    Scrumptious Pork Belly Burnt Ends... With Bonus Package

    Looks beyond awesome! Pork belly burnt ends are on my short list to make. Think I'm making them for Labor Day weekend. I'm trying to stay out of a rut and looking for different things to make besides the standard bbq fare. I cook for a lot of events during the summer so it's always the usual...

    Wash, Rinse and Sanitize...How on site?

    I have a polycarbonate prep table on my trailer rig. I usually have a large roll of butcher paper with me that I cover it with when I'm using it for seasoning ribs or whatever. When finished I throw the paper away and wipe the table down with those Clorox kitchen wipes that contain bleach...

    Do NOT use wire brushes to clean your grill / smoker...

    I have had one of those. They gunk up easily and are rendered ineffective.

    Franklin BBQ massive fire over night

    Sounds like a pit fire. Restaurant is ok just minor smoke damage. Shouldn't keep him closed very long at all.

    Brisket Prep

    I usually do all my trimming/seasoning before I fire up the smoker. Takes my smoker about 45 to a hour to level off at temp then in goes the meat and pop goes the cap on the beer! I like using a good beef rub like Brisket of Love rub from the Spice House or Black Ops rub from Oak Ridge BBQ...

    Do NOT use wire brushes to clean your grill / smoker...

    I've been using the Char Broil Cool Clean brush. It has nylon bristles instead of wire and they are red so if any get left behind they are easily seen. You clean your grates while they are cold. I found it actually works better when they grates are cold they char and junk breaks off the grates...

    How long to wait to use wood

    I have a wood crib that I dry mine in. The cold dry winter air here will dry it out pretty quickly. I buy a cord that's quarter split in fall put it in the crib for the winter and I can use it the following summer.

    Franklin Smokers

    Interesting. Everything I seen Franklin smoke on is pretty down home made rusty crusty old propane tanks. Nothing fancy, nothing aesthetically pleasing about his cookers. A 72" long smoker that holds only 3 briskets?? Should be interesting to see what he comes up with.

    Brining Pork

    Holding should pose no problem as long as properly refridgerated. Try substuting half the water with apple juice or some other juice as long as it's not grape or cherry. The meat will take on the color of the juice. I did pork chops in brine this weekend and I used peach/mango/apple juice along...

    No Wrap Ribs

    I stopped wrapping ribs a long time back. I have a better result without wrapping. imo. Nothing against those who do I've seen some pretty good ribs here that were wrapped, I've become a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my smoking. No fancy electronics other than a Thermapen. I do pan pork...

    I've Been Challenged ...

    Pan your butt at 165 internal. Do not cover. Add 8 ounces of dark beer or so to the pan. Keep a eye on it so it doesn't evaporate out add more if needed. Keep it this way until target temp of 205 or so. Rest for as long as possible. Pull the pork in the same pan and it will absorb all the juices...

    15" Paella Pan(s) - Great Accessory for 22.5" Weber Kettle and WSM

    I have steam table pans of all sizes and use them all the time but these look like they could come in handy. I quit putting my steam table pans in the smoker they just got to be a pain to clean all the grease off from sitting on the racks. I purchase foil pans for anything that goes in the...

    Vacmaster VP112

    Having the same problem with my Duo550. At first I thought I must be doing something wrong in my technique. If I seal 15 3lb bags of pulled pork about 8 of them will have a nice tight vacuum and good seal. The others will leave some air in the bag. The settings are all to the recommended...

    Probably one of the nicest rigs I've ever seen!

    You're safe for now. After a few email exchanges with the guy turns out it's located in Houston not Minnesota. He must be advertising all over CL. Good thing too I would have been taking a drive this weekend I think to take a tour of it! Showed it to the wife. She just rolled her eyes and said...

    Looking for a new set of knifes

    I do this often. Put stuff in a cart but don't check out for a day or two. Sometimes they will send you a coupon for 5 or 10% to get you to come back and complete the checkout. Victronix are nice knives lots of bang for the buck.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
