I don't have any pics, I am sorry. The other day I cooked some CSRs on the grill.  Nothing fancy, just a little butt rub.  They next day though.... We tore the meat off the bone and into little chunks, then let it simmer in some red enchilada sauce.  Holy cow.  These made great tacos.

I will go ahead and warn you I do not have any pics.  I suck, I know.  Boo this man. What can I say, this was an experiment on my part.  I thought sure, lets try this. So I made a bacon weave of 24oz of bacon, mixed together 1lb ground beef, and 1lb breakfast sausage, and filled the middle...

I have always said, the best part of smoking meat, is making tacos!  Points!

Yeah, next time I will let thaw.  I saw online where you could thaw in brine, and thought I would try it. We ended up eating it the next day (this was the only time I had to smoke them), and the skin was rubbery.  Kind of wasted my rub, because we just took the skin off. Other than that it was...

The weather is starting to get beautiful, and I have been itching to smoke more meat. I have also recently gotten a great deal on some whole chickens, 10 whole birds for $10.  Perks of living close to a few chicken processing plants, and having a friend with family in the business.  So I decided...

So I was wondering what are the best ways to preserve meat/smoked meat, in the event of a long term power outage, meaning we do not have freezers and fridges?  I am interested in multiple methods, some stuff I already know, but put all ideas out there.   I know smoke and salt keep away the...

  Sounds good though.

Smoked Mac and Cheese.  Smoked Baked Beans.  Or non-smoked.  I have just seen the smoked versions, and want to try them myself.  If you have the smoker going anyway....

When I do my Boston butts, I go by Alton Brown's Brine, and my own butt rub I make, and I put that sucker on the smoker at 225-250 until the internal reaches 200.  It usually takes about 8hrs.  I like to smoke heavily for half the time, wrap it in tin foil, then I might just finish it in the...

Granted I only read the first post, so maybe what I am saying is contradicted or discounted in the arguments above. I live in North Alabama, pork and chicken country, so I only find select or choice untrimmed full packer briskets.  I also will make a disclaimer that I have only done a handful...

While perusing the local grocery to decide what meat I wanted to cook for a Christmas party, I find pork loin on sale for $1.36/lb.  Score.  It was cheaper than the current price of Boston Butt.  I ended up with about 10-11 lbs for about $15! So I brined this bad boy over night in a mix of salt...

Never smoked my beans, but will next time.  I bet that taste great when the dripping go into them.

I have often thought that "Arby's Sauce"  contained cinnamon.   I have thought about doing it with a curry/garam combo, but garam masala might work.  I have never used the five spice though.

I wanted to smoke a butt or two, maybe some ABTs or a Fatty, for a Ugly Sweater party with some friends.  I have my regular rub mix I use, and love, never failed me yet.... ...but I have a curious nature, and seeing as how this is a Christmas event, I wonder how a butt would do with your...
