mmmmmm-mm-mmm-mm-MMM-MMM-MMM!
My son had us over today for some ribs and basketball. He smoked a couple of baby backs as well as some of his armadillo eggs. His eggs were tasty. a bit hot but his ribs were spot on. I hate to be the jealous type but I am. First I tasted smoke and then sweet and that turned to a nice hot bite on the finish. Done to perfection... a nice bite to pull from the bone. His ribs were better than any I've smoked.
I plan on grilling some burgers tomorrow night. I'm anxious to see if the smoker / grill works as it should, I'm very hungry for burgers, and I've purchased a new sliced pickle that I've got to try. I don't remember the exact name just now. It's made by Famous Dave and I think the name is something like devil's spit. Just eating a chip out of the jar it tasted much like a traditional bread and butter pickle but it has a heck of a kick. Should be great on a good grilled burger.

its very good but i bet not half as good as the bbw you guys do. I mean, when you put as much time into preparing it just so, you know its better than a franchise who have to speed up things
While I enjoy the process and the food is delicious, a side benefit is I know what I'm putting into mine and my family's body.
Today I'm smoking some flatiron steaks. (flank steak) They have become my go to meat. Easy half day cook, wonderful flavor, and incredible tenderness. I'll have sweet potatoes and fresh asparagus on the smoker to keep them company.
As a side note, my smoker has worked flawlessly every since my little explosion the other day. I'm still without a clue as to what crazy thing went on with my GM smoker but it seems to be healed.
I hope everyone has the opportunity to grill / smoke something this weekend. Good times... good eating....

That is so true! i'm stil having a problem eating most fast-food places after watching news reports of what fallen into cooking ingredients, batter, things crawling and nesting ontop of cans where workers dont wash cans before opening.

Whoah! what explosion, lol. let me scroll back and catch up on some reading here . The flank sounds vrry tasteful. mmm-mmm
I won't have the opportunity this weekend, BUT, I'm going to a local place called the Black Dog Bar and Grill where I'll either get the Pig Pen Burger (8oz of black angus beef topped with pulled pork, melted cheddar cheese & fried onion strings) or the Ring of Fire (Combo of pitmaster smoked brisket & pulled pork with jalapeños, pepper jack cheese with our black dog BBQ sauce). As much as I like smoking, I can't come up with fresh pulled pork AND fresh brisket at once.
And this is all legit smoke, not of that liquid crap. I don't know if it compares to smoke houses in St. Louis or Texas, but around here its about as good as it gets.

I actually tried the fried greenbeans tonight. They were great!!!
The flank cut is just wonderful smoked. I always smoke two or three while I'm smoking. I use the leftover meat throughout the week for other meat dishes such as pepper steak over rice, beef and noodles, pulled beef sandwiches, etc. It's a four hour cook that has not failed me yet. I tried grilling the cut once but it wasn't anything to talk about. Slow cooked is another matter entirely. I could spice them up for a different taste but I prefer just rubbing the steaks with a drizzle of avocado oil and sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt and coarse ground black pepper. 225 for three hours or so and then wrap and cook another hour at 250. I let the meat rest in a cooler a half hour or more before cutting slices on the diagonal. Way yummy.

ooh! i bet they were good! i never likedbokra until i tried fried okra yrs ago. I like greenbeans but i bet they are even tastier batter-fried. how do you think its prepared? i'll look it up. Honestly i never thought of fried greenbean until todays post .
Okra, stewed tomatoes, blackened peppers, onion, hamburger, dirty rice, and cheddar. I love fried okra as well. I love hot pickled okra. Truth is, I just go for okra. Never had fried green beans. They would have to be some kind of wonderful.
I'm getting a Hibachi in April.
I bet you'll enjoy it. I took a look at the WallyWorld offerings just the other day. I must say that they have improved over time. The one I owned so many years ago looked a bit like this one.
The model that I was eyeing the other day looked similar to this.
The adjustable vents to control the air across the coals and the ability to adjust the height of the grate has to be far superior to what I owned. Mine had a grate and a griddle top which I did not see with the newer models. The griddle was nice for breakfast stuff if camping etc. However, the grease from bacon or sausage was pretty darn dangerous over the coals.
You will be amazed at the heat these little grills achieve. Heavy cast iron base really holds the heat. Don't be in any hurry to cook. Let the coals burn down. The unit will be plenty hot to grill on with only a few coals if you are patient.
Post up a pic when you land this new cooking tool. I'm way anxious to hear how you like it. As you might can tell, I'm sort of getting the desire to revisit the hibachi.

I've been doing some reading on beer can vs. spatchcock chicken. My family has always enjoyed my beer can chicken, but it seems spatchcock is the preferred method. Only one way to find out.
I'm going to kind of mimic an all you can eat chicken place we have around here. They basically serve roasted chicken, pasta, and fries all you can eat family style. My wife loves to go. I go because she loves it. I'm going to improve all three dishes I think.
