Barbecued Sweet Potato Pie
Yes, you read that right, it's a barbecued sweet potato pie. The pie is very rich with a subtle smokey flavor.
I am a Christian, a husband, the father of three girls (11, 10 and 7), and an amateur cook living in Boise Idaho. I've been competing in barbeque competitions since 2006 under the name "Patio Daddio BBQ", thus my blog name.
The PBC is not a UDS. I've built two UDS's and I use them in competition. The food hangs in the PBC. It's not a smoker, and it's not a grill. I've been using the PBC a lot lately, and I haven't used my UDS since I got it. ;-)
Thanks so much for the mention, it's greatly appreciated.
WARNING: This stuff is seriously addicting. ;-)
I barbecue sweet potatoes, which adds a great twist. Give it a try.
Yes, the cubes are much easier, more effective and more convenient than the paper method.

Here is a glaze recipe that worked well for me. Just skip the molasses-making ingredients and steps.

Got a grill? That's the ONLY way to go.

Half ketchup and half chili sauce (both Heinz, of course) makes a great sauce base. I'm a competitive BBQ cook and that is what I use. The judges like smooth sauces, so I hit mine with a stick blender.
Another way to get a subtle smokiness sans liquid smoke is to add some smoked paprika. Just make sure it's the real deal and fresh.

Check your local Sears and other appliance stores for "scratch & dent" models. Sears usually has killer deals on S&D.

Thick, subtly smoky, and earthy, with a little bit of sweet and just enough heat. It's especially good on grilled and roasted meats.
Here is a quick and easy snack that has that familiar sweet, salty, smoky, and subtly spicy flavor of BBQ potato chips.
Anaheim peppers stuffed with a combination of ground turkey and spicy pork sausage, wrapped in bacon, smoked, then glazed.
Here is a simple but elegant summer dessert.
Cedar Plank Copper River Salmon - This is real deal wild Alaskan salmon and, yes, it lives up to the considerable hype.
What better to way to celebrate National BBQ Month than with some sangria? It's fruity, refreshing and festive.
The 'diablo' in the name is Spanish for 'devil', so you might think this is a salsa that is so hot that it will give your mouth second-degree burns. In reality, it's fairly mild and subtly smoky, with just a hint of heat.
This is for those of you who need or want a great basic all-around barbeque seasoning (or "rub"). This is also a great base recipe for creating your own signature seasoning.

As for flare-ups, there are none. The airflow is pre-set to prevent them.
