    Enameled cast iron in a smoker

    I would fry onions and bacon in the dutch oven, dump in my favorite baked bean recipe, and smoke it @ 350. Chili much the same. Brown a chuck roast in the dutch oven, throw in the veggies and beef stock, and smoke.

    Enameled cast iron in a smoker

    I recently purchased my first piece of enameled cast iron cookware (dutch oven). I was looking over the directions and it says not to use it in a smoker. Do bad things happen to enameled cast iron in a smoker?

    Ordered a Lodge enameled Dutch Oven

    When I ordered the Lodge enameled Dutch Oven I somehow used an expired credit card number and Amazon kicked it back. So I did a little more research and ordered one of these. Cooked pork loin and sauerkraut in the oven with it tonight. Cleanup so much easier plus I can fridge the left overs...

    Questions about why my prime (select) rib came out overdone

    Remote thermometers are nice and a valuable tool. I use them to get close to my desired temperature but not the final cooked temp. The Thermapen always has the final say.

    Disposable or reusable pans?

    I've tried water pans and couldn't see any difference.

    Disposable or reusable pans?

    Aluminum pans used to be disposable. But not at the prices they want for them these days.

    Multiple temp readings.

    Trust the Thermapen. Everything else just gets you close.

    Wood blends

    I've tried many different woods. Cherry is the all round best for me.

    Ordered a Lodge enameled Dutch Oven

    I looked at these and the reviews on it were great. Let me try my first enameled a for a while and maybe I'll upgrade to one of these!

    Ordered a Lodge enameled Dutch Oven

    I ordered a 7.5 enameled Lodge (China version). We use our Dutch Oven a lot. We would rather have things cooked in a Dutch Oven verses a slow cooker. And that big Dutch Oven pot is good for a lot of stove top things. I did read a lot of reviews on the more expensive Dutch Ovens and the Lodge...

    Ordered a Lodge enameled Dutch Oven

    Love cast iron cooking and have no problems maintaining my Lodge cast iron skillets. My Lodge cast iron Dutch Oven has/is been a pain. Not matter how hard I try to keep it seasoned the seasoning flakes off especially when cooking pork loin with sauerkraut and beef pot roast.

    "Dispatching" Skunks

    I don't think skunks have much fear wherever they live. We had a mother skunk burrow under the side walk to our covered front porch. We had a major downpour one afternoon and the mother and all 3 soaked kits where standing under the roof on our front porch. They looked pretty miserable. I'm not...

    "Dispatching" Skunks

    We have more than our fair share of skunks here. We don't bother them and they don't bother us. We have to make sure we don't walk around our yard after dark without a flashlight so we don't trip over them.

    Pepper grinder.

    I've had one of these for a few years and have no complaints. I like my pepper coarsely ground and it does that well...

    Newbie with a wood chunk question

    It wouldn't hurt to try it on a small, short smoke. Not on brisket or pulled pork.

    Freezing Meats???

    I buy both also. I use a lot more 11" than the 8". They seem to be the most economical bags and the dispensers make these bags so much nicer.
