A couple days ago, I caught Beef boneless round on sale for $2 pound. I invested $8 and got 4 pounds. Rubbed the 2 'roasts' with Head Country Champtionship seasoning and placed them in my model 1400...

I just 'invented' my version of this dish. Darned tasty if I do say so! Begin with tomatoes that are 'just' ripe, not over ripe. Core them and into the hole you create in the top of the tomato, add...

I've known others that do not put okra in their gumbo but to me gumbo is not gumbo without OKRA. Bet you could hardly tell it's in my gumbo, it's cooked down very well. The okra gives gumbo a certain...

An awesome, quick and easy way to have an almost instant shrimp dinner. I truly couldn't make it without my Smokin Tex. I use it year around from everything from making jerky to slow smoking wild hog...

I was looking for a new way to put my ground venison to good use and discovered SMOKED VENISON PIE! AWESOME flavor and simple to prepare. Here's how I did it:

In an open aluminum pan, I placed 2...

I simply saw off small branches from wild plum, pecan or hickory. Make SURE and let them dry before you use them. This takes a month or so.

I'm all about slow cooking large pieces of pork, beef, venison, etc. but.. Sometimes we want a BBQ fix and we want it quick! Last week, I was craving some BBQ. I defrosted several packages of venison...

I've made this with wild hog backstraps. Awesome but it's necessary to wrap it in foil after it smokes to prevent drying out.

I believe you will really enjoy this soup. Make sure and leave the skins on the new potatoes! To make it a bit richer, you can use a little half and half but milk and butter with a little cheese...

If you love good, homemade potato soup, You'll really go for this recipe! Take a couple pounds of new potatoes (small, red potatoes), place them uncovered on foil in your Smokin Tex. Set thermostat...

Don't be confused by the name 'neck bone'! Actually, the neck meat around the bone includes one of the best cuts of pork: the loin!
When I first prepared this dish, I must admit, my wife had her...

I've used my 1400 for several years. I think the door is designed to fit tightly. I just push the door in and push the locking handle down to close it. Seems to be the way they are designed. I trutly...

Some folks will tell you that any wild boar weighing much over 80 pounds is not good table fare. I disagree, at least most of the time. I've used my Smokin Tex on lots of boar weighing upwards of 125...

Luke Clayton here. YES, 8 ounces of wood is just right. Remember, the Smokin Tex is very tight and the smoke penerates the meat realtively quickly, usually within the first 2 or 3 hours. Doni't think...

Let me tell you how I make venison fajitas with my Smokin Tex. I'll put these up against any beef fajitas I've eaten... anywhere!
Begin by slicing venison steak (loin or ham) into finger, fajita...

Have not tried it. To be truthful, the Coke and Soy sauce is a longtime favorite. The acid in the cola blended with the flavor and salt of the soy sauce works great on duck and I've used it on geese...

Outdoors writer Luke Clayton here. When it comes to the preparing wild duck, there are a kazillion opinions. Ever have someone (maybe yourself) say, "duck taste just like liver, can't STAND it!". I...

Luke Clayton here. I've cooked a lot of quail, pheasant and chucker on my 1400 and am anxious to give your cornish hen recipe a try. Don't see why this method wouldn't be good on whole chicken fryers...

I've got a killer way to make venison (or beef) fajitas and Sweet Heat Jalapeno Wine (www.sweetdreamswinery.com) is the key!
Begin by stripping the venison ham steak into fajitas strips. Marinate in...

Sounds good, Tharder but.... at camp or even for a backyard cookout, I like to keep it simple and, simple to me means marinading the meat (duck breast) and slapping it on my Smokin Tex heated to 250...
