    Smoking a turkey.

    I've never smoked a turkey before, and now that I look, I can already see I should have brined it.   The package says "all natural, up to 6% water retained from processing"  I have no idea what that means, but I suspect it means no brine.   I put on my nitrile examination gloves and tore out...

    propose a pack of peppy powdered peppers

    Rolled my first fatty (w/ Qview)

    A year and some change ago I heard about the over-hyped (but awe-inspiring, to the uninitiated) 'Bacon Explosion'.  It seemed to me the sort of thing that only some kind of hyper-talented meat smoking fanatic would do.  In other words, it seemed like the most awesome thing in the world.  Bottom...

    Making jerky in a vertical charcoal smoker

    Ahh spring. That magical time of year when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of beef jerky. Of course, The problem with beef jerky, is that it costs about as much as really good scotch.  So I decided to make my own.  Besides, every man should possess a wide range of fire based cooking...
