    Smoked Ribeye - A Little differently

    Today I tried something different. At Christmas I got an Annova water immersion Sous Vide cooker. Having read that 4 hours in the water bath @ 130 degrees gives a fantastically juicy and tender steak, I tried it on several thick cut New York Strips, and the wife now wants it that way all the...

    SMOKED BRISKET CHILI

    Well, today I got talked into participating in a chili cookoff at work. Naturally I wanted to smoke something for it, so I popped in and typed "Chili" in the search bar and this thread popped up. In two weeks I'll be putting your recipe to the test! Now I just have to decide if beans will help...

    Costco Prime Brisket Franklin Style(Kinda) w-Q View

    You've inspired me to try another one, looks awesome!  I agree on the oven - did my first straight through using the pellet smoker, then afterwards realized I'd just used about twenty bucks of prime flavor pellets just heating the thing to finish!

    Anyone here own a Green Mountain pellet grill?

    Agreed - bought a Davey Crockett for the RV, and I am definitely the hit at the RV parks when I'm on the road! Amazing how 2 racks of ribs can draw a crowd far and wide. Last Thanksgiving I picked up a Daniel Boone to do the turkey in. Major hit with the family, everyone agreed that I would be...

    Bacon Cure containing White Pepper?

    Going to do my first bacon this weekend. Bought a nice looking 8 pound belly from Costco, and by the calculator will require 9.27 grams of #1, 65.6 grams of Salt and 37.2 grams of Sugar.  I plan on curing for 10 days, then cold smoking using Washington Apple overnight (12-15 hours), then give...

    First Brisket Sucess - but question if its worth it

    That's a great idea! - I'll do that next time now that I know that there is a layer of fat running down through the middle. I used Jeff's rub in this one, then followed up with a sprinkle of the Montreal Steak Seasoning. I really like that stuff, and will be using it more often now that I have it.
