    MEATER vs Maverick

    I am currently smoking a pork butt, and I got a meater for Christmas and figured I’d give it a try. I’ve had the Maverick for 7-8 years and it’s always worked perfectly. Same piece of meat, almost the same spot in the meat. One says it’s done, the other says it’s not...which do I believe?

    Wild Turkey breast wrapped in bacon

    Man, my mom even loved it, and she “doesn’t eat” wild game. The bacon definitely kept the breast moist. I think hot and fast is the key when smoking poultry. Low and slow dries it out.

    Wild Turkey breast wrapped in bacon

    Fellas, I’m gonna tell ya what...not to toot my own horn, but that may be the best thing I’ve ever smoked. Hot and fast on a Weber Smoky Mountain to a temp of about 163. It was fantastic.

    Wild Turkey breast wrapped in bacon

    I rubbed two wild turkey breasts and wrapped them in a bacon weave. Gonna smoke them over apple and hickory tomorrow. More pics to come! First time I’ve ever smoked wild turkey. Hoping it turns out good!

    Reheat a Fatty in a crockpot?

    i am tailgating this weekend for a college football game. Staying at the hotel across the street from the stadium all weekend. I was thinking about cooking a fatty ahead of time, but I’m not planning to take a grill. Wondering if it would be possible to wrap it in foil and reheat it in a...

    Venison Tenderloin

    What temp did you run the smoker? How long or what internal temp? That looks amazing. I've always wanted to try smoking a tenderloin but always afraid of ruining it

    First Time Smoking Quail

    Brined them overnight in apple juice, water, salt, and brown sugar. Rinsed and dried them, sprinkled on some Jeffs rub, and wrapped them in bacon. They'll hit the smoker this afternoon. Never smoked quail before, but I have to think anything wrapped in bacon will be good, right?

    Spicy summer sausage opinions needed

    I was a wimp and did 2T in 15lbs of meat. Will report back on how it turns out. It'll be ready to stuff in the casing Wednesday and hit the smoker on Thursday.

    Spicy summer sausage opinions needed

    I've done a search and haven't found anything on this specific topic, so here goes. I'm making summer sausage and have had several requests to make it HOT. I've used jalapeños in the past and I've also experimented with crushed red pepper. The jalapeños never seem to get it hot enough, and I...

    Venison Backstrap

    I like to marinate mine in equal parts Italian dressing and Dales seasoning and add a little red pepper flakes to taste.
