Grilled Brats Recipe

Lavern — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:50:03 +0000

Last evening we enjoyed a great dinner of grilled brats off the BBQ26S Meadow Creek Grill and our special topping of cooked peppers and onions. I like it so well, I just have to share it with you. So here are some pictures to start it off. The recipe is below.

Click on a photo to enlarge it.

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons butter
4 cups sliced peppers
2 cups sliced onions
Favorite barbecue rub
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
10 brats

Lay the brats on your grill grate and season them with your favorite rub. Grill the brats over direct heat until they are well browned on two sides.

Once the brats are cooking on the grill, put a skillet on the stovetop or an outdoor burner, such as your grill side burner. Brown the butter in the skillet, then add the peppers and onions. Stir these often to keep them from burning. After it cooks down add a liberal sprinkling of rub and the barbecue sauce. Mix it well.

Serve the grilled brats on hotdog buns or homemade bread with the topping and sliced cheese. You may also enjoy ketchup, mustard, and other condiments with your sandwiches.

Extremely easy and edible!

Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Marlin Grills Chicken

Lavern — Mon, 31 May 2010 20:28:25 +0000

Today is a day off for Marlin, so he fired up his Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker and cooked some skinless, boneless chicken breasts. He marinated them in our chicken marinade recipe overnight and spiced ‘em up with a little Weber Kick’n Chicken seasoning. They were certainly outstanding and extremely delicious.

Enjoy the slideshow!

My Dinner

Smoked Chicken Breasts on Sunday Afternoon

Lavern — Tue, 04 May 2010 22:36:13 +0000

Last week I found some split chicken breasts at the grocery store for 99 cents / lb. I thought that was a pretty good price so I got three packs to smoke in my Meadow Creek SQ36 Smoker. Sunday afternoon I fired up the smoker and smoked my chicken on the back porch. It was fun sitting on my beach chair and watch the rain. Sorry, I didn’t get any pics of the chicken on the smoker; we had company over and I took it off in a hurry.

Lavern — Tue, 04 May 2010 02:17:48 +0000

Here are a few pictures of the barbecue we cooked at Cold Springs Garden Center Open House. We fired up the Meadow Creek PR60T Pig Roaster with a grill pan and gave away hundreds of burgers and hotdogs. Also smoked some chicken breasts on the TS60 Barbecue Smoker and grilled some chicken wings on the BBQ26S Chicken Cooker. We had a great fun time.

Cold Springs Garden Center, a parent company of Yoder’s Smoky Mountain Barbecue, is celebrating their expansion with an Open House April 23-24 (Friday and Saturday). Gardeners and flower enthusiasts from the community are already busy exploring the 16,000+ square feet of greenhouse area and hauling out plants by the carloads.

Marlin plans to grill burgers and hotdogs on a Meadow Creek PR60 Pig Cooker both Friday and Saturday on Meadow Creek barbecue equipment. He’ll also be giving away some delicious chicken wing samples cooked on a Meadow Creek BBQ26S Chicken Cooker. And if you happen to be here at the right time, you can sample some smoked chicken hot off the Meadow Creek TS60 Smoker.

So here’s your chance to take a little drive and see our inventory for yourself and watch us using it.

Hope to see you here.

We traveled to Meadow Creek Welding again for our annual trip to their Dealer Day and Open House. It is always a fun time of reconnecting with the folks at Meadow Creek and being around lots of barbecue, as well as learning how to serve you better. Here are a bunch of photos we took when we were in Amish country (don’t miss the horses and the ice cream machine).

Grilling on Hatteras Island

Lavern — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 17:31:25 +0000

We’re on vacation this week on Hatteras Island out on the Outer Banks along the US east coast. I grilled some burgers and cheese-filled hot dogs last evening. It’s hard to beat those Bubba Burgers when it comes to store-bought burgers and the John F Martin dogs are some of the best! Try some the next time you fire up the grill for some plain old-fashioned grilling.

Later in the week, we have grilled steak and chicken on the menu also.

Not much to say today. Just wanted to share some of the barbecue goodness we are experiencing here. We fired up the TS60 Barbecue Smoker to cook some chicken breasts, a couple briskets, and a turkey. The chicken turned out delicious; the other meat is still cooking.

My Birthday

Lavern — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:05:21 +0000

I had a wonderful and enjoyable birthday on Saturday. Besides all the other special stuff, my wife arranged to get me a new SQ36 Meadow Creek Smoker! I didn’t have a clue about it until we drove up to my dad’s house where we were going to smoke with my brother’s smoker (or so I thought!).

I’ve wanted a small backyard smoker for quite a while, so I’m quite delighted. Mine has a second tier grate and one of those optional grill pans, so I can grill steaks and burgers, OR smoke ribs, chicken, brisket, or whatever with an offset firebox.

We also fired up the BBQ26S Chicken Cooker and grilled some steaks, which I had marinated overnight and seasoned with a homemade mixture. Of course, everything turned out delicious, and we had lots of left-overs.

Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Signing off for more of those birthday ribs,

Lavern

PS. Thanks, honey.
