Ribs! It’ what’s for dinner!

I’ve never had much luck with beef ribs.  The last couple of times I’ve tried smoking them, they have come off the smoker dry, almost like jerky on a bone.  Very little meat and just horrible. This time however, I was able to pick up a rack of beef ribs that were meaty and well

Brisket Burgers…

I love brisket.  I’m not sure if I like brisket as much a chuck roast on the smoker, but after reading about home ground hamburger meat made from a brisket I knew I had to give it a shot.  It took me two stores to find a brisket that had the look and feel I

One of the great things about the BBQ community is the willingness to share ideas.  I came across this great post on one of my fellow BBQ Brethren’s blog.

All Night Chuck Roast Smoke Fest

11:00PM (12/5/2008) – Sixty three pounds of chuck roast, rubbed with Plowboys “Bovine Bold” and ready for the smokers.

08:00AM (12/6/2008) – Nine hours in.  Smokers are holding pretty well at the 230 degree mark.  Meat is averaging 165 degrees.  Just need to get through the plateau and we’re home free.

1st Cook on new 26 inch Weber One-Touch Kettle

This new 26 inch kettle is huge. Here is is with a whole bag of lump in it.

This isn’t your mother’s bologna!

I’ve been reading about smoked bologna for a couple of months and thought I would give it a try yesterday.

First thing I did was take a 6 pound bologna chub and rubbed it down with olive oil and a good dose of Plowboys new beta beef rub.

Smoked the chub at 225 degrees with Wild Cherry
