Lookin' good Alex! 8) I added an electric smoker to my arsenal last year. I was afraid it wouldn't give the flavor I get from my stick burner, but I was wrong. It turns out some great flavorful meat and is a lot easier to manage heat with. Did some ribs on it Saturday.

Smoked 'em for 2 hours at 250

Then into foil for another 2 hours...

I make a rub that goes on the ribs while they smoke naked for a couple of hours and then I put them in foil with brown sugar and squeeze butter and give them 2-3 more hours or until they hit about 195 F internal temp. The rub combines with the brown sugar and butter to basically make your sauce. You can still use a sauce on top of that if you like, but I prefer them this way. I've been doing ribs quite a bit this year so my technique is fresh on my mind as I work to improve it. Makes some darn tasty ribs.

1/3 pound American Jalapeno Burger anyone? Sometimes you just have to go Jimmy Buffett. :mrgreen:

My ugly crust has become my trademark among friends. This one has Turkey sausage under the cheese and diced pepperoni on top for maximum coverage. And of course a fine easy drinking lager to accompany it. :mrgreen:

I'm not Thumbs, but I manage pretty well sometimes. One of my favorite dishes, Chili Verde (easy on the heat for the family):

Your stuff looks better than mine! I love burritos. Last Spring I picked up a bunch of restaurant quality oven-proof plates mainly for burritos. You can get 'em at restaurant supply stores. They run about $10 a piece, but they sure keep the food hot. Looks great!

Meh, just more of you to love. I'm trying to gain weight. Mainly so I can wear hilarious t-shirts, like "I'm not a doctor, but I'll take a look.". Homemade wings on my favorite Scooby Doo snack plate at midnight should help. :mrgreen:

Despite what you've heard, the Porknado is real. Bacon wrapped tenderloin over potatoes so the fat renders out and fries them. A healthy treat packed with vitamin B. Bacon. :mrgreen:
