For me hanger steaks are too thin for a reverse sear. I do them direct...hot and fast!! They are very tasty.

Yeah, the wife and I have been on a spinach salad kick lately. Very tasty! My wife doesn't handle spicy food so well either. She's much better than she used to be though.

The kidney beans are a different twist too me. I guess nachos are a blank canvas.

Good looking ribs. Dee sure can put together a salad! I can't believe how orange the egg yokes are...fantastic. I haven't tried Uncle Dougie's. I use the standard Frank's wing sauce. It's pretty good.

Just got back from New Orleans on Sunday. Best place for grits is the court of two sisters. Fantastic food all around.

Nice job! looks really good. Love pork racks. Costco carries them during the holidays and I pick 3 to 4 up to last through summer.

Darn good looking pies! Nice job.

Got-a love a good smash burger!

Awesome!! When he cooks on the 42" they are going to have to run the "this has been modified to fit your screen" disclaimer.

I'm late to the party but welcome. If you dedication to cooking and smoking is equal to your brewing we're in for a treat. Not much I love more than a home cooked meal and a good home-brewed IPA!! Again congratulations and welcome.

Another source for smoking wood is a cabinet shop. They usually have cherry, red oak, alder, maple, etc.. You might even be doing them a favor by cleaning up their scraps.

I'll have to try it next time I'm in Tampa.

You know what? I am. I smoked some spares for one of the guys that works there. He thought they were great! The best part is I don't drink coffee! I figure anything that goes in black and comes out yellow can't be good for you.

Much better thanks. Poor gal, she had to eat all of her meals in bed that day. On a side note, as stated I started Bob before sunrise. A couple hours latter I went to get the wife a latte. I was standing at the counter when the gal (barista) grab my shirt and said, "Oh my God you smell great!! I'm from Texas and your Q smells like home". I went back and gave her a 1/2 rack latter that day.

Thanks everyone! It was a fun day. My wife wasn't feeling well and the rain had let up a little so I decided to cook/smoke all day. I didn't include pics of the smash burgers C/I grilled on the Weber 22 and spinach salad I had for lunch.

Oh there was adult beverages or as I was calling them "KK Lube". I was enjoying Redtail Ale from Mendocino Brewing Co. YUM! good stuff. Just wanted to see if I could take pictures without having my beer in the shot.

BOOM! Nailed it! MacKenzie strikes again. Looks fantastic.

Once again...where's the beef!?

I spent Saturday with Bob. We started off the day before sunrise. I didn't take any pictures but, first up was a rack of baby back and a rack of St. Louise spares. The BB seasoned with King Kooker Hickory and the spares with S&P. Bob settled in at 225*. The spares came off after 3.5 hours and a little over four for the baby back. While the ribs were cooking I started getting breakfast ready. Bacon, mushrooms, asparagus, tater-tots, and an Italian cheese omelet. Egg meets omelet parts And on the plate. I like a nice lite and thin egg exterior. The ribs went into a towel lined ice chest and the chicken wings went on The wings cooked for an hour at 225*. They got turned and Bob was cranked up to 400* to finish the wings off for the next 45 minutes. Can wings have a money shot? HA!! Crisp skin and juicy interior. YUM!! Cranked Bob up to 600* and did a nice steak for dinner. Mushrooms and asparagus as usual. Thanks for looking. Paul

Was this Charlie's? They put out wonderful meals.

That's a fine looking meal!! I bet no one left hungry.

Nice!! That's what happens here most of the time. Few days of sunshine followed by flower buds then a nice hard freeze to kill every thing.

Great looking ribs. The salsd looks fantastic!!

Lots of snow. I like how the chipmunks and squirrels use their tails as umbrellas to cover up over their backs and heads.

Very nice! I need to venture out of the box more often and try something like this.
