    My new toy with q view

    I am somewhat suprised, not at the results of this test or at the device used... But more so at the fact this device is new to this forum... Doing a simple google search in my quest for more knowledge of cold smoking, the proQ device was one of the first results... I figured this was a common...

    Jim's Bacon Making Process For Walking Dude. Pt 1

    In the recipe in the first post, is "real villella extract" by chance a typo where you meant real vanilla extract? Or am I just missing something :X I cant find anything even on the internet about villella extract...

    Requesting a little info

    Thanks again Desertlites I think I am just about ready to give this a go, just need to order some cure! As far as that goes, I probably know the answer to this already, but gonna ask anyways since I would rather ask a redundant question than to risk any sort of food poisoning hehe. I am...

    Requesting a little info

    Desertlites - the electric hot plate is a great idea! You have found that this still gets the little amount of heat you look for in the ecb? Also, do you just pile up chips or chunks on top of the hot plate and let them smolder? Also, out of curiosity, do you use sand in the water pan during...

    Requesting a little info

    Thanks for the tips guys! So it sounds like I should be able to get some cold smoking results by just using a handful of coals and then loading chips on top of them? Can I just load the fire pan up with chips and they won't all catch on fire and get the heat out of control? In other words...

    Requesting a little info

    As far as the cold smoking process goes, am I going to be able to get good results in my ECB? Or would I be better off using my Weber grill for this? Also, does the meat have to get up to a certain temperature? I have read several people say they get their meat up to about 125 degrees...

    Requesting a little info

    Thanks for that book, that will be my next read as soon as I finish IHTSBIH :) . Another quick question that I possibly should have asked in the OP regaurding buckboard bacon: If I have a bone in butt, do I just cut the shoulder in half to liberate the bone and make managable pieces of meat...

    Requesting a little info

    So after a lot of reading around on here and seeing everyone else's delicious looking results, I am wanting to try my hand at bacon and curing meats :) . But I am wanting a little bit of info that I have not been able to find yet... I read Jim's guide to making bacon, and that was a great help...

    Smoking Chicken Quarters In Traeger and finish in TBE

    I was totally guessing on the big easy thing, but knew the basket since my dad has one. But after scrolling back up I caught this from the OP: Dont know how I missed that before lol. But that definitly clears it up. Not to mention, it is very discreetly in his pics :doh:

    Some sort of modified basket out of a "big easy" cooker?

    My first Q View!

    Thanks guys :) Just shredded the lemmon pepper one, and it is fantastic! I started to try and cut it, but when I went to move it, the wings and legs literally fell off by themselves hehe. And then when I went to use my knife on the body of the bird, the meat just started falling apart, so I...

    My first Q View!

    Thanks for those tips, it is an iphone though, and the camera has just always been crappy haha. I am not too concerned about it, if I want a good pic of something my DSLR is just about always with me :) .

    My first Q View!

    Sorry for the fuzzy pic, my phones camera SUCKS... Oh, and that plate behind the baking sheet... I smoked a few pieces of bacon just for fun. They did not turn out to be tasty treats... Could be due to the fact it was just some cheap bacon. I have been reading all day though and want to try...

    My first Q View!

    Not my first time smoking, just my first time sharing the Q view :) Two chickens, both about 3.5 pounds. The left one was rubbed with my home made BBQ rub, the right one with a lemon pepper rub. Both were injected with creole butter, and smoked for about 4 hours with some mequite chunks in my ECB
