    Smoking Sausage 101

    This is exactly what I was looking for.  Makes sense now. So you start them out cold smoking to make sure the smoke can actually penetrate through the casing and slowly bring the heat up to cook them to an IT of 150-160?  And I would guess the cure in the link is what keeps the meat from...

    Smoking Sausage 101

    Thanks guys So even with "cold smoking", do you still get that 'snap' when you bite into the casing?

    Smoking Sausage 101

    So I've been searching through the threads for a few minutes trying to get a detailed overview of sausage smoking but can't seem to find any "one-stop shop" type place that provides info on sausage smoking basics. I've never smoked any type of sausage before.  Been smoking for a few years now...

    Grilled peaches and blue cheese salad

    Looks awesome.  I did something similar a while back. A couple months ago, we got some fresh peaches - cut them up, rolled them in olive oil and cinnamon, and put them in the smoker for about 30 minutes on a low heat about 180-200 degrees.  Then we made a peach cobbler with them.  Fantastic...

    Thermometer always needed?

    Ribs are the only meat I never probe. I could probably get by with basic examination and be okay if I didn't have a therm. But I probe just to be okay. As with the methods that Dave described... Pork shoulder - bone has to feel like it will pull right out Brisket - toothpick goes in like...

    Happy Turkey Day!!

    Doing a beef brisket for the first time

    Should the brisket be wrapped like the butts? Lot of different opinions around the smoking community.  Most people wrap.  I wrap with butcher paper because I think it keeps the bark more firm vs. foil.  And I usually wrap once it hits 165-170 degrees, or when I think the bark is solid.  There...

    Chicken Leg Quarters on the Old ECB

    Gary, Sure looks good.  Smoked chicken that has sat in a good brine makes for a good meal.

    Whats your favorit scotch, rye, whisky or burbon.

    Well I have a new favorite...  Balvenie 12 yr. Single Malt Scotch.  Stuff is delicious...  and harmful to my wallet at $59.99 per 750ml.  Just bought a bottle last night and plan to make that sucker last.

    How do I get ribs and chickens done at the same time

    Agreed with the post above.  The chicken will likely take ~3 hours (obviously depending on the size).  I've finished chickens in 2 - 2.5 hours, but I cook chickens at a higher temp.  Since you've got ribs in there too, you probably wanna keep the temp below 250. One thing you can do to make...
