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. A 4-pound chuck roast, 5 different Chile peppers, onions and garlic for a 5 hour cook. All with a “Kiss of Smoke” from a wedgie loaded with GMG’s Texas Blend…
Chipotle Double Stack Burger, we love a good grilled burger and I am always pushing to explore new “Burger Frontiers”. It’s crazy, but I dream of this stuff and now with my new camera, playing with the lighting it’s even more fun. We get great tasting burgers and get to play with my toys, our Green Mountain grill and camera. It’s a Win Win…
Brazilian Coulotte Steak, Picanha is a cut of beef called sirloin cap in the United States that is popular in Brazil. In the United States, it is little known, but referred to as the rump cover, rump cap, or Coulotte. This was a fun one to grill, and we thank Raider Red Meats for sending us something unusual to “play” with! With just a…
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…
Taco Pizza Ring because Ken loves tacos, Patti loves pizza and we both love this recipe. We used crescent rolls instead of pizza crust and cooked it to perfection on our Green Mountain Grills Pizza Oven. This was a fun one that got lots of ahs and awes from our friends over for dinner. Patti and I have set one night a week just for…
Queso Pork Chop Breakfast was everything you could want for breakfast, but we did it for dinner!!! Texas toast, 2 eggs, bacon, a smoky grilled 2-inch pork chop all drizzled in Queso cheese. Served with fried potatoes and onions with more Queso cheese! These 2-inch chops were very tender and juicy! We even kissed them with a hint of coffee smoke. Great for any…
Buffalo Wings & Links We had a friend coming for dinner and he made the mistake of saying that he could eat a mountain of wings. So, we thought we’d give him a chance by doing a mountain of Buffalo wings & links. We did 4 different kinds of wings and sauces and threw in some zippy hot links. If I say so myself we…

Butter Pecan Stuffed Texas Pork Chop Butter Pecan Stuffed Texas Pork Chop, Ken wanted a stuffed pork chop…a big one. So Patti bought one aka bone-in pork loin roast at almost 6 lbs. Now that’s a pork chop! Being this was a manly sized pork chop power tools were required. Ken used a drill to make a whole for Patti’s butter pecan stuffing. Then, a…
Holiday Seafood Enchiladas Holiday Seafood Enchiladas would be an easy, elegant dinner or brunch for any holiday or special occasion. Patti made these for our anniversary dinner because Ken was in the mood for lobster. She made these with a combination of lobster, shrimp and crab with a “Kiss of Smoke”. You can use any combination you like. Patti and I have set one night…

We braised these in Chianti wine, beef broth and, of course, garlic and onion. Patti served them on top of her garlic blue cheese mashed potatoes. Beef Shanks are a hearty, savory meal that was just plain delicious with a “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti…
