Haven't had an chance to post lately, things have been a little crazy on the home front. The federal government in their infinite wisdom decided that our cabin location is now a flood plain. Even though it has only flooded once in recorded history. We didn't have to sell it to them, but they...

On Fri 5/16 and Sat 5/17, there is a KCBC Competition being held on the Minnesota Statefair grounds. Memphis Grills is one of the corporate sponsors and we will have a team entered in the contest. If you are in the area stop by and say hello. I will be getting a chance to use some of the BPS...

I love a reason to make corned beef brisket. St Pat's Day is as good a reason as any, I soaked a couple of small briskets overnight in Guinness, then rubbed with fresh ground black and allspice pepper corns, and a little garlic powder. I put them on the Pro at home at 9 pm Sun. night at 215 deg...

I won't bother with screen shots of below zero temps. It's still winter here in Minnesota. Might as well cook, it makes me feel warmer. Here is a shot of Memphis headquarters. Fish always reminds me of warmer times. I picked up some steelhead trout at Sam's and got some cedar planks soaking. I...

Lost my driving priveledges again. Not legal issues, vision issues. So I was home all weekend solo, with no one to stop me so... Friday night Steelhead Trout. It was a balmy 7 deg. so I got started. This is becoming my favorite fish. Nice texture and mild flavor. It is really good on the...

I had some time off after the Christmas Holiday and thought I would go up to the cabin with the dog , and see if we could get some grouse hunting in. There had been a lot of snow and I knew it was going to be cold, but I was still a little surprised. After a few hours on snowshoes in 30...

Even for MN it has been unseasonably cold. I was told by Mrs HTS that if I walked the dog she would make chili. When I got in from walking the dog I could smell the chili on the stove "nice". I asked what kind of meat she used and was told that it was meatless??? I responded that it is not...

Our fearless leader has been out of town alot lately and away from his grill. He said he was hungry for brisket, we thought we would cook lunch for him on his birthday. Seeing that brisket usually takes about 12 hrs. it is hard timing wise to get it done for lunch. i did a little research and...

It has been awhile, but I had to get back on the proverbial horse and ride. I am still not allowed to drive, but I am able to navigate the computer a little better (slow improvement is better than no improvement) anyway.. I got dropped off a the cabin for the weekend, just me and the dog. I had...

The American Royal is an event that anyone who loves BBQ should attend al least once in their life. I have been fortunate enough to go the last two years. The highlight of this trip was getting to visit with Big Poppa in person. Even got to watch him comp trim his brisket. BP thanks for spending...

I am looking for a way to get more of the great flavor from the outside of a pork shoulder on the inside. I love the bark, but it seems the deeper into the shoulder you go the less of that taste is there. Should I brine or marinate the shoulder? Any suggestions or direction would be greatly...

Since we are the only ones whithout kids, we decided to host Mothers Day brunch. Mrs HTS cooked quiches and carmel rolls in the oven and I did the important items (the meat) on the grill. I loaded up the Pro with kielbasa, a breakfast fattie, adn hash browns. I didn't get any of the finished...

My 12 year old Nephew wanted me to make ribs. I told him he would have to help and take pictures. ( My eyes are coming around, but it is a slow process) He said okay. With a little help posting, here is what we came up with. We decided to cook Baby backs, stuffed mushrooms , and bacon wrapped...

We wanted to go to the cabin for hopefully the last weekend of crosscountry sking. I had a small shoulder to smoke but wouldn't have enough time to do the whole cook in one place. I started it at home at 4 am at 240 deg. when it was time to leave for the cabin at 10:30 am, it was at 170...

I didn't see any corned beef posts, and it just happened that I did one forSt Patricks Day. I soaked the corned beef brisket overnight in beer to take out a little of the saltyness. I then encrusted it with freshly cracked black and allspice peppercorns. I put the brisket on at 215 deg with...

This is a story that starts in June with water and rain and cntinues to the current day in the cold and snow... On June 21st of 2012 the river our cabin is on rose 20 feet above normal level in 10 hours. The cabin sits about 16 feet above normal levels. If you do the math... Luckily the weekend...

Still don't have my driving priviledges back yet (don't worry. not due to legal issues). Thankfully I can still cook. In the spirit of keeping everyone happy I decided to make chicken thighs 3 ways. Lemon Pepper (for the boss), buffalo and Texas pit for me.Then spaghetti squash alfredo and...

I have not been able to check out the site lately. I've got a little bit of a vision issue. Things are coming around, and I just couldn't let people cook for me anymore. I have been thinking about a local Italian place and their chicken marsala, so I decided to try and recreate it using up the...

I was told I was too sick to go out of town for a couples weekend of snowmobiles, ice fishing and saunas. I couldn't remember if it was feed a cold or starve a fever, as long as I had both I decided to eat! Also i want to add that it is just not as much fun cooking for yourself. I found a nice...
