    La Caja China

    It seems like the inside would get drippings all over it and I imagine that would smell pretty funky if it were left closed up for an extended period.

    Big Green Egg

    The only two accessories you need are a platesetter for smoking and indirect cooking and a propane/mapp torch. Why use a chimney and have a hot ember fall on your nice gasket or deck or foot when all you need to do is hold the propane torch in two or three places for 30 seconds and leave it...

    Building another UDS FL Gators Style

    That was a pretty nice set up until somebody vandalized it with that logo. Maybe if you covered it with green it would look better. Orange and green is a much nicer color combo.

    Just a Little Info: Pork, The Other White Meat

    All right, picture this. A couple of cows carrying signs that say "Eat Mor Pork". How about "There's nothing I like more than pork on my egg". Now you know why I'm not in advertising.

    GOSMs at Walmart

    Try giving them a call. Sometimes they'll credit your account if you play dumb and say you forgot to put in the code. Hey, $20 will put a couple of racks of ribs in here for a trial run.

    Deep Fryed Turkey

    If something bad is going to happen it's when you first put the bird in the hot oil. Turn the burner off until most of the spattering stops and then re-ignite it and you've reduced the risk significantly. To the firefighters who've seen houses burned because of fryers, please tell us, was it...

    One ridiculous fatty

    So here I was discussing various potential fatty fillings with a co-worker when all of a sudden we happened upon an idea that seemed so ridiculous that it had to be done. Imagine a ground beef patty with an entire Happy Meal inside. Without the cookies of course. Then imagine it smoked and...

    Pick off the meat and add to macaroni and cheese along with a can of peas and you've got an instant meal.

    It has arrived!!!!!!!!! Sweet!!!!!

    I think there's been a mistake. You were supposed to get the deluxe model with the Schneider valve to improve smoke penetration. I ordered the basic. Now, if you'll just drop off my smoker, we'll be squared away. Seriously, it looks like your brother could make some serious pocket money on the...

    Compare Your Food or Not

    I'd put my meat against any restaurant any day. Even if it doesn't win, it'd come close. The problem is in the sauce. I've got a couple of good tangy one, but I can't find a sweet sauce that's not too sweet and yet perfectly flavored.

    Maple trees?

    Are all of the Maple varieties acceptable for smoking? I have a couple in my yard and never thought about it before. BTW, I'm in South Florida, so they're most likely Florida Maple.
