    First and foremost, thanks to my fellow service men & women who've made the ultimate sacrifice for our country - I have WAY too many friends who we've already laid to rest in Arlington.

    A NEW variation on an old theme......... this Trailblazer cook is inspired by a Meat Church video and recipe for a rubbed Whole (Spatchcocked) Chicken, smoked, & cooked, THEN basted (immediately after being pulled from the smoker) in an Alabama White Sauce. If it goes well, we see this also...

    Grilling Notes - Mid Week, Reverse Petite Filets (Trailblazer & Bullseye) - 12 May 2021

    Haven't done a "duel smoker" cook in a while, thought we try a Reverse Sear effort with some Petite Filets this evening. Using the Trailblazer to smoke the steaks for ~30 min (target of 100F), followed by a short hot one on the Bullseye to finish off the cook. Kind of a slow day today, as I'm...

    Grilling Notes: Friday Night Canadian Bacon, Pineapple, w/Vodka Sauce Pizza (Trailblazer) - 23 April 2021

    This will be a relatively short set of Grilling Notes as it's just a pizza, HOWEVER for us it was an initial test set for cooking pizza on the Trailblazer (vice the Bullseye). As the summer social calendar "hopefully" picks up, we wanted to make sure we were comfortable with the heat settings...

    Grilling Notes - Andouille (seasoned) Sausages Prep for "Cajun Red Beans & Rice" - 28 January 2021

    Not sure this was even worth posting "Grilling Notes" on, but I did use the Bullseye to prep the sausages and it was mighty tasty, so I'll share anyway, figure the "delete key" is relatively cost free....<grin>. Most important observation with this cook was, if we'd known how HOT the Arkansas...

    Grilling Notes - Stuffed Chicken Breasts Monday - 11 January 2021

    This is a grill event that I mostly captured from a comment in one of the Recteq F'Book groups. It sounded good, so I copy, pasted, and sent it to the "Main Chef", she said, yep lets do it, and walla, here we are. It's good she has a clue what she's doing because after reading the post, my...

    Grilling Notes: Sunday Pizza on the Bullseye - 3 January 2021

    ....One could understandably scoff at my contention that a whole scale Cable/Internet/Phone service outage would impact a a simple pizza cook on the Bullseye.......I would.....but hear me out.......one of the down sides of living where we do is, when you lose some infrastructures (electricity...

    Delayed Online Notifications (Temp status....)?

    I've seen some discussions ref. problems with the wifi apps, but what we're noticing today, is the WiFi application seems to be working fine, however the online notification of temp status seems to be anywhere from 15-20 min delayed. Wonder if it's a "Christmas Eve" traffic load problem...

    This grill is VERY similar to the Spatch-Cocked chicken we did back in early November, but wanted to try it on the Bullseye vice the Trailblazer. The Bullseye performed with no problems, also configured with a water filled drip pan sitting on the heat diffuser - no problems at all. Grill...

    Grilling Notes - Ribeyes on the Bullseye, Friday 18 December 2020

    Ever have a cut of beef that you simply aren't very good at? Seems like these Ribeyes (at least the last two cooks of them) have my number. Nothing special about this evening's cook - no reverse sear, just cooking a couple of Ribeyes on the Bullseye w/Grill Grates. About the only thing I DID do...

    Tonight’s grill is VERY similar to the NY Strips we did a few weeks ago, but with some cheaper cuts of steak from our local grocer (Brookshires) - I know you thought I was going to say Walmart, but we actually do have a choice with grocers near us, not a LOT of choices, but we do have some...
