Why settle for an average breakfast sandwich when you can amp it up with homemade Canadian bacon? Trimmed an 8.25-lb. pork loin down to 7.5 lbs. and split it into two pieces. Brined for 3.5 days and then let rest in the fridge for a day and a half. Smoked in the 210-220°F range using a charcoal fuse and maple chips until internal temp hit 150°F.

Turkey tenderloins (boneless breast meat) marinated in Italian dressing, soy sauce, lemon juice, and garlic and finished with a hoisin sauce, shaoxing wine, and honey glaze. Moist and flavorful.

I’m finally getting around to posting my Thanksgiving turkey pics. 12-lb. fresh (not frozen) bird spatchcocked and dry-brined for 3 days. Roasted at 325-350°F (measured at the grate not the lid) for about 2½ hours in a 26" Weber kettle. Hot coals on the side using my homegrown firebrick containment system. Above the fire were chunks of hickory and cherry for some smoke and a small water pan for a little moisture. Foil pan underneath the turkey to catch drippings for gravy. The final product was moist and flavorful with perfectly crispy skin. Super easy method; in fact, I may never wet brine a turkey ever again.

Pork tenderloins and a couple of turkey thighs, slow smoked on a Weber kettle using the snake/fuse method with chunks of cherry wood. The meat got hit with a sweet and tangy glaze. The Guinness was for me.

Turkey thighs!!

Ground brisket burger topped with burnt ends and spicy pickle slaw. Simply ridiculous. Perhaps one of the best BBQ sandwiches I’ve ever had. Succulent meat. Slaw complemented rather than overpowered. Side of beans also delicious. This is the kind of barbeque that makes me proud to be a Kansas City native.

This, dear friends, is a 15-lb. whole packer brisket cooked via the hot and fast method in under 6 hours. It was tender and juicy and prepared in less then half the time and with way less hassle than low and slow.

I smoked this on a Weber WSM 22" over Royal Oak lump charcoal using the Minion method and chunks of hickory in a temperature range of 300°F to 325°F. The brisket was cooked fat side down, and I removed the water pan from the smoker.

I pulled the brisket when the internal temp hit 160°F, wrapped it in butcher paper, and put it back on the smoker. I pulled it a second time when the internal temps in various locations were 195°F to 200°F, and then I let the brisket rest for about 30 minutes in the butcher paper. When I unwrapped everything, there was a ton of juice and the bark was still nice. The meat sliced easily and had great texture and moisture.

I may never do another low and slow brisket ever again!

The little guy needs to move closer to the fire or else he'll never get tender enough to eat.
