    pit boss at costco

    The pit boss is likely a fine grill. I went with the Primo for a few reasons. 1. American made 2. Reputation for excellent customer service 3. I got sick of buying cheap knockoffs 4. Dual zones allow me to grill, smoke or bake 5. It was either a big green egg or a Primo. The owner of the shop...

    1st cold smoke

    Cold smoking cheese, bologna, kielbasa and bacon today with my new A-Maze-N 5x8. I tied some thick cut bacon together just to see what the pecan dust will do . Internal temp has been 53-58 consistently for 3 hours now. Doing 2 whole Boston butts tomorrow. Happy Easter everyone!

    First time smoked chicken wings

    Nice Wings!  I could eat about two dozen of those.  I like to brine my wings first and smoke with pecan wood before crisping them up on the grill.

    100% All Beef Bologna

    Looks great!  My main complaint with mass produced bologna, is that it is so emulsified, that there is no texture.  I'm on the verge of making my own beef hot dogs & pepperoni, but looking at this may just put bologna in the lead for my next project. I'm thinking of adding a bunch of roasted...

    Newbie AMNPS question

    I too have a 30" MES and just got my AMNPS 5x8 combo package in the mail today.  It was just about as exciting as when the shipment of new Sig Sauer P320's came in.  I'm doing pork butt for Easter and I can't wait to try this and get some good smoke on that butt!  I mix organic yellow mustard...

    Sous vide smoked burgers

    My comedian friend saw your post and said "I don't know much about smoking food, but it seems to me that surrounding meat in smoke for 2-12 hours is bad. I mean, just think if you smoked a 12 hour cigarette". I guess education is key. There is a ton of good sous vide information here and on the...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I made my cat a 'zombie' with an iPhone app. It became the name of my fictitious homebrew company and the first beer I made was a ZombieKitty IPA.  It's kind of stuck on me. It is my handle on Untapped (the beer journal app) as well.  For the record, I only have the one cat. I'm not that crazy...

    Proper Trussing of a Whole Bird in a 1:25 video

    After working in professional kitchens for years, I'm a firm believer in both trussing and brining whole chickens.  Below is a youtube link to a 1:25 video of Chef Brian Polcyn showing how to properly truss a whole chicken.  Chef Polcyn teaches charcuterie for a local culinary program here in...

    Sous vide smoked burgers

    I love my Sous Vide. You can season burgers however you wish and have them ready for a quick flash in a pan or on the grill after a tough day at work and it tastes like you spent all day tending to the grill.  I grind my own meat to control the level of fat.  I find that making burgers that...
