Had to smoke some wings.

Grabbed some rubs from a new meat market and saw this sauce. The name said “buy me”. The market is a little different in that they offer cuts from sources like SRF and others. The owner said he could place my order direct, charge me less than retail and no shipping charges.

I need to drive over and check this place out.

I need to drive over and check this place out.

The new location in Land O Lakes is closest to me. It's different. Not like a traditional butcher, everything is pre-packaged. I'll probably keep using John's butcher shop for most things and this place for special occasions. I love good food, but paying $65 lb for a couple steaks isn't my norm.

I was just checking out their website....serious brands they carry!

I killed my meat thermometer over the weekend. Suggestions for a replacement?

I have the Signals 4 channel and a couple Thermapens. I know others like the Dot, Thermopop and Smoke units, too.

Count me in on Thermoworks products. I use a Dot currently. They're great if you're on a budget. My next one will probably be a Smoke 2 channel. It just depends on which features you need.

Thermapen and Smoke 2 channel for me. Not cheap but work great consistently.

Trying a chuck roast for pulled beef. Using the Rec Tec. For some reason the set temp jumped early so the first hour was over 300 - maybe I had the app open and accidentally changed it; have never had that problem before.

Speaking of the app, the Rec Tec is wifi so you can use the app from anywhere. I was monitoring the temp from about 10 miles away while walking the dog. Pretty cool.

Will post all the pics when done.

Mostly using this approach

I love pulled chuckies!

Here's the visuals. salt, pepper, garlic, paprika, onion powder. On grates until about 125-130 then in pan uncovered on Vidalia onion slices to 165ish with about a cup of beef broth. Covered and in oven at 260 until fork pull-able (about 3 hours and 209 internal). I think it went too fast on the smoker so the oven did the work of breaking things down. Pulled and poured some liquid back in. Big beef flavor with smoke and bark. 2 thumbs up. Pellet smoking is stupid easy.

top-split vs. side-split hot dog buns.

Which do you prefer?

I live in Phoenix and it's not the friendliest place. People are nice but they aren't outgoing. When I moved to Oak Ridge, TN, something like 20 neighbors stopped by with welcome gifts. When I moved into my neighborhood in Phoenix, nobody came by to say hello. Not one neighbor.

After living in this neighborhood for 2 years, I'm finally changing the culture with BBQ. I've been taking everybody extra meat that I make, and now I got the Filipino family across the street bringing me ethnic cuisine. I got the neighbors on each side of me drowning me with citrus fruit, and it's so freaking good. As fresh as it gets. I'm really angling for the Chinese neighbors to bring me food. Holy cow, their home-cooked dinners smell so good. Then we got a Mexican family two doors over, and I know they can cook. I'll keep going at them. Time and bbq are on my side.

Thanks! They were tasty.

-Pat wings completely dry -Sprinkle your favorite rub. I used Holy Gospel on half and Honey Hog on the rest.

• Smoke 1 hour at 180F skin side up
• Flip wings and increase temp to 350F
• Cook for 45 minutes flipping once halfway through

I’ve used Kamado Joe and have also used a brand named Fogo. I prefer Fogo over Kamado Joe because the pieces tend to be larger and it lasts longer. A lot of people swear by Kamado Joe charcoal so it’s definitely not bad by any means. It could just be personal preference. Curious on your experience. Highly recommend Fogo for next time.

Check this out for FOGO fans:

I wasn’t planning on ribs this weekend, but Publix had these for 1.99 lb.
