Brisket burnt ends were one of my mom’s favorite barbecue meats. I love Texas-style barbecue brisket so much, however, it’s not often I make burnt ends. They are always popular when I do, however, and they never last long. In the attached cook video, I tried preparing two different varieties of burnt ends. Next time, …

Log: Smoked Chicken and Asparagus
Tonight’s dinner wasn’t really anything special but boy did it ever taste GREAT to me! After watching the Netflix series “Chef’s Table” on BBQ, featuring Tootsie from Snow’s BBQ in Texas, I’ve enjoyed cooking chicken leg quarters more than ever. They are VERY inexpensive (sadly because of our inhumane factory farming methods) and messier than …
Log: Birthday Steaks with Meater Thermometer
Saturday night we celebrated (early) our son’s 25th birthday, and I cooked some filet mignon steaks as well as ribeyes. According to my wife, these were the best filets I’ve ever cooked for her, and that is her favorite steak, so this was a home run. (For the record, I think everyone who opted for …

Brisket Jalapeño Poppers
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 …
