    Blue Rhino Razor portable griddle

    I've been deciding on which griddle I want. The Camp Chef was high on the list as is a Big Johns. The Camp Chef isn't really portable which is important to me and the Big Johns is uber expensive but I know it's commercial grade quality and built to be portable and take the abuse. I know because...

    Best ribs of my life........from a dude at a GAS STATION!

    Minnesota is pretty strict about these things. Can't believe this guy is getting away with it. Where up north is he located? I'm not going to be the one to turn him in I'm just curious as I am up north. I was cooking at my sons place down in Mpls. a few years back. Had my trailer rig parked in...

    What's so great about the Blackstone griddle?

    I just found the Camp Chef at $299 plus free shipping. $50 cheaper than Amazon.I'm so close to pulling the trigger right now but I've been looking at a 36" flat top from Big Johns the same place I bought my propane steam table from. My concern with the Camp Chef is I'm not certain how it's going...

    Operation BBQ Relief Houston

    I am a member of OBR and donate regularly. If I were retired which I will be in about 6 months I'd be in Houston with them right now with one of my rigs cooking.

    Fire out overnight - Brisket

    I'm always skeptical when it comes to this. Error on the side of safety is always a wise decision. Been seeing a lot of these threads where the set it and forget it set ups seem to fail,

    Enamel coated cast iron

    How did it go? I have the same enameled cast iron pot you do I think. Lodge? Mine is blue as well. I honestly don't use it much. Don't think I'd put it on the smoker. I use to put my steam table pans in the smoker but stopped doing that. They were a greasy smoky mess on the outside and a pain to...

    1st real event and overnight cook

    Looks like you got a good start. I always have about 40lbs or more of pulled pork in my freezer so when that comes up on the menu I'm already covered. I've done so many outdoor events. Last weekend was in a steady down pour all day. Supposed to be a family gathering of 30 to 40 but 17 showed up...

    Turkey breast purchase weight vs. actual weight

    Yep that's about what it runs sliced in the deli. I get it from the same food service company that they do except I'm sure they are buying it for half or less per pound than what I'm paying because of the volume they buy.

    Turkey breast purchase weight vs. actual weight

    When I get asked to do turkey breast for a wedding or other event I buy the pre cooked breast that they use in the deli for thin slicing and then sell by the pound. They usually come in at about 7lbs and are Jennie O Oven Roasted I believe is how they are labeled.. I think I paid about $4 a...

    Smithey American made cast iron

    If I have too much debris left in my cast iron I deglaze it while it's still hot. Wash your cast iron as soon as possible after use. I've let mine sit for a day or two before cleaning and it is harder to clean. You usually won't find any deals at most antique shops they know the value of most...

    Smithey American made cast iron

    I have several pieces of some cheap Chinese crap my wife picked up at garage sales over the years. They are major restoration projects as well so I'm not going to put that much time and effort into restoration just to wind up with cheap Chinese cast iron. $200 for a 12" pan sounds like a lot at...

    Smoking lean grass-fed beef brisket

    That is one lean looking brisket! I would try putting it on the smoker for 4 to 6 hours and then put it in a pan with some beef stock or some dark beer or both. Don't cover the pan with foil you don't want to braise or steam it. Maybe baste the top of the brisket with the pan juices...

    Brisket Quality pic

    Looks good to me. How's the flip side look?  I've never had prime but been thinking about ordering one from Creekstone. Always wondered if it's worth the extra money.

    Smithey American made cast iron

    Would you pay $200 for a 12" cast iron pan? That's what these guys are getting. I have a beautiful old 12" Griswold that I just love. But the old stuff is getting hard to find and if you do they want blood for it so in that sense paying $200 might be reasonable? I doubt I would sell my Griswold...

    Yoder Kingman

    I'm not familiar with the Yoder so I Googled it up. Looks like it would be great for most backyard smoking and light entertaining. Not sure I'd say it would fit the bill for catering for up to 150 people. Depends on what you envision doing. Taking it to off site parties and cooking there? Not...

    My new Chefs knife

    That looks sweet! Make sure you post pics of the finished product! I've been resisting buying knives. I actually have pretty decent knives for what I need but I do want to get some fancy steak knives. Lately I've been obsessed with cutting boards and live edge serving boards. Some pretty nice...

    To go Vertical or not?

    I have both style smokers. Horizontal offset and vertical offset. I much prefer my horizontal it is much easier to cook on and has a more even heat flow. In all fairness the fabricator who built my horizontal did a far better design job. My vertical had the exhaust mounted on one side so of...
