Place on greased grill directly over medium heat. Add soaked wood chips. Cover and cook, turning and basting with marinade halfway through, for 16-20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with fork.


Carolina Style Pork Butt  (okay, not as good as Texas Style but pretty decent)

1 Pork butt (shoulder)
1 gal Cider vinegar
10 oz Worcestershire sauce
6 oz Chili sauce
1 1/4 oz Crushed red pepper flakes

Mix all sauce ingredients together. Use as a basting sauce for the meat.
The pork has to be cooked long and slow over a real wood fire, preferably hickory. Temperature should be around 220 degrees, and it takes at least 1-1/2 hours per pound, or until internal temperature reaches 150-160 degrees F.
Slice and serve on a large white bun or roll.
For a true Carolina treat, add sweet cole slaw on top of the meat.
 

BBQ Venison Chops

20 Venison chops
6 oz Beer (alcohol burns off)
1 lg Onion, chopped
4 Pats of butter
2 oz Garlic

Place aluminum foil on hot grill with sides folded up, so there is no runoff of juices.
Place chops on foil. Add beer, chopped onion and butter. Turn often to avoid burning and sprinkle garlic salt on chops each time you turn them.
When chops are done, remove foil. Place chops back on grill (turning often) until charcoal black.


Chunky Guacamole (very similar to the Blue Room Secret Recipe)

1 small tomato, finely chopped
1 small jalapeno pepper, finely chopped
1 green onion, chopped
1 small clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon salt
1 medium avocado (very ripe)

In a medium mixing bowl, combine tomato, jalapeno, green onion, garlic, lemon juice and salt. Mix well. Peel avocado. Cut into ½ inch cubes. Stir avocado cubes into mixture. Serve immediately.
