    Meat markets near Santa Fe,NM

    Hey y'all, just moved to Santa Fe,NM, and I'll be darned  if I can find a good ol' fashioned meat market anywhere-  Imagine that! Lots of Ridiculously priced organic, fed with a spoon, type stuff.....    Anybody know of a place out here?  I've been hitting Costco in ABQ, but it's a bit of a...

    Dino Rib!!!!

    I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't. Without a doubt the best BBQ I've ever had, hands down. Was lucky enough to be in Texas on business last week, and I made the pilgrimage  to Louie Mueller's in Taylor. Just had to share a couple pics of the food and the fine folks who man the...

    Precook bacon for a fattie?

    Question for all the fattie experts out there-  My neighbor gave me some nice fresh ground venison, spiced up like chorizo, was thinking I'd do a fattie with some sweet peppers, onions, etc... I've never done a fattie before, should I precook the bacon a little before wrapping? Also, what IT...

    Meat labeling

    Fellow smokers, we really need to stress the importance of punctuation to our suppliers. This could be detrimental to our sport!!

    French dip time!!

    Sorry, just had to share my new toy-  Got the OK from Supreme Command to purchase a slicer, however, she forgot o give me a budget. Was going to get one from Cabelas, then I thought, buy the one you want! So off to the restaurant supply house. Boy, that place is trouble......   Got a Berkel 9"...

    Best brisket yet!!

    Been trying to improve my Brisket skills, so thought I'd give it another whirl. Gonna call this one the FrankenBear Brisket, in homage to Bearcarver & Mr. Franklin of Austin fame. Picked up a nice flat, about 7 lbs., and coated it with thick worcestershire sauce (they call it Bold Steak Sauce...

    Thick Worcestershire sauce

    Just a heads up, I have had trouble finding the old L&P thick sauce, just found out it has been renamed "Bold Steak Sauce". Salvation!!!

    Pellets in New Mexico

    Hi Y'all, Just checking to see what availability is like in and around the Albuquerque area for pellets- I'm moving from the frozen hellhole of Minnesota to sunny NM this fall, and I'm debating whether to buy a couple pallets up here from Todd, and pay to have them moved down w/ the rest of our...

    "Hammy ribs?"

    Had an interesting cook the other night-  Went to Rainbow foods cuz they had a big seafood sale going on, and I wanted some Smelt. While there I noticed they had BB ribs on sale for 2.49/lb. Hormel brand, simply labeled pork loin back ribs. At that price, I figured why not? Smoked them exactly...

    First smokes on the new Yoder

    I received my much-anticipated Yoder 640 last week, and couldn't wait to try it out.  I cranked it up to 350 for a couple hours to burn it out, and then let cool. Cleaned it out, oiled up the grates, and filled with Hickory pellets. (Yoder graciously included 2 20# bags with it!)  I think my MES...

    Awesome Beef Shortribs

    Had a hankering for something beefy, so I thought I'd try my hand at some Dino bones. I went to my favorite store, Osseo Meats, and had them order me a 4 bone rack of the whole rib, as I wanted the classic presentation. I removed the membrane & silver skin, along with a big vein of fat that ran...

    1st Brisket smoke

    Finally bit the bullet and decided to try a brisket for the 4th- As I've got a  MES 30", I ordered a small untrimmed packer, thinking I would trim most of the fat to do a drip baste, (Thanks Bear!!).  The whole deal weighed in around 12 lbs, and I soon realized this was not going to fit in my...

    MES Smoker mods

    Howdy Y'all- Thought I'd share my experience with my 30" MES...  Like most other folks, I discovered that the basic design is inherently flawed- no call for heat = no smoke. NO good. Especially in the warmer months. So I bought the AMNPS- great product, but it just doesn't work as well as it...

    First batch of ribs

    I think I'm catching on, did my first batch of Ribs, and they were better than any BBQ joint around here. Found a local market that had fresh spareribs, and went to work. I cut off the flap, and rubbed the whole works down with Mustard. I caved in & bought Jeff's rub recipe, and don't regret it...

    "ol wood smokehouse.....

    Just finished watching an episode of "Alaska, the last frontier" and had to share with my fellow smokers-  One of the families hauled in a huge catch of Salmon, so, what to do?   The Ol' smokehouse of course!   Turns out the crate they built the smokehouse out of was used to transport his...
