Summer is just getting started.

Sun, 06 Jun 2010 23:17:25 GMT

It's just about time for me to fire up the grill... again. About a month ago, mama and I threw together a quick marinade for some chicken. We grilled it and sauteed a few onions and peppers to go with it. As it turns out, they were as good as any fajitas we had ever eaten anywhere else. They were so good, we decided to have them again tonight. This time we got them in the marinade for a little longer. The fun is about to start, and we're both looking forward to it. By the way... I fixed some baby back ribs for Memorial Day. The turned out very good (according to Judy). I thought they were a little salty. I guess I got carried away with my rub.

Another Pork Tenderloin?

Mon, 31 May 2010 04:04:22 GMT

My wife and I have been invited to our daughter's house for another Pork Tenderloin dinner. I neglected to tell you that several weeks ago we were lucky enough to experience the same meal... and what a meal it was. Shane (my son-in-law) has an electric smoker. It doesn't get too hot, but it is very stable and consistent like an electric oven. He smoked a 4 pound pork loin using the smoker and some water-soaked wood chips. Maybe it was the well controlled temperature and maybe it was something else. I don't know exactly what caused it... but... that was the very best pork tenderloin that I have ever eaten. The whole family was in agreement. There has never been anything to compared to that piece of meat. It was cooked to a perfect doneness, very tender, very moist, and a perfect texture. There were no leftovers. This has already been a busy Memorial Day weekend. I smoked baby-back ribs today (the wife said they were great), and now we get to go have another pork tenderloin on Memorial Day. What a weekend. I hope my expectations don't get me into trouble.

Which Wood?

Memorial Day Outdoor Fun (BBQ)

Sat, 01 May 2010 22:32:19 GMT

Memorial Day is just around the corner. The official kickoff day of Summer. Be thinking about what to do and what to cook. You can plan a big party with lots of friends, or just grill some hot dogs and hamburgers for the kids. It's all good. Enjoy yourself and relax. Take your time off seriously. It's just as important as your work. Relaxation is healthy, and this is a perfect opportunity. Hopefully, you will have perfect weather in your neck of the woods. This is the time of year that I try to smoke and grill (here in Texas), because the weather is so nice. Depending on where you live, your "grilling weather" may not have arrived yet. But fear not... it's coming. Come to think of it... somewhere in the world, there is perfect "grilling weather" every day. Well, folks... I just wanted to remind you about Memorial Day approaching and wish you happy BBQing. .... And have another drink. We all know that weather can sometimes be an obstacle. But when it comes to BBQ and the weather is not perfect, it's usually just a minor inconvenience.

A Day Like Any Other

Sat, 01 May 2010 20:51:32 GMT

Today was such a nice day that I decided to put off all the other things I needed to be doing and grill. Sometimes it's just nice to drop everything and grill (especially if you haven't in a while). It was nothing elaborate or time consuming. My wife and I took our coffee out to the back patio and just relaxed. I fried up a little bacon and scrambled eggs in a skillet on the side burner (you just can't scramble eggs on the grill). To go with it, I grilled some sliced potatoes, onions, and green peppers. We put it all together in a flour tortilla with some salsa and shredded cheese. It was quite a brunch. It reminded me of fajitas with those grilled onions and peppers. Well, I guess it's time to get back to the grind of those never-ending chores around the house. But, don't you let yourself get caught up in all of your daily duties so that you don't take time out for a little relaxation. You need that. And... you deserve it.

Smoked Brisket Rub - When to Rub

Wed, 31 Mar 2010 02:54:12 GMT

Spring is in the Air

Mon, 29 Mar 2010 02:07:34 GMT

March Madness is in full swing, spring has sprung, and the weather is getting warmer. I would say it's time to BBQ. I've had a few burger cookouts and grilled some steaks recently, but now it's time for some good slow smoking'. I'm a little late getting into the swing of things this year. I have been working on some home improvement projects and a few honey do's. I even brewed a batch of beer a couple of weeks ago (it is conditioning in the keg as I type). But the time has come to put away non-BBQ things and get down to business. I haven't decided yet, but I have narrowed it down to either ribs or pork butt. You should consider the same. It's about time, you know. And remember, they don't always come out perfect... but you can always "get another drink, and try again." Hipshot

Get Ready for March Madness

Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:07:35 GMT

Why not get ready for March Madness with a little BBQ? I look forward to March Madness more than any other sporting event. For those of you who might not know, March Madness refers to a week of college basketball like none other. It is the National tournament of the best 65 teams in the country to determine a National Champion. Naturally my team is Kansas University (KU). Even though I have lived in Texas for the last 35 years, I grew up and went to high school less than 30 miles from Lawrence, Kansas. I have been a Jayhawk all my life. In February I went with my son and his wife to Austin and watched KU beat Texas. You KNOW I was behind KU. In the midst of all of those Longhorns (by the way, I'm also a Longhorn alumni myself) there were a surprising number of Jayhawk fans. But... I digress... I am reminding you of March Madness as another excellent excuse to BBQ. If you don't want to get into a long smoke of brisket or pork butt, then maybe try grilled pizza or grilled veggies. Whatever you decide, enjoy yourself, your fellowship, and your BBQ.

New Year's Suggestion

Sat, 02 Jan 2010 05:47:44 GMT

Here is a suggestion worth looking into. Rob from Vermont writes: You have a GREAT website. Very informative, logical and entertaining. I have found one element that makes BBQ perfect every time. I bought a commercial marinator from Revel that first places the meat or vegetables in a vacuum. This process opens up the pores of the meat or vegetable. It takes about two minutes. That is followed by laying the container horizontally on rollers where the marinade and meat/vegetable is tumbled for 5 - 20 minutes depending upon type of food, weight, etc. When cooked, the marinade is not only coating the surface, but is actually inside the meat along with its natural juices. The taste is out of this world. With your marinades, the combination is magical to say the least. Hope this suggestion helps! Rob

BBQ for Christmas

Fri, 11 Dec 2009 04:37:02 GMT

I don't normally tell you to go out and buy your BBQ sauce. But, at this time of year, it's an easier way to give them out as gifts (unless, of course, you have some of your special homemade sauce already packaged up and ready to go). Armadillo Peppers has a very large variety of BBQ sauce, salsa, pepper jelly, hot sauce, and more. I spent a long time just looking at all of the choices. They have Crazy Mother Pucker's BBQ Sauce, Smack Yo Mama Hot Sauce, Gift Baskets, and a hot sauce so hot, that there is a warning and disclaimer you must agree to before you buy it. I am telling you all of this because I have already ordered and received a lot of sauces and jellies, myself. I plan to give most of them as Christmas gifts for my family and friends. I haven't tried nearly everything yet, but what I have sampled is excellent. You didn't think I would just buy gifts for everyone else, did you? I also have quite a number of items for myself, too. I just wanted to let you know, in case you like the idea of giving BBQ sauces as Christmas gifts too. By the way, if you have never tried pepper jelly... it is a real treat. You'll find out... and I think you'll agree with me. Merry Christmas everyone. Hipshot

What's Up for Labor Day?

Sat, 29 Aug 2009 16:52:49 GMT

Last weekend my son-in-law offered to buy a pig so we could cook it in an underground pit for Labor Day Weekend. We both got a little excited, and started talking about it. Neither one of us had ever done anything like that, so I told him I would have to look into it a little more. I went online and found a lot of details about digging the pit, burning the coals, seasoning the meat, using foil, wet burlap, and fencing. It was all reasonable and understandable. But then I started running into comments and opinions about how it was more work than it was worth. What really made me take notice was a comment that said I would be better off cooking over an open-air fire, because an underground pit would be like boiling it. The more I think about that, the more I tend to agree with it. If the meat being buried underground is closed off from the air, it would be like it was in a pot with the lid on tight. It would be boiled (or steamed) with only the seasonings that I have added. Boiled meat might get done and be tender, but smoked meat would sure tase better. I don't want to discourage any of you from trying a pig in the ground. Heck.. I'll probably get around to trying it myself one of these days. I just decided that I didn't want to take on that big of a project this year. I want to keep it a little more simple. There is never a shortage of ideas for things to grill or smoke. Even if you grill veggies for appetizers, there is always something. In recent weeks, my family and I have had burgers ,steaks, chops, and pizza on the grill. This Labor Day Weekend might be a good time to smoke a pork butt (we haven't had that in a while). Whatever you decide to cook this year, have a good time doing it. It doesn't matter whether you have hotdogs or prime rib, take your time and enjoy it. You already know that the gathering of family and friends is the most important thing. Some good food is just an added bonus. So... kick back and have another drink. Hipshot

All Set for Another Fourth of July

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 16:44:38 GMT

On the last days of our trip to Branson, my wife (Judy) and I made our last stop at her sister's (Janet) house. This year, our Fourth of July BBQ happened a day earlier. Yesterday, and into the night last night, things were really smokin'. We had an offset smoker and plenty of hickory to get us going. Janet had a brisket, 6 slabs of baby back pork ribs, and a couple of lobster tails. I know what you're thinking...only the 3 of you are not going to eat all that food! The plan was to cut up, package, and freeze the majority of it for months of BBQ lunches to come. And it worked out perfectly, too. The brisket got to go first along with half of the ribs. About 4 hours into it, the ribs were ready. Part of them were served for supper, along with the lobster (which was finished off in a cast iron skillet at the grill, with butter, salt and pepper, lime thyme, dill, and garlic) Once there was enough room on the grill, the remaining ribs were added. The brisket and ribs were seasoned with salt, pepper, onion and garlic. Janet can't have any sugars, so seasoning was kept simple and to her liking (after all, it's her meat) After another 4 hours, the rest of the meat was removed from the grill and allowed to rest. We cut it into portions and went through lots of Ziplock bags to freeze it. Today (4th), it's time to relax. BBQing is already done, and yet eat as much BBQ as you want. I love to BBQ, and had a blast doing it yesterday. But, sometimes, it's nice to have your time free to play with the kids or visit with family. Anyway, it's something to think about. BBQing on the 4th of July is always great. But you could do it the day before, if it would work better for your situation. I can easily do it either way (or both). I just love to BBQ. But, the option is out there. Happy 'Qing. All the best,
Hipshot

Is it Done Yet?

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 19:48:58 GMT
