So when I started 2-3 months ago i probably did what every lack of knowledge rookie does. I saw a video on youtube that had in it "this video sponsored by "insert name here" so I went shopping to get into the hobby buying various mixes, home packs of casings :( (Hanks from now on) etc...
First, we've all been there. I almost lost my Man Card first time I "smoked" ribs. It was ugly.
Now I pretty much follow the advice given me so many years ago, echoed here by Crazy. I now know so much more about smoking, thanks to the fine people on SMF, to the point where I know when I can...
Being a Virginia boy, culturally appropriating anything Texas could get me in trouble, but I just thought the name was appropriate.
I was convinced to try white corn tortillas after telling someone here I didn't like soft corn tortillas. Well, that trial made me love dry fried white corn...
depends on temp, I would look at the thread that @JLeonard posted above and follow what @crankybuzzard mentioned about when done. Some do the 3-2-1 method which is 3 hours unwrapped, 2 hours wrapped in foil with some liquid, sauce (if wanted) and finish for one hour unwrapped. You also...
Have not done ribs in my Bradley in a very long time so I went to the store and all they had was side ribs. Not a big deal to me. Decided on the 3-2 1 method. Also decide when it came time to wrap them I would use butcher paper. These have to be some of the best ribs I have ever cooked in the...
Say this thread and just wanted to post a question and get thoughts and or anwsers on the 3-2-1 method. I have seen videos from pit masters who don’t seem to fond of this common rib cooking method. Was wondering any thoughts and what you think the benefits and negatives of doing this method. Thanks!
For those that haven't had the opportunity to make over the top chili it's simple and straightforward. I won't claim to have the best recipe. Most will already have one. This method will make it better, IMO.
I make batches were 3 lbs. of hamburger make up about 1/2 the volume. Make one big...
The bark is about as delicate as when steaming, but it sets up quickly. Think of a pressure cooker as hi-temp steam. 🤣 The higher temp in a pressure cooker will sometimes darken the bark a little. Here is a close-up of some pastrami cubes.
Here is my corning brine:

Well, as to not take up space on the home page. Did my slab of babys, using Kinsford professional. First obsrevance was how small the briquettes were. They were very dense though.

Looks good to me Charles . Nice job bud .
Comes with practice . Here's how I do it most times .
I leave some casing on the open end . Then I go through the length and just get an idea of where I want to twist , by pinching the spot . No twist .
I work the sausage towards the open end as I go...
Decent price on whole birds last week . Already had 2 in the freezer , but couldn't pass up a couple more .
Just spun one on the Weber a week ago , then did some BBQ legs .
So I wanted to do something different .
Decided on meatloaf . Had a general idea , but found a recipe / method on America's...
Correct, and I agree John. That is a gradient cure. In todays age I steer people away from them because of the learning curve there. You are on your game for sure. Love the conversation.

I doubled and followed this recipe, carnation.co.uk/recipes/key-lime-pie-recipe, using the same number of ordinary limes, measuring the juice and using the same amount of bottled lime juice. I then added a bit more just to use up the bit that was left in the bottle. I left it in the fridge for...
In response to all of the excellent cautions in this thread:
1: know your oil level with the water displacement method
2: dry the bird off before you fry it
3: dip it at 350f to start with the fire off, and not on your wooden deck.
4: Buy a CO2 fire extinguisher of sufficient size to get you...
