It’s Saturday, June 22. Football season is 10 weeks away. And two friends just had new babies. So this afternoon, I’m watching some U20 Soccer and Atlanta Braves baseball on the patio. And in the meantime, I have a ridiculous 8.39 lb bone in Boston Butt cooking away on the Egg.
Spare Ribs
Amazingly enough, after over a year, I finally got around to doing a rack of ribs on the Egg. Today’s post is more about prep, pics and sauce than anything. The 3-2-1 Method for Spare Ribs has been covered ad nauseum by the rest of the Internet so I don’t feel a great need to […]
Setup the BGE for direct cooking
I have a good friend who recently received a Big Green Egg as a Christmas gift. He’s without prep space at the moment as he and his wife have been remodeling their kitchen and I am sad for his Egg as it sits lonely on his patio, all white and pristine. I thought I’d toss […]
Baked apples
I am a carnivore by nature and believe fruit to be an affront to God.

They served it with finger potatoes and baby greens over a stone ground mustard sauce. Add in a Maker’s […]

Boston Butt
Well, tonight is another slow smoke. This weekend was an Alabama away game in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I didn’t have tickets, so I thought what better way to support the Tide from home than by burning a pig in effigy. I had a 5.13lb trimmed Boston butt. At 1.5 to 2 hrs per lb to hit […]
Grilled Pork Chops
Another Big Green Egg cook. Center cut pork chops. This is a crowd pleaser. I cook pork chops with and without the bones. These just happen to be boneless this time. We served these with mixed vegetables for lunch. Ingredients: Bone-in or boneless pork chops (thick cut) 1/4 cup soy based marinade. We use Pilleteri’s […]
