Ok, you guys got me going on the smoking. So i got my brinkman electric smoker out over the weekend cleaned it out ,bought new lava rocks , a bag of pecan wood chips and it ready to roll...

Yup! Do 2 ;D

You can brine if you like. I prefer marinating and injecting. Cider vinegar, Franks Red Hot and lemon juice is a nice mix to start with.  Coat with olive oil and season as you like,  smoke slow...250 for the first 45 minutes or so, then bump up the heat to 325-350 till it reaches 180 degrees.

Let it rest for a good 20 minutes before slicing.


That's the best I've got.

Snagged a cool tool the other day. Weber Igrill Mini.



Pretty cool unit. Bluetooth/app based. Now I can watch the cook on my phone and iPad and get alerts when it's done or near done.

Gonna test it out this weekend with the pork loin that's marinating in the fridge.

That's pretty neat. Let us know how it works. I might have to have one myself!   ;D

I will BIll. So far it looks as though it's perfect. Real time monitoring.

Best part is I got it at serious discount. It was returned to the store witout a package. How's $5 hit you?

$49.95 retail.

Bride said it was too hot to grill. I said never too hot or too cold to grill. Made kabobs and the princess’s favorite noodle salad.

Looks very yummy. Just took the perch fillets out of the brine and laid them out on a tray. They'll stay in the fridge till I smoke them tomorrow.

I have high hopes.

Thanks! Tasted even better!

I have grilled BBQ chicken in the pouring rain and we do Surf and Turf in February. Grilling season is 365 days a year for me!

Many is the time I've shoveled a path to my Weber. The propane assist makes cooking on charcoal really easy in the wind, cold and rain. I'll be starting the smoking in a couple hours. The loin is almost ready and the fish is all set to go.

I might just toss on some wings when the fish is done.

Smoked perch.



Not too bad for a first try. Good flavor for sure. Thicker pieces were better than the thin. Thin ones should have come off earlier.  I think crappies would do just fine. Just have to chunk hem up so you could remove the thinner parts as they finish before the others.

Pork loin is on with the wings.

Looks good! Sausage with marinara, peppers and onions on today’s menu. Sautéing the peppers and onions inside, will let them cook on the Weber in the marinara while i cook up the sausage

Decided to leave the peppers and onions in the house, in the marinara. Will let the sauce soak up the juices inside for a while
