To honor my father, I smoked cajun crackers and pistachios for a 'celebration of life' after his memorial service yesterday. I hate that I didn't get pictures, but I didn't get the idea to mimic one of his posts until this morning.
As many of you know, these simple smokes are a huge hit with all friends and family. I'm going to try my best to get more adventurous and add meats, etc. to my smoking repertoire.
While I will never be close to as good as my dad, I want to give it a good shot to carry on his legacy of providing damn-good comfort food on a regular basis. Stay tuned.

There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it. Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.
Jason,

Jason, I was very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing, and am thrilled to see you're keeping his blog going!
ReplyDeleteYour Dad's smoked Cajun crackers were awesome! I remember him bringing them (and other goodies) to the Ohio Gatherings we had for the Let's Talk BBQ forum.
