Had to re-up on the pickled bitter melon. Might as well pickle some papaya while I'm at it LOL.

T-minus 1 hour before wrap time. Sinigang rub and Mexican inspired tamarind rub.

12/08/2017

So, these turned out to be amazing. That bruschetta rub was everything I had hoped it would be. Smoked an hour wrapped in butcher paper with just butter. Must try.

Sometimes the best devices are simple. No one does it better than the Squatch.

Bummer. But we haven't seen the sky in about a week at this point, the air stinks, and its stuffy out here, so please respect the ban. It's ok to use your gas grill if you have one. I won't hate 👍🏼🍺

rubbed with Whistle Stop Grill-It seasoning.

Well, here it is, and it's delicious. I think I can go harder with the li Hing Mui powder next time. Finished this with a sear to get some crunch on the outside. Family approved, so I'll get the recipe out.

Pork tenderloin marinated. Testing a recipe I threw together which includes Li Hing Mui powder. If it turns out well, I'll have the recipe on the blog.

Another vid from last night. First time I've cooked and wrapped my ribs, so I was very pleased (and so was the fam) how these turned out. Not falling apart, but OMG you have to experience it for yourself!

Pork ribs getting wrapped and then back onto the smoker!

Almost forgot I cold smoked a little block of Beecher's Flagship Cheese. Smoked with maple pellets in the cold smoke tube, then sat in the fridge for about a week. Thinking about picking a bunch up and smoking it. Probably gift it to friends and family.. we'll see!

If you were to propose to a woman with that smoke ring, I'm almost certain she'd say YES!

Here are the ends of the pork ribs, marinated the same. Had to get the other grill going to fit everything, but we are looking good! What are you all up to today?

Cooking up about 25lbs of pork ribs and ends ( not all pictured) for a party later today. Marinated overnight in lemon, soy sauce, onions, brown sugar, and yellow mustard, and pepper. This has been my rib marinade recipe for over 10 years, and it was especially requested, so here we go!

Cheesy, Bacon-Wrapped Fire 🔥 Candy recipe from Our Father's Day outing and how-to posted on www.tunu.life

Some like it really hot, and some don't, so if you're looking to meet everyone's expectations, try this one out. It's cheesy, smoky, bacony, salty, and spicy. Served as an appetizer, or grill-side snack, I'd say that the whole just may be greater than the sum of it's parts (I'm sorry bacon, but while you're great alone, sometimes, you're better when you're working in a team).

Let's fire up the grill, it's tunu time! Kelaguen Kelaguen is a signature dish, or staple as some may say, that is ALWAYS at any gathering in Chamorro culture. I learned how to make it at an early age, and have since been sharing it with friends everywhere I go, because chances are, they've never tasted anything like it. In addition to sharing it, I also often experiment with it, adding other flavors in from other cultures who have similar dishes in a quest for the ultimate kelaguen. [ 1,504 more word ]

So... I had to do something fun with the leftover ingredients I had, so here we are. Grilled beef tossed with sautéed garlic spears (lemon, butter, salt), longanisa (topped with some of that dinanche), on rice.

Picked some of this chipotle powder made by from my butcher to give it a try this weekend.

Welcome to the inaugural post for my blog! As a first post, I wanted to do something unexpected, while staying true to my experience of the Tunu lifestyle (where everything is cooked over a fire, whether it be a grill, a smoker, or in an outdoor oven). While navigating the matrix of photos that is Instagram, I stumbled across something that absolutely stood out as an innovative, creative dish where I thought I would be able to create my own version and still fall within the requirement of having to cook over fire.
