    My first try at a crawfish boil!

    Thank you! Can’t wait until next season! Al Ha Ha ! Thanks Bro, I’m trying to stay alive so I can suck out all the Social Security $ I can. So I do exercise everyday & have most of my life. I think if I could get it locally I would, but if that is 150 miles one way I think I would do mail...

    Bge temp dropped to 160 overnight

    You’re fine, even if you injected it, the salt in the injection would protect it. Al

    My first try at a crawfish boil!

    Thanks Rafter, I got them online from Louisiana Crawfish Co. Out of 10 pounds there were only 2 dead ones. I think that is pretty good! Al Thank you, we went full on & sucked the heads. These were jumbo size & the claws had quite a bit of meat in them too. We were breaking the heads open & just...

    My first try at a crawfish boil!

    Thank you to Keith @indaswamp for helping me with this. I used his recipe & followed it to a tee. Here is the recipe: We got all the ingredients ready while the water came to a boil. Once the water got to a good rolling boil we put the spices in, turned the heat down & let them cook for 20...

    Chicken Breasts done like pork?

    They sure look good to me! We SV breasts & you could easily take them to a pulling temp, and they are always very tender & juicy. Nice job Brad! Al

    Chicken Breasts done like pork?

    I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I think the time in the foil will keep them moist & pullable. But I think I would take them out a bit earlier, like maybe 150 IT, then do the foil thing. With the foiling part & the seasonings, I bet they taste like PP, without the BBQ sauce.

    Family in Need

    That just shows what kind of man you are Brian. You would take off work to help out the homeless & children of Highlands county. Which is about a 5 hour drive away I think, & if the opportunity comes up, you will get a call! Al

    Smoking Pork Ribs in Wood Fired Pizza Oven

    I think all you need to do is build a smaller fire & add small splits to it. Hopefully that will bring the temp down a bit. Al

    Family in Need

    Brian, we live in the poorest county in Florida. There are so many people that need just basic supplies. There are many homeless camps here in Highlands county & they are all supported by the residents of the county that can give, not much goverment help. We have food drives & a lot of events...

    First cooks on the new recteq

    Great looking food! It is a shame to get that new smoker dirty! The good thing is it gets seasoned & the dust from the pellets doesn’t get blown into the food. I haven’t used foil on the drip pan in a while, because it kind of acts like a RF plate in a stick burner. The fat sizzles on it & goes...
