Smoked Chicken Wings

Clint — Fri, 02 Oct 2020 15:30:04 +0000

It’s game day and smoked chicken wings are on the menu! I love a good wing and there is no doubt that the deep fried version you can get at your local sports bar is a great option. But, there is something about a smoky barbecue spice-rubbed chicken wing that is hard to beat. A...

Smoked Spatchcock Chicken

So it’s a weeknight, but you have that itch to throw something on the smoker. Pulled pork? Forget about it — unless you like waking up your family to eat dinner at 4am. Ribs? Maybe you could pull off ribs in time, but you’d still be pushing the late hours and those kids need to...

Asian BBQ Glazed Ribs

While I like a good dry-rubbed rib with no sauce, every now and then it’s refreshing to eat some ribs adorned with a sticky glaze that leaves you licking your fingers. Usually, that means ribs with a sweet Kansas City barbecue sauce slathered all over that beautiful meat, but this time I am going for...

Smoked Pork Belly Gua Bao

Gua bao are small meat filled steamed bun sandwiches popular in Taiwan, China, and Japan. Stewed pork belly is a traditional gua bao filling and they are often topped with crushed peanuts and some type of pickled vegetable. When done right, gua bao are tiny porky wonders that fit in the palm of your hand....

Pulled Pork Sandwich with Slaw and Sauce

A good pulled pork sandwich is one of my favorite ways to enjoy smoked pork shoulder. For me, there are a few key parts to constructing an excellent pulled pork sandwich. First, you need to start with good pulled pork. I like a chunky pull, rather than tiny shreds, with a good ratio of crispy...

Pulled Pork

Clint — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 00:45:02 +0000

If you are just getting into barbecue, pulled pork is a forgiving way to begin. Pork shoulder is richly marbled with fat and stands up well to overcooking, so even if you let it go a little too long on the smoker, you’ll probably still end up with something delicious. The same cannot be said...

Smoked Brisket Tacos

Clint — Wed, 06 Jun 2018 03:44:13 +0000

I’m always looking for ways to use up leftover smoked brisket. While brisket is still really good the next day, especially if wrapped tightly in plastic to reduce oxidation, it never quite lives up to the day it was made. For that reason, I think it is usually best repurposed in other dishes, like these...

Tri-Tip Sandwich with Roasted Garlic Mayo and Pickled Onion

Clint — Fri, 11 May 2018 02:33:20 +0000

Firing up the smoker as often as I do has its consequences. Namely, I end up with ridiculous amounts of smoked meat jockeying for refrigerator space with random long-forgotten condiments. Of course, this is one of those proverbial “first world” problems that I should be abundantly grateful to have. In any case, it is a...

Smoked Santa Maria Style Tri-tip

Clint — Sat, 21 Apr 2018 19:32:19 +0000

In the U.S., Santa Maria Style tri-tip is something of a West coast regional specialty. This cut of beef used to be destined for the meat grinder to become part of your next burger, but since discovering its beefy flavor and tender flesh (when sliced thinly against the grain), the tri-tip has been a favorite...
