    Looking for Recipes App for iPhone/iPad/iPod

    I use Recipe Book and love it. It allows you to search online and import recipes from many sites, create your own. You can even import your own pics. You can use it to increase or decrease the servings (which changes ingredient measures). It creates shopping list, email recipes with...

    Smoker Shed Pix/Suggeston?

    I am about to build a "Smokin Shed" and would love to see some pix for ideas if anyone has any. My idea is to build a carport like structure to back the smoker into, have enough room under it to stack my wood and have a work table, chairs etc. I am thinking the sides would have 4 ft outdoor...

    Rub w/popcorn

    Okay I had a few beverages tonight and got the munchies. I fixed some popcorn but it needed something. Jeff's rub to the rescue. Sprinkle a little on some popcorn.... Really good!

    Q View from the Lang

    Coley the applebutter is a different texture. It didn't glaze or allow a bark really. All loved the flavor but not all were happy with the texture. It pretty much stayed as soft as it was when I first put it on. I couldn't get apple wood this time so I thought I'd see what this would do. I used...

    Q View from the Lang

    These are a little late, but lost the cord to load the pics from the camera. Anyway here are some pics from labor day. Just enough for the family. Using the Lang was a little overkill, but had to do it. Enjoy, we did

    new lang smoker 60 model question

    We do our first comp 9/22. It is a local event with 20 cooks/teams. This one is ribs only. It is a little different than other comps in that you are required to buy meat from the sponsors. It isn't bad though, first case is about $30 more than cost and all subsequent cases are at cost. The...

    new lang smoker 60 model question

    Am I doing this whole thing wrong?

    GT2003, I use the therm. for a couple of reasons. As has been said, if I am serving to others I want to make sure what I am serving is safe with no doubts. Also I have found that sometimes the meat will plateau for a long period, and while most times I can get pretty close, the therm. makes sure...

    Firebox

    Firebox - welcome to SMF. I usually cook with white oak and some hickory, both are in abundance here. With pork I prefer the white oak and then I add some apple to it. Fruit woods are harder to get here. The first couple of times I just googled BBQ Wood and found quite a few sites you can...
