BBQ Junkie

A little something for your Thursda before lunch. Wish there was a Mr. Spriggs BBQ around here… it’s got me thinking about ribs right now.

Video from the last neighborhood BBQ Just got this one from a BBQ friend, Nichola (pronounced like the Ricola commercial): The QuickSilverEdition Mission is hosting another neighborhood BBQ this weekend. The last one sounds like it was a good time had by all… food, music and Jack Daniels as part of the prize. For more [...]

I was a little envious at previous BBQ competitions when I noticed that a couple of the BBQ teams were using Dual probe thermometers. I guess you could say it was gadget envy. This was especially the case in the last competition when I had forgotten my meat thermometer/timer at home. Up until this point [...]

Swift loves BBQ. Mmmmmm, pork butt. Barbecuing for friends and family is always fun especially when you have your trusty dog and he is willing to help you with any scraps. The mid-week festivities threw me for a loop where I had to pre-cook all of my meat the weekend prior to the Fourth. The [...]

I would quickly like to congratulate Brian over at lemonchicken on the resurection of his Los Angeles food blog, food.lemonchicken.com. Even though he doesn’t discuss too much BBQ, his old school blog served as in inspiration for this blog back in the day… now if I could just get him to start using WordPress. Welcome [...]

I was getting some questions about the KTLA segment where we showed bagels being cooked in a BBQ pit. The long story short, Professor Salt used the WSM (smoker) as an oven. He’s been working on the perfect bagel recipe… I thinks he’s pretty close. I caught him on film (sd card) talking about his [...]
