Final Try on 05/03/'16: Thoroughly rinsed with cold water & then water soaked in a Pyrex glass dish, covered for 2-1/2 days in the refrigerator. Water was changed and brisket was re-rinsed 5 or 6 times during those 2-1/2 days. Final thorough rinse before patting dry and adding rub. Conclusion...

Thanks to both tropics and SmokinAl for the feed-back. I'm gonna' try it again while they're still cheap. I didn't think about changing the water during the soak since I thought that my 10 minute cold water rinse and massage would be enough. I'll be sure to rinse, soak longer and change the...

HELP! Any ideas or solutions will be greatly appreciated. My first attempt at Smoked Pastrami turned-out very tasty but extremely salty and I can't figure out why. Last night, until past midnight due to my unreliable smoke monitoring thermometer, I attempted my first Pastrami. I had a 3-3/4 lb...

First, If any of you have had a positive (And consumer verifiable) experience with Maverick I'd like to hear that feed-back too. Just in case that my experience is unique. The only good thing that I can say about Maverick is that I E-Mailed their "customer service" with the following message...

No sir! We filled each pie with the already cooked filling and basically let the microwave heat it up and bake the crust. We assumed that if we baked them before freezing we would have over-done Pot Pies. After reading your question I had some brief second thoughts especially after remembering...

I love Lamb! I love Smoked Lamb even more! I had to find a way to have my Smoked Lamb and eat it too whenever I wanted without the hours long wait for the smoking process to be done. Then, I came across this recipe and with my wife and I putting our heads together, we adapted it to accept...

Thanks! I'm getting ready to do the same thing for the first time and I dying to see how it turns-out. A local store has the Corned Beefs for $5.00 off per package right now and they tell me that they have a  few pallets in their cooler to sell at the reduced price. I found my original...

Sorry to bother ya' again Richie but I took a measurement off of my grinder and over-laid it on your pic. Our grinders seem to be nearly the same size. Mine measures 4-1/2" from face of grinder to the plate hold-down flange. When ya' get a chance, see if it is the same on yours, please. Our...

Thanks Richie: Very descriptive and informative. In our freezer I still have about 6 or 7 Lb. packages of Eckrich all-beef bologna (Baloney! as they call it around here. It's about the best we can get) that I got when Kroger had a 10 for $10 sale on it. Every time I fire-up my big smoker I...

I can't find a review or any independent (Non-manufacturer) info on this Camp Chef Pellet grill. If anyone owns on I would like their opinion. Woot has a deal on it today only that seems pretty good, seeing that the manufacturer wants $583.50 for it. Camp Chef SmokePro SE Pellet Grill, Black...

Thanks! Funny that you responded about the same time that my wife told me the same thing. I have a bottle of concentrated Black Cherry Juice in the 'fridge that I keep on hand for occasional gout flare-ups. She said to just add a tsp. or two to every 12 oz.

Jeff, (Or anyone else who has experience with"Soda Pop Injecting) 'bout Your "Cherry Dr. Pepper Injected Pulled Pork for Super Bowl" Recipe. Now that the weather is more conducive to outdoor smoking (Especially with holding a desired temp.) I have been wanting to defrost that Pork Butt in the...

No offense folks but, can we stop with the initials and acronyms? NFDM ! I had to stop reading, derail my train of thought and look it up (Non Far Dry Milk I'm guessing), lest I might miss something important in the instructions. I'm new to this forum but, I have found this annoying and...

Ron in Ohio Sez: (First posting after many months of trying to find my old set-up and finally creating a new one) For me, the user name came from not being able to use my usual user name, "Hoosier Ron in Ohio" which is actually a shortened version of "Ron - Hoosier born, Southern raised, now...
