Episode 2: Rib Eye Steak

Hello, and thank you for stopping by.

In this episode I will be demonstrating how to prepare a Rib Eye Steak.

I find that when you are starting out, using premade rubs for meat is a great starting point for anyone. Once you find out what you like, there are plenty of recipes online and in cookbooks that are fun and easy to make. Give them a try!



For those with gas grills, no worries! You can prepare and cook your steaks exactly the same as I did on the charcoal grill. Just "Man Up" and by a charcoal grill. Just kidding. Cook it the same way as I did. To get that nice smoky taste, place the wood chips in a pouch made from aluminum foil, and place it directly on one of the back corners on the burner, not the grill. If you have one of those fancy trays in your gas grill to place wood chips, why are you asking?

Have a great time BBQ'n!

Episode 1: Pulled Pork Sandwich

First of all, thank you for watching my inaugural Video Blog/Vlog.

In this episode, I will be demonstrating how to make some delicious Pulled Pork Sandwiches. Since this was the first time I ever prepared a "Pork Butt," I decided to us a recipe from someone I trusted, Alton Brown. Every recipe I have tried from his television show "Good Eats," on the Food Network, has been absolutely fabulous. So this is a link to his recipe for the Pulled Pork.

Enjoy the show!

For those who do not have a smoker, you do have a few alternatives.
You could put the Pork Shoulder in the oven and cook it for the same time and temperature, but you wont get the same smoky flavor. There are a few makes of Oven Smokers. Google that and you could find them pretty easy. Those should help bring the smoke to the pork! The other option you have is by using your Kettle BBQ. You would place the pork shoulder in the center of the grill and the coals would need to be placed on either side of the meat. Never directly below it. We want to cook the pork so that the BBQ acts like an oven. Just make sure to maintain the 225 degrees!

Have fun!
