I have been looking forward to Date Night all week. We picked up some Babyback Ribs. These were some nice racks, all the prep was done already all I had to do was rub them down with our seasoning and put them in the Green Mountain Wood Pellet Grill for a "Kiss of Smoke". Notice the nice smoke ring, these ribs were tender, juicy and…
Uncle Bubba’s Tailgating Sirloin Tips. Camping this week, we were in a mood for a “Meaty Treat”!

We are going to take Uncle Bubba with us camping every time we…

Smoky Garlic Butter because we both love garlic and that’s a good thing. We have made 3 different garlic sauces. Each new garlic sauce is one just a bit more intense than the last one. We've spread it on beef, pork and chicken on the grill and add it to other recipes we are doing. Delicious fun. Think about adding a Smoky Garlic sauce to…
Uncle Bubba’s Reverse Seared Tri-Tip was off the hook. With the pandemic beef has been hard to find and good tender beef even harder.

Smith AR 479 782 1261) We were able spend some time with him talking BBQ…
