Holy cow! Turtle came by and we got the smoker going to try something neither of us had ever heard of, something that we didn't even bother searching online for ... Hickory Smoked Burgers. From here on out there's only two ways I'll ever serve a burger, and this is one.

One food on my top 10 list would have to be baby back ribs. There's a primal gratification in handling cooked meat with my fingers and gnaw little bits of stuck animal off the bone. My normal recipe is to cook the ribs in the oven, but the smoker in the yard is screaming to be used again.
