I have been gone from the forum for a long time and it is great to see that the smoking community is still as strong and helpful as ever. Just looking around today has got me eager to get back into the swing of things. Keep the great cooks coming guys!

I wanted some good roast beef tonight, but I also wanted to branch out a bit. I was looking at BP's post about the veggies and wanted to play a bit. Started with a few turnips and parsnips and a potato. I peeled and chopped my veggies and put them on to boil with a bay leaf and some rosemary...

I was planning to make some pasta sauce this weekend and the weather was great today so I made a couple burgers with some of my ground pork and a bit of a pulled pork i have in the freezer. Here they are. I gave them a season with a shallot LLwP mustard powder sage and thyme. Mixed it up and...

My family did not do the big traditional turkey or ham dinner this year. Instead we spent the day hanging out and making sushi. Living in a small town in a landlocked area means that getting my hands on sushi grade fresh fish is mighty difficult. Enter pellets! Friday night I got started by...

At long last I managed to get a cook in this week. my wife had a craving on Tuesday and I finally fixed it today. Here goes. I started by dicing and sweating some onion and garlic. Then I got the rest of my fixins (minus the herbs) for my spicy mustard sauce out. Mixed all of that up and...

I wanted to branch out a bit this week and I really wanted to try my hand at a mojo sauce so I gave it a whirl. On Friday while I was making a couple of steaks I roasted a few peppers. Much later after my steak was settled and a cold beer was enjoyed I started on my mojo sauce. Mojo is a...

I started out by cubing my chicken (not shown) and getting it into a marinade. I wanted to get something like tzatziki flavour into the chicken. Here are the ingredients with the exception of the oregano. Mixed it up and threw it in a ziplock for a long rest in the fridge. Not an easy thing to...

I was thinking last night about this little Greek restaurant I used to go to a few years ago. They made the best chicken souvlaki I have ever had. I have messed with it a few times over the yeas but so far it hasn't quite been right. If anyone has or can figure out a great souvlaki recipe I...

Last week I made dinner for the missus so this week I made dinner for me. It started with some really nice Maui ribs. I made some of what I call teryaki sauce as a marinade and a bit extra for mopping. Here are the players. After a few hours I dried them off and hit them with some LLwP. Like...

It was my wife's birthday on Saturday so I made her as many things that she likes as I could. I started with some bread. Garlic thyme bread to be exact. Here are the ingredients. After a bit of work I had this. Then I made some pasta dough Here it is She likes to eat healthy so I made a...

the weather is finally up to around freezing so I can play this week! January in Canada needs some warmth so I made some Mole chicken chilli. Started with my base stuff that got no Traeger love. Got all of that going and left it alone for a few hours. Then I got my veggies and chicken ready...

I really wanted to enter the contest last week but i lost my camera cord. Ahh well better late than never i guess. I started with my glue, a 50 50 mix of mustard and balsamic. Got the glue on and rubbed them up. On to the traeger with my A Maze N chugging away. Disregard that chunk of pork...

The wife was nice enough to make me some dinner a few days ago so I made her favorite for her. Start with an appetizer just for fun. Got some gear together. Did a bit of work and stuffed away. The star of this show. Gave the salmon a bit of a dusting and threw it on the Traeger. Pay no...

Nothing fancy this time just a basic bit of lunch. I found some ham kicking around in my freezer and I wanted to glaze it. Got some fixins. Put the ham on my Traeger to catch some smoke. After a half hour I turned it up to 275 and added my glaze. Waited a few more minutes and got some...

has it really been over a month since I entered one of these things? Time flies when you are crazy busy. I did not come up with anything new this week but I dusted off an old favorite. First step was to peel and marinate my shrimp in some margarita mix and garlic. Then get my stuff ready for...

I asked the wife to pick up some stuff for burgers for me while I was at work. Here is what I found when I got home. Ok no big deal lets see what I can come up with. I mixed the turkey burger with some LLwP, sage and melted butter. I wanted them a bit on the sweet side so I threw in a squeeze...

I am a bit of a freak for making my own rubs and sauces. Now I have this delusion that I can make condiments too. My most recent half disaster was home made mustard. I was wondering what everyone else makes for themselves. Who has a cool home made product I can shamelessly rip off?

I decided to make a few old favorites this weekend. Off the hop I have wanted to try making bread on my Traeger since I got it. This was my chance. The main players. After a bit of work. Then that sat and proofed a couple of times and went on the Traeger. I was having trouble with the wind...

I really did not want to do a whole pile of work today so I took the easy way and made some chicken with what I think pass as middle eastern spices and sides. I got some Chicken breasts out this morning and gave them a soak in a basic brine, dried them off and gave them a sumac based rub...

I started out this morning thinking I would make a simple roast chicken. i had one in the fridge ready to roll. Things took a bit of a left turn from there. I deboned the buzzard and put it in a brine with some sage. Out of the brine, patted dry and ready for some stuffing. I had some...
