    AI food prep robots

    I see they are both highlighting this year’s hot marketing term, AI. I doubt that artificial intelligence is needed for either, simply programming in the algorithms for the various dishes would suffice. I’m sure they will find a niche; plenty of people like expensive kitchen gadgets and see...

    You Know You Live In A Redneck Town….

    NJ does that in a number of places; your mailing address is in a different county than where you reside. Maddening. And in some pretty upscale places, too, so not a lot of rednecks. I've no problem with jury duty, but for over a decade when I still lived in NJ I didn't get to serve...the...

    Playa Del Carmen Suggestions

    I've not stayed there, but I've passed through a number of times. If you want to see some very cool Mayan ruins out of town, Tulum to the south is great, and Chichen Itza to the west is spectacular. Xel Ha, a kind of ecological amusement park, is also to the south, before you get to Tulum...

    Summer Throwdown Winner

    I knew from the photo that it was going to be a substantial blade...imagine my concern when Amazon dropped off the box. I thought they had mistakenly shipped a Dalstrong machete. Yep, the knife was the only item in that box.

    Summer Throwdown Winner

    Thanks, @bmudd14474, and the judges and to the forum for hosting. Congratulations @civilsmoker ! Admittedly, our entry got way out of hand. We knew the competition would be fierce. We knew @civilsmoker was probably going to enter... We knew we needed something out of the ordinary to make an...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I'm a research chemist by training, and I like smoking food. The screen name is pronounced "smoke 'em". Before moving back west, my wife and I had dabbled in a few BBQ contests, so that's the name I registered with KCBS.

    Sauerbraten for Oktoberfest

    This was a top round, which worked well. I’ve used eye of round before, and I had one in the freezer, but I prefer using that cut for jerky.

    Sauerbraten for Oktoberfest

    We have some great local Oktoberfest celebrations near us, and as enjoyable as they are, I still make sure to put one together at home. Sauerbraten is always on the menu; the beef was marinated in red wine/red wine vinegar with sliced onion and the appropriate spices for 4 days before going...

    What do you put on your basic hotdog mustard or ketchup?

    I’d never put ketchup on a hot dog. And I’d never put mustard on a hamburger I’m pretty open to most any other toppings though.

    PIA Chicken Thighs for WOMD

    Ah, yes. competition chicken thighs. That process has been a winning formula at countless contests. And I can confirm that removing the skin from chicken thighs, scraping off every bit of subcutaneous fat, trimming everything into a neat rectangle then reassembling to make perfect little...

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    Yea, NO. I like Crown. I like chocolate. I'm gonna continue to enjoy them separately.

    Hatch Chili's are still available!

    I was in our local Fred Meyer (part of the Kroger family) this morning, and was very surprised to see a huge display of mild and hot hatch chilis, 49 cents/pound! They looked fresh as could be. Didn't expect to see them this late, this far north. I've already got a freezer full, plus some...

    Need Someone who has made the Spicy creamy slaw from the book Smoking Meat

    Thanks for checking. I've not yet made that recipe, but I'll be sure to correct it in my copy of the book once you come back with your preferred amount of cumin. I've already corrected the smoked cream cheese recipe to note that cream cheese does NOT melt easily on the smoker...no need to...

    Good shrimp on grill recipe?

    The suggestions already posted here will serve you well. But a fun variation takes advantage of how nicely a shrimp wraps around a disk of andoiille on the skewer Photo credit to Gimme Some Grilling website
