    Sharing my chicken brine recipe

    I cringe about using tons of garlic salt with your brine. The garlic salt seasonings are loaded with salt.I might try this recipe but maybe with garlic powder. Any comments.

    Stove top smoker ?

    I can't get to my BBQ due to wheel chair limitations. I have a stove top smoker pan and the 6x9 Amazen smoker with lots of pellets. A friend is bringing fresh salmon form Alaska to smoke.

    Best BBQ in Every State - foodandwine.com

    I live in Palm Springs area and there is nothing out here. DIckeys has a couple of shops but they are bad, bad. No place to get a good brisket although a local market cooks tri tip every week end which is tasty.

    First "Successful" Brisket

    Hard to complain about price when ground beef is $6/lb and you are paying less than $4 for prime ! I have not seen prime brisket in Costco for some time and you can't buy just one>

    1st fullsized brisket

    I have yet to do a brisket but a few observations. On the man fire food show with Mooking, he has visited many smokehouses and very few wrap after smoking and no one, unless it's edited out, put their briskets in a cooler. These are busy smokers who do hundreds of pounds at a time-can you say...

    Any Shortages yet

    I am retired and limited to using store scooters so shopping options are somewhat limited. Costco has limited selection in southern cal, how about the rest of you ?

    Southern Cal ? Buying a hog is it woth it ?

    Ok, I am real rookie and am a tight budget. I am thinking about buying a whole hog maybe a half, and have it processed to manageable cuts. If I can split this buy with another couple and freeze the majority, does this like a smart buy? With this virus going around I was thinking the...

    Final Smoked Salmon with recipe, instructions, and Qview

    Bearcarver, what is the proportion of ingredients to weight ? The only salmon I can get in so cal is filets from Costco which I guess are 2-3 lbs. I'd probably use half for smoking to start with. This is a great tutorial, good job and will no doubt reduce failures in the future.
