Cooking Easter dinner on the smoker or grill may not be traditional but it might just be the best holiday dinner you've ever had. Almost any kind of meat cooked in the oven, is even better cooked in the smoker and this includes lamb, ham, beef, pork, and even fish and seafood. In this newsletter, I am going to direct your … [Read more...]

Smoked Beef Back Ribs
Smoked beef back ribs are not extremely meaty like most pork ribs but, I think they reign supreme in terms of flavor. Cut from the prime rib, all that tasty fat is present to help the ribs stay moist and to give them tons of flavor. By cooking them low and slow, a lot of that fat will melt away leaving the meat extremely delicious and tender. In this recipe, I use my rub as it is is to give the meat a nice sweet and spicy crust but I also show you how to modify my rub recipe to remove the "sweet" … [Read more...]
Smoked Bacon Wrapped Chicken Thighs
These smoked, bacon wrapped chicken thighs, absolutely must be tried to be appreciated! The thigh meat is naturally the tastiest part of the chicken, in my opinion, and then to soak it in buttermilk (for tenderness and flavor), dry brine it with my very own rub and wrap it in bacon and smoke it until perfectly done just takes things to a level that makes my mouth water just thinking about it! I also made an orange barbecue sauce and brushed that on a time or two during the process to keep the meat nice … [Read more...]
Smoked Pulled Pork Stuffed Mushrooms
I happen to love smoked mushrooms but I do realize that not everyone is as big of a fan of these as I am. For this reason, I am going to show you how to make a couple of fillings for the smoked mushrooms, but know that they will work just as well stuffed into small sweet peppers, jalapeños sliced in half, stuffed then wrapped in bacon, or even as a chip dip (think Fritos® Scoops). I do suggest that you at least try the mushrooms since smoking them changes the flavor and you might decide, like other mushroom … [Read more...]
Beer Brined Smoked Cornish Hens
These smoked cornish hens are fun-sized at about a pound each and are a great choice for dinner guests or even a family dinner since everyone gets their own little personal chicken. I started thinking about brining these in beer after considering them as a small version of the beer can chicken. The problem with setting them on a can of beer is that, while it helps them stand upright, it does not effectively add any beer flavor to the meat. By brining them in beer, you are not only adding that beer flavor … [Read more...]
Smoked Pork Tenderloin – Tender, Tasty, Moist
Smoked pork tenderloin is one of my favorite cuts of pork and I, being the pork lover that I am, have a hard time choosing between this cut and the filet of beef.. it really is THAT good. Cooked correctly, it is tender, tasty, and very moist without a lot of fuss. Many folks confuse the pork tenderloin with the pork loin and while the tenderloin is a portion found within the loin, I would always rather have it separately if given the choice. It does cost a little more than the pork loin, pound for pound … [Read more...]
