Get Your Grill On

My dog Oscar has an idea how to make Pulled Beef. I turned my back for an instant and look what happened. Luckily for both of us he only got a taste. Today I am smoking a 7 bone Monster Roast. This is a very flavorful cut of meat. It has a lot of marbled […]

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.
To cook an eight pound pork shoulder to fall apart goodness is a two day commitment. This roast can take anywhere from […]

One of my favorite side dishes to go with barbeque is baked beans. To create the ultimate beans you need to bake them in a low oven for hours. When the temperature is leaning to the upper end of the scale you probably do not want to run an oven. I have a Mad Meat […]

A man can never have enough barbeque accessories. I was gifted a Smokenator 1000 last Father’s day by Ms. Goofy and the boys. They sure know my weak spot.

The Other, Other White Meat. Berkshire Pork is a special treat. Berkshire is a breed of hog. Today’s roast comes from the Eden Farms located in Iowa. They are a cooperative of 25 small […]

“In some social circles, I am known as Chileverde”. That is a quote from my infamous 6 minutes of fame on Joey Altman’s “Bay Cafe”. I now go by Chilebrown. Today I am making my award winning Chileverde. Well, sort of award winning. It took the ‘Peoples Choice’ award at the “Calistoga Beer,Sausage and Chili […]

The Tofu Challenge was an idea of Scott Pinkerton from the ‘Pragmatic Chef’. He claimed I was making fun of some Tofu dish he made. This is my version of Cedar Plank Roasted Tofu.
You may have gathered that I am not a big fan of Tofu. I racked my brain on how I could […]
