Home-smoked Top Round

On April 6, 2020April 6, 2020 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

I have been curious to see how a cut of beef like top round would taste when smoked like a large cut of beef, like a brisket. So here's what I found. I started with a ~3lb top round. I seasoned it the same way I do for my briskets - with a 50/50 sea …

Cold-smoked cheese – new method

On January 6, 2020 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From Home2 Comments

Over a year ago I came up with a wacky contraption that leveraged the smoke generated by my Traeger pellet grill to cold smoke cheese, bacon, etc. Since that time I spent a fair bit of time and discussion with good friends about ways to better dissipate the heat generated by the smoker, and thus …

Home-smoked pulled pork for my church Christmas party

On December 16, 2019December 17, 2019 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

Last month I was asked if I'd be willing to smoke the pulled pork for our church Christmas party. I of course jumped at the opportunity. It turned out to be every bit as much work I thought it would be (and maybe more so). But it was also so much fun. The ask was …

Home-smoked Bacon Burgers

On September 6, 2019 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

I was really having a hankering for the incredible Smokehouse Burger from my favorite BBQ joint in the whole world, Tejas BBQ & Chocolate. But it was only Monday and Tejas was going to be shut down on the Wednesday when they typically serve them. So I had to take matters into my own hands. …

Home-smoked Pastrami Brisket

On July 26, 2019 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

We took a roadtrip to the DFW area last weekend to spend some time with family. My brother-in-law is a huge fan of smoked meat as well, and had the outstanding idea of making our own pastrami. He got two brisket flats and brined them for the week before we went so that the briskets …

Cold-smoked bacon at home

On January 15, 2019 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From Home1 Comment

I've really wanted to make my own "no nitrites added" bacon for awhile now. I made my DIY cold smoker attachment for my Traeger a few months ago, and have been dying to cold smoke bacon. Here's how I did it: I bought a ~9 lb pork belly from my local Costco and then cut …

DIY cold smoker — and some cold-smoked cheese

On September 10, 2018 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From Home1 Comment

I've been toying with the idea of doing some cold smoking for quite awhile now. At first I thought I'd just buy the commercially-manufactured cold smoker attachment for my Traeger. But it isn't cheap. And call me weird, but Traeger doesn't make a grill cover anymore that works for the Elite 34 with the cold …

Home-smoked Spatchcock Chicken

On August 17, 2018August 17, 2018 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

A couple weeks ago I finally got some time to do a spatchcocked chicken on my Traeger Texas Elite 34 pellet grill. I'm fortunate to get my chickens from the daughter of some good friends, who raises them for high school FFA. So they are really big, fat, raised without hormones, etc., and thus so …

Home-smoked Pork Tenderloin

On August 6, 2018 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

Sometimes it is fun to enjoy some well-smoked meat but without a huge time commitment. That's what I needed a weekend or two ago. So I just grabbed a pork tenderloin  (not to be confused with a pork loin). I covered it with a slather of extra virgin olive oil, fresh minced garlic, fresh chopped …

Home-grilled steak & seafood

On July 16, 2018July 24, 2018 By Dave PetersonIn BBQ From HomeLeave a comment

We had some friends over Saturday night to introduce them to cooking on a pellet grill. It was fun showing them how simple to use these grills are. I love my Traeger Texas Elite 34! It was BYOM so we had a variety of tasty grilled meat to share. Ribeye, New York strip and top sirloin …
