I'm smoking two rings of Burton's Green Onion Sausage with Guava wood. I normally use Hickory, but I'm betting the Guava chunk will work well too.[p]Ice Cold Beers![p]GrillMeister

    GrillMeister,[p]Waaal, I went to Tom Thumb and they had their CAB ribeye (boneless) on sale for $7.99/lb so I got one of those and 2 bone-in for $5.99 per. Sprinkled the boneless with some Grilla Shaker and did a Trex on it. Came out tender as the day is long, but somewhat devoid of flavor. I am starting to wonder if it is me. Have I had that many good steaks that nothing hits me anymore? I've done Cowlick, Grilla, the old mustard/salt routine..and nada knocks me out. Sigh. Is it hot in here..or is it me?[p]mShark

    GrillMeister,
    I used some guava wood smoke tonight for two marinated pork tenderloins. Tenderloins, the key word here is tender and these melted in the mouth. High on the hog, those tenderloins are!
    Good luck with your onion sausage..Yummm.

    GrillMeister,[p]'Bout ready to pull off the smoked meatloaf from BBQ USA. I usally mix pork or beef with turkey, but tonight straight beef. I used a combo of oak and apple for smoke. I also used Emeril's BBQ sauce for the first time. I just didn't have time to make my own. I hope it is good. Also potato slices as a side.[p]Steve-B

    <p />Ahhh, smoked at 250 for 1 hour on a grid extender with one chunk of Guava. The Guava added a subtle flavor to the wonderful flavor of this green onion sausage from Burton Sausage. This combination rocks!

    Nature Boy,
    Hmmm, I'll try not to sound like a wine tasting ; ) but...
    It's lightly smokey, and a bit fruity. I've been pretty sold lately on pecan for poultry, and the Guava is similarly light and sweet, and a little, well, fruitier. Only had the stuff a week, so I'm still experimenting....[p]

    Mollyshark,[p]My latest TRex was a NY Strip with Dizzy Pig Cowlick and Garlic Salt. It was one of the best I've done in a while. Hmmmm Good.

    Mollyshark,[p]Since Nature Boy doesn't put any salt in Cowlick, the Garlic salt gives a nice balance to the pepperyness of the Cowlick. It's a combination I'm gonna use again. I used McCormicks Garlic salt with the parsley flakes in it.

    Mollyshark,[p]Maybve it is time to mix it up a bit and try a different meat - Get yourself a dry aged ribeye or a dry aged NY strip - It REALLY adds a whole new dimension to the taste! I have had several good ones from different place - most recently nimanranch.com.

    Eggecutioner,[p]That google option is pretty cool, eh? BTW, you can call in your order of sausage & ribs and it will be ready when you get there. If I were you, I might wait till, say you were 100 miles out though. LOL
