    Preserving basil?

    To add/combine a couple comments. Wife makes pesto from our basil and has always put the mix in ice cube trays and freeze. After frozen take them out of the trays and place them in freezer bags and back into the freezer until needed.

    Drum Smokers and my first competition

    Brain, your entries look nice and you went in with the right attitude. Need to evaluate what went wrong in the judges eye and work on that. IMO a sign of a great cook is one that know his/her audience and prepares the food in accordance. Another summer is only 6 months away and time to hone...

    Need Help on Freezing

    Your idea will work. What I do when I make my own ground meat, sausage and even veggies to put in the freezer, I use zip lock bags for freezer use. The freezer bags are thicker than normal "sandwich" bags. Never a problem even when storred over numerious months. Been doing it that way for...

    The Rules - SMF Guidelines

    Glad to see some rules posted. I can live with them and I'm sure most others can as well. Liked the Family Friendly comment. We need to be respectful of others on the forum who may have young'ns watching and prefer a little less course vocabulary than some of use use at times.

    Pork shoulder

    Even when the smoker is not in use, when I walk by the smoker, sometimes I open the door and take a smell. Nothing better.

    Pork shoulder

    It's thin enough it hard to capture in the pic. My concerns have been the smoke doesn't look blue to me but always light. Over the few yrs I've had this smoker the somewhat sticky build-up on the cabinet walls has always had me wondering if I was doing it right, no creosote. Never used...
