Agree. I have this sorta reputation for overfeeding, and I can't remember the last cook I did that didn't include sides and at least one appetizer...and I usually do two or three. This would be perfect to throw on while the main meat is finishing up on the cooker.

Thank you everyone. This was so easy to do yet delicious. I can see where one could play around with rubs and sauces to make some pretty interesting flavors. These were done at 250 degrees and I let them go for 2 hrs. Started checking at 1/ 1/2 hrs. I glazed for about 10 to 15 minutes to let it set up and get blended in real good. Easy appetizer!

Looks delicious. Nice presentation. Now the wine glass 🍷. Is that design inspired by Panhead John infamous plate pattern? Looks similar.

Honestly, I am not posting the same photo over and over.
Here is tonight's tacos......tilapia seasoned with Malcom Reed's Fajita Seasoning (the precursor to his Grande Gringo), cooked to 145 F (in the oven, have you seen the heat index outside?!), cut up and placed in ready corn tortillas, then doused with Tapatio, topped with butter lettuce (had some I needed to use up), and finally Mexican cheese.
Very good....but I need to find a way for tilapia to be less mushy. I might try lightly frying it next time.

Looks good sir! Trusty tip here from ol PJ. Go to Walmart and try Patti Labelle’s frozen Mac and cheese. You’ll never eat the boxed stuff again.

Smoked up some St. Louis cut ribs last Sunday for the family. Haven't smoked anything in a while due to all of the rain we've had here. Actually, did these especially for my grandson Julian. He is the rib lover. Rubbed them with The BBQ Rub and finished with a glaze of Blues Hog original. Smoked with a chunk of apple and a chunck of peach wood.

Well not to be outdone by Fritz above, prior to upcoming storm threats I smoked some large beef back rib plates I picked up at Costco. These thing were ginormous with tons of meat on them. They almost got to shorty status with the same uncurious, fatty beefy taste. Salt brined overnight, cooked at 275*F with oak chunks using 16 mesh black pepper and a little of Hank's Bonafide Beef Rub. Came out dang good on the trusty old Weber 26", my favorite pit.

Draznnl @jfmmoris Joey877 The smoke cream cheese was super easy to do. I took mine for about two hours at 250°. I’ld start checking about the hour and a half mark just to see what they look like. I put the jelly on about the last 10 to 15 minutes just to let that set up pretty good. Great appetizer. Super easy.

Wife & I went rustic boat-in camping with another couple and I cooked these ribeyes over oak coals, used a little salt plus a little Hank's Signature rub couple hrs prior. Some of the best I've had in ages, and the others all agreed to the same. My cousin said she didn't realize steaks could taste this good and that she'd pay for this.
If you have never, or if it's been a long time since you've cooked steaks over only wood coals, DO IT! Charcoal is great, wood coals are better.

That's what I love about my Santa Maria grill. There's something about smoke wafting around the meat rather than bathing it. Might be the bit of ash as well.
