Amped up smoked injected hot wings!

The ingredients. I have been wanting to do some injected wings, but do them just a tad bit different. I took my base recipe, 3 parts franks, 1 part beer, 2-4 tbls butter (this batch took 4). Mix that all up, and here's the kicker I added 4 oz of blue cheese right into the marinade. I went ahead and simmered this all together. The cheese broke down a bit, but sti\ll not enough to keep from clogging my small injector. So I had to use the big injector. Which is not ideal for wings, I've shot hot sauce all over the kitchen before with it! Knowing what to expect I was extra careful. I only had one blow out the for the most part only soaked me with hot sauce. I injected the wings in the morning and let them sit in the fridge for 7 hours. I always pour the left over marinade on the wings.

Injected and ready to rest!

Had ABT's for breakfast! I mean why not its Super Bowl Sunday!

Fired up the mini sometime during the first quarter. 365 brand lump, cherry and pecan wood. I wanted to do these hot and fast, so I ran the mini without any sort of diffuser. Ran the mini right at 350°

These turned out fantastic! Adding the Blue Cheese into the injection was AWESOME!!!

Enjoy!!!!

A little steak a little snow a little smoker

Nothing fancy. Had a few New york strip steaks that needed a little reverse sear. Fired up the mini-wsm, Kingsford Blue, cherry, pecan. Run the smoker at 200°, then sear the steaks off. Gotta love the mini for that! Served with garlic mashers and steamed broccoli.

Swimming in Worcestershire for a few hours.

Prepping the mini, just starting to snow!

The BBQ guard pig doing his job.

Fresh off the grill. I cancelled the sear. I got distracted and didn't get them out of the smoke in time. I didn't want them over cooked!

ENJOY!!!

Roast Beast Sandwee!!!

The other day I fired up the Mini-WSM and cooked up a really nice bottom round roast. Last night I shaved off some pieces for a deluxe dip Sandwee. I also smoked up some Au Jus when I smoked the roast.

Paper thin or as close as I can get to it with out a slicer!

Into the pot, cover Au Jus, cover and slowly heat.

Seasoned baker fries ready for the oven! Olive oil, salt, pepper, Old bay, dill, garlic. 450° oven on parchment paper lined baking tray or use cooking spray. About 30 minutes, turning once.

Steaming away. Normally I would saute up some onions, garlic, shrooms (only for the wife), but it was only me and I was feeling lazy!

Toasted up a Hoagie, grinder, or Sandwee roll. Spread garlic butter place face down in hot cast iron pan.

Pile on the steamed meat

Add Cheesus and Au Jus!

Snuck a sliced tomater in there to make the wife think this was a well rounded meal! To my defense I did use Thai chiles and v-8 in the Au Jus!

Ummmmmm, Drool!!!!

ENJOY!!!!

Perfect weather for pot roast!

Pot roast sounded good. So into the smoker we go been super cold here the last couple days. Hit -18 last night was -13 when I got up. About 8 right now. Running the mini at 285* cherry and pecan.







Making Smokey Au Jus and roasted veggies too.

IGrill performed flawlessly in the single digit weather!



As did the Mini-WSM

---

This is my play on a Philly Cheese steak using Smoked Cheesus, and grilled smoked injected chicken breasts.



Step one inject a mixture of Franks, creole butter and beer into the breasts and let them marinate for a hour or so.





Cut up a bunch of jalapenos, mini sweet peppers, onion and garlic



Saute with smoked butter on the grill until the onion and peppers are tender



Grill up the injected breasts. I used my 12" AMNTS with apple and cherry for smoke. I place it on one side of the grill that I leave off.



Shaved Smoked Tillamook Pepper Jack!



Grilled garlic buns



Assemble and return to the grill just long enough to get the Cheesus to melt!







ENJOY!!!!
