Just to let everyone know I'm taking my son on camping/fishing trip. I will be home Monday but it may be late afternoon or early evening that I'll get the judging in. Thanks and good luck!

But BP did get the order. Great communication from Kristen. Good service seems to becoming a scarce commodity.

I'm happy to join in and pick your pockets -- any amount helps convince the wife that yes, yes we do need a MAK/Memphis smoker to replace my...suboptimal...brinkmann one. And no, the made-in-china traegers for sale at costco are not sufficient.

That said, as a newbie and a lurker I have no idea what you want in an entry -- all I know about this forum is that the bob marley guy shows up from time to time and apparently knows what he's talking about :)

Friday night supper.

Last night before work I made a simple shrimp and sausage dish with brown rice and a salad.

I cooked some of the shrimp in butter and old bay seasoning and some with mikes hot honey and soileaus seasoning. sweet and spicy! I love it! The sausages were like Italian brats and made locally and I sliced them up when they were done.

I had the MAK running at 300 for this burning maple,hickory and cherry pellets.

Light and simple. It turned out great!
I really liked the mikes hot honey on the shrimp! Sweet with a touch of heat. And with the Italian sausage, rice and sriracha hot sauce the meal had an Asian feel to it with a touch of Cajun.
The shrimp and sausage was backed up with a spinach salad.
Awesome!

Give's you time to write down all those cool cook's going through your head. Everytime I see,taste,hear or think of something that might work on the mak I write it down, at any given time i'll have 3 or 4 ideas on the list...if one still sounds good come friday it just might get cooked.

Sweet & Spicy Applewood Dill Salmon

Tonight's supper was simple, but really delicious. The Mrs. has been wanting some salmon so she went and picked some up at the market.

Our favorite way of making it is with a Sweet & Spicy Brown Sugar Dill rub: Brown Sugar, lots of dill, some red pepper flakes & a little salt & black pepper. Onto the MAK in smoke mode.

Add a pot of homemade Mac-N-Cheese & kick the temp up to 300°

What better to go with the salmon than a nice big helping of smokey Mac-N-Cheese?

Blueberry Chicken and cupcakes

Cmon Lurkers and newbies join in and pick my pockets

Alright, here's my first post in this contest! :)

Today I prepared 6 chicken thighs: I took out the bones, rubbed them slightly and put them on the CS-450 at 230F. Meanwhile I made a sauce of blueberries, cola, ketchup, honey, chili and black pepper. After about 2 hours the thighs were glaced with this sauce and served 25 minutes later with bell peppers, potatoes and the rest of the blueberry sauce.

With the remaining blueberries I made some cupcakes for dessert, as well grilled on the CS-450 at about 360F for 25 minutes.
