My question is> Have BBQ contests gotten too expensive for common guy to compete in? When I started in KCBS venues i was paying about 100 buck to enter...a expensive one was 150. Today a cheap one is 150 bucks and most are 200 plus. With the cost of meat and everything else it has really put...
Not only is meat prices going through the roof but the quality is going through the floor. I have been cooking in contests for 14 years and have never had a worse brisket than a few weeks back. Paid 100 bucks for this Prime hunk of tire scrap. It was the worse brisket i have ever had...the...
Has anyone used these pellets? I saw them today and was wondering if they are anygood. They are not cheaper than bbq delights or others, so that is not a reason to use them. They do have some interesting flavors though.
I have no experience in making sausage...and I want to know how much stuff one needs to start...and what is the start up cost of making sausage? I have read some pretty bad reviews on the manual sausage horn type of stuffer..which are cheaper to buy. I mainly want to make the sausage for...
Going to try and make a lasagna fattie tomorrow. Going to season ground beef with Italian seasoning, cook noodles, sauce and cottage cheese in middle. I think it will be good but will know for sure tomorrow. I will post some pics and comment back on how it turns out.
Hey all, I have been messing around making my own lump charcoal. I think I have figured out the process to where it is economic to do. Anyone else out there making there own.
Well today I will start an experiment to see if my pork ribs can be improved by brining them. It has really improved the chicken flavor and moisture. I will take slabs and brine 1.5 of them and the others will be not brined. All other parts of the cook will be the same. I really need...
I have a ys 640...bought it in Jaunuay at the kcbs banquet. Works great still learning where to place the damper for the best results. It does seem to work better with the damper pushed in about 4 inches.
Cooked this brisket for about 10.5 hrs on my 640...great smoke ring...Yes it looks dry in pic, but did not think to take the pic till about 30 min after I cut it...so the cut did dry a bit...but great smoke ring is what I was showing...
Built this steer jack to help move my large 925 lb offset around. I take this rig to contests and was a real pain to move. Before i built this I would have to hold up and pull all the weight. Now I just crank up the jack and use the handle to pull and steer at the same time. It helps to have...
I cooked a Tri tip last Friday and man was it good. I used my homemade lump charcoal and smoked it on my uts to a internal temp of 150 let it rest for a 15min. I think it may be my new favorite cut.
I have seen it done on you tube...but has anyone made their own charcoal...I am going to try it this weekend and see what happens. I have a smaller barrel with a lid that I plan in setting into a larger 55 gal barrel . It will be nice if it works and does not take too much time. Lump is...
So here is a pic of the inlets...and below is answer I received from Yoder.
Yes! You can purchase them they us. They are $29.95/ea. and require a 39/64 hole. Since that size is pretty specific (and, perhaps, a bit hard to find for a drill bit), you could try a 5/8" hole which would be 1/64 too...
This is by no ways a scientific study..but over the last 2 cooks I have weighed the pellets that I put into the hopper and then scooped out what was left and weighed them. The results are cook 1 ambient temp was 24 degrees and it used about 2.8lbs per hour...cook 2 today ambient temp of 52 and...
