Memphis Rub

Memphis Rub by Kevin Greggans

Awesome Dry Rub I received years ago from a friend who lives in Memphis. His family recipe. I had to swap my award winning chili recipe with him before he agreed to fork it over! :-) Great on Baby Back ribs and pork butt, but could work with beef as well. I like to cook low and slow in my smoker, but you could use just a well…

Poor Man’s Burnt Ends and Tips

Poor Man’s Burnt Ends and Tips by Patti Fisher

Our “Poor Man’s” Burnt Ends are “Off The Hook”! The burnt ends are meat candy. Burnt Ends are normally made from Brisket and that can be very expensive. But, as Larry Wolfe showed us you can use chuck roast. Patti got me an 8 pound Chuckie for around $21. That’s a lot of good meat for the smoker. Patti and I have set one night a…

Fiery Piggy Balls

Fiery Piggy Balls by Patti Fisher

We wanted to do an extra spicy appetizer wrapped in bacon, of course, for game day. Happily we just got some wonderful and extra zingy sauces from All Spice Café, so we knew we could put their Cayenne Habanero Sauce to good use. This is a variation of our “Chipotle Bacon Bombs” using hot sausage balls instead of ground beef. You can…

Irish Poppers

Irish Poppers by Patti Fisher

Patti was having lunch out with her good pal Peggy and, of course, they tossed around recipe ideas. Everyone loves jalapeno poppers for tailgating and Green Mountain makes one of the best with their Davy Crockett. It fits so easy into your car because the legs fold up and become handles. Ken thought these poppers Peggy came up with…
