No pictures, but someone is frying some fresh codsheads as I type, for my supper.... yum yum.

I'll probably post some pictures when I get home and fry my own.

BTW it was all caught by myself yesterday.

The Superstore on barrington has been selling racks of beef ribs now for the past month or more. Trouble is they are usually trimmed down way too much. When i bought this rack yesterday there was about 6 or 7 racks out and this was the only good one so it's hit and miss. I cooked them for around ~ 4.5 hrs at 225 F indirect. They are really good if you can find a rack with some meat left on them . I think the Store House in the Hydrostone sells them too, maybe call ahead and order a rack from them :cheers2:

I smoked a Pork Tenderloin for some house guests on Saturday night and they couldn't believe how tasty and moist it was. I put it in a salt brine with apple juice for a few hours, put on a homemade dry rub, and then draped it with bacon. I smoked it on applewood and the taste was immense and delicious. It's amazing how much more flavour you get when smoking compared to grilling.

Grilled potatoes from the garden, grilled zucchini from the garden, and grilled beef tenderloin from my next door neighbour's beef farm where his cattle is raised on spent beer grains. A simple and completely local meal that was amazingly delicious!

Hey Leavfsman, curious about the maple plank, did you notice a stronger smoke smell than just throwing in chunks of maple? I've used cedar planks before with great results but thought the maple plank would not impart more smoke... thoughts..?

This was planked on Cedar .. ran out of maple. The pepper was maple flavoured from Acadian Maple. I have used maple planks in the past and have had great results - just not as strong a taste as with cedar.

Those pics really washed out. Bought a couple small rib roasts at SS and cut them in half. Really good if you can find them with good marbling, per usual.
