    Help wih finding cherry drink.

    A couple years back there was a thread that contained a cherry drink that was made from cherries (can't remember if they were fresh), alcohol (ever-clear?), other ingredients (???), and was put into individual mason jars to be stored in the fridge and consumed at a later date.   I thought I had...

    Would you trust this corned beef? ****UPDATED with Q-VUE

    In February I prepped an awesome brisket with Morton's tender quick and spices but soon after my life went to hell.  Since then I haven't fired up my barrel and even stopped lurking here.  It has been a terrible time, but that isn't the reason for my post.  I wanted to know if I should dump the...

    VACNSAC

    I had to let people know about this cool place to buy sealer bags, vacnsac.com .  I remember someone on this forum mentioning it long ago, but never had a sealer to use such a product.  I just received 200 quart size bags, with express shipping for less than 50.00!!  I priced foodsaver and it...

    Pineapple brown sugar injected, strawberry and lemon glazed Ham. Q/view

    Okay here is my Thanksgiving addition to the families dinner. We had dinner at the outlaws so I did not have to cook the whole meal. My assignment was the ham (as well as deviled eggs, rolls, and fruit and fruit dip. The wife did the fruit and dip). I wanted the ham to knock peoples socks off so...

    My UDS is done

    Finally I have finished building my UDS. It has been a long time coming, but glad to be done. I have run a test smoke and I am amazed how well it performed. I wasn't shooting for the cheapest or most expensive, I just wanted something that would work for me. I took a lot of ideas from other...

    Safeway Cross Rib Roast

    I was going through the current grocery ads and found a deal. Safeway Ranchers Reserve Boneless Cross Rib Roast 1.99 #. That seems pretty cheap to me. Isn't that the roast you use for prime rib? This Christmas we are planning to have prime rib instead of turkey, would this freeze well (uncooked)...

    Cured?? I didn't even know it was sick...

    Well I wanted to try curing and smoking a full turkey. I got the idea from Rytek Kutas book. I had a turkey in the freezer for over a year so what better piece to try it out on? I thawed it out in the refrigerator for a week and then made a brine of TQ, white sugar, brown sugar, onion powder and...

    Full Weekend Q View Heavy

    This weekend was a long weekend so I thought I would have time to fill the freezer with smoked goodies to last us through the next couple of months. I wasn't planning on eating any of it right away, I was just tired of having nothing for lunches or late dinners. Never fails you get hungry, go to...

    All Cured Meat Weekend, W/Qview

    I have watched the posts about cured meats lately and decided I wanted in on the fun. I planned on making Pastrami, Canadian Bacon, and Capacola for the first time. Later I will add to this post, but for now I have run into a couple problems and hope someone could give me a hand. I guess you...

    Meat curing book?

    I am sure that someone here has read a great meat curing book. I want to learn the proper ways to cure and maybe a few recipes. How about a book on making sausage. Kind of general questions, but I need something else to read!

Has anyone used an Uniflame Round Charcoal Grill for parts?http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10828982 I figure that I could use the dome for a lid, cooking...

    Wood burning problems

    I have been playing with chunks of wood, mostly apple, trying to get away from buying lump charcoal. Everything has gone great except I am getting a bitter taste on the surface of the meat. Right now I have only smoked chickens using this method and when I pull and foil them I get juices from...

    Here goes!! Q-View for the 4th

    For the 4th I am having a party for most of the wife's family. I am expecting 15 to 20 people for at least 2 meals (11:30 and 6:00). I picked up a 17# brisket, 10# shoulder, and 9# shoulder. I have much more planned that I will get to later (chickens, quarters, sausage, ABT's, Ribs, and ham). I...

The last year has been hell w/ 3 surgeries, missed work, and alot of bills. It has sucked not being...

    What end is up?

    Well I am not new to smoking, but have had a hell of a time the last couple years producing food that I am proud to serve. The last few months I have made great strides and have had some promising results. I don't know what I can contribute to the forum, but I will sure be taking all the great...
