Zoinks BBQ!
My friend, Duane, started experimenting with bbq flavors and developed his own line of rubs and sauces. We setup a tasting for some people to eat bbq and give us feedback.
They loved it! (We were so busy serving that we didn’t get good pics of the event.)
He has 10 rubs and 4 sauces, each of them unique and full of real flavor, and not too salty or overwhelming.
I did a wing sampling to compare his Nashville Hottie and Original Hot rubs. Both pack a punch and are awesome on smoked wings.
His sauces are amazing! Boarhemian Rhapsody won the day on the ribs, and Mama Knows Best was the go-to sauce for pulled pork.
Duane is definitely onto something grand with his @zoinks_bbq rubs and sauces! I need more, and we’ll definitely do another cook soon.

Cooking for the weekend!

Huge shoutout to @270smokers! Stephanie and Terry are wonderful people and they make outstanding smokers!

I have the Memphis going with 2 brisket pastramis, 8 butts, and 2 pans of beans. It has plenty of room, holds temps perfectly, and delivers the smoke! And as a bonus feature, it rolls around super easily. I love it!

Hawaiian Burger!
Shout out to @shipwreckbbq for this inspiration! He has several excellent posts about @trybachans Japanese Barbecue Sauce, and while I was in CostCo this morning I saw it and had to try it.
The inspiration hit me for hamburgers with pineapple, along with grilled shrimp and corn on the cob, all grilled on the Egg. I figured I’d stick with the theme, so I went with @dizzypigbbq Peking on the burgers, Spicy Pineapple Head on the pineapple (duh), and Tsunami Spin on the shrimp and corn. And everything got a hit of the Japanese Barbecue Sauce. 😋
I didn’t intend for this to turn in an AAPI meal, but it worked out perfectly! Some fun flavor combos and I’ll be doing it again soon.

Easter Burger!
We were planning to make burgers for Easter dinner and my wife wanted deviled eggs… then she came up with this idea. Similar to a farm burger with a fried egg, it’s a deviled egg burger. 😋
To kick it up a notch, she made the deviled eggs with Wickles (spicy pickles). It totally works and it’s a definite repeat.

Happy New Year!
Start anew in 22!

We’re starting the year with the traditional Hoppin’ John with smoked ham and cornbread.
I’m looking forward to some new ventures this year and plan to be experimenting more with the foods I prepare.

Hope you all enjoy a brilliant new year!

Happy Thanksgiving!
It’s a beautiful day to be humble and appreciate friends, family and what we have to share with others.

Turkeys in the smoker!
I brined 6 turkeys and I’m smoking them for friends. The first 4 are on now and 2 going on later.
The 270 Memphis is doing a lovely job and makes life easy! Our power was out from 2:30am until 6:40am, and the 270 was the only thing working.

It seems ribeye steak has become my official birth

It seems ribeye steak has become my official birthday steak. 🥩🎉
We had a few friends over to celebrate. I sliced a rib loin into some fat steaks and seasoned them with a combo of @dizzypigbbq Red Eye Express and Raising the Steaks. Seared them on the RecTec Wyldside. It’s perfect for hot fire grilling, just keep flipping!

Quesabirria!
I received an email from @thermoworks with a recipe for these Birria Tacos and this one piqued my interest and I knew I had to try it. The recipe itself is from @smokedbbqsource .

I modified it slightly and seasoned the beef with @dizzypigbbq Molè seasoning before smoking.
These birria tacos were a hit, and I’ll definitely be doing them again soon!

I also made some pulled pork carnitas seasoned with Fajita-ish, but sadly didn’t get good pics.

Strip Steaks 🔥
I was looking up @jesspryles recipes for her compound butters, and I stumbled across her method for Just Keep Flipping (JKF). It’s basically a really hot fire and flip the steaks often, like every 30 seconds. I was intrigued and figured at least my guests would get a good show.
I just got a RecTec Wyldside grill that I’ve been wanting to try out, and the JKF method seemed perfect for it.
The pictures speak for themselves, and I am now a JKF convert. It goes against everything I have learned about grilling steaks, and yet it cooks them to perfection.
It took about 5 minutes to cook 10 steaks to 135°, then a 5 minute rest. They were all a beautiful medium rare with a nice crust. And the guests loved them!

Smoked a chuck roast for beef stew. And we smoked a few eggs and made Deviled Jalapeño Eggs.
I heavily seasoned a 2.5 lb chuck roast with @dizzypigbbq Game On and smoked it for several hours. It’s fall apart tender and Game On is a perfect seasoning for beef soups.
I also smoked the potatoes and grilled the corn. Sliced it all up and into the pot, along with the tomatoes, carrots and onions. It was a nice change from the smoked ham for Easter.

My friend, @hairy_and_scary , invited us over for a Friday night grill out. I marinated a skirt steak and salmon, and roasted some Vidalia onions. Jon made ABTs, roasted baby potatoes and some delicious rum raisin roasted apples.

I wanted to check out his new @pitbossgrills pellet grill/smoker he got a few weeks ago. I’ve never used a pellet smoker, so I was curious to see it in action. Very Impressive! It hit 500, and handled everything we threw on it. Even got a great char on the skirt steak without destroying it. We only used it as a high temp grill, but I gotta say that I like it better than the typical grills I’ve used.

St Patrick’s Day Pastramis!
As it seems to becoming tradition for me now, I made a pastrami and a “porkstrami” (pork belly pastrami) for St Patty’s Day.
Invited a few neighbors to sample the meats and it all disappeared quickly. The verdict seems to be that the Porkstrami won. I’m guessing because it’s very tender and the peppery pastrami seasoning really compliments the fattiness.
I made smoked mashed potatoes to complete the meal. And I brined and smoked a turkey for a friend who hadn’t tried it before.

Fired up the new 270 Memphis for it’s first cook!
I’m cooking a brisket, 4 butts, 6 racks of babybacks and 2 pork bellies.
This smoker is smooth and steady just like the KC. @270smokers always use cleverly thoughtful designs, and the Memphis has many excellent design details. I’m already loving it, and looking forward to future cooks.

The 270 Memphis is finally at the new house and hanging out with the KC on the back patio. Now I just need a 270 GS to fill out the ranch.
I’m looking forward to firing the Memphis up soon and cooking a lot of barbecue!

Steaks for Christmas!
Since it was just the two of us, we decided to keep it simple and have steaks and potatoes for dinner.
I smoked a couple potatoes on the Egg, then grilled some NY Strips and an onion.
I rubbed the steaks with some Espresso Steak Rub from @spiceandtea.greenville. Absolutely outstanding deep and warm flavor, perfect for Christmas dinner.
Thank you @hairy_and_scary for the perfect choice seasoning!

Baked Potatoes on the Big Green Egg are one of my

Baked Potatoes on the Big Green Egg are one of my favorites! The salty leathery skin gets a hint of smoke, and the inside is perfectly tender. 😋
Just a quick tip... the @meatergram Meater Probe is excellent for smoking potatoes. Just like smoked meats, the potatoes are done at 203°. The Meater makes it a “set it and forget it” process.
Also, if I’m fighting windy days and the smoker temp is going wild, I’ll put the Meater in a potato to help monitor my temps. This works especially well for ribs or fish, which might be too thin for the probe.

Smoked meatloaf and baby potatoes with fresh made

Smoked meatloaf and baby potatoes with fresh made bread.

Someone shared a FB post a couple weeks ago about meatloaf sandwiches, and it reminded me that I haven’t made meatloaf in awhile.

I gave the meatloaf a good coating of @dizzypigbbq Cow Lick rub for a nice crust, then smoked it along with some baby potatoes on the Big Green Egg and made a couple loaves of fresh bread to go with it.

We made a breadboard with homemade pickles from my cousin and some Wickles pickled okra. Perfect meal for a December Sunday.

(The Meater Plus is perfect for cooking roasts and meatloaf on the Egg, btw! Easy temp control and no overcooked, dried out meats.)
