St. Paddy’s Irish Nachos, we love nachos for appetizers, snacks and sometimes for dinner. Our friend Peggy Fairweather came up with the idea of combining nacho toppings over potatoes. She knows Ken is a meat & taters kind of guy. So, in honor of St. Patrick’s Day we made nachos with some of our Shredded Chuck Roast, French fries and a topping of food…
Sweet & Smoky Corned Beef, we’re invited to St. Patrick’s Day pot luck. Of course, when asked what we should bring our friends always utter those three little words “bring barbequed meat”. Patti wanted to try to just smoke the corned beef instead of grilling it, using different sorts of seasoning. It was lean, a little sweet, a little savory and a lot of…
5 Pepper Pizza we love pizza and the Big Beef flavor of smoked roast beef. Last week we smoked up a pot of “La Carne del Diablo” or “The Devil’s Beef” on the gasser.

Chipotle Double Stack Burger, we love a good grilled burger and I am always pushing to explore new “Burger Frontiers”.

Crusted Tri Tip, we love beef. Not only can we prepare it in lots of different ways, the variations of grilling options are endless. It puts a new twist on the “Reverse Sear” cooking method where you cold smoke your meat to an internal temperature around 100 degrees (37c) then sear it with high heat on the grill. Tri tip is a very tender…

Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
We wanted a hearty stick to your ribs dinner. Having our good friends Jim & Debbie over and they wanted a dinner with some of Ken’s smoked cheese. We’ve all enjoyed it as snacks on crackers and cheese sauce, but they wanted to try some of our cooking magic as an entrée. Patti thought her lasagna would put the cheeses to a delicious use. Instead…
