So almost 6 years ago I started working on turning a 275 gallon heating oil tank into a pit. Here's the original thread: https://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=154533 Then, I hit a couple of setbacks and had to stop working on it. A year and a half later, I was able to start...

I think this was my 15th brisket. If it wasn't, it is now. For my 15th brisket (and the experts here say you need to cook at least 15 before you get your brisket chops), I decided to channel N8Man and Bludawg. 16.98 pound brisket from Smart and Final: Trimmed about 3 pounds of hard and...

So, as is my custom (a new addition to my honeydew list) on the weekends, I make curry. You can use this curry over rice, over chicken, with paneer, eggplant, whatever. When I can, I use roma tomatoes, because it cuts down the sodium over canned tomatoes. I "borrowed" this recipe from Bon...

So the local Albertson's was selling Pork Sirloin Roast at 88 cents a pound, so I bought one. Then I see that the new Throwdown is SPOG http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=221769 , so I say to myself, "Kill two birds with one stone". I'm running low on SPOG, so I have to...

So I bit the bullet and bought a lamb shoulder. 3 lbs. No pic of the nekkid little lamb. sorry. Rubbed with a paste of garlic, oregano, black pepper and parsley, and let it sit overnight. No, I did not add salt to the rub; I have been placed on a low sodium diet (I still cook full sodium for...

I'm waiting on my firewood to be cut so i can go pick it up, but i couldn't wait any longer to fire up this monster i built in my backyard. She's somewhat temporary, and dry stacked, but once i work out all the kinks of cooking this way, I'm gonna re-stack her with a solid foundation and mortar...

The other day I was browsing the net and I saw a video of how to debone a chicken and instantly thought, I could do that. ChefSteps.com asked if they could post the below photo on their Facebook page, so I thought I should share it here too, since yall taught me about smoking and how to build...

From this thread: http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/showthread.php?t=180162 So I picked up some chicken thighs from my local Stater Brothers: In a nod to TonyBel, I decided to make some yakitori chicken. Hold your horses, I'm getting to the filet...... I changed the recipe from rice...

Good evening! So we start with a 5 pound whole loin..... Trim trim here, trim trim there.... Just needs a little bacon..... Looks like a flat iron, but it's not.... ...a little seasoning (JK Western Pride for the rounds and Weber Chicago for the flat) and a quick trip to the...

Good morning Brethren! I was in Maui last week, and Mrs SJ said I had to unplug. Only two food pics: Here is one..... Guess whose bag got yanked by TSA Screeners? The other will appear in another forum.

So I started building a mini WSM a week or 2 ago and had it finished (enough) to cook on last weeked. I did a small cook Friday night with ribs and sausage to test/season. Then cut up 2 racks of spares and trimmings for Saturday. I couldn't have asked for this thing to work any better...

So, I decided not to do my Kettle Fried Chicken N8Man-style. But here is another cautionary tale for you would-be Kettle Fryers: Go by the book the first few times, THEN deviate. The finished product tasted good, but it wasn't visually appealing. Let's begin: 5 Chicken quarters will be...

As part of my Memorial Day Weekend cook, and because I've got to lose some weight, I grilled some veggies (Zucchini, Artichokes, Yams, Potatoes, Yellow Bell Pepper, and Corn) on the gasser. Here they are: Chicken Thighs Whole Chicken 2 Tri-tips 3 Bones of beef ribs (this will prove...

So I planned to fire up the ECB and UDS smokers this weekend and experiment. I was going to cold smoke some avocado and cheddar cheese, and hot smoke a pork belly and a shoulder. I haven't smoked cheese before, so I'm going to sacrifice a brick to the smoke gods, and add more if...

These were all done on a Char-Broil Santa Fe Grill, which I McGyvered into being an offset smoker. Apologize for the the "afters"; The rest of the pics were on a hard drive that went belly up with no backup. But, I figure fresh prOn never hurts. I am (because my better half is insisting)...

I think this is my first attempt at pron, so go easy on me. Went camping with a buddy of mine over the weekend. Did some Peruvian style chix on the mini, followed by ribs the 2nd night. The chicken was absolutely incredible, but I forgot to take pictures. The ribs were the best yet, though I'm...

Well, I received all my parts for the Mini on Friday and got to work. An hour later and I had my first ever smoker, with big plans of having a new addiction! I used plans from Matt_A with a little help from everyone else that put pictures on here from their build (thank you so much for...

Good Day my fellow brethren. Id like to say thank you too all of you who have posted anything related to what is the glory of the UDS. I decided to build three of them this past november and I could not have done it without all of your help. They are working out better than I could have...

In my ever growing love of taking pictures of my food I decided to enroll in a photography class. The instructor and my classmates are highly amused. I guess they never dreamed someone would only take food photos for critique! My classmates show photos of mountains, babies, flowers.... and I...

Just put some nice looking beef ribs on the Primo XL. Rubbed with Magic Dust and cooking them with apple chunks. Last time I cooked these the silverskin on the back made them near inedible so I went at them pretty hard with the trimming this time around. A friend of mine claims that in good ribs...
