This new 26 inch kettle is huge. Here it is with a whole bag of lump in it.

Got a nice rib eye, seasoned […]

I’ve done our Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys on the grill for the past ten years or so. All of them have been tasty, but I don’t think I’ve ever done it the same way twice. This year’s variation was to try and add more juiciness to the breast meat by larding it with a compound […]

This is a traditional Mexican recipe of pork slow cooked in chile sauce (adobo). Yes, this recipe takes some time to make. Yes, it has LOTS of chilies in it.  But it is well worth the effort, as much of the heat cooks out and you end up with these chunks of amazingly tender pork […]
