  • Brisket Pie on the Traeger

    Brisket Pie on the Traeger

    I had a couple freezer bags of brisket in the freezer and I had a hankering for some brisket and yet I did not want to have brisket sandwiches. So, why not brisket pie? Yep, brisket pie. I started out with putting the brisket into my stainless bread mixing bowl and added a package of…

  • Stuffed Pork Loin on the Ugly Drum Smoker

    Stuffed Pork Loin on the Ugly Drum Smoker

    We had our first day without rain – the first day in 30 days with no rain! It was heavenly. So no rain? I got outside and fired up my Ugly Drum Smoker. The end result was pretty darn good. The stuffing was a little wetter than I usually like but it had a nice,…

  • Pork Loin on the Ugly Drum Smoker

    Pork Loin on the Ugly Drum Smoker

    I did it again this weekend. I fired up the ugly drum smoker. Friday night on my way home I stopped at Costco and they had pork loin on for six dollars a kilo. So I thought to myself, let’s do this. I bought and took home a 4 kg pork loin. I rolled some…

  • Firing up the Ugly Drum Smoker

    Firing up the Ugly Drum Smoker

    This weekend, for the first time since the summer just gone, I fired up the beast – my Ugly Drum Smoker. And it was ultra-cool feeling to make some barbecue!

    My Ugly Drum Smoker Follow-up

    I did it. I have managed to finish building, seasoning, and now cooking meat in the Ugly Drum Smoker that I started building earlier this summer. Yes I did. I cooked a set of side ribs and a pile of sausages. The ribs and sausages turned out “okay”. Not great. My results may be more…

    Building an Ugly Drum Smoker

    I want a Big Green Egg barbecue-smoker but I do not have the budget for one. So the next best thing – according to the internets is an Ugly Drum Smoker. A UDS. So I built one. Well, I started to build one. Mine is 90% done. I will work on it some more this…

  • Instant Pot Pork Chops

    I got home yesterday to find that there was nothing in the fridge to feed the family. And they were hungry. Hungry and quickly transitioning to hangry. What to do? Yes, that is correct, I turned to the Instant Pot. And, I went way out of comfort zone because I put FROZEN meat in my…

  • Brisket from Dixie’s Barbecue

    Last weekend I happened to be near Dixie’s Barbecue on East Hastings just east of Main Street. Seeing as I had already eaten dinner, I decided to go to the “build your own BBQ platter” menu at Dixie’s so that I could keep it “light”. I ordered the quarter pound of in-house smoked brisket and…

  • Lunch at Memphis Blues Barbecue

    The barbecue scene in Vancouver has certainly improved over the last few years; there is the Hogshack out in Steveston, Dixies on Hastings Street, Peckinpah in Gastown, and of course a number of locations of Memphis Blues Barbecue House. Last week when we were hankering for some barbecue, we decided to visit the Richards Street…
