    Does Applying Rub Day Before Help?

    It is one of those questions that you will never know unless you try it yourself and see. I have tried it both ways. For larger amounts of meat (size wise) like pork butts, I see no difference at all. For steaks, I see a difference by allowing the rub to marinate the meat. However, I think...

    Stubborn Butts!

    It depends on how you like the bark. I pull mine around 170, put in a pan in the oven with foil over top and finish up to 200. I have found the bark softens up and I can incorporate much more into the finished product. But, those that love the crunch need to keep it on the smoker for the most...

    Good smoked steaks but need suggestions w/Qview

    Here is how I do our steaks and they are a HUGE hit. Now, I only do them with ribeyes but whatever you use, you want them at least 1" thick so you can cook longer on the smoker to get more smoke to them. First, the night before I rub them with olive oil. I then sprinkle magic dust all over...

    Fantastic London Broil w/Q-View

    If you have Safeway in your area, that is the place to get them. They have them on sale at least once a month for $1.69/lb or something like that. I went to safeway.com and signed up so I get an email when they sales are and i can view the flier online before going to the store.

    Stuffed Pork Loin With Q-View

    Thanks guys! Basically, cut it in half, horizontally. Go to you are about 1/4" from the other side. Then, just open it like a book. Then you have to pound it until it is 1/4" thick all the way through, throughout the whole loin. I used a dough roller as it let me take out some frustration...

    Stuffed Pork Loin With Q-View

    My chef friend gave me a 20" pork loin to test out a recipe with. So, yesterday it was too windy to ride the motorcycles and I decided to give it a try. Cut almost in half, opened up like a book. Trimmed fat and pounded to about 1/4" thickness. Mushroom, shallots, 1/4 cloves of garlic...
