BBQ Pork Tenderloins

BBQ Pork Tenderloins

This BBQ Pork Tenderloin is loaded with flavor and stays incredibly juicy thanks to a simple apple juice brine and a two-zone grilling method. Finished with a sweet, sticky glaze over the coals, it’s just as good sliced thick for dinner as it is piled onto slider buns with slaw.

Description

ender, juicy, and finished with a sticky BBQ glaze, this BBQ Pork Tenderloin is proof that pork doesn’t have to be dry. A simple apple juice brine and two-zone fire deliver incredible flavor from edge to edge.


Ingredients

  • 4 pork tenderloins (about 4 to 6 lbs total)
  • ½ bottle Malcom’s Bird Brine
  • ¼ cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub
  • 64 oz apple juice
  • Killer Hogs Hot Rub, as needed
  • ¾ cup Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce
  • ¼ cup Gulf Coast Smoke Cherry Pineapple Glaze

Instructions

  1. Brine the Pork
    1. In a large food-safe container, combine Malcom’s Bird Brine, Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub, and apple juice. Stir until dissolved.
    2. Add the pork tenderloins and make sure they are completely submerged. Refrigerate for 4 hours.
  2. Season & Fire the Grill
    1. Remove the tenderloins from the brine and pat dry with paper towels.
    2. Season all sides generously with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
    3. Prepare a two-zone fire and stabilize the grill at 300°F.
  3. Cook the Tenderloins
    1. Place the tenderloins on the indirect side of the grill and cook until they reach an internal temperature of 130-135°F, about 30 minutes.
  4. Glaze & Finish
    1. In a small bowl, combine Killer Hogs The BBQ Sauce and Gulf Coast Smoke Cherry Pineapple Glaze.
    2. Move the tenderloins directly over the hot coals. Brush with the glaze and continue cooking, turning and glazing every couple of minutes to develop color and char.
    3. Cook until the thickest part of each tenderloin reaches 145°F internal temperature.
  5. Rest & Serve
    1. Remove from the grill and rest for 10 minutes.
    2. Slice into medallions and serve warm.

Notes

  • The apple juice replaces the water in the brine and adds a subtle sweetness to the pork.
  • Brining helps the tenderloins retain moisture and stay juicy throughout the cook.
  • A two-zone fire allows the pork to cook evenly before finishing with a hot sear over the coals.

Coppa Cut Pork Chops

Coppa Cut Pork Chops

Coppa pork chops are cut from the “money muscle” end of the pork butt, giving them extra marbling and a richer, juicier bite than your average pork chop. They’re cooked over a two-zone fire, finished hot to build a little char, then coated in a sweet peach chipotle glaze that turns sticky on the outside while locking in that fire-grilled flavor.

Coppa Cut Pork Chops


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

These Coppa Pork Chops are grilled over a two-zone fire until perfectly juicy, then finished with a sweet and smoky peach chipotle glaze. The combination of rich, marbled pork, light char from the grill, and sticky sweet heat sauce makes these chops packed with bold backyard barbecue flavor.


Ingredients

  • Coppa cut pork chops (about 1.5 inches thick)
  • Killer Hogs Hot Rub
  • 1/2 cup Heath Riles BBQ Hot Peach Glaze
  • 12 Tablespoons chipotle sauce (based on your heat level – you can even add more for more heat)

Instructions

  1. SEASON THE CHOPS
    – Coat each coppa chop evenly with Killer Hogs Hot Rub on all sides.
    – Let them sit at room temp and sweat while the grill comes up to temperature.
  2. FIRE UP THE GRILL
    – Set up your charcoal grill or drum smoker for a two-zone fire:
    – Indirect side running around 275°F Direct side for searing (you’ll bring this up later)
  3. COOK INDIRECT
    – Place the chops on the indirect side of the grill.
    – Close the lid and cook at 275°F until they reach about 130°F internal. This usually takes around 30-45 minutes, depending on your fire.
  4. MAKE THE GLAZE
    – In a small bowl, mix:
    – 1/2 cup Hot Peach Glaze
    – 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce
    – Set aside for finishing.
  5. REST THE CHOPS AND STOKE THE FIRE
    – When the chops hit around 130°F internal, pull them off the indirect side and set them aside to rest for a few minutes while you open up the grill and get the fire or direct side up to 500-500 degrees.
  6. SEAR AND GLAZE
    – Place the chops back over the hottest part of the grill.
    – Brush on a light coat of glaze. Flip after about a minute. Glaze again. Keep flipping and glazing every minute or so.
    – Repeat until the glaze caramelizes and sets on the outside.
    – Cook until the internal temperature reaches 140°F, then pull the chops off.
    – Rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

This is all about controlling the internal temp so you can render the fat without drying them out, then finishing hot to build color and set the glaze.

Smoked Meatloaf with Beef & Pork

Classic Meatloaf with Beef and Pork

This is a classic meatloaf, just done right. The mix of beef and pork keeps it tender and juicy, and the smoke adds a layer of flavor you don’t get from the oven. It’s a straightforward recipe that delivers every time.

Smoked Meatloaf with Beef & Pork


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

This meatloaf stays tender, juicy, and full of flavor thanks to a beef and pork blend and a steady cook. Finished with a rich glaze, it’s a dependable recipe that delivers every time.


Ingredients

  • 1lb ground beef 90/10
  • 1lb ground pork
  • 2 eggs – lightly beaten
  • 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 medium onion finely diced
  • 4 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
  • 1 Tablespoon Malcom’s Italian Stallion Seasoning

Classic Meatloaf Glaze:

  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • pinch white pepper
  • pinch cayenne pepper
  • pinch paprika

Instructions

  1. Combine the ground beef, ground pork, eggs, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and parsley by hand. Add the ketchup, worcestershire and seasonings and mix thoroughly.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and form the meat mixture into a loaf shape.
  3. Cook the meatloaf at 350°F using pecan pellets for 35 minutes – you can cook it in the oven if you prefer.
  4. Combine the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and brush over the top of the meatloaf. Continue to cook for an additional 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove the meatloaf from the grill and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix – Mix just until combined. Overmixing makes the meatloaf dense instead of tender.
  • Pan vs free-form – Pan = softer, classic texture. Free-form = more surface area and better glaze.
  • Cook to temp – Cook to 160°F internal, not by time, for a juicy, properly set loaf.
  • Rest before slicing – Rest 10–15 minutes so it holds together and slices clean.

This is one of those recipes that proves simple still works best. The beef and pork keep it tender, the glaze finishes it right, and it’s the kind of meal people come back for. Run it once and it’ll earn a spot in your rotation.

Smoked Picanha

Smoked Picanha

There’s a lot of ways to cook picanha, but this one is hard to beat. The reverse sear gives you control over the doneness and lets you finish with a real crust. You end up with a juicy, even cook and a crust that gives you everything you want out of a steak.

Reverse-Seared Picanha

Smoked Picanha


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

Reverse-seared picanha cooked low for even doneness, then finished hot for a perfect crust. Simple method that delivers steakhouse-level results.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole picanha (top sirloin cap)
  • Swine Life Prime Beef Rub
  • Killer Hogs Steak Rub

Instructions

  1. SEASON
    1. Light coat of Swine Life Prime Beef.
    2. Follow with a layer of Killer Hogs Steak Rub.
    3. Let sit at room temp 30–45 minutes while the grill comes up to temp.
  2. SET UP THE GRILL
    1. Indirect cooking setup (drum cooker or any grill works).
    2. Stabilize temperature at 275°F.
  3. COOK (INDIRECT PHASE)
    1. Place picanha on the pit.
    2. Cook until internal temp hits 128–130°F
    3. Usually about 1.5 hours, but go by internal temp, not time.
  4. REST + CONTROL CARRYOVER (CRITICAL STEP)
    1. Pull around 128–130°F and leave the probe in.
    2. Let the internal temp rise during the rest. Once it peaks and starts coming back down, go in for the sear.
    3. Open the vents on your pit, open the lid and let the fire get hot.
  5. SEAR (HOT & FAST)
    1. Place picanha back onto pit – directly over high heat.
    2. Flip every minute.
    3. Sear for 3–5 minutes total until a crust forms.
  6. REST, SLICE, SERVE
    1. Let it rest briefly and slice against the grain.

Notes

This method is all about controlling the internal temperature so you don’t overcook the picanha during the sear.

By bringing it up slowly over indirect heat, you get even doneness all the way through. When you pull it and let it rest, the internal temp will continue to rise, then eventually peak and start to fall. That’s your window.

Once it starts coming back down, the meat has stopped actively cooking, so you can hit it with high heat to build a crust without pushing it past medium-rare.

Once you run a Picanha this way, it’s hard to go back to anything else. You get full control over the doneness and a finish that eats the way it should. It’s a simple method, but it delivers every time.

WHITE SAUCE CHICKEN THIGHS

WHITE SAUCE CHICKEN THIGHS

These White Sauce Chicken Thighs are one of those cooks that just works every time. Crispy, well-seasoned chicken thighs get dunked in a tangy White Sauce that gives you a flavor you don’t get from traditional BBQ sauce. It’s simple to cook, but the flavor is anything but.

White Sauce Chicken Thighs


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

Hot and fast chicken thighs finished in a tangy white sauce. The skin cooks up bite-through while the sauce adds a bold, creamy kick. Simple method, big flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1214 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
  • Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
  • Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub
  • Killer Hogs Mississippi White Sauce

Instructions

  1. Trim the chicken
    1. Remove any large pockets of fat, especially along the sides
    2. Square the thighs up so they cook evenly
    3. Don’t over-trim, you still need that fat to render
  2. Season
    1. Light coat of Killer Hogs AP Seasoning on both sides
    2. Follow with Killer Hogs The BBQ Rub for color and flavor
    3. Let them sit at room temp while the pit comes up
  3. Cook
    1. Set the pellet grill at 400°F
    2. Place thighs skin-side up and cook 45 minutes to 1 hour
    3. Internal temp needs to be at least 175, but I like to take mine to the 195 range.
  4. Sauce + Finish
    1. Pull the chicken straight off the pit
    2. Dunk each thigh fully in Killer Hogs Mississippi White Sauce and let the excess drip off briefly. Serve immediately

Notes

The skin stays bite-through with just enough crisp and the inside is rich and fully rendered, not greasy. The white sauce hits with tangy, creamy contrast against the BBQ rub… and yeah, it’s messy, a little unconventional but it always gets attention.

Not the prettiest plate you’ll ever put out, but once you taste it, that won’t matter. That tangy white sauce over well-cooked chicken just works. It’s different than your usual BBQ, and that’s exactly why it’s worth cooking.

Description

Flanken beef ribs cooked hot and fast right over the fire with a Greek-style marinade and a butter baste the whole way. You get a real good char on the outside with rich, beefy flavor and juicy bites all the way through.


Ingredients

Marinade Recipe

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp Malcom’s Gyro Hero Greek Seasoning
  • 3/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

Butter Baste Recipe


Instructions

  1. Season the ribs
    – Season flanken ribs evenly on all sides with light coat of AP Seasoning and then medium coat of Gyro Hero Greek seasoning.
  2. Marinade and soak
    – Whisk together parsley, lemon juice, honey, garlic, Greek seasoning, red wine vinegar, and olive oil until combined.
    – Add ribs and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours, preferably overnight.
  3. Prepare the grill and butter baste
    – Set up a charcoal grill with a two-zone fire (hot direct side and cooler indirect side).
    – Melt butter and stir in Greek seasoning, lemon juice, and parsley. Keep warm for basting.
  4. Cook over direct heat (burn & turn)
    – Remove ribs from marinade and place directly over hot coals in batches.
    – Cook about 2 minutes per side, flipping often.
    – Baste with butter between flips and allow flare-ups to hit the meat.
    – Continue turning until the ribs develop deep caramelization with light char on the edges.
  5. Move to indirect heat
    – As each batch finishes, move ribs to the cool side of the grill, stacking loosely while remaining ribs cook.
  6. Finish and serve
    – Once all ribs are on the indirect side, close the lid and cook for about 5 minutes.
    – Remove from grill and serve immediately with a light squeeze of lemon and optional fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Burn and Turn matters – Stay with the ribs the whole time. Flip them often and don’t let them sit too long on one side or they’ll burn instead of building good char.
  • Don’t skip the marinade time – Give the ribs at least a few hours, but overnight is best. That’s what helps tenderize the meat and get that Greek flavor all the way through.
  • Butter baste is the key – Baste with butter every time you flip. It builds flavor, helps the ribs caramelize, and keeps them from drying out over the fire.
  • Expect flare-ups – Cooking directly over the coals will cause flare-ups. That’s what you want. Just keep turning the ribs so they get flame-kissed and don’t burn.

Next time you’re cooking over a hot fire, this is a good one to throw on the grill. Stay on them, keep flipping, and let the flames do their thing. That’s how you get that good char and flavor in every bite.

Cajun Smoked Turkey on a Stick Burner

Cajun Smoked Turkey

I fired up my stick burner for this one — real wood, real smoke, and a Cajun kick that just works on turkey. This recipe’s got a bunch of solid tips for cooking a juicy bird, no matter what flavors you like to use. If you’re after that true smoked turkey look and taste, this is how you do it.

Cajun Smoked Turkey


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

Simple Cajun smoked turkey cooked over real wood and charcoal — full of smoke, spice, and tips for a juicy bird every time.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole turkey, thawed
  • 1 bottle Malcom’s Bird Brine
  • 1 bottle Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning
  • Meat Bag (optional)
  • Water (enough to completely submerge turkey)
  • 1 stick butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 1 head garlic, smashed
  • Cooking spray or oil (for coating the skin)
  • Chicken Rack (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brine the Bird
    1. Start with a completely thawed turkey. In a large Meat Bag or food-safe container, mix Malcom’s Bird Brine with 1 gallon of water. (For turkeys 12-14lbs or less, use 1/2 bottle. For turkeys over 14lbs, use entire bottle).
    2. Submerge the turkey and add more water as needed to cover it completely. Tie the bag up tight and refrigerate for 24 hours.
    3. Brining helps the meat stay juicy and pull flavor deep inside — it’s one step you don’t want to skip.
  2. Prep the Turkey
    1. After at least 24 hours, remove the turkey from the brine and pat it completely dry with paper towels.
    2. Stuff the cavity with celery, onion, and garlic.
    3. Tuck the wings and tie the legs so everything cooks evenly and the tips don’t burn.
  3. Make the Injection (optional)
    1. Mix 1 stick of butter, 1 cup chicken broth and about 2 tablespoons Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning.
    2. Stir to combine. Inject the mixture into the breast, thighs, and wings, distributing evenly. Season the Skin
    3. Spray or rub the outside of the turkey with cooking spray or oil — this helps crisp the skin and gives the seasoning something to stick to.
    4. Generously coat the bird with Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning (or your fave turkey seasoning).
  4. Smoke the Turkey
    1. Fire up your smoker for indirect cooking and add your favorite wood (hickory and pecan work great). Run the pit around 275°F. Place the turkey on the smoker breast side up.
  5. Protect the Turkey
    1. When the skin has the color you want — that deep golden-brown Cajun look — spray the outside again with cooking spray and loosely tent with foil to prevent over-darkening.
    2. Continue cooking until the breast hits 160°F internal and the dark meat reaches about 175°F.
  6. Rest and Serve
    1. Remove the turkey from the pit and let it rest for at least 20-30 minutes before carving. This lets the juices redistribute and keeps the meat tender.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the dry step. The drier the skin, the better it browns and crisps up.
  • Use a meat thermometer. It’s the only way to nail that perfect doneness.
  • Color control: On a stick burner, smoke runs heavy — so tent the turkey once the color looks good. You want mahogany, not black.
  • Flavor variations: Swap Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning for your favorite turkey seasoning — classic poultry blends, garlic and herb, or a buttery savory rub all work great with this same process.

Every turkey cooks a little different, but if you take your time and let the smoke do the work, you’ll end up with one you’re proud to carve. That’s the kind of bird everyone remembers.

Smoked Turkey

Smoked Turkey

Juicy Meat & Crispy Skin Every Time

This smoked turkey is all about big flavor and perfect texture — juicy meat with crispy, bite-through skin. The secret isn’t complicated: a simple brine, a good dry, and steady heat on the pit.

Once the bird soaks up that flavor, I let the skin dry out, season it from top to bottom, and smoke it low and slow over pecan wood. The result is golden skin that crackles when you slice and meat so tender it practically drips juice.

Serve it hot off the board for Thanksgiving dinner and show off what a real smoked turkey should taste like.

Description

Juicy, smoky, and crisped to perfection — this smoked turkey is everything a holiday bird should be. Tender, flavorful, and kissed with just the right amount of smoke — it’s turkey done right.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole turkey (1218 lbs), thawed
  • HowToBBQRight Ultimate Brine Kit
    • OR
      • 1 bottle Malcom’s Bird Brine
      • 1 bottle Killer Hogs AP Seasoning
      • 1 bottle Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning
      • Meat Bag
  • Water (enough to completely submerge turkey)
  • 1 stalk celery, cut into chunks
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 1 apple, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • Cooking spray or oil (for coating the skin)
  • Chicken Rack (optional)

Instructions

  1. Brine the Turkey
    1. Mix one bottle of Bird Brine with 1 gallon of water until dissolved. Place the turkey in a large brining bag or container and pour the brine mixture over the bird. Add enough cold water to completely submerge.
    2. Seal the bag (or cover the container) and refrigerate for 24 hours. For larger turkeys (over 16 lbs), brine up to 48 hours.
  2. Dry and Prep
    1. Remove the turkey from the brine and discard the liquid. Pat the skin completely dry with paper towels—this is key to getting crispy skin.
  3. Stuff the Cavity
    1. Place the celery, onion, apple and garlic (use whatever aromatics you like) inside the cavity.
    2. Tie the legs together and tuck the wing tips underneath so the turkey cooks evenly.
  4. Oil and Season
    1. Lightly coat the entire surface of the turkey with cooking spray or oil.
    2. Season the backside first with a medium coat of Killer Hogs AP Seasoning, followed by a medium coat of Malcom’s King Craw Cajun Seasoning.
    3. Flip the turkey onto a rack and repeat on the top side with the same layers of seasoning.
  5. Smoke the Turkey
    1. Preheat your smoker or grill to 275°F using pecan pellets (or your preferred wood).
    2. Place the turkey on the pit, centered for even airflow, and cook until the internal temperature in the deepest part of the breast reaches 160°F.
  6. Rest and Serve
    1. Remove the turkey from the smoker and rest for 20 minutes. The internal temperature will carry over to about 165°F in the breast and 175°F in the dark meat.

 

That’s how you smoke a turkey that comes out juicy every single time — with golden, crispy skin and that rich, smoky flavor you can only get from cooking it low and slow. Keep it simple, trust the process, and you’ll carve into the best turkey you’ve ever put on the table.

Hot Honey Pork Belly

Hot Honey Pork Belly

Smoked Hot Honey Pork Belly is the ultimate combo of rich smoke, sweet heat, and sticky glaze. I start with thick-cut slabs of pork belly, smoke them low and slow at 275°F, then finish with a buttery hot honey-vinegar BBQ glaze that caramelizes perfectly.

The result? Tender, glossy bites that melt in your mouth. Great for appetizers, tailgates, or any time you want bold BBQ flavor straight from the pit.

Hot Honey Pork Belly


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

Smoked pork belly finished with a buttery hot-honey glaze – sweet heat, rich smoke, snack-worthy flavor.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole pork belly (45 lbs total), split into two smaller slabs
  • Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub, for coating the pork belly
  • 1 stick (½ cup) unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup hot honey
  • ½ cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce

Instructions

Pit Temp: 275°F indirect
Final Internal Temp: 202°F

  1. Prep the Pork Belly
    Trim any thin edges or loose fat so both slabs cook evenly. Split the pork belly in half for easier handling and appetizer-sized portions.
  2. Season
    Apply a generous coat of Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub to all sides — top, bottom, and edges. Pat the rub in gently so it sticks.
  3. Fire Up the Grill
    Set your pit to cook at 275°F. – For charcoal, build a two-zone fire (coals on one side, cool zone on the other). – For pellet grills, hold a steady 275°F. Cook the pork belly on the indirect side of the pit.
  4. Smoke
    Place both slabs on the cool side of the grill. Let them cook about 1½ hours until the surface turns a deep mahogany color.
  5. Check Internal Temperature
    Continue cooking until the pork belly reaches 202°F internal. At that point, the fat will be fully rendered and the meat tender and jiggly.
  6. Make the Hot Honey Glaze
    In a small saucepan or foil pan, combine: – 1 stick butter – ¼ cup hot honey – ½ cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce Warm until smooth
  7. Glaze and Finish
    Place each slab in a small foil “boat” to catch drips. Brush on a heavy coat of the hot honey glaze every 20–30 minutes until it caramelizes into a sticky layer. (Optional: a light dusting of rub over the glaze at the very end can deepen the bark, but it’s not required.)
  8. Rest and Slice
    Let the pork belly rest 10–15 minutes before slicing so it holds together. Cut into thick slices or bite-size cubes and serve right off the board.

That’s it — pork belly turned into a show-stopper: slow smoked until the fat’s silky, then glazed with sticky hot honey and butter for sweet-heat perfection. Slice it, serve it, and watch it disappear.

Smoked Tomahawk Ribeye on the Pellet Grill

This 3-pound tomahawk ribeye went straight on the pellet grill—no reverse sear, no cast iron finish. Just steady smoke and low heat all the way through.

    Let the steak sit out while you fire up your pellet grill to 250°F. This gives the seasonings time to melt in and lets the steak come up to room temperature before cooking.
  4. Smoke the Tomahawk
    Place the steak on the pellet grill and insert a probe thermometer into the thickest part.
    Set your first target internal temp to 120°F.
    Once it hits 120, reset your probe to 128°F and monitor closely.
  5. Rest with Butter
    Place pats of butter and a light sprinkle of Steak Rub on a platter.
    Remove the steak from the grill at 128°F and place it directly on butter.
    Tent loosely with foil and rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Slice & Serve
    Remove the steak from the bone, then slice across the grain. The melted butter and drippings combine to make a rich, flavorful sauce—spoon that over the slices before serving.

That’s how you nail a tomahawk on the pellet grill—low heat, good smoke, and plenty of patience. Slice it up, drizzle that buttery rest over the top, and you’ve got steakhouse flavor right in your backyard.

White Sauce Wings


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

Slow-smoked wings get seared for crispy skin, then tossed in a tang-forward Mississippi white BBQ sauce—juicy, smoky, and done right.


Ingredients

  • 1 family pack whole chicken wings (about 1214 whole wings)
  • Spicy ranch seasoning (generous coating)
  • Killer Hogs AP Seasoning (generous coating)
  • Killer Hogs Mississippi White Sauce (or your favorite white BBQ sauce)

Instructions

  1. Season the Wings
    1. Trim and separate wings if desired, or leave them whole.
    2. Season all sides generously with spicy ranch seasoning and AP seasoning. Let them sit while you fire up the grill.
  2. Set Up the Grill
    1. Prepare a 2-zone fire on your grill (one side hot, one side cool).
    2. Target grill temperature: 375–400°F.
    3. Pellet grill works too — just hold temps steady in that same range.
  3. Smoke the Wings
    1. Place seasoned wings on the cool side of the grill.
    2. Close the lid and cook about 30 minutes.
    3. Flip the wings and cook another 15–20 minutes, until they reach 180–185°F internal.
  4. Crisp Over the Hot Zone
    1. Working in batches, move wings directly over the hot side of the grill.
    2. Sear for 2–3 minutes per side until skin is golden and lightly charred.
    3. Use the cool side as a holding zone if wings start cooking too fast.
    4. Final target internal temp: 195°F — this ensures fat is rendered and the meat pulls clean from the bone.
  5. Sauce & Serve
    1. Remove wings from the grill and toss in Killer Hogs Mississippi White Sauce (or your favorite tangy white BBQ sauce).
    2. Serve hot and enjoy with extra sauce on the side.

Here’s the deal—bone-in wings get a liberal rub of spicy ranch and AP seasoning, then they smoke low and slow on the cool side of your grill until they hit about 180–185°F. Next stop: the hot zone, where I give them a quick sear until the skin’s golden and laced with char. Final move? Dunk ’em in that killer Mississippi White Sauce—tangy, creamy, and absolutely mouthwatering. These wings—smoky, juicy, and loaded with tangy white BBQ flavor—hit different.

Honey Balsamic Salmon on the Pellet Grill

Honey Balsamic Salmon on the Pellet Grill


5 Stars 4 Stars 3 Stars 2 Stars 1 Star

No reviews

Description

This honey-balsamic salmon gets seared on a blazing hot grill for a perfect crust, then finished with a tangy-sweet glaze that caramelizes beautifully in just minutes.


Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (6-8oz fillets)
  • Olive oil
  • King Craw Seasoning (or your favorite Cajun-style blend)

For the Honey Balsamic Glaze:

  • 2 green onions (separate the whites and the greens), thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Salt & black pepper to taste (I used TX Brisket Rub)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your pellet grill to 400°F.
    You want those high temps to help build a crust and lock in the moisture.
  2. Prep the salmon:
    Lightly oil each fillet and season generously with King Craw seasoning on tops and sides. Let it sit while the grill heats up.
  3. Make the glaze:
    In a small saucepan, sauté the green onion whites and garlic in a little oil until softened (1–2 minutes). Add the balsamic, honey, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer until slightly reduced and syrupy — about 5–7 minutes. Set aside.
  4. Grill the salmon:
    Place the fillets directly on the grates. Cook for about 13 minutes, or until the internal temp hits 125°F. The outside should have a nice crust at this point.
  5. Glaze it:
    Brush the salmon with the honey balsamic glaze and let it cook another 1–2 minutes until the glaze sets and your salmon reaches 135°F internal.
  6. Serve it up:
    Pull it off the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Pairs great with roasted veggies, rice, or even a fresh salad.

Oil up salmon fillets, season them heavy with King Craw—or your favorite Cajun rub—then throw them on a 400°F pellet or hot grill to build that craveable crust. While the salmon’s cooking, whisk together green onion, garlic, balsamic vinegar, honey, salt & pepper until it reduces into a syrupy glaze. Brush it on during the last couple of minutes so it caramelizes and locks in that sweet-tangy shine. Juicy, quick, and restaurant-worthy in just 15 minutes.

Description

This Big Dill Smash Burger is my take on Sonic’s classic—crispy-edged beef patties, plenty of pickle flavor, and a tangy Dilly Ranch mayo that brings it all together.


Ingredients

For the Smash Burgers:

  • 2 lbs 80/20 ground beef (roll into 3oz balls)
  • Killer Hogs Steak Rub (or your favorite burger seasoning)
  • Slices of American cheese
  • Grilling oil
  • Hamburger buns
  • Shredded lettuce
  • Thick-cut dill pickles (we used Grillo’s Classic Dill Pickle Chips)
  • Fried pickle chips (we used Fresh Gourmet Crispy Dillies)

For the Dilly Ranch Mayo:

  • 1 cup Blue Plate mayo
  • 3 tsp Ranch seasoning (about ½ a packet)
  • 12 tsp fresh chopped dill
  • 2 Tbsp dill pickle juice (from the pickle chip jar)

Instructions

  1. Make the Dilly Ranch Mayo
    1. Mix mayo, Ranch seasoning, fresh dill, and pickle juice in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and let chill in the fridge for a few hours to let the flavors come together.
  2. Prep the Beef
    1. Form the ground beef into 3oz balls. Don’t pack them tight—keep them loose for a better smash.
  3. Smash and Sear
    1. Heat a flat-top griddle or cast iron over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the surface.
    2. Place the beef balls on the hot griddle and let them sit for about 1 minute—just long enough to form a light crust.
    3. Flip the balls over and smash them hard with a spatula or burger press.
    4. Season with Killer Hogs Steak Rub.
    5. Cook for 2–3 minutes, then flip again.
    6. Season the other side, add a slice of American cheese, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the cheese is fully melted.
  4. Build the Stack
    1. Stack two patties for each burger.
  5. Toast the Buns
    1. Place your buns cut-side-down on the griddle for about 30 seconds until toasted and golden.
  6. Assemble the Burger
    1. Bottom bun → double smash patties – Top with fried pickle chips – Add shredded lettuce and thick-cut pickles – Spread Dilly Ranch Mayo on the top bun – Close it up and serve

This Big Dill Smash Burger recipe is my take on the Sonic favorite—seasoned ground beef smashed on a hot griddle until the edges get crispy, then layered with melted cheese, tangy pickles, and a homemade dill ranch mayo. It’s the ultimate copycat Sonic smash burger, loaded with bold pickle flavor and perfect for anyone who loves a juicy grilled burger with a twist.

Open Fire Tri Tip

Open Fire Tri Tip

I’m not trimming… I want to keep all the fat on this Tri Tip for flavor. Smother it in TX Brisket Rub (or classic salt & pepper), drop it straight over glowing coals on a Santa Maria grill—press it into the grate to carve a deep sear. Flip every few minutes. Then lift it to indirect heat until the probe reads 125–130°F. Twenty-minute rest, slice against the grain; simplicity and smoke rule.

Open Fire Tri Tip

Description

Cook tri-tip Santa Maria-style right over the coals for big flavor and a smoky crust. This open-fire tri-tip recipe keeps it simple—just bold seasoning, live fire, and a juicy medium-rare finish.


Ingredients

  • 1 whole Tri-Tip roast (untrimmed)
  • Killer Hogs TX Brisket Rub (or salt and coarse black pepper)

Instructions

  1. Don’t Trim a Thing
    Leave all the fat and sinew on that big, beautiful tri-tip. That’s how Mr. Al Frugoni—the king of live fire—does it, and we’re sticking to it.
  2. Season Heavy
    Hit it generously with TX Brisket Rub (or your favorite salt & pepper blend). Don’t be shy—we want a big crust.
  3. Build the Fire
    Start a fire using wood splits and lump charcoal. Once you’ve got a solid coal bed, rake the coals under your cooking grate and let it heat up.
  4. Sear Over High Heat
    Place the tri-tip directly over the hot coals and press it into the grate for good contact. Flip every 3–4 minutes to build a deep sear and bark on both sides.
  5. Finish Over Medium Heat
    Once seared, move it a bit higher above the coals or to indirect heat. Keep flipping every few minutes until the internal temp hits 125–130°F for medium-rare.
  6. Rest and Slice
    Let it rest for 20 minutes. Then slice it against the grain—split it down the middle crook first, since the grain runs different ways.

 

This tri-tip is all about cooking beef the old-school way—over a live fire. Season it heavy with salt and pepper, then drop it straight over hot coals on a Santa Maria grill to build that smoky crust. Flip it often, ease it up off the heat, and cook to a juicy medium-rare. Rest it, slice it thin against the grain, and you’ve got bold flavor, tender beef, and a recipe built for the backyard fire pit or grill.

Smoked Brisket Bacon Burgers

Smoked Brisket Bacon Burgers

This ain’t your average backyard burger. We’re talking real deal, smoked low and slow, ground brisket mixed with bacon fat flavor bombs. Stack it high with cheese and toppings — and don’t forget a toasted bun to soak up all that juice.

Description

Ground brisket WITH raw bacon to make the best smoked burgers. These brisket bacon burgers are rich, smoky, and packed with flavor. The brisket gives you that beefy bite and the bacon brings in a smoky saltiness that puts ’em over the top. You might wanna wear a bib — these burgers are juicy!


Ingredients

  • 16 lb whole packer brisket (untrimmed)
  • 23 lbs bacon ends & pieces (or thick-cut bacon)
  • Killer Hogs Steak Rub (or salt, pepper, garlic)
  • Burger buns (toasted)
  • Sliced cheddar and Swiss cheese
  • Pickles
  • Red onion slices
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato slices
  • Big Malc’s Burger Sauce (or your favorite burger sauce)

BIG MALC’S BURGER SAUCE

  • ½ cup Blue Plate mayonnaise (or your favorite mayo)
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup sweet pickle relish (juice and all)
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated onion (with juice)
  • ½ teaspoon Killer Hogs TX Rub (or a mix of coarse salt & black pepper)
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (for color)
  • 12 teaspoons red wine vinegar (just a drizzle)

Instructions

PREP THE BRISKET AND BACON

  1. Tip: Freeze your brisket for 20–30 minutes before grinding to keep it cold and help the grinder work smoother.
  2. Cut the brisket into 1½ to 2-inch chunks, separating the flat from the point if needed.
  3. Keep the fat on — you want a good lean-to-fat ratio for juicy burgers.
  4. Cut bacon into similar-sized pieces so it runs through the grinder easily.

GRIND THE MEAT

  1. Alternate brisket and bacon as you feed it through the grinder to evenly mix.
  2. Grind the meat with the large plate first then if you want a finer grind, repeat the grind process
  3. Chill the ground brisket-bacon mix in the refrigerator until ready to form patties.

FORM THE BURGER PATTIES

  1. Weigh out about 8 oz portions and loosely form into balls.
  2. Use a burger press or hand-form into patties. Use parchment or a Ziploc bag for easy cleanup.
  3. Make a slight dimple in the center to prevent the patties from puffing up too much.

SEASON THE BURGERS

  1. Season the outside of each patty with Killer Hogs Steak Rub or your favorite burger seasoning. Remember the bacon adds salt, so don’t overdo it.

FIRE UP THE SMOKER

  1. Set your pit to 275°F using Royal Oak briquettes for a coal bed then add wood splits for heat.
  2. Place burgers directly on the grates and smoke for about 45 minutes, flipping after 30.
  3. Cook to an internal temp of 145°F for a juicy medium finish.

BUILD YOUR BURGER

  1. Toast your buns and spread Big Malc’s Burger Sauce on both sides.
  2. Layer on: Pickles, Red onion, Lettuce, Tomato, Double cheese (cheddar + Swiss), Smoked brisket bacon patty
  3. Crown it with the top bun and get ready to lean in.

You could fry up a burger in a pan… or you could do it right and smoke a brisket bacon burger that hits like a steakhouse sandwich on steroids. Get you a cold drink, grab two hands, and get ready to lean in — it’s a juicy one.

Hot Honey Ham

Hot Honey Ham Recipe

I took a regular spiral ham and gave it the double-smoke treatment. Then I hit it with a hot honey glaze that gives it that sticky-sweet heat. Not too hot for the family… just a little kick.

And really, smoked ham is about the easiest thing you can cook… and you can use whatever glaze you want. Just make sure you smoke one for your Easter dinner cause left-over holiday ham from a ziplock in the fridge is one of the small joys of life!

Description

This Hot Honey Ham takes a basic spiral ham and elevates it with real smoke and a bold sweet-heat glaze. The hot honey caramelizes over the fire, creating a sticky, flavorful crust with just enough kick to keep it interesting without overpowering the ham.


Ingredients

  • 810 lb spiral-sliced ham
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Killer Hogs Hot Rub
  • 1/3 cup Mike’s Hot Honey (any spicy honey will work)
  • 2 oz apple juice

Instructions

  1. Apply a light layer of Dijon mustard to the outer surface of the ham. Combine the brown sugar and hot rub, and sprinkle half of the mixture all over the ham.
  2. Set the smoker up for indirect cooking (2-zone fire), and add a chunk of hickory wood to the hot coals for smoke flavor.
  3. Place the ham on the indirect side and smoke for 2.5 hours.
  4. Combine the remaining brown sugar mixture with the hot honey and apple juice. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
  5. Spread the glaze over the ham and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the glaze starts to caramelize.
  6. Remove the ham from the pit, rest it for a few minutes, then carve off the bone for serving.

To me, jerk chicken is something special. It’s smoky, spicy, sweet and packed with flavor. And it makes your whole backyard smell amazing when your cooking it!

Now, I’m no Jamaican pitmaster, but I did my best to stay true to the authentic Jerk Chicken I’ve had in the Caribbean. I started with a killer marinade, added just the right amount of char and even made a fiery dipping sauce to serve with it.

Description

This spicy jerk chicken recipe is smoky, juicy, and packed with bold Caribbean flavors! Whether you’re grilling or smoking, I’ll show you how to make the BEST jerk chicken with the perfect balance of heat and sweetness.


Ingredients

For the Chicken & Marinade:

  • 1 whole chicken, cut into quarters
  • 1 bottle Walkerswood Jerk Marinade
  • 1 tablespoon Malcom’s Jammin’ Jerk Seasoning
  • 1 cup dark brown sugar
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped (green parts for marinade, white parts for sauce)
  • 45 cloves garlic, minced
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 4 oz pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

For the Jerk Dipping Sauce:

  • 1/2 stick butter
  • White parts of the green onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Scotch Bonnet or Habanero pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce
  • 45 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Malcom’s Jammin’ Jerk Seasoning
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • Juice from 1/2 lemon

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken:
  • Cut the whole chicken into quarters, separating white and dark meat. Score the chicken breasts with shallow slits to help with even cooking and better flavor absorption.
  • Place the chicken quarters in a large ziplock bag. Pour in the jerk marinade and add Malcom’s Jammin’ Jerk seasoning.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining marinade ingredients, then pour into the ziplock bag.
  • Squeeze out excess air, seal the bag, and gently massage the marinade into the chicken. Refrigerate overnight (or at least 8 hours).

2. Prepare the Grill:

  • Remove the chicken from the marinade and lightly season with a little more Jerk seasoning.
  • Set up a charcoal grill for two-zone cooking at 350°F. (I used my Primo ceramic grill, but any grill works.)

3. Cook the Chicken:

  • Place the chicken on the indirect side of the grill. Cook for about 45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F for white meat and 175°F for dark meat.

4. Make the Jerk Dipping Sauce:

  • Place a heavy-bottomed pot directly over the hot coals.
  • Add butter, white parts of the green onion, garlic, and peppers. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  • Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and pour into a small dish to cool.

5. Char & Serve:

  • Move the chicken quarters to the direct heat side of the grill.
  • Sear for 1-2 minutes per side, just until you get that perfect jerk char.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  • Serve hot with the jerk dipping sauce on the side.

Enjoy the bold, smoky, and spicy goodness of this Jerk Chicken!

Description

A little sweet… a little savory… and a kick of spice. These Hot Honey ribs are not only beautiful, they are down-right delicious1


Ingredients

For the Rib Wrap:

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 10oz apple juice
  • 1/4 cup Mike’s Hot Honey
  • 1/4 cup Killer Hogs Vinegar Sauce
  • 3 sticks salted butter (split in half lengthwise)

For the Rib Glaze:


Instructions

  1. Trim ribs and remove membrane. Apply light coat of hot sauce for a binder and season well with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
  2. Prepare pit for smoking at 275°F using hickory wood for smoke flavor. I used my Outlaw stick burner pit but any smoker/indirect grilll will work just keep the temp steady at 275°F.
  3. Place the ribs on the pit and smoke for 2 hours. Spritz with water if the outside starts to look dry after an hour in the smoke.
  4. Make the rib wrap liquid – combine brown sugar, apple juice, hot honey, and vinegar sauce in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes and allow to cool at room temp.
  5. To wrap the ribs remove each slab from the pit; use a double layer of aluminum foil; place the ribs meat side down on the foil, add 1/2 cup of wrap liquid to each slab; place 1 stick of the butter over the top; and close the foil around the ribs.
  6. Place the ribs back on the pit and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Internal temp should be around 202-205°F.
  7. Rest the ribs in a dry cooler for 1 hour before glazing.
  8. To glaze: place each rack on a foil covered raised cooling rack meat side down; dust with a little Hot Rub and place back on the pit for 5 minutes; brush with The BBQ Sauce and cook for 7 additional minutes. Flip the ribs over and dust the meat side with Hot Rub and return to the pit for 5 minutes. Brush the meat side with The BBQ Sauce and drizzle with Hot Honey; blend the honey in with the bbq sauce and return to the pit for 7 additional minutes to set.
  9. Cut the slabs into individual bone pieces and serve.
