    When Double Sealing Vac Bags ??

    Disaster. I went through three batches in two weeks over the holidays. Daughters can’t stay away from it or my good bourbon. They know good bourbon and always look for the best. Oh well, I’m a soft touch. I have occasionally had seal failures. Sometimes it is the factory seal is not tight.

    Not new to smoking, just trying to figure out something

    I’m pretty sure that is why bourbon was invented.

    Smoker Modification

    I just can’t leave well enough alone. My smoke generator fed into the lower part of the cabinet that houses the burner. When I shifted from normally aspirated to forced induction, adding too much boost upset the flame. So I relocated it higher in the cabinet where the racks are. I should have...

    Bœuf Bourgignon

    Something different tonight. Tried a recipe for Bœuf Bourgignon. Krogers had a sale BOGO on chuck roast so there was no putting it off. The recipe uses a lot of French wine. So does the cook. It came out very good and is really pretty simple. Like my chili, I made it the day before so the...

    Chili

    I had one serving left of my brisket chili frozen from a gathering in November. I spent three nights on the sailboat last week and had it for dinner. Heavenly.

    Consistent Temperature of a Vertical Propane Smoker?

    That is a problem with vertical smokers. I put a fan from a convection oven in mine. Problem solved and the smoke is evenly distributed rather than traveling up the back of the cabinet and out the vent.

    Chili Night

    Chili night came and went. The cast iron skillet cornbread with honey butter was done just right, and the rhubarb pie was perfect! The smoked brisket chili is something special. The post-dinner bourbon was pretty good too. The gathering was to support a friend whose wife has been diagnosed...

    Shredded Beef Tacos

    Thanks for the likes! I puréed the braising sauce and it tastes great. It will work well to drizzle on the meat before serving. The nice thing is everything including the sauce can be frozen.

    Shredded Beef Tacos

    As promised, I smoked a 3.5lb chuck roast today. Seasoned it with Bang Bang taco seasoning, smoked it for four hours, then put into a Dutch oven with a tomato-chili sauce and braised for another four hours until it started pulling. I’ll run the sauce and drippings through the blender and use it...
