South of the Border Crustless Pizza! I love just about anything “South of the Border”!! Our crustless pizza was packed with a mound of Spicy Chorizo sausage, jalapenos, smoked garlic and smothered with our smoked Pepper Jack Cheese. Low carb and huge flavor. More than just good, it is a supper easy camp or tailgating dish to do on the Green Mountain Davey Crockett…

Simple Rotisserie Smoked Turkey. We smoked a 16-pound turkey and I wanted to show just how easy it is do a turkey that everybody will be talking about for years. We used only 2 ingredients, “Duck Fat” as a binder and GMG’s Poultry Seasoning. That’s it! Only 10 minutes prep time, and that was just to rinse it off, mount it on the rotisserie…
Maple Brined Turkey, the Holidays are right around the corner! For us it means getting together with great friends and wonderful food. We brined this girl in Ken’s famous maple brine and then smoked it until it was done to perfection. This bird was delicious, tender and juicy with a “Kiss” of smoky maple in every bite. Patti and I have set one night…

Fiesta Chicken con Queso is a fiesta for your tastebuds. Just a little zippy and a whole lotta yum. It was easy, too, because we used prepackaged fajita veggies, southwestern cheese sauce from a jar and freshly made salsa fresca from our local supermarket. We stuffed it with shredded mozzarella cheese, but you can use any shredded cheese you like. And seasoned with Chef…
Old School Pork Spareribs! If you are ever lucky enough to visit a “Real Old School” BBQ shack you will notice that they do the whole rack of spareribs. They do minimal trimming and you end up with bigger meatier ribs. You waste a lot of good meat when you cut these down into “Saint Louis” style ribs. Just cut the chime bone off,…
Smoky Minced Garlic we use a lot of garlic here. We like the smoky minced garlic when we want a bit of garlic and a "Kiss of Smoke" into our dish. The garlic is still raw and will sweeten as it cooks and brings a nice smoky flavor into anything you cook. Every month we cold smoke 3 or 4 pounds of garlic that…
Curried Chicken Breasts, Ken loves curry, any kind of curry. Patti always stocks up on different cuts of chicken when it’s on sale. Voila, a match made delicious.
