Tonight I started drinking W'11 KGB a Russian Imperial Stout from Widmer brothers. I a not usually a Stout drinker, they usually don't quite fit my taste buds especially the most popular stouts. I will say that this stout I will be a return buyer because it is creamy, has a nice bite like a pale ale would and is very bold like you'd expect from a stout. A stouts origin comes from porters an rich

This is one of my favorite rubs it can have a tendency to be a little spicy but can be tempered with how many of the spicy peppers you put in to make your rub. This chili rub is made from dried peppers and gives off better flavors than most of the crap on the shelves in the stores even though there is a few that are good but usually cost more. This rub will give that higher quality flavor and

The past few years my youngest son has had intestinal problems in which he has gone through more testing in various ways than most people over 50 have had to do. From this testing everything seemed to work itself out and nothing really could be diagnosed, but recently he has been getting more and more stomach aches in which we took him back to the doctor to see what is up. After being seen the

The other day i took advantage of the no rain in Vancouver while I was at my dads house and put a pork tenderloin in there smoker for about 4 hours I pulled it out about 5 degrees from peak temperature and thing was juicy. it had a lovely pink smoke ring and white in the middle. every time I cut it after letting it rest for about 15 minutes just clear fluids poured out Uhh just thinking about it

NINKASI brewing has out out some pretty spectacular beers thus being my first time trying there beer I will say I am impressed. Tonight I tried two of there beers the first being Total Domination IPA this is definitely full bodied crisp with the right amount of bitter that you'd expect from an IPA. With a 6.75% alcohol content this beer is equivalent to many of the great IPA's on the market

Here is a little ditty about BBQ. These guys are funny they explain what the differences of how southern states BBQ in song form. For people that really don't know about BBQ other than it is something you do on the weekend with friends. You are a little missed informed because barbecue means slow cooked smoked foods. how you prep it and type of sauce you may or may not use makes all the

Last night I had some supremo BBQ Pork tenderloins man it was good! But I had alot leftover since I smoke a whole tenderloin for a family of six so that means some killer leftovers. You have many options of what to do with it like some pork sandwiches or use it to make some chili but tonight I made some super simple smoked pork enchiladas.

So it has been awhile since I've posted but here is the primo 3 shot for ya. Saturday I was suppose to have guests over but plans got changed unknowingly and so here I am with a whole tenderloin. What shall I do? Since I'm not going to let it go to waste I cut it up into 3 roasts and used 3 seperate rubs in which I'll sauce 2 of them and use the leftovers tommorrow and have smoked pork

OK it is the end of summer and some of us put away the grill until late spring. Here are some tips you can do to save yourself some costly replacements by doing a few things before putting it away. 1. Take the grills / grates off and store them inside. Moisture outside seems to wreek havoc on them and by the time you open your grill or smoker again it has rusted then you have to by a new one. If

I was over at the Instructables website and seen this interesting way to make a smoker out of a 55 gallon drum. I have had this on my mind for a while and I might have to try it out. If I do I will post how I did it in comparison to this guy..Making of a Drum Smoker - More DIY How To Projects

Tri-Tip definitely one of my most favorite type of meats and it is one that is a simple fix. Simplicity rules this game in creating a delicious grilled meat. Cook it in roast form although you can pull it off in steak form but you get more flavor and texture ranges from a roast. the crispy salty outside layer to the soft, pink and juicy middle Oh and lets not for get about the end pieces for

Have you ever given the thought of your grill brush. Probably not I would say because it just become normal to most people to buy a new one every spring and maybe another in mid summer. Have you ever been annoyed by this because I am. The only reason I was thinking about is only because a buddy of mine bought me a grill set because the store he works for was clearancing them out and he could get

My neighbor came to me this morning offering interesting delectables from his garden that he didn't have time to cook. He came along with some nice purple Eggplant, this is something I do not have a lot of experience with. The fact is I have only attempted cooking this bad once and I didn't pull it off successfully it came out a little chewy and lack of flavor but that was when I was less

I've been thinking about these fish tacos all day and from the response of my family and the neighbor they seem to have been better than expected. Can't complain about that if I did I would be a fool. The fish was marinated in oranges and then topped with my spicy chili rub and then finished off with an orange glaze. I also did some shrimp that was marinated in lemon and lime and grilled. Not

Man this is great sitting outside in this great Pacific Northwest summer weather watching the kids drinking iced tea. Can this get any better! Tonight is fish taco night so I started thinking what i could do to them. I've been on a real citrus kick lately but since it is summer I'm taking advantage of the lower prices on citrus fruits and using them in my recipes. On tonight menu it will be Spicy

I had this idea for ribs after having a South American dish called POK CHU this is very delicious and I thought would be great as ribs. I would do this with baby back ribs since they are naturally the most tender ribs. Ingredients Baby back ribs 2- lemons (large) 2-oranges 2- limes (large) 1 small onion or 1/2 of a large onion 5-6 cloves of garlic 1 cup of brown sugar Salt pepper
