This was the very first cook on the grill of the Big Easy SRG. It really got HOT! 660°! Might have to try to sear a steak. I dry brined them with salt. It was too much. I will skip this next time. I pulled them and let them sit out an hour before cooking. That should...

My first pulled pork on the BESRG and it was AWESOME! The dry rub that I used had way too many ingredients, so I won’t waste my time posting them. I will search for something more simple next time. Also for this cook I could not have picked a windier day. So the...

First ribs on the Big Easy were awesome! First I peeled the membrane from the backside. (Margo had already cut these in half before I started). I then cut a slit in between the first and second rib for the hanger. Hung them on the basket (meat side towards the...

This was my first cook on the Big Easy SRG. And while it was not perfect, it was AWESOME! Leave the bone in and leave the fat on. Salt heavily and leave in refrigerator for a least a couple of hours. Let it sit out and warm before cooking. At least 2 hours. So after...

We love soups and chili in the winter. We started looking for a soup that was like the Zuppa at Olive Garden. We felt that it needed to be “kicked up a notch” as Emeril would say! So we kept looking until we came upon this spicier version! Margo mixes half...
