I’ve been cooking homemade pizzas for a couple months now on the “wood fired pizza attachment” from Green Mountain Grills, which fits perfectly on my RecTeq RT-700 Bull smoker / pellet grill. This is the first time I’ve written down the results of my iterative experiments, however, so I’m hoping this documentation will lead to …

Log: Smoked Salmon & Shrimp with Gospel Rub
Yesterday’s Friday night dinner included smoked salmon, shrimp, and a garden salad. This was the first time I’ve cooked both salmon and shrimp skewers using Meat Church BBQ’s All Purpose Rub. Here’s a summary of my cook notes and lessons learned. When cooking fish and seafood, I think it’s best to cook at a high …

Log: Courage Butternut Squash with Shish Kabobs
Last night I originally thought I would just grill out (smoke on the pellet smoker) some chicken. Watching our AI powered “recent highlights” album from Google Photos on our bedroom Chromecast-powered TV, however, I saw a photo of a past shish kabob cook. This inspired the thought, “I can cook that tonight!” We LOVE enjoying …

I modified a recipe for “sweet pepper nachos.” Instead of tortilla chips, I spread sliced sweet peppers on a foil covered cookie sheet. I sautéed two chopped jalapeños along with half a poblano pepper, added lean ground beef and taco seasoning. I layered that mixture …
Log: Smoked Chicken Wings
I cooked chicken wings this afternoon for Saturday lunch. This is becoming a relatively frequent favorite. I used Costco’s Wings, which include 6 packages, and cooked two of the packages, which makes a good amount for 2 or 3 hungry people. (Rachel and I ate almost all of them.) I have not yet tried the …
Log: Pulled Pork With Bourbon Sauce
Pulled pork turned out great today. Smoked for 10 hours (overnight) at 225° on the RecTeq RT-700. I really love how satisfying it is to pull apart the pork shoulder when it’s completely cooked and so soft. The “Rib Rack Bourbon BBQ sauce” turned out really tasty, combined with the “Grilling Addiction” rub from Butcher …
