn’t for you people who are already hip to the love of an old, well used smoker. But for those of you who may feel they need the new stuff, the bells and even a few whistles. As with many crafts, it’s about the person wielding the brush, not the brush itself.
Yeah well, […]

…so it only makes sense that I like fish tacos. I had my first ones at a roadside joint in Texas, the type of place that only locals went to, and most of the food was purchased to-go. The fish was fresh from the Gulf of Mexico and deep fried, then cut […]

I love smoking chuck roasts. This particular cut of beef is simply wonderful after several hours on the smoker. It provides a great “pulled” meat and the yield is fantastic.
I was at my local Sam’s Club the other day looking to purchase a couple of chuck roasts for some shredded beef tacos. […]

Dr. Biggles, Ms. Goofy and Myself are judging a barbeque competition today. I needed to prove to myself that I am worthy of judging. Pulled pork was just the ticket to prove my worthiness.

Now that the semester at Shepherd University is getting underway I wanted to get some ribs on the Char-Broiler double door smoker for the incoming students. I ordered a case of Baby Back Ribs from our meat Vendor and to save time had them remove the membranes and package each one individually. There […]

Every now and then I have the opportunity to review new products and share my opinion of them with you here.
Today I have the opportunity to review Tassleberry Farms Strawberry Marinade and Strawberry BBQ Sauce. As you can see from the below picture, the product is attractive and well labeled.
Now when I picture strawberries in […]

As promised I wanted to show everyone what a nice job the Char Broil double door smokers does with smoking Jalapenos utilizing the Chile Grill from Iron dessert.

I took the fresh jalapenos and utilizing the jalapeno corer that came with the grill cut the tops off the peppers and had them hollowed out no time. […]

For the last 10 years I’ve dreamed about making a cold smoker. Bacon, ham, sausage, pork chops, fish and chile peppers, oh my! But cold smoking isn’t quite as straight forward as hot smoking, and the equipment is different. That spells big delays, especially since I am dead lazy. So, I’m only now taking the […]
