I love pulled pork and the first time I heard about the Pulled Pork Parfait, I flipped. Flipped with joy that is. The pulled pork parfait has been popping up at fairs and festivals in the Toronto area and it is always a big hit. It is simple to make and a totally clever idea. To make a pulled pork ...

Any roast that comes from the shoulder of the pig will work great. Some terms and cuts of these roasts are: butt, shoulder, picnic, shoulder blade. A pork roast with any of ... Read More »
I love duck and I am unsure as to why it has taken me this long to smoke one in my Bradley Smoker. I have often thought of smoking a duck ever since I got my Bradley in the spring of 2011, but it wasn’t until this past week that I actually did it. My folks came up to Toronto ... Read More »
My mom and dad came up to visit recently and my dad brought up a bunch of catfish to smoke in the Bradley. I love catfish but I usually eat it blackened or fried. I had never smoked catfish before, so I was eager to give it a go. Catfish is not as oily as salmon or trout but has more ... Read More »
Sometimes I am in the mood for some smoked meat and I want something quick and easy. On those days I go to the supermarket and pick up a few pounds of fresh Italian sausage.

The other day, I was walking in a Walmart and saw that they were selling smoked salmon nuggets in the freezer section. Thinking these would be a great bite size party snack, I immediately bought a whole fillet of salmon to make my ... Read More »
I look for any reason to get my Bradley Smoker going and the other day I created a recipe I knew had to be shared with you. Chicken thighs are amazing in the smoker as they taste amazing and do not dry out like chicken breasts can. Normally I smoke chicken thighs with the bone in, but this recipe is ... Read More »
I am not sure if you remember the Bacon Cheeseburger Fatty I posted last month that I smoked in my Bradley Electric Smoker. It was killer. Seriously. The wonderful thing about a fatty is that they scream for experimentation. A fatty is great if it is basic and just the meat, but there are so many options and you can ... Read More »
I love surprises. But really, who doesn’t. A friend of mine does fly fishing and every once in a while he calls to see if I am home and then comes to drop off one of the fish he caught. So, a few days ago, I received a call and then 30 minutes later I had a fish to clean. ... Read More »
