    Jeff's ABT's

    Japs seem to come with different heat zones. But, my experience so far has been that if I remove the seeds and veins, my ABT does not have heat. Just the delicious flavor of jalapeno..Have I been lucky??? I think it's my attention to removing the hot stuff.

    Pecans and Almonds

    Personally I think mesquite is to strong, but, if you only smoke for a short time.....it may be a perfect flavor. I smoke mine with hickory and I am down to 1-1/2 hr smoke because it is to strong at longer times.

    Smoked Rainbow Trout

    5 pounder??? That would be a nice fight. Only thing I would do different would be to leave the fish in one piece, head and all.......so I could savor every last morsel of that tasty trout. But then, I don't care for the dried out parts of smoked fish. Your smoke looks good and your brine looks...

    Is my maverick this far off??

    Another test you can do is the "ice water" test. Grind up a batch of ice into a slush, let it set for just a couple of minutes to really freeze the tad of water........then insert probe. That way you have a high and low.

    What do you use to slice yer bacon???

    Aaaaah!!!! It kinda sounds to me like there are several out here that have to shorten our slabs. Hey......these short bacon slices fit perfect on BLT's.........but maybe a little short for fully wrapping ABT's.........and I get more slices with my breakfast eggs. Thanks, Gary

    What do you use to slice yer bacon???

    Just curious on your method of slicing and maybe even size of the slab. I have a $300.00 cabela's slicer and it will only slice a slab maybe 8". So, I have been cutting my belly into pieces that will fit my slicer. Is that possibly what you guys with the smaller slicers do??? Thanks, Gary

    Sorry it took so long to get back here.  I never thought about the coarseness of NFDM and the use of a spice grinder. Thanks for all the feedback. Gary

    Barbacoa

    Sorry!!!! Not in my back yard!!!! I'll leave those portions for dog food and fertilizer. There are to many other choice meats on a beef. But then........this is only my opinion.

    What's a good tip for cleaning?

    If they are stainless steel...........give them a good cleaning by hand..........spray pam on them the next time you are going to smoke...........then afterwards put them in your dishwasher. I have a MES 40 and my grates come out super clean.
