    Should I tie the meat up?

    Trimmed most of the outside, as much silver skin as I could. Brined and injected with salt, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar for 24 hours. Local butcher didn't have lard so I attempted to put thin layer of stick butter on entire outside and then seasoned both sides and tied it. The butter...

    Should I tie the meat up?

    I shot a young doe this past winter and at that time smoked a whole hind quarter on the bone. One of the best things I’ve ever cooked. Brined it. I kept the other hind quarter whole but cut it off the bone for in the freezer. Currently have it in the brine for smoking tomorrow for my mother...

    What are you making for new years?

    Smoked or not, what are you making for new years? Friends of ours are having a small get together. I'm going to take smoked bbq shotgun shells. I think they are doing pizza, couple different dips, meat and cheese tray. The bbq shotgun shells should add a nice touch.

    Smoked Shotgun Shells question

    Friends of ours are having a small get together for new years. I threw out a few ideas and they said they'd like me to do shotgun shells. I did them a few months ago and the only issue I had was the ends of the shells stayed hard. This time around I'm going to boil the shells enough to start...

    High Winds - tie/strap your stuff down

    Sustained 25 with gusts around 50. I had it tucked up against the garage so I wasn't expecting the wind to get ahold of it.

    High Winds - tie/strap your stuff down

    High winds blew my Pit Boss Pellet smoker over on the front. The shelf was up so it buckled the barrel in at the bottom of the door and the shelf isn't folding down. Very frustrating. Hopefully I can get everything bent back to get sealed up good. Haven't used it yet to make sure everything...

    Welding Blanket - 2 thumbs up

    I was going to buy a Pit Boss insulated cover for my 800 series but couldn't find available anywhere. Decided to give the $35 Harbor Freight welding blanket a shot and WOW! I don't know how much better the name brand one could be but this was definitely worth it. The temp at 7am Sunday was 30...

    Was a Good Sunday

    Yesterday was a good day. Since it's getting cold and I also get very busy with work over the winter I decided to smoke a pork loin for lunch and a deer hind quarter for supper. Have another warm up meal of each this week and freeze the left to get out over the winter when I don't have as much...

    Pit Boss 850 Pellet Smoker - Insulated Blanket / Welding Blanket

    Anybody notice the insulated blanket for the 850 is non-existent? I can't find it available anywhere. Maybe it's because of the time of year. I really didn't want to make my own out of a welding blanket. Have any of you had negative results from making your own out of a welding blanket...

    Found My Favorite Quick Smoke

    Heck yeah. I don't watch much baseball but have paid attention this post season. Last night's game was wild. Was working on the car through the night (have a tv in the garage) so I was awake for the whole thing.

    Found My Favorite Quick Smoke

    Thanks for the kudos. It takes a bit of prep but otherwise it's nice how easy this is to make.
