Roughing it....

Please accept this entry for the Noobs!

I was on vacation/cabining remotely & away from my usual grilling equipment but was able to improvise some BB's on this gas grill. I used an Amazing tube smoker with apple wood pellets to add flavor. Ribs were seasoned in advance with some of Myron's Only Rub and sauced with some Stubs (Fortunately, you can find that almost anywhere!). Enjoy!

A tale of two chickens

Please accept this entry for the Noobs!

On the same vacation and trying to make everyone happy with some grilled chicken tenders for dinner done two ways 1) BBQ 2) Teriyaki.

Pretty straightforward cook. BBQ tenders were done with Myrons Only rub (packing light..) and sauced with Stubs. Teriyaki tenders were marinaded a day in advance with some jalapenos. Enjoy!

Shroink what???

Please accept this entry for the Noobs!

Shroink balls....Shimp & bacon combo to further expand the use of bacon on the grill with anything ediblie.

Ingredients for the balls:

- bacon
- 1 lb raw shimp
- tblsp of green pepper
- tblsp of onion
- tsp of minced garlic
- black pepper
- old bay to taste, I used about a tsp
- 1 egg yoke
- panko bread crumbs

I minced the shrimp, garlic, peppers, onions, & garlic in a food processor and then combined the other ingredients until I reached a meatball consistency, adding bread crumbs sparingly. Next, form into balls and wrap in bacon & hold in place with toothpicks. Dust on the outside with your favorite cajun spice. I used Slap Yo Mama's!

Grilled and smoked on my weber OTG with some peach wood.

In conclusion, Brisket!

Please accept this as my final entry for the Noobs!

After being away from my smoker, I felt like going big on my return a did a brisket cook for family and a few neighbors. Vacation is always good but being back home with a cold one and a smoker with large piece of meat on it was just perfect!

I like to cook brisket simply with some pecan chunk for flavor. I trim the fat to 1/4-3/8 thick by eye & use a salt and pepper based rub. For this cook, I used a rub from the Salt Lick which I picked up on my last trip to the Dallas area. Cook until reaching an internal temp of 195 and let rest for 45-60 min....enjoy!
