    Sous Vide and smoked venison backstrap

    That is so funny you decided to clean out the freezer before deer season. I did the same thing this weekend. Since i was smoking ribs anyways, at the end of my ribs smoke, i put two back straps in the smoker at 225, for 45 minutes. No rub or sauce was applied.  I let the kids try it, and they...

    So what do YOU have planned for Easter Dinner?

    I did 2 Boneless Boston butts, and Corn on the cob that was soaked in water. Used both Cherry and Hickory wood. My daughter couldn't get her hand out of the pulled pork with BBQ sauce.  That's her hand in the photo. That corn was SOOO Good!!  so was the beer.

    Starting my first Brisket, Fajita style

    OK all.... I started smoking the larger brisket at 6:00 am, thinking it would take 10-12 hours.  Good thing I inserted a thermometer inside the meat, because it was done at 11:30 in the morning, and that was with an internal temperature of 180.  At one time, the wood in my FB got a little hot...
