Received my stoker from Rock’s Bar-B-Que. Ordered on Monday and received Wednesday! Great service. It looks like a very solid device. Will post my review soon.

Chimney starter at night. Very hot. During the day the flames are almost invisible. Now you know why you should always wear good gloves! The curls in the picture are the pops you always hear as it burns. The charcoal is Publix Greenwise Hardwood Lump. Good stuff.

It’s been a slow week for BBQ in our house. We were going to test a brisket recipe this weekend but our supplier ran out. So, my better half is in control of the recipes today. No competition recipes. That’s right, we’re cooking food we are going to eat as a meal! None of this- it needs more salt, the sauce should be sweeter, etc. She loves Adam Perry Lang’s book and found a fairly quick and easy recipe. We’re going old school- Beer Can Chicken!

Update:

Finished product. Cut the back out and crisped the skin in a convection oven. Was quite yummy.

Leftover Pulled Pork

Posted by: BBQ Craft in BBQ, Pork Comments Off on Leftover Pulled Pork

So what do you do with leftover pulled pork? Not wanting to waste delicious Q and being hungry, I improvised a little.

Baked Potato
Salt
Your favorite BBQ sauce
Shredded cheddar cheese
Pulled pork

Cut a baked potato in half. Scoop out the middle. Salt the potato and stuff with the leftover pulled pork. Heat in a 400 degree oven to get the pork hot and crisp the potato edges a little. Top with BBQ sauce and shredded cheddar cheese.

4th of July Q

Posted by: BBQ Craft in BBQ, Chicken, Pork Comments Off on 4th of July Q

What 4th of July wouldnt be complete without a little Q? I was just going through some of our 4th pictures and figured I would share a few that sum it up.

Adam Perry Lang’s Serious Barbecue potato recipe (highly recommended), our rib recipe, Wiley McCrary’s chicken recipe and on the lower grate, APL’s “Get a book” pork shoulder recipe.

South Carolina Festival of Discovery

Posted by: BBQ Craft in BBQ, Competition Comments Off on South Carolina Festival of Discovery

We spent last weekend in Greenwood, SC sampling the Q and visiting some of the teams. It was a great event. Not too hot and plenty of interesting BBQ folk. While taking pictures of some of the teams during turn in prep, we were treated to a few samples of their turn in Q.  Based on those samples I am sure the judges had a great day tasting some really good Q. There was one slightly annoying aspect of the entire event- Food Network. They had at least six full camera crews setup and roaming around at the event. They were from the Food Network Challenge TV series. They had trip hazards everywhere. Between Bub-Ba-Q and Checkered Pig it was like a full TV studio setup (see pictures below). I guess that’s the price you pay for BBQ fame.
