    Brisket while at our church's Family Camp

    Excellent! I'll have to give it a try sometime. I use charcoal, so I wonder what it'd be like!

    Brisket while at our church's Family Camp

    How did the apple pies go over?? I've always wondered how 'campfire' baked goods would end up tasting.

    Cheese fail

    Who cares what it looks like! The taste is what matters! Lesson learned for next time - as you can always learn from a failure. Good at you for posting!!

    Salt, Pepper, Smoke. Stop the insanity!

    I'd be worried if it tasted otherwise!! I don't get why a lot of jerky has to have so much seasoning. I'm good with curing it, rinsing, and coating in pepper. KISS. Nice job!

    SMOKED PUMPKIN SEEDS?????

    Do yourself a favor and boil the seeds in salted water for 10 minutes, coat in oil/butter and seasonings, then throw on your smoker @ 250* or 300* until they reach your desired crispness! Boiling breaks down the 'goo' even further, and helps to make the shell more crisp for eating whole!

    Victorinox slicing knife, granton or not?

    I can't speak for the granton, but I love my smooth Victorinox. Good choice on getting the fibrox handles as well. Inexpensive knives, but they hold such a sharp edge if taken care of. Buy yourself some slip covers if you store in a drawer.

    Cabeza Tacos

    Ouch! That's crazy! I can get lengua for $2-3/tongue when I hit the local market shop we have. I think I bought 3 lbs of beef tallow, 2 trimmed beef hearts and tongues for a total of $20. I think he was just glad I was taking off with the product no one wants. Oh well! My gain!

    uds temps

    I can't speak much on the multiple inlets, as I have a single inlet @ 2", and a single exhaust @ 2", however; if you could answer a few questions we may be able to help you a bit better. When you're at 225*, is that wide open on both inlets and exhaust? Rule of thumb is to leave the exhaust wide...

    First Turkey Legs

    Man those look nice! My goal with turkey legs is to dry brine for a day, then smoke. If they come out tasting like ham, I've done my job!

    Cabeza Tacos

     I totally agree. I enjoy the selection that we have in our area. My family/friends don't get it, but I enjoy my lengua and cabeza tacos. In fact, I have two packages of local tongue in the freeze waiting for when I'm up on my feet again. All the spices and uses for them, and the fact that most...

    Different types of sugars....

    In that case, I totally agree in your sucrose/fructose statement. It's all the same to me. Sugar! Except for flavor and use, I don't think much of nutritional value in my rubs.

    Different types of sugars....

    Ok - bone to pick with this. Would you say the same about hops/grain for beer, or the beans for coffee? They're all the 'same' in the grand scheme of things - but it's the way that they're processed that matters. The concentration of the sucrose/fructose, the minerals from growing, the water...
