    Talk about low and slow!

    Here's a link to a story in today's Dallas Morning News about a North Texas BBQ tour. Apparently at Clark's in Tioga he smokes his brisket for 3 1/2 DAYS at 160*. He calls it slow smoke curing, but it sounds a lot like pasteurization to me. His website says he uses no rub - just naked brisket...

    DFW Butcher

    Now I'm in no way affiliated with the butcher I'm going to recommend and this is not any commercial advertisement. It's just a testimonial from a very satisfied carnivore. You would think Dallas and the surrounding suburbs would be a Mecca for butcher shops. It is full of Mexican carnicerías...

    Stuffed Calf Liver

    I guess this could be considered a fatty of sorts, but here is my story and I'm sticking to it. We had a thread going a while back about liver. It is a given that liver gets about a 50/50 between yum and yuck. I wanted to try something on the smoker that was a new twist on liver and onions. This...

    Hold your water!

    I don't know where else to post this so it is going under Ideas. I've been playing around with rainwater retention for over a year now. I have one rain barrel that I bought, and another that I built. I'm now working on a system that uses four 55 gallon drums piped in series with the 40 gallon...

    Free smoker on Craigslist Dallas

    http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/zip/1519864930.html I would get it myself but Frisco is a little far to go for something I already have. I hope one of y'all can give it a good home!

    Potatoes Dauphinoise

    Since it's that time of year and everyone is looking for something new, I thought I'd share my favorite potato dish. It is super rich and not something you would want every day. But, as we all know, calories and cholesterol don't count on holidays. I've never tried to smoke this because I like...

    Brisketzilla

    When I saw this puppy at the store I had to have it. Almost 18 1/2 pounds of beefy goodness. I smoked it Saturday, but I could hardly sleep Friday night from the anticipation. Mrs. Athabaskar and I rolled out at 5:00am and we had this guy and a friend on before 7:00am. It was a beautiful Texas...

    Tree Rats

    I've grown tomatoes in my garden for nearly 20 years, some good, some not. About 6 or 7 years ago the squirrels discovered this easy source of water and nutrition. I lost a few here and there, but I'm not selfish. I tolerated it for a time. Then I tried to stop them. A little cayenne ought to do...

    Howdy, Y'all!

    I came across this awesome forum last night while looking for tips. It seems like you can never learn enough about smoking meat, etc. I'm from Irving, Texas. Currently using a New Braunfels offset that has many hours on it. I've retired a couple of water smokers, as well as an Old Smokey kettle...
