    Going to smoke some wings, legs, and thighs, should I brine?

    Hey Chorizo - I definitely recommend Tip's Slaughter House brine.  Been using it for quite a while and it makes a BIG difference. RE: What to use, I use a plain Jane, none scented, white trash bag.  Get the air out and put it in a smaller cooler covered with ice.  If the trash bag bothers ya...

    Smoked Ham with Q-View, inspired by SmokinAl

    Dang, Tee! You knocked that one outta the park!  Good for you tackling a raw ham.  I've "reheated" a bunch in the smoker.  Been playing around with curing ham steaks this summer and may have to just pick me up a ham after seeing this post. Great job

    Roasting green chiles...mini Q-view

    Very nice, D!! Nothing beats a fresh roasted green chile.  Me and Bassman roasted our first picking a couple of weeks ago.  We had enough we didn't worry about weighing them...! First picking - right at nine buckets - here's some of them. Nice peppers this year - these were a good average...

    Venison Bacon

    T - it is more of a summer sausage/salami taste than bacon, bacon.  This is our second batch.  On the first, I think both of us expected the "bacon" taste and were initially a little disappointed.  Once we got it through our skulls that it weren't... we hell, we made a second batch, right!! It...

    Brisket, Butts, and Yard Bird

    Thanks a lot, Eric - it all turned out great. Here's the wrap up post.  I didn't get any chopped pictures of the chicken - got way too busy. Here's the brisket cold sliced this morning - waiting for some top rack reheat action. Yard Bird!! Brined for 12 hours using Tip's Slaughter House...

    A really good guy that works for me is hosting his son's first birthday and baptism bash this weekend and asked me if I would "smoke up some stuff for about a 100 people".. HELL's YEAH! I says... so I took the day off and I'm going with brisket, butt, and some yard bird. Picked up three packers...

    Venison Bacon

    Well, I gotta say - Keith is being a little modest when he losely tosses around the word "elk"... what we used was prime ELK TENDERLOIN...  I've known Keith for some time now, and when he says, "Get that !@#% back outta your truck or I'll shoot.."... I get that !@#$% back outta my truck and WE...

    Cold Smoke Generator

    I was asked by a member to re-post this. I know there are many different designs of these, just thought I would share this simple one. Had a chance to play with the plazma cutter as well! Built this for the neighbor who primarily grills with gas and has two Weber Kettles - he's not really into...

    Thanks everyone!  It's one of those hard but fun projects that you can't wait to start... then can't wait for it to be over!! Here we are at the nine hour mark - panned and foiled and waiting for 195* to kill the smoker and let them sit a while. RB - We are going to vacuum seal and freeze...

    2011 March Of Dimes Event

    Hey SMF, this is will be the second year I've helped a local March of Dimes group with a BBQ fund raiser. Last year I smoked 10 butts and 108#'s of chicken thighs. We had a great turn out and support from the community - even a couple of members  (Mr Bassman and Mr Bbally) attended  - so we are...
