    Pocket knife suggestions

    CRKT Executive is my daily carry. About $40. Serves me well as a very sharp daily carry. My truck knife is a 5-6 year old Ka-Bar. My 57 year old Ka-Bar resides in a display case. Toughest knife made.

    Something a Little Different

    At 204F the porky came off and rested for 45 minutes. This way of preparing a boneless pork shoulder does not produce the heavy bark and smoke ring that you'd get with a bone-in portion. There's a light hickory smoke flavor and the apple cider and spice packet lends a very light Christmas ham...

    Something a Little Different

    I have a five pound boneless pork shoulder and decided to do something different from my traditional Eastern North Carolina pulled pork. Here's the plan.

    MES w/ mailbox vs Recteq

    I've been Rec Teq user for more than a year now. No issues. The biggest plus is it's ability to hold a set temperature for as long as you feed it pellets. I've even run it at 700f to do pizza. If you're looking for a smoker that puts out coal train quantities of smoke this ain't it.

    Go to dessert?

    Go to? Pineapple cake. Two layers of yellow sponge, box mix soaked with the juice of a large can of crushed pineapple. Mix the strained crushed pineapple with a large container of Cool Whip for the frosting. Quick, cheap, good.

    In ground smoke house???

    Traditional smoke houses had dirt floors that were 12 to 36 below ground. The fire box was three or more feet away, far enough for the smoke to cool. There are a couple of YouTube videos showing how folks in NC smoke hams using traditional methods and smoke houses.

    BEEF SHORT RIBS

    Short ribs have good beefy flavor, but IMO need to be braised to be tender. I suppose that once braised you could smoke them, keeping the ribs in braising liquid of course. Short ribs, like many other cuts of beef were once cheap, but too many trendy chefs have pushed the price up.
