A Weekend of Pork

With the oncoming Fall season as well as the first real good weekend of football coming (I just love to watch the overpaid convicts with tattoos) I figured I would get the smokers going again.
The majority of what I cook ends up being pork. This weekend was no different. My kids have been [...]

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 [...]

The Public Grill

When living in an apartment without a deck the options for grilling are limited. Most nights I’ve resigned myself to boiling hot dogs and frying burgers in a pan. Since it was Labor Day weekend and I had a strong desire for some legit BBQ I made the tough decision to use the public grills [...]

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 [...]

Confession from the weekend

Ok to the 3 of you readers out in BlogNQue land…I have to get this out.
I’m not proud of it…and even had my kids present when I did this unspeakable act. I even did it with an audience and I’m sure I will pay, somewhere, somehow for my sin…(if there even is such [...]

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 [...]

Great Site

Gentlemen (and Pork Fat)
Nice site that you have here. With August almost over I will attempt to get the smoker started once again and come out of my cave. I will eventually get a photo or two and contribute to the blog with some of what The Rick likes to cook.
First and foremost, [...]

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 [...]
