bbq videos

Ok, so after months of hibernation, and many questions about our health and well-being, I figured I would send out a message that myself as well as the rest of the Cockeye Team are well and fine.

We've been working, enjoying our kids and very, very busy.

I think we're taking a pass on BBQ competitions for this season, maybe judging one or two, but recooping from baseball, soccer and Boy Scouts has been harder than ever.

We're still smoking though, and I compiled a quick video of my latest efforts, a lean pork loin cured and smoked into Canadian Bacon. It turned out awesome, and I thought I'd share the video and recipe with y'all.

Keep in touch.

Yours in smoke,
Erik Hoover

New FEC-100Well, I always cook a whole mess of food for friends and family on Labor Day weekend, and as luck would have it, my new cooker, the FEC-100 showed up Thursday. Just enough time to fire it up for some pellet-smoked BBQ.

First off, I just love this thing. I had done a bunch of reading online about the pellet poopers, so I had a cursory knowledge of the engineering and mechanics of how they worked. But I was still amazed at just how easy it is to operate and CLEAN. Pour the pellets into the hopper, juice the fire cup with a few to get it started, turn on the switch, dial in the temps and times, and in about 15 minutes you're good to go.
