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…
Quesadilla Burgers puts a whole new twist on “BIG BURGERS”! You can take Taco Tuesday to a whole new level also! Ken loves big cheesy burgers and this was a ½ pound beauty with a southwestern twist with a "Kiss of Smoke". All the ingredients we love on a quesadilla added to a cheeseburger served on a taco size tortilla. We made three of…
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…
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…
Pina Colada Sweet Potatoes, the Holidays are right around the corner. So we thought it would be a good idea to post some ideas for sides. Like these Pina Colada Sweet Potatoes. These are sweet and crunchy and a little more kicky than the usual, plus they can be prepared a day ahead, and then popped on the grill to reheat. Patti and I…
Plank Beef Ribs on the Davy Crockett GMG’s Tailgater, good, meaty beef ribs are almost impossible to find. For years all I have ever seen are racks of bone with most of the meat trimmed away. We have bought a 6 to 7 pound slab of these Plank Beef Ribs every week now for a test cook for the last 3 weeks. I know, it’s a…
Our Rusty Double Burger is a great big mouthful of goodness. We made our Rusty Double Burger with double cheese covering 2 big juicy beef patties with all our favorite veggie condiments and then drizzled with our Rusty Mustard Carolina Style BBQ Sauce. Crazy Good!!! This is an in your face burger or should I say it’s an “On Your Face” burger! Patti and I…
Ham and Cheese Stuffed Brie, we have friends and neighbors just drop by frequently…and they’re always hungry. Our pantry staples might be different than most folks because our friends know we won’t be serving peanut butter and crackers. We always stock various gourmet cheeses and meats. One of our favorites is wheels of brie. Today we stuffed our brie with Swiss cheese and Black Forest…
Bacony Sauteed Cabbage, Patti made this as a side for our corned beef, but Ken loves it with anything and he’s not a cabbage sort of guy. It helped a lot that Patti added bacon and Cindy Lou's Big Kahuna Seasoning. Cabbage was a great price and we knew it would be fresh and top quality because we got it from the Murrieta Farmer’s Market.…
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…
Little Smokies, Ken and his daughter Katie introduced these to me when Ken & I were dating. Now we make little smokies every holiday, parties and tailgating... These are quick and simple, can be done on any grill, stove top or the crock pot. Make a great last minute treat that your guests will love and is very low cost to make… Little Smokies A…
Grandville’s Duck Smoked then Grilled to Perfection Grandville’s Ginger Orange Duck, last week I had a friend call and ask “if he brought dinner, would we cook it?” What can you say to something like that: “What time will you be here?”… He talked with Patti and she gave him some things for sides to think about. Next day he shows up with two big…
