I’ve been wanting one for a while. This week seemed like a good time (why, how would you celebrate your new book?). It was easy to put together and a breeze to operate. It is electric and uses wood pellets. It has a flame feature so when you want to sear that steak, you can … Continue reading New Smoker/Grill
I cut the backbone out of this one and smoked it over cherry wood for about five hours today, the last hour I mopped it with a heavy BBQ sauce. Add fries, beans, and slaw and you’ve got a real deal meal.
We roasted a pork butt in the oven last week and have been nibbling away at it since then. With some experience with the new smoker, minimal as it is, Mrs J wondered whether it would enhance the pork if it spent a little time in there. Good question!

I made up the rub, using brown sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, hot chili, cumin and oregano. But my brother did most of the smoking, setting … Continue reading Smoked Brisket

I had in mind pulled pork sammiches but I took a few slices for a nice lunch.I think roasted cauliflower is my new favorite veggie. I sliced a head and tossed it with salt and olive oil with a generous … Continue reading Smoked Shoulder
