    RE: Bearcarver's health

    Being a relative newbie, I'm not as close to The Bear as most of you.  I still keep running into very informative posts of his as I search the forum for smoking knowledge.  It is tough to win the battle when it seems all your systems aren't working like they should.  I believe that when you have...

    Chicken Feet (non smoked)

    Pretty standard in the Far East.  Go to any yakitori bar in Japan and you will find them, right along with chicken breast cartilage, which is much more unpleasant.  Go figure!

    Beef Jerky

    I just got finished with 4 days of doing jerky for my wife to send in Christmas packages.  Do some jerky searches for marinade recipes (make sure they contain cure).  Then slice up your meat (I buy the thin-cut breakfast pieces, which are 1/8" to 1/4" thick) into whatever width you desire...

    19 year old noob

    Welcome to the forum.  I am familiar with both your location (Laramie, Wyoming) and your smoker.  I graduated from the U of W MANY years ago and really liked Laramie (I'm from north-central Wyoming).  I am also familiar with your smoker, which I believe is the ECB (Extra Cheap Brinkmann).  That...

    Smoker

    If you have an ECB (extra cheap Brinkmann) you don't open anything to get to the coals.  One of the mod's is to move the legs (which support the charcoal pan) to the outside of the body, then put the pan on pavers at the bottom.  Then all you have to do is lift the whole smoker body up and off...

    Inexpensive Smoker

    Coming from the position of a present and somewhat newbie ECB user, I would suggest it as an inexpensive way of sticking your toe in the water.  If you are not aware of what an ECB is, it is an Extra Cheap Brinkmann.  It is a Brinkmann charcoal, vertical smoker that runs $39 at Wally World or...

    Greetings from Southern Arizona!

    Welcome to a fellow Arizonian.   Spent 10 years in Tucson, working for IBM, whose plant was very close to Vail.  I sure miss the milder weather and more informal, "cowboy country" feel of Tucson over The Phoenix Valley. Good Smoking!

    What's in your............ Fridge?

    I think there is too much effort into making the "politically correct" response.  If I look into our fridge, the most predominant item are those things left over from someone's last, fast food foray.  Someones leftover hamburger, a half-finished taco, some tater-tots turning green, two pieces of...

    Smoker

    Well, there are a small group of us ECB lovers around.  ECB stands for Extra Cheap Brinkmann.  You can go to a Wally-World, Lowes or Home Depot and buy the charcoal Brinkmann smoker for around $39.  It is great if you just do a list of modifications to it that you can find on any meat smoking...

    Greeting from Colorado!

    Great state you now reside in.  Welcome to one of the better habits you can get into.  I have had more hobbies than you can count and I have settled into this one after retirement.  Keep it smoking!

    Finally ordered my AMNPS

    If you need a smoke generator, you can't beat the product and customer support that AMAZN provides.  I sent in an order on Tuesday (I think) and told Todd I had a pork butt coming out of cure the week of November 5th.  It is Thursday evening and it arrived today, including a sample of Pitmasters...

    customer service.........:)-

    Todd does a great job.  I have a cold smoke coming up the week of 11/5 (pork butt coming out of cure for BBB) and Todd made sure my new ANMPS got shipped out the same day I ordered it (which was just Tuesday).  I would have no problem recommending A-MAZN products to anyone.

    Buck Board Bacon by SQWIB - Photo Overload

    SQUIB, your my hero.  I have a butt in cure right now that will come out on the week of 11/5 and I am going to be tracking your process.

    First Canadian Bacon - A Newbie w/Kakorrhaphiophobia

    From what I have found on this forum, the articles (not posts) appear to be documented guidelines about standard processes we newbies can follow with some confidence.  As quoted there, "The purpose of this thread is to provide those new to curing Canadian bacon with a basic procedure that they...

    First Canadian Bacon - A Newbie w/Kakorrhaphiophobia

    Please don't apologize, Dave,   My problem was that I got a post that said I should have NEVER taken my Canadian bacon to 160 degrees, even though the the article said I needed 160 degrees to get a ready product, from the fridge for use for colds cuts or bacon.  What I disagree with such a...

    First Canadian Bacon - A Newbie w/Kakorrhaphiophobia

    I try to do my research before stepping into a smoke session that I haven't done before, but sometimes it gets to become a mixture of feedback.  Below is a line from this forum's article on Canadian Bacon Basic Technique: "If you do this it will preserve some moisture but you must cook before...

    First Canadian Bacon - A Newbie w/Kakorrhaphiophobia

    Thanks for the observation.  I got plenty of good feedback, even though I was in the wrong forum.  I don't know if it would have made much difference to my future plans by adding more input.

    Brinkman Smoke N Grill vents?

    I'm assuming your Smoke 'N Grill is a charcoal one, not electric (i.e. the ECB).  It sounds like you are asking about air into the charcoal pan.  I have the same smoker and didn't try to regulate air at the charcoal pan but in the lid.  By putting a damper in the lid, I can control my...
