I grew up in rural North Carolina and have always lived in the South. I've heard of heard of polk salad since I can remember. I've heard of people eating it but I've never eaten it. And to tell you the truth, after reading the link that Danny posted, I don't think I ever will. I think I'll just...
Good tips here. My first attempt at ribs turned out the same way ...... TOUGH. I discovered that my thermometer was big time off and that my ribs were simply not done. I replaced it with a Maverick and haven't had a problem since ..... consistently great. One more thought ...... we all have our...
Welcome Mike!
I'm also a Clemson man .,., class of '64. I currently live in Covington, Ga (about 30 miles east of Atlanta). This is indeed a great place to feed your habit. It's loaded with great advice and great people. Good luck with your smoke this weekend.
How about a big plate of fried country ham, grits with red eye gravy, eggs done your way hot buttermilk bisquits with molasses and lots of rich hot coffee. What a way to start the day. Or on second thought, I have had the breakfast menu for supper its great.
Welcome Mr. K.
It's good to have you on board and we look forward to seeing lots of posts from you. What part of Sweden are you in? I spent about 18 months in Stockholm a few years ago on an expat assignment. I really enjoyed my stay and have to say that the people that I met and worked...
You're looking good. Look forward to watching your progress. At this point, I'd say you are in the process of becoming the proud owner of a fine functional smoke house. Thanks for the post.
Leah,
That looks absolutely wonderful! I also love tuna ..... seared on the outside and raw on the inside. A little marianade enhances the flavor but there are few things in life better than a good piece of seared tuna and a glass of chardonnay. Thanks for the post!
Leah,
That looks absolutely delicious! I love seafood of almost any kind and Spanish Mackerel is no different. By the way, smoked, in my opinion, is the very best way to eat them ..... assuming they are very very fresh. By the way, the King Mackerel is also wonderful fresh and smoked.
Dan,
It's great to have friends like you. Looks like you did a great job and I'm sure your friend really appreciated your efforts. Dave really came through with some good advise too. Good post ...... I really enjoyed it.
Looks like a very interesting recipe Mr. Foamheart. I've copied it to my recipe file and will definitely be giving it a try. If it's as good as SoflaQr's fare, it will be a great addition to my chili recipies. Thank you very much for sharing. Great post.
Follow Rodriguez's advise and I'll guarantee you will be happy. I was scanning the responses to your question and formulating a reply in my mind. Then I read the comment about the Weber Smokey Mountain and knew that I couldn't improve on it. That's exactly what I did. I moved from the el cheapo...
Seen red is right. There are no guarantees with butts. They may well have come from different pigs.
And if so, could have quite different cooking characteristics. Best bet is to go low and slow, monitor the IT and they will be done when they are done. Good Luck!
Hi Mudslingerf2,
That really looks great! I been thinking of doing some bacon but not comfortable with my knowledge level. I assume you cold smoked? What temps did you watch, what was your source of smoke (AMNPS?) and what wood did you use? I love hickory .......... will that work? One...
Hi Mr. Boatman,
I'm not a heavy poster. I guess I'm more of a lurker or observer. But I so enjoy smoking and do so on a regular basis. We have the weather for it so any time of the year is good. But the point of my reply is that I enjoy the SMF, I enjoy reading the posts and some of those...
