christmas

Most of you who’ve been around a few years, know this is the time of year that I go full Griswold. Here’s a pic of my house from a few years ago. It gets a little bigger every year. This year I rented a boom to put lights up in our 50' tall Italian Cypress you can see to the left of our...

When Moose and Shaggy posted the Christmas Fatty TD, an idea popped into my head. Once I cleared that idea out I came up with one related to the TD :becky: This actually started before Christmas when I too about 25 pounds of competition pork trimmings out of the freezer to grind. I put...

Most of you who’ve been around a few years know this is the time of year that I go Full Griswald so I haven’t got a lot of cooking in recently. Well I was finally able to get in a cook this weekend. Every year I host our family Christmas get together. My 2 brothers that live out here in...

I didn't get the Blackstone, as you know, but I did get hooked up with some serious BBQ swag yesterday: I was disappointed that neither of these books had a vegan mac and cheese recipe, but I might try making some with Vegemite.....

Christmas morning I made steak gravy and biscuits. It's a dish my Oklahoma grandfather taught me when I was 10. Of course, Grandad would always pull an Angus tenderloin from the fridge and dice it up; I used ribeye this time. It may seem strange to use such a good cut of beef when you're...

Hi Brethren, I humbly request suggestions and mentoring on my following plan. Thanks in advance for any/all responses. I will be out of the house Christmas morning. I should be back noonish. I'd like to roast a goose this year as I can get one frozen from local market. I'd like to put smoke...

A box arrived today and it was too small to be the raffle prize. So I popped it open and it was a present from the in-laws, who must be clairvoyant. Swagolicious! Jennifer said that I must be the happiest man on the planet, to which I told her "I already was before this box arrived"...

I live in New Zealand and our Christmas day will be probably hot as it is summer here, although rain showers are predicted. I want to grill a deboned leg of NZ Lamb on a weber kettle BBQ. I often grill pork with a nice simple rub (Salt, brown Sugar, Onion Powder, garlic powder, and a good...

I wanted to smoke a brisket for Christmas Eve, but I had to work that day and do some improvising. I ended up with this variation from Chris Lilly's original recipe. I ended up using dried appricot bits, instead of golden raisins. The filling is also slightly different. Outside of the knife...

I guess this could be considered kind of a bragging session, but...what, if any, was your best BBQ-related gift you either received or gave for Christmas? I will humbly admit mine was a pair of $15 "Bear Claws" my wife got me from Amazon. Cheap, but man, they work great!!! Pulled a Boston...

Dear BBQ Brethren and Sistern, Merry Christmas! I'm still new to this so please hang with me. Thanks. It's Christmas morning and I'm nibbling on the remains of last night's London Broil from the Weber Kettle. Oh My! This is so good that it's hard to stop and wipe off my fingers to keep...
