Day 2 of Arkassippi Combo pork belly and ribs. Trying to figure out our timeline for the Hartville Hardware Grillfest. Really looking forward to this event! We get to meet Danielle - Diva Q® too! Although I'm a little nervous having her judge our food!

Our first actual chili cookoff yesterday and we couldn't have asked for a better outcome! This was so much fun and we took a 3rd in judges choice and a 1st in people's choice! Good times with great people!

Happy birthday Francis Rice! #guardians #Clevelandguardians

Arkassippi Combo chicken fajitas! Turned out great! #teamarkassippi #engine2bbq

Engine 2 BBQ isn't a one-trick pony. We make a pretty mean salad too! Threw this together last minute for my daughter's Christmas party with her friends.

Pork belly burnt ends and a slab for slices!

Braided pork loin ready for the Arkassippi Combo.

New Year strip steaks that we'll turn into a charcuterie board for a party tonight. Wishing you all a Happy, healthy and safe New Year! #teamarkassippi #arkassippicombo #moomagic #hottytottyseasonings #allquedupseasonings #flaps20

Strip steak charcuterie board. I'm very happy with the way this turned out!!!

Well it's been a while but we fired up the smoker for some backyard babybacks for dinner this evening! I'm loving the color. #arkassippicombo

Waiting to pull these off the smoker until this race is over! Let's go boys!

Just cooking a little pork belly on an absolutely gorgeous day here in Northeast Ohio! I can't wait until these are done! What are y'all cooking this weekend?

Yesterday's pork belly. Seasoned with the Arkassippi Combo and my competition sauce. We couldn't have been happier with the way this turned out!

We haven't cooked a steak since December 31st due to some travel and surgery but, like Randolph and Mortimer, we're back!!! I can't wait for the finished product!!! #teamarkassippi #arkassippicombo #arkasippismokelive

Getting back in practice for our SCA cookoffs. I was sidelined for a little surgery but I'm ready to go! Looking forward to getting back out on the road with my family and some amazing friends! #engine2bbq #teamarkassippi #arkassippicombo

Not my best work but still good enough for 5th place at the SCA event in West Newton, Pa this weekend. I haven't cooked a steak Cookoff in 6 months. It felt good to get back behind the grill!

Independence Day #SCA steak practice. #engine2bbq #teamarkassippi
