Pickling salt is better in brines because it dissolves in cold water. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

If I win the A-MAZE-N-PELLET-SMOKER Contest, I plan to smoke ____Rib Roast________ for Thanksgiving.

Oh, but my favorite BBQ beer varies by the time of the year.  I really like a nice porter with brisket, but don't care for them in the summer time.  I also have found IPAs, Pilsners, and Bocks to go well with Que.

Everyone knows summer shandy is for after mowing the yard. I tell ya, it's not the best beer, but when I'm burning up, I'll drink a million of those things. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

Also, we'll be in spot 512, if anyone wants to stop by. 

yeah, Bruno, I know it's a bit crazy.  However, I had been wanting to get into competing, but hadn't gotten a team finalized, and then my wife's work wanted to do it (they're inviting clients to their party Friday night so they can write it all off), and my wife signed me up (which is amazing of...

Who from SMF will be there?  I'm going to be cooking with a team my wife's work is doing, and I'm in charge of chicken.  First comp I'm ever doing, so I'm pretty excited.  Anyways, it would be cool to meet up with some SMFers out there next weekend!  I'll also be playing in the poker tournament...

I had a brisket that was stringy and hard to slice one time, what had happened was my thermometer was off, and I had way over cooked it.  I served it pulled, and while dryness wasn't an issue (I guess because I injected - I don't know, I was suprised, too) it didn't have the presentation that a...

Pulled pork tacos are easily my favorite use for leftovers.  Any mexican food will do, though.  They make great enchiladas, and simply amazing nachos too!

Another vote for Tapatalk if you are going to use your phone to browse SMF...I love that app.

I did my first overnight smoke last weekend when I needed to get 4 pork butts done by 1:30 at the latest for a work picnic.  I started my fire in my WSM at 11, using the minion method with some wood chunks buried in them to get them to light at different times.  I was in bed by 12:45, slept...

Last week at Sam's I got the 2 pack cryo pork butts for either $1.48 or $1.68/lb...I really can't recall which.  I also got a prime packer brisket for $2.48.  I'm almost scary surprised by what a prime brisket goes for there.  Makes me wonder, but I've seen it three times like that now (I really...

well, it had thawn out nicely this morning, so hopefully all is well.  Unfortunately it's raining, and I don't have suitable cover for my WSM to make this work....so, instead of Q-view, you get Oven View!  I know, not the same, but I promised pr0n, so here it is.... Going in the 300 oven...

I'm fully expecting that these may not absorb the brine quite right, but this is the situation I'm in.  I rarely get weekend days off, and when I found out I could take tomorrow off, I grabbed a couple whole birds out of the freezer, along with a prime rib roast I had in there.  That was...

Oh, man...The Peanut's wings are phenomenal.  Now I'm craving them....guess I know what I'm eating for lunch one day this week!
