Jalapeño Poppers are a great appetizer for any BBQ or Football party, but frying is messy and a pain to clean up. I came across a recipe on the internet for grilled poppers and made some modifications and this is the recipe I use when making poppers at our house. They are mild and have great smokey flavor. This is something you can put on the smoker during your long smokes to have as a snack and hold you over till the main course is ready. Ingredients: 8-10 large fresh jalapeño peppers 1 … [Read more...]
Char-Griller Akorn Mustard Crusted Cedar Planked Salmon
Some backyard "Pit-masters" are intimidated when it comes to grilling fish. Most are afraid of the fish falling apart or just not turning out with good flavor.

Char-Griller Akorn Smoked Pork Butt
Pulled pork is a staple in a good BBQ Pit-masters recipe book. I have made pulled pork flavored in many ways but found that simple BBQ is the best.

With the Akorn you can control the temperature much better and are not tethered to the grill all day adding charcoal … [Read more...]

This is one of my first direct grill recipes on the Char-Griller Akorn and was quite excited at how it … [Read more...]
Chargriller Akorn Smoked Pot Roast
Well, it has been a while since I have been able to write a new post. My wife and I have transferred from Alabama back to Michigan and I have needed the summer to get settled into my new job.

So since it was spitting snow flakes and freezing rain I decided to make a good hearty winter meal. Pot Roast reminds me of … [Read more...]
