Thinking about going to the store later and grabbing some ribs to smoke.

---

Rubbed 3 racks last night that I'm going to smoke today. Probably throw on a few loaves of venison meatloaf to go with it.

---

Sounds good. What kind of smoker?

---

Kamado Big Joe

Doing Oklahoma burgers on the Blackstone at some point tonight. Probably depends on how the game is going

About halfway through smoking 3-2-1 ribs on the Weber Kettle today using the snake method. Got the TV on the back deck for the game. Life is good.

---

That does sound good.

Thanks for sharing. Ribs are tomorrow for the race. Tonight, the wife is cooking a small ham, with some basic sides.

Going to grill some thick cut pork chops with sweet potatoes. Been wanting a sweet potato.

Hate the early days, going to grill some brats and grilling beans. What has everyone been grilling?

Simple sandwich for me…

Was thinking about this weekend as well. I need to look at the weather. I did a drier January..lol

Making pepper beef stout for the game tonight. Anyone else cooking today?

I'm doing New York strips with, steamed broccoli and cream potatoes.

The Wilbur's owner's son did a barbecue pop-up shop in our neighborhood that I fortuitously walked up on on a dog walk.

Picked up some Que, brisket, Brunswick stew, slaw, and banana pudding.

Was not the plan for tonight but had to jump at the opportunity. Dinner is covered!

Off Oberlin in Raleigh...it was completely random.

The son evidently moved to Raleigh and commutes to Goldsboro several times a week. I told him I'd appreciate him making the pop-up shop an every Saturday event, ha!

Instead of Chili/Wings I stumbled upon a Taco Soup Receipt. Turned out pretty good.

Dumb question, but how'd you do it? Smoke the meat and then dutch oven?

Surf and turf for me. Steaks cut up from a single flank (I think that was the cut, someone else did the slicing) and salmon with lemon-dill olive oil, Chardonnay and salmon rub in foil over Sam's Club lump charcoal.

Basically this http://www.thewolfepit.com/2009/10/pepper-stout-beef.html

Ive done the whole thing both on the grill and in the oven. After the covered cook, I usually throw the chuck on a plate for 20ish minutes and hand shred it. I dont like giant chunks of beef fat, so if I can pick those off, I usually do. Either throw it back on the grill or the oven until most of the liquid is gone. Leftovers freeze really good

Got half a bushel of stump sounders getting ready to land on my deck in half an hour. Oyster knives are out, music is playing, baseball game is on, and the beer is cold.

Hope everyone has a great Valentine's Day weekend!

---

Cheers! Hope you have a great weekend and sounds like you got everything under control there. Tonight is going to be an easy fridge night and bourbon. If you remember, any pics of the before or after dinner would be appreciated.

Chicken enchilada soup tonight, beef stew tomorrow. Wanted some soup/stews with the possible winter weather next week

I haven't decided on anything yet. I've got about 3 things I want to do. Tough decision ahead…lol

It's time to bring this thing full circle!!!

In honor of the 2024 "Cardiac Pack".....

I have just put a 5 lb. pork loin on the smoker at a cool 180 degrees after brining it in a beer/vinegar concoction.

Gonna slow roast this thing and sip on some morning beers!

Enjoy guys!!!!

Taking a trip, whether it's a short ride around town or a longer adventure, requires some preparationespecially when it comes to your vehicle. For scooter or moped owners, this means checking the tires, brakes, and fluid levels before hitting the road. While these steps help with safety and performance, understanding the vehicle's history can be just as important, particularly if it's a secondhand purchase.

A vehicle history check can reveal crucial information about past accidents, repairs, or title issues. If you're buying or verifying a used scooter or moped, you can easily get this information with a simple VIN search. One convenient tool for this is https://www.faxvin.com/vin-check/scooter-moped FaxVin's VIN check for scooters and mopeds, which provides a comprehensive report in just a few clicks.

Knowing your vehicle's history helps you avoid hidden problems that might otherwise go unnoticed. It also gives you peace of mind when you're on the road, knowing your ride is safe and reliable. Along with regular maintenance, keeping track of your scooter's background is a smart way to ensure a smooth, enjoyable tripwhether you're commuting to work or exploring new places on your next adventure. Safe travels!

That beer/vinegar brine sounds interestinggives it a nice tangy flavor, I bet. What kind of wood are you using for the smoke? I've had great results with applewood on pork loin.

That sounds good. We are doing chili and corn bread. ( Jiffy, not homemade )

Question, any special sauce or store?

Hard to beat chili and cornbread. One of my all-time faves for sure.

Cornbread is a whole thing that may bring the Water Cooler to blows if we hash it out preferences; may be worse than debating barbecue sauces.

My personal preference is no corn kernels or onion, with a fair amount of sweetness to pair with savory dishes (usually do a mix of brown and granulated sugar (sometimes even with a splash of maple syrup), in a cast iron skillet.

For the spaghetti sauce, especially if we're being lazy it's hard to beat doctored RAO sauce as the base.

To the RAO we add a 66/33 mix of ground beef and ground pork sauteed with fresh garlic and onions, fresh parm and red wine. Damn good.
