Barbeque Chicken (with 'shroom Bombs!)

New recipe for homemade bbq sauce. I tripled the amount of Cayenne :)

And made a few with our beer can chicken rub for the kiddies.

Smokin' on the grill for today....

Eight pounds of porky pig.

Cedar Smoked Pork Loin

with Pineapple Salsa



Very flavorful and very quickly disappeared off of the serving platter.

First time making this, so there are a couple of tweaks I'd make the next time. I removed just about all of the fat from the top of the pork loin, next time I plan on leaving some so it can render down over the roasting loin (can't leave too much on because of the plank method of grilling and flare up's wouldn't be desired). For the salsa, I used one tablespoon of minced Jalapeno pepper while the recipe called for a teaspoon. Next time, I'll use a whole pepper since there wasn't really any heat imparted into the salsa. Also, I didn't pick up fresh basil for the salsa, so I used dried basil instead (1/2 of the serving). While others liked the salsa flavor, I thought it was a bit basil-ly, so I would either use fresh or cut back even more next time.

Definite keeper in the pork recipe department.

Baby Back Ribs

4 1/2 hours, applewood smoked with a homemade Jack Daniels BBQ glaze. The glaze is sweet and has a kick of cayenne at the end.




And Bullseye BBQ sauce, too.

Coming up later today...

Rub on.
