    Texas Is BACK!!

    Remember people, Just breathe. Abbott did not say "NOT to wear a mask" Again, please stop listening with half an ear. What he said was that due to the efficacy of the vaccine, the lowering number of affected people and the lowering death toll, he was only removing the "MANDATE to ear masks, and...

    Making Lox a picture guide.

    I too am wondering why the original images on the op aren't coming through. Could it be the Photo bucket fiasco?

    Question on pressed Jerky and results

    I think I'd use parchment paper rather than wax. It's made to cook on and will not transfer any undesirable flavor/wax to your meat.

    Should Smoked meat be bloody?

    Not sure what your friend gave you, but unless it was killed within 24 hours of you getting it, it wasn't "blood" you were seeing. Here's a little primer on the proteins that make up what we call meat - Muscle cells. Muscle cells are more frequently called muscle fibers because they are shaped...

    Time to split some hickory..

    Grate looking meat load!( pun intended, lol) How long did the crown roast take? I always do a rib roast for New years day but this year I'm splitting 20 lbs between a roaster and my smoker. 10 on the smoke and 10 in the roaster. I did a 5-6 lb one last February that took 4 hours to get to 135 at...

    Modded Dyna Glo smoker

    I have the dyna-glo also and am thinking about enclosing it in a frame along with my charbroil infra red grill to make an "outdoor kitchen" I am thinking about using fire brick but I like the idea of the insulation better. Less weight. I don't think the steel tubing is necessary though, just...

I double wrapped her in a blanket and an old terry cloth robe, placed her in a smaller igloo and placed the top on for the long awaited rest. went to bed and got...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    The cuppa idea, even though it was great to see the In Law's after them being away for the winter, was not a good idea! When I got home (an hour and a half later) the CC temp was way down, 165 and falling and they only had a little bit of lump charcoal left. so, I dumped the remainder of the...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    I've done perhaps a hundred "butts" over the years and have used many techniques. I've smoked 50 at a time over a brick pit with 14in. sheet steel covers  and used green pecan. I've used many different HOG (horizontal offset grills) and used dry Oak. I've used UDS (Ugly Drum Smokers) and...
