Meadow Creek TS120 Smoker Story

Meadow Creek Smoker Loaded

Three weeks ago on Memorial Day, I pulled a Meadow Creek TS120 Smoker into my back yard and loaded it down with lots of exciting proteins. We enjoyed barbecue throughout the day, and in the evening had my parents and family over for dinner.

I filled the smoker with the following: 6 slabs of St. Louis ribs, 4 whole chickens, 2 sausage logs, a brisket, 4 tenderloins, 4 pounds of meatloaf, potatoes, and onions. I fired the smoker around 10:20 in the morning and pulled the last of the food off at 5:30, around 7 hours later. Everything was knock-your-socks off delicious, except for my lean grass-fed brisket, which somehow got burned on the bottom side, but still turned out WAY to good to throw to the dog.

Outer Banks Barbecue

Friday, October 5th, 2012

Last week we took a family vacation on the OBX, a thin ridge of left-over sand dunes off the east coast. It was so much fun relaxing and playing in the beach environment. Flip flops, “strangely” colored buildings, grit in your teeth, sea gulls, hanging out in the pool, eating crab cakes, swimming in the ocean, and playing in God’s big sandbox.

Another highlight was cooking some good food at the house. (As well as solidifying my hatred for lighter fluid and falling more in love with my electric charcoal lighter. 😎 ) I cooked a couple pans of Cheesy Squealin’s, a meatloaf, and two sausage fatties.

One morning my wife and I took a beach walk to enjoy the sunrise together. The walk—uh, I mean the sunrise, was just stunning. (Short video clip at the bottom of this post.)

Banjo Music and Barbecue Stories

Saturday, July 28th, 2012

This spring we took a family vacation in my beloved Smoky Mountains for 5 nights. We had a lot of good times in the beautiful cabin where we stayed. A few of my highlights were eating picnics and hiking in a thunderstorm with soggy shoes.

Me being the barbecue dude, I took a variety of meats and my barbecue supplies. Upon arrival, I realized the only grill we have is one of those cool park grills. Hmm. This is really great for smoking those hens I brought.

Turns out, you can do a lot of cool stuff with a park grill and I want to show you how I used them to cook a few meals including a smoked meatloaf. 🙂

Here is a slideshow video I made from our trip:

I won’t get into the bears, amazing trails, and magnificent waterfalls right now, but I want to tell you a little about the fun time I had cooking. The most interesting part was fiddling with my converted park grill smoker.

Memorial Day Barbecue on the PR36 Smoker

Friday, June 10th, 2011

I hope everyone is staying cool and enjoying plenty of barbecue. I just love cooking and eating in the back yard!

On Memorial Day, Marlin and I got together and cooked a whole bunch of stuff on Meadow Creek’s PR36 Backyard Smoker. The PR36 Smoker is small, versatile, and easy to use. For indirect (low and slow) cooking, we build the fire beneath the drip pan. Or you can build your fire on the drip pan for direct heat grilling.

Here is a photo album to get your mouth watering and your brain spinning. We cooked meatloaf, pork tenderloin, a whole chicken, potatoes, onions, and steaks. Was it ever good! 🙂

Have fun,

Lavern
