    Last Smoke for 2007

    On Saturday I had my last smoke for the year. An eight pound picnic shoulder that turned into some excellect pulled pork. But that's not the best part. The best part was the cook. He was nattily attired in a crisp white apron, emblazoned with a smoking meats forum.com logo. This is real haute...

    Unique Pork Sammie

    Maybe this came to mind because I'm just an old Pennsylvania Dutchman, but pork and sauerkraut is a traditional Pa. Dutch dish. Especially on New Years day. It's supposed to bring good fortune for the new year. Well I love pork and saurkraut and I combined them in a sammie. A layer of pork, a...

    Yesterday's Yard Bird

    Well I fired up the Cactus Cooker (GOSM) and smoked me a lemon pepper yard bird. I also threw some mild italian sausages in there with the bird. By the time the bird was done, the sausages had disappeared. I think it was leprechans, because I'd swear I heard someone say they were "magically...

    Sunday Meatloaf

    Smoked a meatloaf today. I think I only needed the smoker to generate the smoke. The ambient temp inside my smoker prior to firing it up was 111. And the smoker sits in the shade. Patio temp was about 97. When I finished the smoke, the outside ambient on the patio was 111. Forty minutes after I...

    Babybacks and a Fatty

    Did a little smoke today. A rack of bb's done 2-2-1 and a 1 lb. fatty. Nothing monumental to report. Used cherry for this one. The smoke went very smooth and the ribs with a side of slaw were tasty. A few Q-view to verify the smoke.

    First Meatloaf

    Well, I smoked my first meatloaf today as well as a fatty and some mild Italian sausage. Major thumbs up on the sausages but the jury is still out on my meatloaf. May have failed to get it all mixed properly and I did put in a bit more garlic than I should have. I'll have to cleanse my palate...

    Got a Big Complement

    Today I took some of my pulled pork to work for the folk to sample. Also took some Carolina Mustard sauce and some horseradish bbq sauce I made. One of the guy's parents live in E. Carolina and when he's visits he can't get enough mustard sauce, so he was my biggest critic. He loved it and gave...
