    Pecan flavoring?

    Hello all, My wife and I were out to eat over the weekend. She ordered a pecan pulled pork sandwich. This was not from a BBQ joint, more of a bar/grill type place. I must admit it one of the better pulled pork sammy's I have eaten. The meat had a pecan type flavor to it. Does this come just...

    Bacon questions

    I have a couple pieces of pork belly in a batch of pops brine. I am wanting to smoke these after they have been in the brine for about 2 weeks. Do I need to soak them in clean water? Also it is getting hot out is it safe to cold smoke or do I need to hot smoke? Thanks for the help.

    Beef Tongue Tacos

    Those look great. Only had it once. Thought the flavor was good, but the texture was rubbery. I would definately go for those. Good job.

    Advice-Brisket on a pellet smoker...

    I made one recently on my green moutain grill. I ran it at 250 and when it got to the stall I put the brisket in a foil boat. At the end of the cook I put the brisket in the foil boat in our oven at 170 overnight till lunch time. Ended up tasting great and we were all happy.

    Creosote??

    I threw a bunch of leg quarters on my pellet grill last weekend. The entire grill grate surface was covered with the chicken. Ran the grill at 225 for a bit then turned up to 350 to finish things off. When I pulled the chicken the pieces on the left side of the firepot and side opposite the...

    Fresh ham steak???

    Update: I put the ham steaks into Pops Brine Monday afternoon and pulled them Friday morning. I put them on the smoker for about 1.5 hours and pulled at 145 degrees. They turned out fine and tasted great.

    Fresh ham steak???

    I sliced off a piece and fried it up. It is fresh and not cured at all. Would I be wrong to try and cure them at this point as I like a cured/smoked ham steak?

    Fresh ham steak???

    These came from a hog that we had butchered. There is only a stamp that says fresh ham steak. To me the meat looks "fresh" and not cured or smoked.

    Fresh ham steak???

    I was cleaning the freezer today and found three packages marked Fresh Ham Steak. I am thawing them now and they appear to be like any other ham steak I would buy at the store, however I am assuming that as labeled as "fresh" this means they have not been cured? If this is the case any ideas...

    Wanting to make sausage hotter

    Update. I ended up going with cayenne. It was a 5# batch. Used 1/2 pork, 1/2 beef. I used the pre mixed seasoning and added a few Tablespoons of cayenne. I sampled one and the heat seemed good. Thanks for all the replies.

    Wanting to make sausage hotter

    I am getting ready to make a batch of hot links. Nothing fancy here, just grind my meat and I bought a seasoning packet. We like things hot and I don't think the packet will bring the heat. I have some ghost pepper wing dust. Can I add this or will it mess up things? Am I better adding cayenne...

    Eye of round Pastrami, mucho q-view!!

    SmokinAl, I am going to start this recipe this weekend. Questions, you used raw sugar. Can I use brown sugar? Is there a difference? Also after I inject and put into the brine how do I know how long to soak? Is there a table I need to refer to? I think this is gonna be stellar!
