I’ve cooked jalapeño poppers several different ways, but this is our family favorite! It’s also my favorite way to eat leftover beef brisket! Shout out to Firebirds Meat Market in Oklahoma City, where I learned jalapeño poppers can become SO MUCH better with a little brisket inside! Shout out also to Matt of Meat Church’s …

Log: Smoker Pizza
Heating up a frozen pizza does not qualify as “cooking” for some people, but we’ve been experiencing with both homemade pizzas and store-bought frozen pizzas as a quick after-church Sunday lunch for a few months. Results have been good, so I’ll document and share what we’ve been doing and like the best now. Costco has …
Favorite BBQ Rubs & Seasonings
Here are some of my favorite rubs and seasonings I use for backyard barbecue as well as other dishes I like to cook. Most of these are available at Champion BBQ Supply here in Oklahoma City. The best source (because of supply chain issues I think) for Meat Church rubs is Buc-ees gas stations down …
Carolina Style Grilled Chicken
Truth be told, I have no idea if this is how Carolina-style smoked chicken really / officially tastes. But I found this barbecue sauce at our local Champion BBQ Supply Store in Oklahoma City, and it turned out great! One of the employees recommended the Piggy Bank Pork & Rib Rub, so I tried them …
Cleaning Smoker Grill Grates
Cleaning your outdoor smoker or grill gates can be a pain but is very important. This is a 14 minute tutorial video (“Cleaning Smoker Grill Grates with an Overnight Soak”) on how I clean the VERY dirty grates on my RecTeq RT-700 Bull smoker periodically using the $13 “Carbona 2-In 1 Oven Rack & Grill …
Log: Smoked Chuck Roast
Brisket prices are high, so why not smoke a chuck roast just like a brisket? That’s what I did today, and the results were great. I didn’t narrate the cook video this time, but did start with the best part: The requisite taste test by Rosie and Moose, our golden retrievers. They approved! "Smoked Chuck …
Log: New Year’s Brisket Jalapeño Poppers
Smoking a brisket as I did yesterday can have wonderful ripple effects and ancillary benefits. Brisket scrambled eggs and brisket jalapeño poppers are two of my favorite recipes to cook with leftover brisket. Tonight’s poppers were definitely the best I’ve ever cooked personally, so I wanted to be sure and document some of the details …
Log: Holiday Smoked Prime Rib
I’ve been cooking prime rib for Christmas dinner off and on for the past 10 years, since starting in 2011, and this year was our best ever! It was also my first year to SMOKE our prime rib outside on my RecTeq RT-700 Bull Grill. I primarily followed the Hey Grill Hey recipe and video …
Log: Pellet Smoker Pizza Oven Pizza
I’m getting closer to perfecting delicious “oven stone cooked cauliflower pizza crust pizza” 🍕 on our pellet smoker! I found these “Caulipower cauliflower crusts” at Walmart, just $6.50 for two. We’ve tried three or four different kinds of cauliflower pizza dough and crust so far, and this is absolutely our favorite! (See my post from …
Log: Pellet Smoker Pizza Oven
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 …
