    Can't stand it any longer!! w/Q-view

    I have been "barbequeing" chicken for a lot of years, but I have never had it turn out anywhere near as good as it did today on my smoker. I just unwrapped it and pulled the meat. As a protien supplement to my program I can have one ounce of the meat. I think I'm going to have to break my...

    Can't stand it any longer!! w/Q-view

    Okay, just took the chicken off the smoker and wrapped them up to rest for while. I was amazed at how well the smoke went now that I have an accurate thermo. The true test will be in about an hour when I try the meat. At an average temp of 250 it took approximately 2 hours and 28 minutes to...

    Can't stand it any longer!! w/Q-view

    Okay, I just put my chicken on the smoker and immediately I learned a valuable lesson. In addition to smoking meat for the first time I am also using my maverick thermo for the first time and I was surprised how inaccurate my probe thermo mounted on the door is. It's no wonder I was having...

    Rate this Burner Flame

    I was all ready to go get a new burner for my smoker because I couldn't turn it down enough without it blowing out. I think I'll try that first. Once again this site have saved me some trouble!!!

    More eggs and veggies w/Q-view

    I just tried the squash tonight and I have to say I really liked it!! It had just a mild smokey flavor and it was extrememly sweet. I just added a little salt and pepper and ate it plain. I would recommend trying it highly.

    Buying Andouille????

    I don't know if they will ship it to you, but I get mine from Hollier's Cajun kitchen here locally. They also make all my Cajun sausage from the game I kill. In my opinion you would be hard pressed to find better quality sausage anywhere. Below is the contact information for them. Hollier's...

    More eggs and veggies w/Q-view

    Oh yeah, I forgot. The nectarine and the apple were good. I think a little less smoke would have been better, but they were still pretty good.

    More eggs and veggies w/Q-view

    I realized that I didn't take any finished photos about the time I was vacuum sealing the food, so I don't have any further Q-view, but I will tell you my results. The mushrooms were juicy and flavorful. They would have been better with a little olive oil and salt. The onions turned out...

    More eggs and veggies w/Q-view

    Trying a few new things today. I am again smoking some eggs, but I have a lot of veggies I'm smoking as well. I'm smoking a butternut squash, a couple of onions, two portabello mushrooms with chopped garlic on them, three heads of garlic, some zucchini, some red, yellow, and orange bell...

    Even in Wisconsin venison help needed

    What I've found about venison is that if the meat is excessively red it will taste livery unless I soak it in a mixture of vinegar and water for about 15-20 minutes. The mixture leeches the excess blood from the meat and it will have a much milder flavor. The longer you soak it the less livery...

    Pork Roast

    Well, if it weren't an issue of health because I had high blood pressure (now normalized and off my medicine because of the weight loss) and an issue of employment because I am expected to maintain a certain degree of physical fitness in order to advance with promotion, I wouldn't worry too much...

    Paprika

    I run into a lot of recipes that call for smoked paprika, but I have a lot of trouble finding it where I live. It occurred to me that, "hey dummy you have a smoker and maybe you could try to smoke it yourself". Is it a matter of simply spreading it out in a pan and smoking it or are there...

    Wild Boar Ribs w/ upcoming Qview

    Sorry guys, the beast didn't stick his head out during the day. I wish it was still legal to hunt them at night too, but it isn't and I don't break the rules, so empty handed. I do have some photos of some other kills from this year. I'll post them below. may 2008 Feb 2009 killed 1 1/2 hour...
