Mexican Pizza and Calzone for Father’s Day. Traditionally on Father’s Day dads get to kick back with the grill and a few cold ones. The problem I had was I couldn’t make up my mind as to what I wanted. I wanted pizza and at the same time I wanted tacos. So, I came up with a “Mexican Pizza”, it’s like a big burrito…
Tailgating Tri Tip Tex-Mex Style is taking tailgating to a higher level. For us tailgating on our Green Mountain Grill/Smoker isn’t always just hot dogs and burgers. We love steak and taters so why not when we go camping and tailgating! We did a reverse sear on a chipotle rubbed Tri Tip. Served with grilled peppers and onions with a pile of taters. Then,…
Buffalo Onions, there is no one way to do them and they are super easy to do. They can be a different grilling adventure every time you make them! Our Buffalo Sauce recipe is better than most, on the mild side but packed with flavor. Easy to zip it up but as is it was a bit zippy for Patti. The only thing that…
Smoky Garlic Onion Pork Chops are so tender and juicy. Who says that camp cooking is boring?

Buffalo Dump Chili because we’ve been in the mood for great Chili. So, I thought I would make a dump chili using buffalo chunks that we slow smoked in Mesquite. This would be an awesome camping or tailgating recipe, too. I have been making chili for over 45 years now with little or no measuring so guess you could call it a dump Chili. In…
Hawaiian Burger, Ken loves his food extra, extra spicy. But, Patti wanted something a little sweet for date night. We both wanted some seriously flavorful. Hawaiian Burger is a big, beefy burger, topped with ham, smoked Gouda, and pepper jack cheese with a grilled slice of pineapple. The perfect seasoning for both was Swimmin’ in Smoke Booty Shake and Grandville’s BBQ Jam Pineapple flavor.…
Bacon Bourbon Beanie Wienies adds a little distinction to a simple classic that’s loved by kids of all ages. We used the best wienies we could find: Raider Red Beef Franks. Everybody loves Ken’s baked beans; after all he’s been working on the recipe for over thirty years. The difference with these is we added a whole bottle of Briggs True Bourbon Bacon BBQ…
Chipotle Bacon Bombs are a good meaty snack or appetizer for parties or tailgating. A great start for anything we come up with. How about Chipotle Bacon Bombs on a Stick? We let our “Crash Test Dummies” try these out and they were a huge hit. There were no survivors…and no need for the main course. We all could have just eaten these for hours.
Cinco de Mayo Chicken Burger. Tender chicken breast that’s wrapped with a slice of thick cut pepper bacon. Then, a “Kiss of Smoke’, fresh lettuce, tomato and red sweet onion. Topped with Guacamole and Queso sauce with Hatch Chilies. Did I say that “I LOVE BIG BURGERS”? Last week we ordered some tamales from Texas Lone Star Tamales. (Patti loves the chocolate tamales when I…

Being Ken made his awesome 16lb. chuck roast they wanted instructions to make simple tacos that…
Ginger Glazed Spatchcock Chicken Ginger Glazed Spatchcock Chicken, we love grilled chicken; and doing another Spatchcock Chicken was easy and flavorful.

Spatchcock Chicken is simple and easy to do on the Green Mountain Wood Pellet…
