    Jeff's QUE Sauce Recipe

    I've made it four times now and found that different brands of Ketchup made a big difference too, Heinz was the best and Cattleman's took forever to cook the Ketchup taste off of it. The best result came from separating the juice from the brisket pan and adding that to the sauce, I think Rich...

    How to keep boneless/skinless thighs moist?

    This will sound wierd, but others will back me up, I think they will anyway. Slather those things with MAYO before you smoke em! It will seal the meat but still allow the smoke to get in. Makes a great color and you will never tast the mayo itself. Its eggs and oil after all. I use it on all my...
