Chicken Blue Cheese Bacon Sausages On The Grill
May 7, 2011 By 1 Comment
Today a special package was left on my front door from Burke’s Fine Meats. After I sampled my catch, decided to fire up the old Weber Smokey Joe and tossed the fresh sausages on the grill for dinner.
- Chicken Blue Cheese Bacon Sausages
- Double Smoked Bacon
- Traditional Bacon
- Semi-Cured Spanish Style Chorizo (Spicy)
I can’t wait to dabble into the bacon and chorizo next. I’m thinking an egg scramble with chorizo, cheese and green chiles and a huge bacon cheese burger are in my future.
BBQ: Spare Ribs For The UFC
May 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Smoked me three racks of ribs on the newly built smoker. The spares were rubbed with my custom Yardbird mixture and glazed with Bone Suckin’ BBQ Sauce Original
The smoker was a little hot at the end, but the ribs still turned out great.

Bacon is great. This guy takes his smoked cured pork bellies very seriously, going as far as tattooing this bacon on his bacon.

Ugly Drum Smoker (UDS) Finished
March 3, 2011 By 2 Comments
Pictures of my first smoker build, a not so ugly Ugly Drum Smoker. This beauty, flows perfectly, holds between 235-250F for 12+ hours on a single back of charcoal. The intake is from a Big Green Egg smoker bought off of EBay. The exhausts are standard issue Autozone chrome tip exhausts, tack welded on the lid of the smoker. Modern cabinet handles and some miscellaneous hardware from Lowes, complete the build.
Spray painted it cherry red to go with the local collage team the University of New Mexico Lobos. Its sure to be a hit at his years tailgates.
I caught the smoker building bug and have already moved on to my next project, a fully insulated upright reverse flow steel smoker. I have about $1000 into it so far and its 80% complete. I hope to have it done here in the next month or so.
Spring can’t come fast enough.

Its so wrong, yet it is so right. The McRib is back for a short time at your local neighborhood McDonald’s. Mystery meat shaped into a rib slab, onions, pickles and sweet and tangy Mickey D’s BBQ sauce served on a hoagie bun.
