Pizza Dough – Long Ferment!

A quick post here for those that are wanting to know about a dough I posted on FaceBook recently. This is my take on longer ferment dough and I think it’s really a great dough. It’s a variation on my original recipe from years ago that utilizes Active Dry Yeast. Here it’s made with King Arthur Bread Flour but I’ll Continue Reading...

Pizza – An Update

Pizza!   If you’ve followed me here or on Facebook then you know that as much as I enjoy great “Q”, I am equally intrigued by baking pizza in the BGE.  The egg is a perfect domed, clay, wood-fired pizza oven that is totally capable of high temps for proper baking of many types of pie.  Am I an expert pizza Continue Reading...

A Little Brisket For Practice

  We’ve been doing some updating and renovating at the Angry Man Test Kitchen at beautiful Lake Hartwell. Recently I bought a small brisket flat to cook while I was trying to change out some ceiling fans. Luck for you this story is about the brisket and not fans! There may have been an angry man on top of the Continue Reading...

Ribeye Like A Caveman

OK, sorry it’s been a while since I’ve posted – but I’m back. Recently we had friends over to eat at the Angry Man BBQ Test Kitchen and I wanted something special for them. I picked up some of those 1lb Ribeyes from the meat case at Costco. You know the ones – always so pretty in the package with Continue Reading...

Keeping up with little Continue Reading...

Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken On The BGE

Perhaps it’s a part of being birthed and growing up in deep South Georgia – I do love cooking in heavy, cast iron pans.  While many think only of cast iron frying pans on the stove-top for yumalicious fried chicken, they are amazingly versatile tools. Truly, they are champions in the oven!   I can’t imagine trying to make cornbread without Continue Reading...

Brisket – BBQ’s Kissing Cousin

Brisket – it’s become the holy grail of BBQ and the smoking world over the past few years. It’s one of those meats that either you are spot-on or way-off when it comes to perfection in cooking. Having grown up in South Georgia where BBQ is really only pork I did not even taste smoked brisket until I was in Continue Reading...

A Solar Eclipse and Baby Back Ribs

The event of the decade was the solar eclipse that happened last week on Monday, August 21. The Angry Man Test Kitchen on beautiful Lake Hartwell was located in the path of total darkness – we were to get 1 minute and 55 seconds of 100% of the sun blocked by the moon, a Total Eclipse! We’ve looked forward to Continue Reading...

A Mac-Cheese Challenge

No recipes – No measurements – No rules Yesterday was about really relaxed cooking. The Pleasant Lady and I have guests coming in for a few days at Lighthouse Lane and we have enjoyed taking some time to neaten up and finish some projects around the house. Traditional Saturday night steaks were moving to another evening so I needed another Continue Reading...
