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, [...]

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, 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.

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 [...]

I’ve never professed to be an expert griller or pit master for that matter. With that said I would like to make a note about a mistake I have made more than once over the past few weeks. That is over-smoking the meat.
My first few forays into barbecuing were for large cuts of meat [...]

Over the weekend I helped a friend of mine move in to his new “loft-style” apartment. The temperature was well into the 90’s for most of the day. To reward our hard work we decided to grill up some burgers and cheese brats. I busted out the Smokey Joe, briquettes and a chimney on the [...]

The fourth is over and so is another great day of barbecuing. For this get together we invited 15 or so of our neighbors over for baby back ribs. We may have had every dip known to man in our kitchen - and even though I could live off of chicken wing dip, a barbecuing [...]
