More New Stuff From Meathead's Next Book!
|
|
Smoke And Fire Cocktails
New twists on your favorite drinks!
Start with your favorite cocktail recipe, chill it because smoke is attracted to cool surfaces, pour it in a stainless steel pan, and toss it on your smoker or set up your grill in two zones and throw wood on the hot side. Keep the temp below the alcohol boiling point of 174°F. Smoke it for 15 minutes. MUCH more info on smoked cocktails
here!

The Shooting Star:
The Shooting Star has both the smoked anise and the smokiness of Scotch in it.
Recipe here!
|
|
Raspberry Barbecue Sauce:
Here’s a fun riff on the classic Kansas City sweet red barbecue sauce with an exotic undertone. You’ll know the raspberries are in there, but give a prize to the guest who can guess the secret ingredient that makes it so appealing. And the best part is this sauce is really quick and easy.
Recipe here!

Show Us What You're Cooking!
|

Let's kick this off with a post from the Pit Boss,
Huskee. Check out this amazing pork shoulder he made on his 26" kettle with the Slow 'N Sear, using
Henrik's Original KC Royale Pork Rub. Nice work, boss!
|
|
Next up, we have a short rib cook from
RichieB. He made his very own Cabernet sauce for this cook on his gasser.
|
|
Richard Chrz was whipping up some cast iron magic this month. Check out this king salmon & shrimp paella in his Lodge 12" cast iron chef skillet. Wonderful presentation!
|
|
Attjack cranked out an awesome pizza featuring c
hanterelles and shallots on white sauce. And check out that perfect crust on the bottom!
|
|
Ernest has outdone himself again with his latest creation. Here is his version of chicken enchiladas! WOW!
|
|
HawkerXP is proving to us just why the PBC ribs are so great! Check out he color on those ribs!
|
|
Our friend
Nate was took his first crack at doing beef ribs and I think he did very well! Check out that bark and smoke ring, gorgeous! Nice work!
|
|
The Burn used the old trusty Weber Kettle to make some knock out g
rilled chicken shawarma with homemade laffa. He used the SnS, Vortex and the Hovergrill with his pizza stone for this cook. That is quite the cooking combo!
|
|
Troymeister
made time for a day of cooking that I think we all need to try...."Everything Fresh Day!" Here is what was on the menu,
F
irst Course
: homemade gazpacho, fresh tomatoes from the garden, cucumber, last of the last corn, storebought avocado; Andalusia, look out!
Second Course
: fresh spinach, warm potato, carrot, green bean, topped with local chicken breast from the farmers market, pickled red onion vinaigrette dressing, garlic crostini...Total hit...Served on the Drip 'N Griddle Pan!...

Who doesn't love seeing a #RibFace?!?
goosebr160 smoked up some beef ribs for his family on his Kettle and SnS combo. Check out that #RibFace!!
|

Troutman baked up some real comfort food this past month. As he says, "
The Hasselback spuds come marching home again........to be joined by my favorite SVQ picanha and some greens." Great meal, sir!
|
|
Now we take a trip to the other side of the pond.....Our friend
Henrik made some glorious baby back ribs on his offset smoker. Rubbed down with his very own KC Royale Rub. Check out the texture on those ribs. Way to spread the BBQ love in Sweden!
|
|
To round out this month's edition, we need to take a trip down to South America. We all know that
Ahumadora is always making fine meats for the masses down in Argentina. In this case, he was hosting a BBQ class for some students of his. It looks like he hit it out of the park! Some of the items on the menu were ribs, pork crown roast, brisket, pulled pork and wings. All on his very own custom smokers.

|
