Pork Prime Rib I’m kicking off a month of Holiday themed meats this week and the first one on my list is a Pork Prime Rib. If you’re looking for something a little different for your Christmas dinner, this one might be for you… Pork Prime Rib is a center cut, bone-in roast from the loin section of the hog. …
Hanging Ribs on UDS Smoker This week I’m firing up my drum smoker and hanging ribs. If you haven’t tried this technique I suggest giving it a shot. With these hanging ribs, there’s something about Meat dripping on hot coals that just feels right and the color that these hanging ribs develop is as pretty as can be. I’ll admit …
Smoked Brats with Bacon Jam Brats are one of my favorite sausages for the grill. Typically I’ll simmer them in a beer and onion bath for a ½ hour, then brown them up real quick on a hot grill, but they’re also great as a smoked brats. For this recipe all you need is 8-10 bratwurst sausages. You can find …

It’s always an honor getting to cook at the Jack, and we’re hoping this is our year to win it all! This week I want to share with you a Jack Daniel’s inspired …
Football Explosion It’s time for football! And that means Football Food. I love great appetizers and meals you can cook out on the grill for a football party or tailgate. And this Football Explosion is a great one… I’m calling it a Football Explosion. And it combines a bacon explosion and a jalapeño popper (cream cheese, jack cheese and fresh …
Smoking green beans is a great side dish that is easy and delicious. You can use any pan or pot, but I use a cast iron dutch oven and add 4 -6 cans of green beans. Then I add diced onion, diced garlic, pulled pork, salt and pepper to my green beans. Then add two ham hocks and cover it …
Jerk Style Spare Ribs It’s BBQ time! This week I want to share with you my recipe for Jerk Style Spare Ribs. When most people think of Jerk seasoning or sauce, chicken immediately comes to mind. I even have a killer recipe for Jerk Chicken and that’s what inspired this recipe for Jerk Style Spare Ribs. But Jerk flavors are …
Bacon Wrapped Smoked Sausage Bacon wrapped anything gets my attention, and I thought that it couldn’t possibly be bad wrapped around a smoked sausage, right? Check out my Bacon Wrapped Smoked Sausage video: I started with store bought fully cooked smoked sausage cut in half. You can use any smoked sausage you like here. I know it would be great …
this week I thought I’d kick 2015 off with a great recipe for backstrap… my favorite cut of whitetail deer. The backstrap is cut from the top of the deer located on each side of the spine. It’s equivalent to the loin section off a cow or pig. I’m not sure where the name back strap originated, but I’ve always …
Pineapple Glazed Whole Smoked Ham For this recipe I use a Whole Smoked Ham (fully cooked). Don’t confuse it with a fresh or green ham which is one that hasn’t been cured or cooked, also don’t confuse it with a country ham. That’s something totally different. (we fry it and eat with biscuits in the south!). The whole ham is …
I’m loving these Football Food videos. Love thinking about them, cooking them… and especially eating them. And these Beef Bombs I did this week turned out awesome. If you’ve ever cooked an ABT – basically a jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped with bacon – then you know these dudes are good. What I did was take a flank …
Moink Balls are basically meatballs wrapped in bacon – and then rubbed, grilled and glazed. They get the name by combining MOO + OINK. These little bites of delicious are perfect football food because they are easy, quick and folks love them. And this right here is my version of them… To make these Moink Balls you need a few things: …
Nothing says down home cooking like a pot roast. I know growing up at my house we had pot roast for dinner at least once a month. Typically pot roast is prepared either in a crock-pot or roasting pan in the oven, but I’m taking it outdoors to the smoker. Pot Roast for me is Beef. Any cut of beef …
When you hear the word “Ribs” chances are you immediately think of a big slab of Spare or Loin Back ribs, smoked to sweet perfection. Today I want to share with you another type of rib… Country Style. In the competitive BBQ world we’re not allowed to turn in country style ribs, but don’t let that stop you from knowing …
I started out searching for a Tri Tip roast, but in my part of the country it can be a challenge to find. What I did come across was piece of beef called a Sirloin Tip Roast. This cut comes off the cow right beside the Tri Tip section (hence: Tri Tip’s Cousin), but it’s actually part of the Bottom …
