    Beef Chuck Underblade CSR's in the Gourmet Charcoal: Q-view

    These look sooo good.. but I am just horrible when it  comes to working with beef - except for a corned beef pastrami I did a few weeks back which was delish. However, any other cut of meat (save for steaks and burgers) comes out dry-dry-dry.... and I despair of ever making beef ribs that are...

    My First Rub

    I checked at our local markets, and all I find are the powdered onion and garlic - though they do carry dehydrated onion. Do you order your online or...? I'm about to try my first turkey smoke... and would like to use some onion flavor in the rub for it...

    RUB SNAFU!

    The old-fashioned method - stick a slice of bread in with your rub. I do that with my brown sugar and it never clumps up on me - have done it with rubs, too. Also, it's a way to get some interesting flavors into your sugar or rub - try a dark rye with caraway or a sourdough - plain old italian...

    My First Rub

    Dumb question, you'd think I'd know this, but... Is there a difference between granulated garlic/onion and garlic/onion powder?

    Sugarfree Sauces,Marinades

    Was just diagnosed w/ Type II diabetes myself earlier this year - low-carb and sugar-free (or at least low sugar!) is what I'm experimenting with now. Been able to come up with breads, cakes, cookies and other normally "forbidden"-type treats - which taste good and you wouldnt' know the...

    Backyard competition. What do I need?

    Because I like to throw largish gatherings - I bought a Nesco some years back for large quality food production since i only have a tiny kitchen and apartment-sized oven - and, lo and behold, it came with the food warmer inserts - and I have been utterly thrilled ever since. I use them...

    Exploring the possibility of selling 'Que as a side business

    Didn't see any replies to this - so, anyone have any input? I have some experience with restaurant cooking (15 yrs) and cooking for large gatherings (most of my adult life!) - so I think that aspect of things I could handle. I've also worked in large venues such as firemen's picnics and such, so...
