    Smoking steak

    A tri-tip (some consider it a roast, others a steak, me, I call it tasty) will do wonderful in a smoker.

    Welcome to SMF from Southeast Missouri, Josh! Tons of great information here! As stated, always smoke to internal temperature of... A Bluetooth or wi-fi thermometer will certainly help. I also agree with starting out with a Boston Butt/pork shoulder for your next go 'round. They are quite...

    Monday Ribs w/qview

    Looking good! I'll take a few bones, please. 😁 For the pieces you carved off, you can either make them the chef's 'test pieces', give them to your fur babie(s), or, and this is what I usually do, freeze them for sausage grind later on.

    NEVER change grandma's recipe - EVER.

    Been there, done that and with the same disastrous results. Good recipes are good for a reason.

    Lump Charcoal v. Briquettes - One Man's Opinion

    Lots of opinions out there, to be sure, and, I know this will likely strike a nerve with some folks here. That said, I've tried every one of these (and a few more I'll mention later) and, like most, I have an overall favorite, and a favorite I can get at any time. So, this is just my opinion...

    just say no to boar's head

    Used to be that whenever The Better 9/10ths was at the store she would buy some of the BH stuff for us. One day I bought a cheap EoR and she's never bought lunch meat again.

    meat shopping Thursday. win dick-me butt alert.

    Here in Pensacola, and where we used to live in Apollo Beach, Florida, there are stand alone butcher shops. Where we live now, there are several cattle processors and butcher shops. We're setting up our property to raise two steers, three little pigs, and dozens of meat chickens for our own...

    meat shopping Thursday. win dick-me butt alert.

    I have gotten to the point where I won't even bother with that store. At least they stopped calling themselves, "The Beef People". No butchers in sight.

    LSG or?

    I have a KJ Classic that I added an ash basket to. I can get it to 225° and hold it there for up to 18 hours with a full load of either KJ Big Block or Jealous Devil lump charcoal. The only time I have ever had to reload in the middle was when I first started out and was using briquettes. Even...

    ABT's anyone ?

    Heresy I tell you! 😁 Factory made and frozen can never be close to homemade, which, I'm sure never includes 'ingredients' whose names we can't pronounce.

    Herb-n-Garlic Smoked Pork Loin

    No higher praise than that! Me, I'm pretty good with the Q, and, like so many here, when we indulge in another's offering, we compare it to our own, and, sometimes we give props where props are due. Well done, Sir. Well done 👏
