Tonight I wanted to try out my new toy, A Kamado Joe cast iron Wok. I liked its shallow shape with a nice gentle slope to push food onto as it neared completion. It arrived nicely pre-seasoned and ready for use after a quick cleaning. Seasoned rice was prepared in a ceramic on cast iron pot...

Howdy folks. I have an excuse to possibly justify buying a new grill. :loco: My grilling experience ranges from gas 3-burners, to a decade on a Weber kettle, and the past six years using an Akorn and a KJ Big Joe. Two buddies and I are cooking in the backyard division of a KCBS sponsored...

I gotta admit upfront.....this was not one of my better briskets.....even though it was one of the more expensive briskets I've bought. It was a select cut that was not on sale.....but I walked into the store yesterday wanting brisket.....so a mini packer is what I came out with. The weather...

Suspect weather had me indoors.....hate grilling in the rain. Wanted to have this meal ready by 3:30pm. Really enjoying this entire album while cooking: I think that this is their best rub !!!!!! Gotta love the Thermapen......keeps me from...

Gonna enjoy this day off.....starting in a relaxing way, too. Late yesterday afternoon I loaded up the grill with some FoGo lump. Really nice sized pieces....grate gripper tool for reference. I put several fist sized hickory chunks in afterwards, too. I let her run steady for a...

Schoolday sliders for an ever-hungry kid. I hope you each are getting some of this insanely great local weather and some time off to enjoy hanging with your family. Had a 3:30pm turn in time for this cook. Sounds dumb to put time limits on grilling.....but, for me it's a good...

Just kidding. It's 77 degrees and sunny. Greatest time of the year around here. No pollen to speak of, nice breeze....things starting to turn green and bloom........great time to live in the South. Check back in a couple months when it's constant humidity and triple digit temps can...

Had a hungry kid coming home from school and had some fresh ground beef & Hawaiian rolls on hand. Rain kept me indoors on this cook. I really want to get some Kamado Joe cast iron D&C inserts for use on my BigJoe for future smashburger cooks. I think these will offer the acreage and...

Had a break in the weather today.....my first day off in the last in the last several days. 30 degrees higher than yesterday. Crazy, but welcomed !!!! New tunes krunk up as loud as I dare..... Son loved...

Another perfect weather day.....we'd best enjoy it while we can. Cooked up some sausage biscuits and watched them disappear before my eyes. Son killed these and two more. He's a lean mean eating machine when he spies something to his liking. Best frozen biscuits I've ever had...

After the meatball experience the other day....my family ate them up quicklike.....in subs & on Angel hair pasta. My wife had suggested I use them on pizza.....then said that's what she wanted yesterday. So I had fun making up another batch. Seems they laugh at my signing along.....grossly...

I always laugh when folks talk about "can't wait for grilling season". In this state....it's always grilling season. Yesterday was no exception. I really have mad respect for my Q brothers and sistas who are grilling it up in the ice & snow in other parts of the globe. I'd be doing the...
