Charcoal...

I like this charcoal.



I use it in my Weber grills, sometimes in the pit and I will use it in the new WSM's I bought.



Be my luck Lowe's will stop carrying it. But anyway...

The WSM is about ready for a break in cook. I had more access doors made because I don't like the loose fitting flimsy doors that came with them. A little fine tuning and they will be ready to go.

A day in the life of...

Thought I'd post a few pictures of past cooks.









Kind of makes you hungry...

For the love of "Q"...

I haven't gotten to fire up the pit so far this year. Between rain, work, and other things, I just don't have time right now. But the BBQ sauce and BBQ rub sales have picked up again.

I have to make a half gallon of BBQ sauce (that is sold for Monday) for a man that runs a catering business this weekend. Word of mouth has helped a lot.

The BBQ rub has had great field test results and the sauce is gaining word of mouth as well. Everything is homemade right now. Whenever I can find time and a co-packer, I may be able to bring them to market for the public.

I'm also working on a vinegar sauce because you can't find any around here and I'm sure it would sell in this market.

We'll see...

The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been.

Spring...

Thank the Lord I made it through another winter.



Two things I'm itching to do this spring, fire the pit up for some 'Q' and attempt once again to do a smoked meatloaf and try to make some smoked grilled oysters.

The smoked meatloaf...I talked to WhiteTrashBBQ last year and tried it out and it was good, but I need to work on it some more, I didn't really have the right pan to grill this in.

Next the grilled oysters...

I love grilled shrimp and fish but I have only eaten oysters on the half shell.

When I saw a recipe for smoked grilled oysters that looked and read good, I said to myself I'm going to have to try that.

So my (To Cook) list is coming out of the closet for a new year of trial and error.

Lucky me...
