    Recteq Kalua Pork: happening

    Yes, the banana leaves have a subtle flavor. I will taste again in the morning when the sounders are not playing. Too many beers to cover the bad play. The only spice added was salt, too much for me, it is for someone else. We will see how they react. The unwrapped piece also had too much...

    First time using my smoke vault 18 questions

    I have one of those. Haven't used it since I bought my recteq. I used chips and not chunks. Maybe you can use chunks with chips, never tried it. Be careful as it goes through chips a good rate, I had to replace the chips every hour or so.

    I've located mesquite pellets, frozen banana leaves, and alaea salt. I plan on doing a test smoke tomorrow. I have a few questions. Could I smoke on extreme smoke, 180°, for a few hours then wrap in the banana leaves for the duration of the cook. If I smoke this low it takes 5 or 6 hours to...

    Bacon grease goes on the hash brown? Or I thought :) How much bacon does one have to eat to get 2 cups of bacon grease, not like that's a problem?
