Pork Tenderloin is a great, easy recipe that is perfect for dinners with your family and friends. It doesn’t take long and it feeds several people. I start with: 2lb whole pork tenderloin placed in a ziplock bag. Pour in about 1/2 cup of Worcestershire Sauce 1/8 cup Soy Sauce and 2 TBS of Molasses Squeeze out the excess air …
Judging For A New Late-Night Food Show
This past weekend I had the opportunity to be a judge for a new television show on Destination America. Of course I wasn’t told when it will air but I expect it to be sometime early summer. I’ve been judging BBQ for years but this was my first judging experience on camera. The format for this show was based on …
Buffalo Chicken Dip with a Smoked Whole Chicken
Almost everyone has tried or cooked a Buffalo Chicken Dip… and I have to say it’s one of my favorites. It’s perfect for football parties (especially the Super Bowl) . But the one thing I’ve always hated is the canned, processed bad-texture can chicken people use in this dip. If you really want to make this dip as good as …
Barbecue Live – Competition Cooking Class
For the past few weeks I’ve been pretty busy getting ready for Barbecue Live. This was our inaugural BBQ class, and just like everything we do we wanted it to be quality. We put ourselves on the other side and asked, “what would we want from a BBQ class?“. Then we built the class around that… and gave 100%. It …
Smoked Prime Rib
I spend the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving and Christmas cooking hundreds of hams, turkeys and even pork butts. So when it comes time for the big Christmas meal, I look forward to one thing… Smoking a Whole Prime Rib. This is something Chelle’s grandfather turned me on to a few years back. And it’s some of the best eatin’ …
Cold Smoked Cheese Recipe
Who doesn’t love getting gifts that have been smoked? Smoked Cheese is one item that I find myself doing once it gets cold outside and it makes a great Christmas gift. It’s fairly easy to prepare smoked cheese at home, but there’s a few things you need to know. The first thing is Cold Smoking. It’s basically producing good, clean …
Smoking A Whole Turkey for Thanksgiving
One thing I’ve learned over the years about smoking poultry is that you need to do it with a higher heat for a shorter amount of time. This helps get the skin a nice, golden color… keep the meat moist… and create the best smoked turkey possible. I personally like to smoke my turkeys around 275 – 300 degrees for 3 …
Seasoning a Brisket
When cooked right, brisket is probably my favorite KCBS competition meats. And this year, I’ve gotten my technique and flavors down. Landed in the top 10 pretty much every time I’ve cooked. It’s good stuff… But I had someone ask me this week how I season my brisket before putting it on the smoker. And I’m happy to share… After trimming I rinse it off …
Smoked Turkey Legs
I had a request for this recipe not too long ago, and since everyone’s mind is on Turkey this time of year, I thought it was a perfect time to share it. Smoked Turkey legs are quick and easy to prepare plus they’re inexpensive. You’ve probably seen them for sale at fairs, carnivals, or even sporting events because they make …
More UDS (Ugly Drum Smoker) Questions
I get questions about building a UDS all the time… and I love it because they are pretty simple to make, they are very inexpensive and work like a machine. I’ve got several of them and always have a few lent out to friends and family. But for my backyard smoking, it’s all I use. So here are a couple …

Using Cinnamon in BBQ??
Great question about flavors that are hot on the competition circuit right now… I smell a lot of cinnamon coming from winning teams smokers. Any ideas on that? THANK YOU for your help. I think the cinnamon you’re picking up is in the seasonings. I know I use a little in The BBQ Rub. In small doses it goes well …

This is our second time to cook this contest and I will definitely be back next year. And yes, they did have a Cabrito cooking contest as a Goat parade too. There was a lot going on at this one… We had a …
