@utee94 ,got a good recipe for 'nanner pudding? I seem to recall you once saying that it was an appropriate dessert for a meal of smoked brisket, cornbread, and mac and cheese.

Some friends of ours are having a dinner with that as the main course after the new year.

Oh yeah, nanner pudding is probably THE classic dessert for Texas BBQ.

You find it all over the South, but our version is served chilled rather than warm, it'll have whipped cream either on top of folded into the mix (rather than merinque on top like in other parts of the South), and it'll have Nilla wafers around the top, or even layered into the dish.

My mom makes the version that we used at our BBQ restaurant so I can check with her, I just realized as I answered you that I've never made it myself.

Weber SmokeFire pellet grill can sear steaks AND smoke or slow cook brisket

Weber’s latest addition to the barbecue arena could be a meat-lovin' game-changer

I've had food cooked on pellet smokers.  It's ok.  I still think the offset is better.  But it's certainly not as convenient.

Was picking up some duck breast today when I came across some pork cheeks.   Ooh, I say.  Yes, I'll have some of that.   I haven't braised them myself in some time.  Still my favorite bite of pork.  Another great reason to go to pig roasts.  Nobody is coming for the cheeks.

Cheeks are tasty mmmm hmmmm.

Maybe the absolute best bite of BBQ I've ever had, was the smoked beef cheek at a local restaurant called Leroy and Lewis. I've never done them myself but it's on the list.

For beef I pretty much always go with post oak. Its smoke is heavy and flavorful and beef holds up well to it.

For pork and fowl, I like hickory/pecan.  It's a lighter, sweeter smoke that works well with the more delicate flavors of the pork and bird.  Fruit woods like apple and cherry are also great for pork and fowl.

A lot of people like mesquite, but I stay away from it for smoking.  Its flavor is stronger, more intense than oak, and it can overpower even beef.  It also tends to burn hotter and faster, and since I use exclusively an offset stick-burning rig, that means it requires a lot more tending.

I do however like mesquite for direct grilling, I burn the sticks down to coals and then cook steaks or burgers or whatever over it.  Also, some of the best BBQ I've ever had was cabrito that we BBQ'd in large trenches dug out, where we shoveled the mesquite coals in under the goats on spits.  That was some unbelievable Q.

Don't know anything about the golfing, but you should definitely check out Leroy and Lewis if you get the chance.  Their brisket is excellent as well, but those smoked beef cheeks are The Truth.

I will say however, they're so rich that a little goes a long way.  If I'd normally polish off 1/3-1/2 lb of brisket, I might only eat 1/4 lb or less of the cheeks.  But they're so tasty.

So I got a sous vide apparatus for Christmas. I have not had the chance to try it yet, but probably next (not this) weekend.

Was thinking of doing double-cut bone-in pork chops. Anyone have any advice on how long to cook and at what temp? I'll probably serve it with an apple/jalapeno reduction sauce and grilled sweet potato planks.
