Chief Grey Bear

Also did 3 slabs. Had to cut them in half to get them to fit. Still waiting on a smoked Mac and cheese to finish. Doing a different twist on it. Using a nacho cheese as the cheese sauce.

Fat bottom chickens You make The BBQ world go round

I'm doing this someday!

I haven't seen it on a menu, but I'm sure it is. The wife and I went to a Huddle House one time and they had the option to put chili on hashbrowns. We did. We loved it. Sometime later at home, it struck me one morning to add chili to my omelette. The rest is history in the Chiefs TeePee.

Have you ever tried a chili omelette?

I'm still messing around. I smoked some eggs and sausages the other day. I put them in a jalapeño brine to age. WOW!!

Those store bought rotisserie chickens are amazing! I can eat a whole one lickity split!

I haven't been around much lately, but I'm still alive an kicking. The other I was playing around with something that I used to do years ago. And that was making skinless chicken thighs and grilling them but trying to make it eye appealing as if they had their skin on. So during the grilling process I would paint a thin coating of sauce on them and let it cook in. I would keep repeating that process until they were fully cooked. And they always came out with this really deep, beautiful, rich, color. I hadn't done it in about 15 years but I got to thinking about it and wanted to try it again. This is my first attempt and I think I can do a little better. So I'll keep playing around this, this summer and see how I do.

Not even remotely hot but have a dang good flavor!

Uh oh!

Can't we have natural records anymore? Do we have to artificialy enhance everything to make us feel more manly?

Do you eat the pods after the Vick's so's it cleans the palate?

Absolutely! I like horseradish, but too much is like eating Vick's!

Boy I dunno. Is that gonna fill a feller up? whats your meatball recipe?

I'm in!

Ya know the other great thing about over here, is when you take a pic and post it, it's not a stupid selfie every time! We all believe you actually cooked it. We don't have to see our ugly mugs next to every dish. And I'm glad when you guys get bored, you don't post a barrage of selfies! Good Lort!

Me too!

Slow down now fellas. Let's not start down this road of no pics! Tonights dessert.

I like that joe. Now I'll tell you something really funny. Everybody here is very mild mannered and just let things like this slip right on by. But boy, swing by the east coast boys and drop a little nugget of humor, truth really, and they gang up like a herd of bees and start tossing jabs. But unlike bees, they have no real sting. Thanks for checking in. It's good to hear from you from time to time.

I don't figure we will start until about May at least. Let the weather settle a bit and have water warm enough to wade if needed. You're definetly in!

Doubt it. That maybe just an overnight trip for Al, but we are only going to average 6 miles a day. Very doable. I've seen you do that in a day.

I want in on this!

I smoked a chuck roast and sliced paper thin for sandwhiches. I used the last of it to make smoked Philly steak cheese fries. Pretty dang good!

As I'm sure you suspected, I'm not going to agree on all points. I will agree that the Coyote is an apex predator. But nature provides for that. And nature did it for hundreds of thousands of years before the European settlers arrived. Nature keeps in balance. It's man, in his infinite wisdom, that's knocks it out of balance. Pedator control is a feel good justification to problem created by man. It's also more of a chest thumping competition. How much skill does one really need to sit behind an electronic call? Coyotes also receive a ton of undeserved blame. There is zero data to support the notion that they are detrimental to fawn production. There is volumns of data that will point to rodents, small furbearers and birds as the main diet resource. Although walk into any doughnut shop on Saturday morning and every biologist in there will tell you different. There are far more fawns lost to farmers cutting hay. And the same goes for the loss of turkey and quail nestings. Skunks, coons, possums, and hogs are far more devastating. Now I will concede that there has been an increase in coyotes over the last few decades. And a couple of things have perpetuated that. One has been the decline in trapping. And that decline is also contributing to the increase in population of the skunks, coons and possums. Other than bobcats and foxes, the coyote is one of the few predators that routinely feed of the smaller furbearer. I probably wouldn't have near the problem I do with it but the vast majority of the carcass are left to rot.
