This weekend I made tri-tip, corn on the cob and a special dessert I have been wanting to try (more about that later). I was going to make my own marinade but then I saw this at the store and it had the same basic ingredient list so I gave it a try. I added salt and garlic pepper right before...

Hello everyone, I am doing some flat iron steaks for Christmas dinner this year and just wanted to get some suggestions. I wanted to try something different and therefore I am asking for any suggestions for marinades to use with these steaks. Normally I just do S&P and garlic, sometimes I...

I want to try smoking a turkey this year. Have any of you done this? Would you do it again? Looking for advice on what to do and what not to do. How long did you smoke it for? Did you brine it before smoking? Thanks, Jared

We had some leftover roasted potatoes that needed to be eaten. I heated them up on the grill for tonight. The steaks I marinated in red wine, thyme, garlic and olive oil for about 2 hours. I then salt and peppered the steaks and seared them directly over the coals for about 4 minutes per side...

I know this isn't grilling, it was roasted in the oven, but this is what I made for dinner tonight. Last night I put the pork loin roast in a brine. The brine was a basic salt and water, with brown sugar, sparkling apple cider and pepper. I brined it overnight. Today I drained the brine, and...

Lamb chops I marinated in balsamic vinegar, olive oil, rosemary, and garlic. I seasoned with salt and garlic pepper right before grilling. The veggies were sauteed in some balsamic vinegar and white wine and the potatoes were roasted in the oven with garlic, salt and pepper. Enjoy!

So I finally got around to updating my blog with some recent stuff I did. I smoked 6 pork butts and grilled 80 lbs of teriyaki chicken for a local church picnic, about 160 people showed up. It turned out pretty good and I got a lot of positive feedback. Several people came up to me and said...

Anyone have some tips for grilling ribeyes they want to share. I am am seasoning with salt and pepper and will be using my 22" kettle. Any tips, hints and suggestions are much appreciated.

I had some leftover pulled pork that I wanted to use up. So I remembered a recent post with the mac n cheese sandwich and I knew I just had to try it. Thank you to whoever posted that for the inspiration. I did it the cheap way (blue box mac and cheese) so I know it isn't the best, but damn...

I am going to be smoking 6 butts of pulled pork this weekend for a party and I need some advice. I have one UDS with 2 racks in it. I think I can fit all 6 in there at once depending on the size of the butts that I get. How will that affect the cooking time doing all 6 at once? It might be a...

Tonight I made burgers and quinoa stuffed bell peppers. For the burger I just mixed in some diced onion, worchestershire, egg, garlic powder, salt and pepper and a little candian steak spice blend. I sauted onion, garlic, celery and added canned corn, tomato and black beans and mixed it with...

My wife's birthday is next week and when I asked what she wanted, she said Crab. Well, I don't know a thing about cooking crab (or any seafood for that matter). I was thinking of maybe doing crab cakes. Do you have any suggestions for recipes that I could use for a crab dinner? I am also...

I have been asked to do pulled pork and grilled chicken for a church picknic. There will be approximately 200 people. I have never done something like this before so I need help planning how much meat I need to get and cook. I plan to get 8lb butts and chicken thighs. How many butts should I...

Last week was busy at my place. We had out of town relatives visiting...my wife had to go to the ER, I injured my eye and we had a birthday/anniversary party over the weekend for my daughter and parents. I was able to get my UDS built in time to get in a few trial runs before the party on...

I have relatives visiting this week so tonight I smoked some chicken breast. I rubbed them with some garlic, salt and pepper. After smoking for about 2 hours, I basted on some Stubb's Wicked Chicken Sauce...boy is that stuff good. It has a little heat but not too much. The chicken ended up...

I didn't want to hijack the other thread so here is my build.... I ordered a brand new unlined drum with open top from Baytec Industries. I didn't find a used one locally and frankly I just didn't have the time to spend on dealing with a lined drum.

Clearing out the freezer night... I marinated the steaks in dry steak rub mixed with apple vinegar, water, and EVOO. I sprinkled a bit more of the rub on the meat right as I was putting them on the grill. Bacon wrapped asparagus...bacon didn't stay on very well but that is ok, the flavors...

Do any of you order meats online and have them delivered? I ask simply because of the lack of butchers in the area. We have the chain groceries and I have been trying to find a place that has a good selection of quality meats. Any suggestions?

Last night I made some pork chops. I rubbed them with some EVOO, chile powder, garlic powder and salt and pepper. The corn was coated with butter, salt and pepper and wrapped in tin foil. The peaches I just cut in half and grilled them. It turned out ok, but I was expecting more heat from the...

So this weekend I learned that my current smoker sucks for anything longer than 4 hours, even with modifications. Therefore I am trying to decide if I should just go with the WSM that seems to be very popular and successful, or try my hand at building a UDS. I personally do not have much...

I was asked to make some pulled pork for a birthday party that is coming up in a few weeks and since I have never made it before, I am doing a trial run this weekend. I got about 17lbs of pork butt. About how many pounds of cooked meat will that yield? How many people can i expect to feed from...

Have any of you used this lump charcoal before...

I had to try out this grilling of pizza on the kettle. It turned out ok but I think next time we will try for some other topping options. We didn't have much to choose from and used up what we had in the house. Canadian bacon and pineapple on Boboli pizza bread. My mother made the soup and...

I have never done this before so any help is much appreciated. Specifically how long does it take to grill them without burning? I have some Buboli crusts I plan on using. I have a pizza stone I plan on using, should I pre-heat the stone in the grill before putting the pizza on or should it be...
