Hi guys, as the old timers here know, I no longer have a Smokin-It smoker but I still chime in here and there because I enjoy the hobby of BBQ and like to read others experiences and share my own, all for the betterment of the craft. I have had a multitude of cookers over the years and I have...

I hope you're all doing well in this crazy time. I know I have been going a little stir crazy but at lease I am well. I have been trying to keep my mind off of things, been busy down in the basement. Redecorating the man cave a little. The issue is, now that I have gotten that done, I have no...

In between "handling" things yesterday in regards to my ailing father, I decided to cook. I am not as in tune as I once was when it comes to taking pictures. I didn't take any of me making the ice cream or making pasta, I didn't even take a picture of what my wife made her with the pasta but oh...

I am continuing to broaden my horizons in the culinary world :) This post is about my foray into making home made pasta. I can't lie and say I wasn't a little bit intimidated by this! My Wife found a recipe online for stuffed ravioli with a Parmesan, cream and lemon sauce so I made up a batch...

The good thing about having a wife that cook her tail off and a son that's a Sous Chef is that we can knock out some grub like a professional kitchen (well maybe not,lol). My wife took some pork belly and cooked some on the pelletizer and some in the oven. The outdoor belly was made for pork...

Back in the mid 90s Arby's sold a sandwich which I LOVED called the Western Bacon Club. It was offered in either roast beef or chicken and I enjoyed both. I would eat one a week if not 2! It was for a limited time and it went away, never to return much to my chagrin. For years I have wished...

It's been a little bit since I checked in. I hope everyone is well. It looks like a few more members have signed up in my absence. I have been busy at work and at life like always, not been cooking all that much. As a matter of fact, my wife does most of the BBQing these days, I consider myself...

;D ;D :P

Well since I didn't make a video of the butt smoking I figured I'd share a video that I DID make. I wanted to test the GPS tracking feature of my camera. It's nifty but it does have a lag, for most people it will not be an issue but on this particular ride it just couldn't track me as fast as a...

LOL! She wanted to take the KBQ for a spin so she smoked up a butt for last night's dinner. It was excellent! I made up some slaw and hand cut fries and smoked some baked beans (no pics of beans) to go with it. I was going to make a video out of this but I was just too busy. It was too...

Here's a stupid little video I made, I had fun with it. It's not very informative really, just showing me prep and cook a brisket. I meant to record me slicing it but didn't press the "record" button on the camera though I sure thought I did, lol. https://youtu.be/zia-kg2Tyds

I know I am a but an occasional visitor here anymore but I am in the process of making a brisket "How-To" video just for the fun of it. I wonder how many (if any) would like to see it? I am by NO MEANS an expert at this, a backyard hack at best but I thought it might be fun. Keep in mind I no...

As some of you know I am a 2-Wheeled enthusiast. I started off as a kid on different motorcycles that were around the house at the time. Having one of my older brothers be a gear head helped facilitate that I suppose. We seemed to always have something running and if not, had friends with...

I guess you could just as easily call it a pizza with chicken on it but it did taste like Chicken Parm! I took some chicken tenders and cut them into nugget sized pieces and basically treated them like I would a chicken breast made for chicken parmesan. I had my son do that part, dipped in egg...

Who doesn't like a good BLT? Very few I'd imagine. We didn't feel like cooking up a big meal tonight so we went diving in the freezer and pulled out the pork belly we smoked not so long ago. The better half decided that she wanted to make BLTs out of it so that's what she did. She took...
