    Lump Charcoal v. Briquettes - One Man's Opinion

    but are any of the "naturals" you mentioned added intentionally to human consumption products like vitamins or supplements? I didn't want to turn this into a natural or "organic" vs inorganic discussion. I understand your point, though. By the way, I just took my multivitamin which included...

    Lump Charcoal v. Briquettes - One Man's Opinion

    Is there some report that Borax is dangerous or unhealthy? I ask because boron is a common mineral I thought, its even used in agriculture as a fertilizer component I believe. Oldtimers surely must remember adding Borax 20 Mule Team to their home-grown tomatoes, no? EDIT: by the way, boron is...

    Has anybody used a Jaccard/Deni/MrBBQ 48-blade tenderizer...

    Ed, I use the 48-blade one, for $22.99 & free shipping (but you now need to buy $35 from Amazon to get the free shipping. It works great on steaks too, I always use it on flank & skirt/hanger steaks, especially tough, fibrous cuts. I don't know if you can actually prove 1 steak is better than...

    WHY do you let the bird dry in fridge after brining?

    Thanks Bimmer. I wondered if it had anything to do with the skin... my smoker only goes to 275 degrees. I wonder if I should throw it on the grill when it's near 160 to crisp it up?  It's a bone-in turkey breast, like a turkey without legs & wings, though the meat from the wing "drumstick" is...

    WHY do you let the bird dry in fridge after brining?

    WHY do you let the bird dry in fridge after brining? I have read this on a few sites that the bird should be put back in the fridge UNCOVERED for 6+ hours. Wouldn't this dry it out? I'm doing a bone-in breast and had it brining for 24 hours or more and put it back in the fridge in an aluminum...

    Help! Eye of Round Corned Beef

    What do you mean? Isn't the seasoning the corning or does it have to then be boiled to be corned? So I have smoked eye with corning seasoning? Or do I have Pastrami?

    WHERE TO BUY WHOLE BRISKET

    The Super Walmarts that sell meats usually sell them here. I am also a block or 2 away from a meat wholesaler that's been in town since the old stockyard days (gone for almost 50yrs) and Walmart's prices were cheaper. They also lower the price the closer they get to the Sell By/Use By date! Ask...

    Think FRIDGE conked out... Baby Backs safe?

    LONG STORY BUT YOU'LL LIKE IT AND I NEED HELP! This happened about a month ago, I scored about 6-8 racks of baby backs at the Price-Rite for $1.99/lb, couldn't believe it. Two packages, there were more but didn't have the $$$. Each pkg was around 8lbs. Anyway, that was on a Thursday I think. I...

    Where to find Apple Chips

    Here, try this: Try to find items that qualify for free shipping thru Amazon for orders over $25. I always have a running shopping cart, and I add & subtract things, then place an order. I recently got pecan in chunks that way. Plus Amazon has all kinds of cooking gadgets! I just got the...

    Brine Question

    I am only doing a 4lb breast this year, boneless. I have done it in the past (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/forum/thread/84496/turkey-breast) but don't remember if I brined the boneless version (I did brine a bone-in version, which is basically a turkey with the limbs removed.) My question...

    Smoked Mac n Cheese Recipes wanted.

    Being dry pasta, would it absorb any smoke? Does the smoke need to displace some kind of moisture to work?
