Mickey’s Mac & Cheese was made in honor of our dear friends Mickey & Fred’s anniversary. It was super easy with a base of jar Alfredo sauce, plus lots of smoked cheese and frozen thawed broccoli for color and to make it healthy. Then, Patti added chopped bacon because everything is better with bacon. Then that “Kiss of Smoke”. Patti and I have set one…
https://youtu.be/4OS-47DMVbM Zippy Beef Jerky Zippy Beef Jerky, we have always liked jerky and have wanted to make our own for years. This jerky is packed with flavor. A bit zippy with lots of black and red pepper mixed with Green Mountain’s “South of the Border rub”. Then, I pulled it off the smoker while still a little tender as jerky goes. I didn’t want to…
Grilled Avocado with Salsa Fresca. Our Salsa Fresca, sweet from the sweet peppers and Tomatillos with just a hint of jalapeno heat, nice. Now, put it into a grilled avocado. Warm, soft and creamy with a "Kiss of Smoke". We always enjoy cooking at the Murrieta Farmer’s Market. The people are great and we always come home with lots of fresh fruit and veggies.…
https://youtu.be/vp5VVwtqZsY Armadillo Eggs Go Tailgating Video Armadillo Eggs Go Tailgating Video, Armadillo Eggs are a stuffed jalapeno, wrapped in a ¼ pound of spicy sausage. Not for the faint of heart, but just a little zippy! I love these things, but they are not for everybody. Patti makes them for me, and she can’t eat them. This is a great Tailgating and party recipe. We…
Pizza Night at our house has a whole meaning. Our new Green Mountain Pizza Oven has changed everything! A Beautiful, Hot, Bubbly BBQ Chicken Pizza in about 3 minutes using our own smoked mozzarella cheese. We don’t think we ever order out for pizza again. Our pizza oven is so easy we set up a “Pizza Bar” and had some friends over. Everybody got…
Texas Chili Brats and Tots is one of our “go to” recipes when we go camping or tailgating. We just load up our Green Mountain Davy Crockett Tailgater and go. We’ve been known to double the recipe when our fellow campers smell our cook and it is easy to add some heat to this one depending on who’s eating.
https://youtu.be/57uAffq1-rk Video Santa Maria Sirloin Video Santa Maria Sirloin steak was so easy and delicious marrying a 2” thick sirloin steak and our Santa Maria Seasoning. Too easy and so good. We have been working on a new seasoning “Santa Maria Seasoning” and giving it a workout on the GMG. We are Really Pleased with the results. Thinking ribs and chicken up next. Our Santa…
El Burrito del Diablo or The devil's Burrito. We love fiery beef burritos, so we thought we would smoke 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…

All the ingredients we love on a quesadilla added to a cheeseburger served on a taco size tortilla. We made three of…
The Wedgie With the Wedgie you can add professionally smoked food to your menu with any gas grill. Now all gas grills become actual wood smoking grills for $29. The Wedgie is a 9”x 6”and 2” deep smoking wedge. It works best with wood pellets that you can burn 2 to 4 hours depending on how full you fill it… It’s a smoking fool that…
Down & Dirty Prime Rib because most folks think this cut of meat is way too expensive and way too difficult. Patti was at the market the other day to buy hamburger which was $4.35 a pound, next to it was prime rib roast at $4.77 a pound. A definite “no brainer”. Plus, our gas grill has a rotisserie. Perfect! We used our Date Night…
Chuck Wagon Beans, if you love beef & beans this is a good pot of beans. In the spirit of an old west “cookie” they are made with whatever you have on hand. We did these on the Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill with a smoke tube packed with Rancher’s Mesquite for that “Kiss of Smoke”. Off the hook!!! Patti and I have set one night…
