BBQ Chicken This week we are doing a “Test Cook” for the Murrieta Farmer’s Markets. We wanted to do ribs and chicken on the same smoker at the same time. So, we are working out the cooking times for each. What I came up with was smoke it for 30 minutes at 225 degrees (108c), then turn the heat up to 350 degrees (177c) for an hour.…
Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick Patti and I are still working on a few treats to serve “Off The Grill” for tailgating parties. These are a big hit at the Super Bowl parties also. With us, it has to be something smoked off the grill. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We let…
Super Tailgater Burger Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. This time for all our tailgating friends we used our Green Mountain Davy Crocket Tailgater Grill. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with…
Blackened Tuna Burger We love tuna, never can get enough of it. We like it every way it comes. This is the very best tuna we have ever had. A few weeks ago we called Andy and told him we were craving some of his good salmon. He told us about his fresh salmon and Ahi tuna and that he had the fix for our…
https://youtu.be/CtuF1j1LoNk Green Mountain’s Davy Crockett Review Green Mountain Grills asked us if we would take a look at their new Davy Crockett Tailgater. I am always interested in a new wood pellet grill so I jumped right on it. I have had 2 pellet tailgaters in the past and can’t say I was very happy. They had problems in my opinion with heat control simply…

http://youtu.be/rB8Nt16ithw Pork Loin with Sherried Apples and Cranberries This is one of our “Count Down To The Holidays” recipes. We always do traditional holiday recipes, but this time we wanted something a little different and still festive. The pork was juicy and tender with a cranberry apple glaze to add to the layers of flavors. Patti made enough apple cranberry stuffing to have as a…
Saber 500SS Review Saber sent us one of their 500SS grills. This is a big stainless steel gas grill that was delivered in my driveway by a semi truck. I have had more than a few grills sent to me and the first thing I look at now is the package, and damage from poor packing and ease of unpacking. When you open the box…
Bacon Stuffed Pork Tenderloin You know how when you plan something all week and when the time comes “Oh, oh”. Then, you fall back to Alternate Plan “B”. Well, that was our date night this week. I was thinking pork medallions. When we opened the pork tenderloin we found that we did not get one large one. But, instead we got two small ones. But,…
Just Hanging Out on The Royall 3000 Along Comes Daisy A Pellet Grill Recipe We were given another pig for my birthday. I have always wanted to do a whole pig but thought you needed special equipment, grills or deep holes dug in your yard. This is the second one I have done in about 6 weeks. I just can’t get over HOW SIMPLE this…
Grilled Spaghetti with Sausage MeatballsPatti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night. We usually put something special on our Louisiana Wood Pellet Grill/Smoker but sometimes we cook inside. We always eat outside on our patio where it is very comfortable with a rainforest theme. Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and surround sound. We enjoy a…

So, we did a reverse sear then a slow smoke on dinner tonight. Patti got us a nice 4 pound Tri Tip that was perfect. And it will be perfect as sandwiches tomorrow on crusty French bread. I was going to do…
