Smoked Whole Chicken with herb butter

Last week my boy Blaine over at Seven Son’s Meat (shameless plug) called me and informed me my order of 15 chickens were ready for pick up.  After doing a happy dance I scheduled a time to run out to the farm to pick them up. 
I wanted to get some pics when I was at […]

Smoked beef ribs

Ok I have to admit I have been a horrendous slacker lately in the cooking department.  It is springtime here and I have been spending nights outside working and by the time I am done it is 8ish and I have zero desire to cook. 
Friday I was staring at the freezers trying to figure out what […]

Orange brine herb rub chicken thighs

I love BBQ to me there is nothing peaceful than staring at a smoker chugging away undisturbed while magical and beautiful things happen under the hood.  The entire neighborhood is full of the magical aroma of flavorful wood burning away.
This recipe was one I used a couple years ago in BBQ competitions and actually is still very highly requested when […]

Homemade bacon

Pork ribs on a WSM

Ingredients:

Handful of jalapenos
Brick of cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup of your favorite cheese grated (I am using a habanero cheedar)
Couple […]

Hickory smoked brisket on a WSM (Weber Smokey Mountain)

Brisket is my favorite piece of meat to put on a smoker.  It requires a lot of patience and skill because briskets hate temperature swings and are tempermental pieces of meat.  However, if cooked properly it becomes a very flavorful piece of meat that will melt in your mouth.
First thing we want to do is […]

Pulled pork

Note: Sorry for the formating disaster.  I tried copying and pasting this in from Word and well it turned out with a horrible font and even worse formating. 
Pulled pork is probably one of the easiest things on the face of this earth to do on a smoker and is the perfect starter for someone just starting out or learning […]
