    Any Ideas on an Elk Roast?

    Meat Hunter - Lets dont and say we did!!! Both of those ideas are very good... i may slice the roast in two and try both. But i do remember the old men at the hunting camp soaking the deer venison in milk before cooking. Thanks again for the ideas, first chance I will smoke this sucker and...

    Any Ideas on an Elk Roast?

    That doesn't sound bad. Would you suggest marinating it overnight it a mixture of olive oil & jeff's rib rub overnight? Or would applying the oil & rub directly before smoking be ideal? I found it interesting that you mop consisted of dr. pepper & soy sauce. I guess the key is to add...

    Any Ideas on an Elk Roast?

    I have been given an elk roast today and was pondering smoking it this weekend if I had a good opportunity. This also raises some questions: 1) What is a good rub mixture or marinade to use? 2) What temperatures should it get internally & is best when served med. rare / medium / done / etc...

    Question about Spare Rib Rub

    Directly from the "Wicked Bean Man" himself, thanks Dutch! What I will do is smoke em for 2 hours and wrap for an additional 2. They should be tender enough and taste great in your Wicked Beans.

    Question about Spare Rib Rub

    I do have one additional question... the skirt and tip trimmings.. should I smoke them for about 2 hours if I want to chop it up fine and add it to the wicked beans? I have some big pieces and small pieces so I was wondering what the best way to smoke them would be.

    Question about Spare Rib Rub

    I was thinking that it would be best to go with the 3-2-1 method, but I'm open for suggestions. I didnt want to use a finishing sauce for this. I wanted to taste the true flavor of the ribs so I can judge what to improve on. I would probably use sweet baby rays for a side sauce or any recipe...

    Question about Spare Rib Rub

    Hey guys, I'm smoking a couple racks of spares for the LSU vs. Miss. State game Saturday & I was a little curious about the best way to rub the ribs. I have already rubbed them, but I am afraid I used too much. Using Jeff's Rib Rub, I have covered the meaty part of the ribs completely. When...

    Pork Shoulder

    That copy/paste from dutch is great information. Do you guys ever rotate or flip the butt while smoking? Or is it best to leave the position alone?

    Treated Lumber Question

    Nothing brings out the taste of that pork like some good ol' Johnson's Water Seal. I like to mop my Boston Butt with a little brown sugar & 409.

    Treated Lumber Question

    Piney - Oh yes, there will be beer! I'm thinking of taking the staggered approach tonight. That is - Red Bull in left hand - Cold Beer in right hand.. then stagger away when the job is done!!!

    Treated Lumber Question

    I am only paying $50 bucks for the smoker, & it might not have even smoked with treated lumber.. but im going to fire the hell out of it, pressure wash it, give it a good wipe down, and season it again... I wanted to do some pork butts with it this weekend for the LSU vs Auburn game but it...

    Treated Lumber Question

    Thanks Piney. I hope they would have enough sense not to, but I have heard of someone using telephone poles treated with creosote. So I might just stay on the safe side and clean it up.

    Treated Lumber Question

    I'm looking at buying a char grill smoker at one hell of a deal. But in the picture I noticed a pile of cut 2x4 stacked underneath the pit. I haven't asked yet, because I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but I'm afraid they have been using those 2x4 for smoking meat. My question is "IF" they...
