Some Chicago Smoque

Over the weekend a few of us from BlogNQue went to Chicago to watch the Cubs play the tail spinning Cardinals. It was pure luck that the Cubs clinched the division on Saturday which made the trip even more fun. If the police are on ATV’s in Wrigleyville, you know good times are to be [...]

So You Thought Your BBQ Went Badly?

Just out of curiosity I was doing some news related searches involving barbeque and came across some gems that I thought would share with everyone. Think of this as a warning to those who thought backyard barbequeing was innocent and safe. You’ve been warned.
Ashes from company barbecue started Portland fire. Fairly innocent. So a few [...]

Hot Wing-End

So let me get this straight. Kentucky Fried Chicken enters the National Buffalo Wing Festival in New York and wins. According to the judges at the event, KFC’s Honey BBQ sauce is some seriously good stuff. Better than 185 other restaurants as a matter of fact.
Really? Last time I checked KFC was serving food poisoning [...]

Pulled Pork and Walking On Coals

With the little lady going out for her Bachelorette Party with the rest women in the ‘hood, I decided to cook up a pork shoulder in the WSM for the dudes. Ten hours decimated the collagen structure in the meat and turned this shoulder into the best pulled pork I’ve ever had. Yeah, I’m a [...]

Whole Hog at the Farm

We are back from the farm and feeling the effects of the 100 foot slip and slide. There are parts of my body that are sore that I didn’t know I had.

We arrived on Friday at around 6:00. We quickly set up our tent and got the pooch acclimated to her new surroundings. Since we [...]

Labor Day Weekend!

There is no better way to celebrate the “workingmen’s holiday” than by firing up the grill and kicking back with a frosty one. I did a quick search and found some information about the holidy from the U.S. Department of Labor’s website and figured I would post it. See - and you thought BlogNQue was [...]

The BBQ Proclamation

Since we are responsible for bringing lunchmeat sandwiches for 20+ people this weekend I went to Costco last night to stock up. While there I figured I would pickup more of my favorite lump charcoal made by the Original Charcoal Company. Here is a review of it from the Naked Whiz.
Unfortunately, the only brand they [...]

Looking to the Weekend

Just spoke with my brother-in-law about this weekend. We are going out to his property in Northern Missouri with 10 or so other couples to ride ATV’s, fish, BBQ, and cause all sorts of mayhem in general. We are planning on grilling burgers and brats Friday night, smoking chickens with the WSM Saturday night, and [...]

The WSM’s Maiden Voyage

The WSM, as it is often referred to, is the pet name BBQ enthusiasts have given the Weber Smokey Mountain. I purchased mine from the Suburban Leisure Center on Olive in Chesterfield, MO. I may have picked the hottest Saturday possible to set it up in the garage. Seriously, I felt like I was inside [...]

Ozark BBQ - Wobbly Boots

This past weekend we stayed at a fiend’s place at the Lake of the Ozarks. On Saturday we went cruising around and eventually landed at Dog Days in Osage Beach around nightfall. The dock was packed and so was the bar and dance floor. Everyone had that red plastered smile you tend to get when [...]
