I just found out my lawn guy died last January and I’m trying to figure out what kind of mower I should get. I’d kind of like an electric one, much less noisy, ecologically more responsible, all that jazz.
But, the question is do any of you folks have one and what do you think about them? Any...
I’m looking for a set of Genesis knobs and igniter button(with bezel) in BLACK any one have a set? I might have some trading stock depending on what you might need.
Thanks in advance!
If not, I’ll have to get creative!
Nephew came for dinner Sunday afternoon, made up some rudimentary drawings and a cutting schedule. Pulled end caps of the blue lid. Then we had some nice big ribeyes, asparagus and little potatoes. Sorry we were too hungry to get pictures.
Today I found a sandblaster not far from home and took...
I was at Costco and picked up a dbl 20 of the Kirkland “Pro”
Had some boneless CSR (Country Style Ribs, Larry😉) so, I thought why wait?
First ignition, they started in maybe 12 minutes, maybe 2-4 minutes than K Pro no big deal, ignition smoke was somewhat less and start up heat is excellent...
I am embarrassed, this post is LATE!
Happy (belated) Birthday Rich Dahl!
Not an excuse but an explanation, I had a 19# brisket fight me tooth and nail for 20 hours! Yesterday, all I could manage to do was nap! I didn’t even tear down the WSM!
Happy birthday my digital amigo!
Does anyone have any plans for eclipse fun? Jon? You will be up to your armpits in tax work I’m sure but, who else is in the “Zone of Totality”?
SWMBO wants to see it almost as much as I do so, we will get a little “cruise time” in to celebrate her first week of retirement. She will be still on...
The pretty loaf of soda bread
The cabbage and some small onions are in the crockpot, big red kettle for potatoes and carrots.
I’m not fond of everything in the broth, I think you lose some of the individual flavor and it all becomes too “muddy”. I know some folks will hate me for that but,I’ve...
Just started these smoking!
Had a couple of short ribs that were thawed in error so, they are joining the party!
The smoking jacket is courtesy of Chris and I have been very happy with it, thanks again!
Have not installed the hinge or body locks yet, the loop hanger works pretty well until I get...
Tortilla chips, brisket dip, peanuts, double smoked Mettwurst, (could have come off half an hour sooner but, guests…) bbq, teenie weenies, cheese dip and crackers!
Have not been grilling much, weather and desire have not cooperated!
So, since it wasn’t raining, snowing, windy enough to fly a kite I decided it was time!
Somehow, this all turned out “Goldilocks” not too hot, not too cold, it was juuuust right!
Cauldron of chili in the oven, I actually made it yesterday (day 2 is always better!)
Rack of pork, ready to hit the grill.
Roast Carrots.
Roast Beets.
Hoppin’ Johns.
Corn sticks to be made later.
I've had this planned for a while, can’t stop without throwing parts of it away and, I hate wasting...
The menu is starting to shape up pretty well!

Mashed potatoes Au Gratin
Hassleback sweet potatoes
Cheesy Broccoli casserole
Creamed pearl onions
The last Boonzaaijer dinner rolls
And the last Boonzaaijer Christmas cake (no Bûche de Nöel). I’m heartbroken about that...
Rack of pork, mashed potatoes, sautéed zucchini !
I didn’t spin it, didn‘t feel like uncovering the rotisserie rig.
Dinner was mighty tasty!
Kitchen cleaned up, most holiday decorations set up. I can go to bed and feel good about the day!
I think this will be very helpful tonight! Not brutally cold expected but, cool.
Right now, it’s looking like 50 overnight, possible rain in the morning, I hope I can get through this cook before it decides to really get wet! I suppose I can drop a patio umbrella over the top to keep the smoker...
I know you have seen many of the pictures of the beautifully decorated cakes my family has enjoyed for almost fifty years but, I am sad to say that there will be no more. Boonzaaijer bakery just down the street is closing after 62 years. Their cookies, dinner rolls, cakes and cream pies shall...
With encouragement from Brett, I felt it was time to dive headlong into a Porchetta project! Trimmed the 9.5# rascal and got to it!
no picture of the “paste” but, it looked pretty much like Brett’s.
All pierced
Sneared and ready to roll.
Trussed and salted headed to the fridge for a rest...
Have not done a brisket since August, got a reasonable price the other day at Costco So, I just got one on for an overnight cook. I’m glad to have the rain stop, supposed to be little chance the rest of the night so, I’m expecting an uneventful evening. WSM settled in pretty nicely, not much...
The menu is looking like:
Chips, salsa etc.
Texas Twinkie's

SRF porchetta
Roasted root vegetables
Potatoes Romanoff
Baked Beans
Dessert of Boonzaaijer cake
BYOB!
Kitchen set up, extra cooler is below the bench behind the ”Trolley”!
I think I’m pretty well set.
Oh...
My wife’s son got me a “Nuuk” stainless steel topped trolley for my birthday (and assembled it) so now I have just a bit more work space for theBIG party next week!
Here is this weeks beef and booze
and the new cart,
I used some pneumatic “Leveling bags“ to lift the “bench top” so the cart...
Im looking for the thermoset side table (fixed, not the swing up one) for a silver B. Not in any rush but, it’s going to make a little nicer look than the steel floor vents I’m temporarily using.
Thanks guys,
