I fired the grill with charcoal briquettes and threw on several handfuls of wood chips for a little smoke flavor. Cooking the chili over charcoal was really fun, but there was hardly enough time with the lid closed for the smoke to flavor the chili in the time specified. - [My Mom’s Barbecue Sauce](https://storyque.com/my-moms-barbecue-sauce-2/) - Some people say Georgia is sort of a melting pot of barbecue sauces.

Some bread recipes are full of ingredients and steps, make a mess in your kitchen, and are downright confusing! That’s how I felt about bread until a couple of years ago. - [Spectacular Pizza on the Kamado Joe Big Joe](https://storyque.com/spectacular-pizza-on-the-kamado-joe-big-joe/) - OK folks, spring has finally arrived, which means in Canada that the hockey playoffs will begin soon.

I always follow the recipe precisely the first time I cook it, then make any changes based on that experience. Sometimes the changes are small tweaks of the ingredients; sometimes they are drastic and involve adding more ingredients that turn it into a different dish. Today’s recipe is the second type. The original recipe was a bacon-wrapped onion ring, seasoned and smoked. While I can eat my fill of them, I wanted to turn it into more of a main dish instead of just a side item. The best way to do that is to use large onions for bigger rings and add another protein to make it more filling. - [Cajun Pit Beef](https://storyque.com/cajun-pit-beef/) - Beef eye of round is very lean, so you only want to cook it to medium rare to keep it tender, and a buttery injection can help. The eye of round also doesn’t bring a ton of flavor to the table, so you’ll want to use some strong flavors.

However, my love for pork ribs has caused the beef short rib to fall off my radar over the past few years. To remedy this, I took a field trip to my grocery store recently. I had two options: the short 3–4-inch long beef short rib or the longer 7–8-inch long thin-cut flanken style rib. (The thinner flanken style is primarily used in Asian cooking, and can be directly grilled after marinating for some extra flavor.) Other options exist, but might be harder to find in a general grocery store. - [Broccoli Slaw](https://storyque.com/broccoli-slaw/) - Ingredients 1 bag (16-ounce) coleslaw mix 1 head broccoli, chopped 1 pound bacon, fried and crumbled Dressing 1-1/2 cups mayonnaise 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup milk 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon white vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon black pepper In a large bowl, toss together the coleslaw mix, broccoli, and bacon.

It keeps the fillet intact and infuses a light woody flavor. - [From the Weber Kettle to the Iron Maiden](https://storyque.com/from-the-weber-kettle-to-the-iron-maiden/) - My journey into low and slow cooking began quite accidentally, late in my 30’s. My father had a Weber Kettle which he bought new in the mid 2000s. I remember visiting my parents and asking them what this so-called barbecue sitting in the back patio was. After what seemed like a three-hour tutorial on Weber cooking (my old man tends to waffle on a bit and trail off on other subjects) I began to understand the theory behind “low and slow,” and it piqued my interest. But, I was in my early 30s and had other things on my mind, so I never really took it any further. - [Dill Pickle Dip](https://storyque.com/dill-pickle-dip/) - Ingredients ?1-1/2 cups finely chopped kosher dill pickles 1 package (8-ounce) cream cheese, softened 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon dill weed 3 tablespoons pickle juice Beat all the ingredients together well.

I’ve always felt that the oyster was the perfect bite of all-natural, sweet, fresh, briny meat, and that cooking them covered in breadcrumbs and parmesan or parsley and bacon was overkill. However, I make an exception for one recipe—a recipe that brings even the most anti-oyster eater back for seconds, or fifths—and that recipe is miso oysters. - [Caramelized Onion and Anchovy Tart](https://storyque.com/caramelized-onion-anchovy-tart/) - Tarts are a great thing to have in your repertoire.

Being a lover of history, I did a little research to satisfy my curiosity. It turns out that the first published recipe for s’mores was in a 1927 book by Loretta Scott Crew. - [Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops on the Pit Barrel Cooker](https://storyque.com/bourbon-glazed-pork-chops-on-the-pit-barrel-cooker/) - Since I’ve been smoking pork chops, I’ve converted and tweaked many recipes for my smokers and Pit Barrel Cooker. All were good, but, there are a select few I keep returning to. My most popular one is Bourbon Glazed Pork Chops and the reason is three-fold: flavor, minimal ingredients and time from start to finish. - [Smoked Maple Bacon Sweet Potato Pie in the Pit Barrel Cooker](https://storyque.com/smoked-maple-bacon-sweet-potato-pie-in-the-pit-barrel-cooker/) - Fall is here, and how the time has flown!

However, we’re only equipped to have three or four people roasting s’mores at one time. That’s fine when there are just a few around the fire, but it’s inefficient when you’re hosting a large family gathering and a dozen or more people are in the mood for a chocolate/marshmallow/graham cracker concoction. In that situation, your backyard grill can rescue dessert for everyone at once. - [Smoked Jalapeño Hot Sauce](https://storyque.com/smoked-jalapeno-hot-sauce/) - I love a good jalapeño hot sauce, and have been thinking of how I can take it a step farther than store-bought sauce. Being a child of the sixties, I’ll smoke anything. So I decided to smoke some jalapeños, garlic, and onions to make my sauce. - [Lime Chicken](https://storyque.com/lime-chicken/) - Before I tell you how I made lime chicken, I need to give you a little background on how I learned about it. A few years ago I was at a seminar acquiring my PDH’s (Professional Development Hours) for my Professional Land Surveyor’s license. During a break, several of us were standing around talking, and the subject of grilling came up. I could tell instantly that one of the guys in that group was a kindred spirit. After a few minutes of talking everyone else drifted away and left us two avidly discussing smoke and meat. We were almost late for the next session. - [Steak Comparison](https://storyque.com/steak-comparison/) - Wagyu refers to four breeds of Japanese cattle prized for their intense marbling and rich beef flavor.

For those of us who love to cook, Thanksgiving is a great time of year, our chance to shine. - [Smoked Halibut on a Green Mountain Grill](https://storyque.com/smoked-halibut-on-a-green-mountain-grill/) - While I’m not opposed to hard work, I don’t mind being lucky. We’ve always liked halibut because of the way it accepts, rather than competes with, the flavors you introduce. Some people might call it bland, but I think a better word is neutral. When you cook it properly, it’s flaky and tender and a pleasure to consume. - [Smoked Pumpkin Pie](https://storyque.com/smoked-pumpkin-pie/) - Pumpkin Pie is the ubiquitous holiday dessert, but unless you make it yourself you usually end up eating a sub-par, packaged imitation of the authentic dish. - [Lamb Shank Casserole](https://storyque.com/lamb-shank-casserole/) - Long, slow cooks are ideal for barbecue, so I’ve taken a traditional recipe and given it a barbecue twist that really brings it alive. - [Smoked Turkey and Stuffing](https://storyque.com/smoked-turkey-and-stuffing/) - Each Thanksgiving, my next-door neighbor and barbecue sensei, Brian Young, smokes a turkey.

Over the past few years, the love of bacon has increased to a fever pitch, and you can find it in places it would never have appeared before. Of course it still snuggles alongside eggs and toast, but now it’s also candied and baked, crumbled on top of donuts, and floating in beverages. - [Twice-Cooked Lamb Breast Roulade](https://storyque.com/twice-cooked-lamb-breast-roulade/) - Here in Australia it’s the season for spring lamb, one of my favorite meats, and one I grew up eating. It’s not to everyone’s taste, but I think that’s just because they don’t know how to cook it. Lamb can taste fatty, but that’s why we have mint sauce. - [Piri Piri Chicken Wings](https://storyque.com/piri-piri-chicken-wings/) - My love affair with chicken wings has been on-going for about a year now. I’ve tried them with a number of different flavorings, and, in my opinion, the perfect chicken wing involves a balanced, flavor-packed heat and tender, juicy meat. I think this recipe delivers on both counts. - [Spicy Balinese Pork Ribs](https://storyque.com/spicy-balinese-pork-ribs/) - Indonesian food is famous for its bold flavors and liberal use of chili peppers.

Pies are a traditional way of using leftover meat, and since barbecue originated as a way for the old meat markets to use leftover meat, barbecue and pies go hand in hand. - [Barbecue Pig Jam](https://storyque.com/barbecue-pig-jam/) - Since I’ve never really had a sweet tooth, I’ve always had a preference for the cheese plate over the dessert cart. When I first started visiting restaurants, I’d bookend my meal with a pâté or terrine fore entrée and finish with a cheese plate. - [Smoked Head Cheese](https://storyque.com/smoked-head-cheese/) - When I was a kid, my grandmother introduced me to a thinly-sliced cold meat called brawn. I learned since that brawn is an old English name for what I now know as head cheese. If they had called it that when I was growing up, I may not have developed a taste for it. Spicy or peppery, soft and gelatinous, it was my preferred school lunch sandwich. - [Smoked Caveman-Style Chicken Wings](https://storyque.com/smoked-caveman-style-chicken-wings/) - Eating deep-fried chicken on the regular isn’t good for the ol’ arteries.

In my house, the crackling is the stick by which we measure the success of roast pork. - [My Top Three Sauces for Grilled Meats](https://storyque.com/my-top-three-sauces-for-grilled-meats/) - We all know that when it comes to grilling, the meat is the star of the show. But every good actor needs the perfect supporting role to really make the performance a masterpiece. Our meals are no different. Picture the dining table as your stage: when you set down those perfectly grilled steaks or those cedar plank salmons. - [Bresaola: Big, Bold, and Beefy](https://storyque.com/bresaola-big-bold-and-beefy/) - Bresaola is an air-dried, salted beef that has been aged for up to ninety days. It’s easy to do, and you don’t need any special equipment. Originally from Northern Italy, bresaola is a simple form of charcuterie originally practiced by Italian farmers. Bresaola is much like prosciutto in texture and appearance. - [Sausage-Stuffed Tenderloin](https://storyque.com/sausage-stuffed-tenderloin/) - I am doing a local favorite that many of us love: a sausage-stuffed tenderloin wrapped in bacon. I first saw this done at a wild game cook-off, using deer back strap. For this cook, you’ll need two pork tenderloins (they’re usually sold in pairs), two 12-ounce packs of bacon, and some smoked sausage. - [Chicken Tikka Masala](https://storyque.com/chicken-tikka-masala/) - This month I wanted to try something a little different. It’s easy to get caught in a cycle of cooking huge chunks of meat on your barbecue, but sometimes it’s nice to change things up, so I settled on a curry. I’ve made this curry a few times, but this was the first time I made it on the barbecue—it didn’t let me down - [Blackened Red Snapper](https://storyque.com/blackened-red-snapper/) - Greetings from the Sip! Oh my goodness, is it hot down here! As I write this, the heat index outside is 109 degrees F! It makes getting outside almost unbearable. Although it feels like an oven out there, we do have a few activities down here to help us forget the heat and hit the - [Braised Chinese Spice Duck](https://storyque.com/braised-chinese-spice-duck/) - I’ll tell you right up front that this recipe is not authentic, but it is easy and delicious. The deep, sweet, haunting flavors of Asian spices strike a cord with me, but there so many ingredients—some of them hard to find—that preparing an authentic Asian recipe can be daunting. - [Chicken Ballotine](https://storyque.com/chicken-ballotine/) - Ballotine is poultry that has been stuffed with a forcemeat and rolled. In high-end French cookery, a ballotine is a game bird, such as goose, duck, or pheasant, stuffed with the marinated meat of other birds and forcemeat made from pork or veal, bejewelled with herbs, mushroom, and/or truffle. - [Slow Cooked Lamb Shanks](https://storyque.com/slow-cooked-lamb-shanks/) - The shank is the lower part of the leg of lamb. It’s a hard-working muscle, and when it’s cooked properly its sinewy slithers of muscle turn soft and sticky and are a delight to eat. Lamb shanks are perfect for slow cooking. Most people cook them in a slow cooker, but they are a great winter barbecue dish. - [Porchetta With Apricot and Walnut Stuffing](https://storyque.com/porchetta-with-apricot-and-walnut-stuffing/) - Recently some friends and I were discussing what we are cooking on our barbecues for Christmas dinner this year. I have always cooked a traditional turkey and ham dinner, but they were telling me how they like to switch it up with different roasts each year. - [Slow Roasted Gochujang Lamb](https://storyque.com/slow-roasted-gochujang-lamb/) - Gochujang is a thick and sticky Korean red chili paste with a taste that’s savory, sweet, mildly spicy and smoky, and a little funky. It’s made from chili powder, glutinous rice, fermented soybean, barley malt, and salt, fermented in large earthenware pots in the open air. It dates from the middle of the ninth century. - [Whole “Celebration” Fish](https://storyque.com/whole-celebration-fish/) - We normally cook whole fish lying on one side, but this leads to problems: the fish does not cook evenly, it is hard to manage, and it is hard to serve the underside. Because of uneven cooking, the bottom side gets overcooked and may be dry, unappetizing, and chewy. - [Country-Style Ribs on a Stick](https://storyque.com/country-style-ribs-on-a-stick/) - If you haven’t discovered pork country-style ribs yet, you are in for a real treat. Full disclosure: these are just a pork butt sliced to look like ribs, but they are delicious, quick and easy to cook, extremely versatile, and inexpensive—all the wonderful things that make a great meal. - [Prime Rib: The Dwelling Method](https://storyque.com/prime-rib-the-dwelling-method/) - Dwelling is an advanced Big Green Egg (Kamado) cooking technique. It’s not difficult, it just requires a little thinking and planning. It is a great technique to have in your repertoire. - [Smoked Brisket on a Stick Burner](https://storyque.com/smoked-brisket-on-a-stick-burner/) - The best smoked brisket I’ve experienced was cooked on a stick burner pit, and now it’s my personal mission to recreate that brisket using this style of pit. The basics of a stick burner are simple. You start a fire in the offset firebox, and the heat and smoke roll into the cooking chamber. - [Poor Man’s Burnt Ends](https://storyque.com/poor-mans-burnt-ends/) - Those of us who love to cook for other people know that everyone has their own favorite from the things you cook.

The mere thought of a piece of ripe cantaloupe wrapped with a delicate slice of prosciutto on a summer morning, my mother-in-law’s broiled bacon-wrapped dates, or the Christmas cranberry duck I learned from my dad, and my salivary glands - [Meatball Pie](https://storyque.com/meatball-pie/) - I’m a sucker for simple comfort food. This dish is something my grandma would make in her wood oven. Her version had a mashed-potato top, like a cottage pie but with meatballs. This version has a white gravy sauce and onions, but it would work well with a robust tomato ragu and spicy sausage balls. - [Pork Loin with an Apple Cider Sauce](https://storyque.com/pork-loin-with-an-apple-cider-sauce/) - When thinking about how I was going to prepare this pork loin, I wanted to use an ingredient that is very much in season—apples.

The result was amazing! - [Confit Duck](https://storyque.com/confit-duck/) - This delicious dish comes from an ancient method of preserving.
