    Pork Injection

    Right, finding your personal sweet spot within the recommended amounts, is key when using seasonings or additives like this. That said... the website mentions 1-TBS per gallon, so that must be the bare minimum to use. Directions (from the Amazon page for PhosThis) Use approximately 4.5-9g...

    Pork Injection

    Thanks. Included your comments to my injection notes. By the way, I emailed Bill Ames, and he confirmed that AmesPhos and PhosThis were exactly the same, and came from the same manufacturer. I've used AmesPhos for quite some time. There are several phosphate products on the market by...

    Pork Injection

    How did you arrive at the amount of STTP? The amounts from Ames Phos and PhosThis are 4.5g to 9g per pint of liquid, and I've gone with the 5g per pint of liquid.

    Fruita Wood is Back

    I got an email today from Fruita Wood, a top notch flavor wood supplier from Fruita, Colorado. A favorite with intermountain BBQ competitors and backyard cooks alike. I thought they went out of business, but maybe they are back?? For years, a group of us took turns making group orders, so...

    Cold Smoking Salmon in Hawaii?

    Unless the fillets are really thick, your total smoke time will be between 2 and 6 hours, unless you are going for a heavier smoke. One thing you could consider is removing the thinner tail section, and slicing the remaining fillet into strips. This gives you more surface area. On occasion I...

    Once Again.... Double Smoked "Carver Hams" ~ But NOW For Easter Gifts ✔️

    I sprinkle cracked pepper on most of them, but it's more for appearance. I smoked a couple for a friends wedding anniversary and he made a glaze recipe with sugar, honey, butter and maple syrup. He had a little bottle so people could drizzle it on slices. Thanks for the kind words. The...

    Once Again.... Double Smoked "Carver Hams" ~ But NOW For Easter Gifts ✔️

    My Sam's Club got a shipment of Carver hams two weeks ago. These guys usually are only stocked between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and as many of you know.... I make annual holiday gifts with them. So, on an impulse... I stocked up with Easter in mind. Frankly, at ~$13/each these are roughly...

    Pickle juice brine?

    Montreal is my go-to seasoning on a variety of beef cuts I grill, bake or sous vide. I like the coarseness as well as the flavor profile. Several manufacturers have an "Olde Canadian Chicken Seasoning", that is designed for chicken... but also good on pork.

    Pickle juice brine?

    I've brined wings in pickle juice which are really good, maybe add some crushed garlic and/or ginger. Pickle juice is really good as a spray for barbecue beef, like plate ribs or brisket.

    I had a time gap in owning a kettle, and when I jumped back in... I went for the SNS mainly for features.

    I'm pleased for sure. Last night we made a Cobb salad.

    Double Smoking a Turkey Breast ??

    Well, this turned out to be a great experiment. As dense as these type of roasts are, I knew the peppery and smoky flavors would be limited to the surface... and I really liked the combination. The cradle was not necessary to keep the roast together, but is was super handy for spinning the...

    Double Smoking a Turkey Breast ??

    I've had these many times before, but sliced cold for sammies or in a cobb salad and didn't pay that much attention. However, when seasoning this one, the firmness / tightness was fine, so we'll see. That said, the cradle makes spinning it 180° a breeze. I was headed toward the mayo, but the...

    Double Smoking a Turkey Breast ??

    Well.... I'm watching March Madness and the weather. We're getting rain/snow and I'm waiting for everything to lighten up. Here is the what I'm working with as far as a cradle. With 4 cuts I could even close up the ends. Or use some stainless wire to snug up the sides.

    Double Smoking a Turkey Breast ??

    Oh yeah, we're on the same page in my playbook. I'm sure J Pepin (His at-home videos are wonderful) and Julia exchanged Christmas cards. I've met her... Good observation 👍. I mis-spoke, and yes... this is a high quality "deli-style" product. I just want to improve it. And I will...

    Double Smoking a Turkey Breast ??

    I personally have never made a turducken but I have boned out whole chickens and turkeys. Sometimes un-stuffed and sometimes stuffed with pre-cooked sausage mix. When sliced, you get a mix of dark and white meat. Here is a really good video, I think I followed a Julia Child cookbook.
