    Time for old fashioned summer sausage again

    I put enough pellets in the tube to last about 6 hours. It does not build up much heat as I also do it outside around the end of February, so its cold outside.

    Time for old fashioned summer sausage again

    I do not have an actual smoke house. I use two cabinet smokers with Amazen tube smokers for smoke. I only do 45# at a time, as that is all that will fit in my two smokers.

    Looking to buy my first propane smoker. Need advice.

    I have used that Smoke hollow smoker for at least 3 years now and love it. It holds temperatures very well for me. I started out using the chip pan but switched to the A-maze-n oval tube smoker and never looked back. The tube lasts about 6 hours for me. I have done many overnight butt smokes...

    Everybody raves about these so I bought some more cukes while I was out. May as well make the trip worth while. Bought a corned beef on sale for making some pastrami to go with these pickles.

    That's what I thought. Off to the store for garlic. May as well get fresh cloves vs the jarred stuff. I need vinegar too after I looked. Didn't think this thru very well did I. LOL.

    Garlic dill pickles UPDATE! READY TO EAT IN 3 DAYS WITH VAC CANISTER

    I am going to try this as it sounds great. I have the cukes on ice now and just looked for the garlic but found I do not have the jarred minced garlic. Has any one ever used dried minced garlic?

    BBQ in Seattle area

    Heading to Seattle tomorrow for a week. Going to a DMB concert at the Gorge. Can you guys recommend any good BBQ or Seafood in the area? We like to stay away from any touristy spots. The best places are where the locals like to eat.
