Now that there is a backyard smoker. Looking good Thumbs. I'll be smoking up some chicken today, burgers and dogs on the gas grill. May toss my mac-n-cheese on the smoker instead of the oven to give it that last lick of flavor as well.

You a charcoal or hardwood guy in the smoker?

I use a combination of wood and charcoal. I'll add a chimney full of charcoal and then keep a half chimney going at pretty much all times to have heat on hand. I add chunks of wood regularly throughout the day depending how much smoke I want. It's a good little smoker. I wish it were a little heavier gauge steel though. It would be a little easier to regulate. It's a lot of fun, but a lot more work than the electric! It's about 12 years old so it's seasoned really well. I keep it covered and always empty the firebox of ash so it stays in pretty good shape thru our harsh weather.

I hear ya on the thin gauge steel. My smoker/firebox gave up the ghost. Super thin, had no chance to survive. I am talking with a local fabricator to see if he would take on making me a new firebox, with leg supports, last one was a 'dangler'. I have a backup vertical water smoker & the father in law's smoker that looks similar to that one. It has pretty good steel, but hasnt seen use in over 5 years. I ran a cycle of heat through it last night just to wake it back up



Got some chicken and corn on the cob going now. Sourdough rolls & mac-n-cheese in a little bit.

You two are just killin me here! I would trade a few nice RC10's for one of those smokers.

Enjoy the 4th!

Bacon Wrapped Jalapeños stuffed with cream cheese and sharp cheddar. My best evil face...

Damn that looks good.
We took the lazy man's way out tonight...took the family to Golden Choral for late lunch.
I've got a Legion meeting at 6, and it basically throws off any plans for cooking out tonight.

I'll be tossing some chicken legs & thighs on the gas grill later today. Just a plain basic bbq chicken

Did make my favorite sausage/noodle concoction for lunch. Bell pepper, sweet onion, butter, sausage saute'd up, dumped on some heavy cream & redued, then ad rigatoni...topped with cracked pepper & parmesan cheese.

It's Sunday, so you know what that means..... VEGAN BIG BREAKFAST!!!!!

Hot off the stove, here's our latest attempt..... scrambled tofu with home-grown spring onion, fried tomato, mushrooms and onions, avocado, and Linda Mac sausages, all on toasted home-made bread. Truly magnificent!



Tasted awesome......

No, but hopefully this Saturday is...

HAPPY NATIONAL HOT WING DAY EVERYONE!

Tasty! I did not know that it is hot wing day. Mind you, I could eat wings every day.

I have some kabobs going on the grill for tonight.

Souvlaki flavor for the first two, and sweet mango chili for the last two.

I couldnt decide what I wanted...so 2 racks of ribs, some chicken legs & thighs with a Boneless chuck roast hiding on the top shelf.
