The warden has taken away my new toy (treager jr) for herself. She never really cared much about cooking BBQ, until we started making money doing it. Now she's all about it! I have to admit, she's cookin some pretty good stuff on her "easy bake smoker"! lol

Monday I got a call and an email from some nice folks at ESPN. They wanted to know what 402 BBQ would be serving for the College World Series. I said, "BBQ, plus some fun tailgater specials." She said "BBQ gator tail!? That sounds like exactly what we're looking for! When can we meet for an...

A neighbor traded me this and a couple of walleye filets for a pile of pork. Problem is, I have no idea what I'm looking at, other than it's deer. I'm tempted to slice it up and grill it, but I also want to BBQ it. it looks pretty lean though.. Any advice on this?

If y'all would indulge me a minute, I'd like to do a little bragging. The wife was doing some bookwork, and she just informed me that we served over 1000 people this week! At a quarter pound of cooked meat per sandwich, that's 250 lbs of finished Q in one week, all on a lang 60! I'm a cookin...

Ok, so we all know that what's IN the smoker is the main event, but here's an opening act for those of us that just can't wait 12 hours to eat. It's as easy as it gets: green onions, red &green bell peppers, a jalapeno, some leftover brisket, and your favorite Mexican seasonings. Or if you...

8 butts, 2 briskets and a turkey, this smoker's full! But there's always room for a hot dog! (or is that jello?)

So apparently, this is my punishment for making fun of vagitarians. Tomorrow we are vending at a tech support call center with 800 employees. Should do a great business there, but there's a catch, many of the employees are Indian or Asian, and are Buddhist or whatever religion that don't eat...

So yesterday, a gal stops by the bbq bus, and she has some questions about the menu. This is verbatim to the best of my recollection. .. Lady: "So, is this all you guys have is just sandwiches?" Me: we also have mac&cheese, bison chili, and spare ribs today. Lady: well I don't eat bread. Me...

Anyone have any good leftovers recipes, like a ghetto Brunswick stew or anything that I can use t sell steam table scraps? I'm not feeling creative lately. Could use some ideas.

These turned out pretty tasty with a stout beer marinade

The briskets I have been getting are all USDA Prime Nebraska beef, and they almost always land in the 13-15lb range, the exceptions are usually bigger. Then the other day I opened a case and discovered this 8lb 6oz bundle of joy! I generally trim away any unneeded fat to speed up the cooking...

Well fellas, with the kitchen, BBQ cooker, and commissary all ready to rock. (and the catering has been good so far!) It's time to hit the streets. And here she is, my barbecue bus!

So, my bbq buddy "Owl Bundy" is back after a few hard winter months. And I got to cook one of my favorite things, spare ribs. Owl Bundy loves rib bones, and he keeps the mice out of my detatched garage/bbq porch. Today was a good day!

So in a few weeks is the first competition of the year for me, the Marchi Gras BBQ Cookoff. This is not a KCBS sanctioned event, but will be employing KCBS rules. I want to be more prepared this year, and need some advice or tips, especially on putting together a pork box. This may sound...

I mentioned in another thread that I have an event to work at on Saturday. Here's my problem. Our food suppliers is out of nose-on prime whole 15lb brisket. That's what I always cook. He has a bunch of 5 lb flat sections, but I've never cooked one, or if I have, don't recall. Any advice on...

So I will be vending at my first real event as 402bbq on Feb 1st. It is an annual fundraiser for the sunshine kids, a charity organization for children with cancer. They call it the Beer, Bourbon, and BBQ festival, and I was invited to serve my food there. They are expecting 300-400 people...

So, my favorite Butcher shop is closed for the holidays. I picked up a couple of boneless pork Butts from the supermarket to cook for some friends and family to eat during the Husker/ Georgia game. The damn dogs got into the trash again. Every time I cook boneless butts, and the dogs don't...

So I've been experimenting with a lot of different rubs and injections, to get the perfect brisket for the BBQ truck, with results from mediocre to amazing. I talked to my dad about this while enjoying his christmas brisket, and he told me this: "Brisket don't need all that $hit, I just put...

Testing out a new sauce recipe, needed something to put it on, seems pulled pork will work.

Well, it's about -4 outside here in beautiful eastern Nebraska, Probably won't be q'ing or grilling for a bit. So, time for some kitchen cookin'. I had some bullhead fillets that I cought back when the weather was fine, and a man could cast a line out, instead of drilling a hole in the ice, and...

Had some friends over for football, grub, and beers so no plated pics this was a free for all. Had to split the batch of chili, and make a meatless version for some of the wife's vegetarian friends. not sure it's still really chili, but it wasn't bad.

I wasn't really sure where to put this post about jerky.

Not me! My brother came to town with a truckload of apple wood. What to do, but cook a butt!

I just got a 21lb fresh hogleg from my stepmom. I have never cured one before, And I was wondering if anyone here had any good advice. My plan so far is to cure it in a brine with adeala sea salt, beet sugar, and pork stock, and my butt rub. Maybe in the brine in the fridge for the week, and...
