    Finished product on smoker...What to look for.

    I joined this group a few years ago. It has been a plethora of information when I started making sausages 2 years ago. I have now taken the plunge and bought an offset smoker. In researching the art of BBQing ribs, (I thought I was starting with something easy), is there a checklist...

    HOOOOTTTTT Snack Sticks.

    Just bought some Reaper off Amazon. A buddy came by to return a borrowed tool, I mentioned i received it today. He asked to try some. He took off the top, dipped his pinkie in to get just a bit on the tip. Touched his tongue and couldn't talk for 15 minutes. Guess its pretty hot.

    BBQ TURKEY

    My father in law has always done a turkey on the grill for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It turns out so moist and succulent. From what he has explained, its all in the brine. Brining it for 24 hours helps loosen up the connective tissue. Slow cook that bad boy on a well maintained BBQ and you...

    Michigan's UP Sausage...Cudighi

    Anyone have a good recipe for this sausage? I've had it a long time ago. Great taste. I've heard that it calls for red wine in the ingredients. And the type of red wine will affect the flavor. Any "YOOPERS" out there with a family Cudighi recipe tucked away? This "TROLL" would be forever...
