Big Beef Ribs go Tailgating!!! With things opening up it’s time to be thinking of camping and tailgating. We found some nice ribs and thought they would make a special camp dinner. Look at that smoke ring! These slabs of ribs are too big for 2 slabs to fit into the Green Mountain Davey Crockett tailgater. Problem solved by our Bull Racks; they can…
Fabulous Chicken Fajitas, Ken wanted fajitas and Patti had some chicken breasts that were a pound each a for our date night. We added all our favorite goodies. The red pepper chili powder is a pungent, hot chili powder with a strong bite and the flavor intensifies as it is cooked. I love the Southwestern flair it adds to all of your grilling. But,…

Pepper Glazed Pork Roast, eating good on a budget!!! We cold smoked our sirloin roast in coffee smoke first. Then gave it a thick coating of black pepper and sealed them up in a bag and let them get “Happy” for a few days. What a treat! You can bypass the cold smoke if you don’t have the time and this will still be…
Slow Smoked Santa Maria Roast Beef because there is nothing like the flavor of slow smoked beef seasoned with our new Santa Maria Rub (out soon). We smoked this 7 ½ pound roast for 9 hours for that “Kiss of Smoke” and a beautiful smoke ring. An awesome dinner for friends and the holidays. We will be enjoying shredded roast beef sandwiches and tacos this…
Tex Mex Big Beef Ribs have the smoky flavor of chipotle with “Big Beef”. That’s about as good as it can get!!! Texas BBQ is as simple as it can get, too. They go to the meat for flavor verses any rubs or sauces. Using mainly only salt, pepper and garlic for their seasoning and serve any sauce on the side. We added a…
Dove’s Chocolate Chipotle Tri Tip. How good does a Dove’s Chocolate anything sound? Dove’s Chocolate Chipotle Tri Tip was out of the ball park good. The Dove’s cocoa rub along with some chipotle chili powder and then a garlic pepper crust wasn’t like anything I have ever experienced! When the taste of beef layered with all the flavors of the grill is what you…
Tri Tip Slow Smoked with Mushroom Wine Sauce Patti and I have set one night a week just for us. It’s our date night.

Wood burning stove, little lights, candles, lanterns and…

These St. Louis Style ribs are tender, juicy and beautiful just to look at, smells wonderful, not to mention absolutely…
