    quick question re: spare ribs - plz help

    My only thought would be you might have to watch them a little closer. Seems to me that the ends are typically a little more well done than the middle so if you cut them you got more ends and less middle.....

    Pickled Eggs W/ Q-VIEW

    Man, these appeal to me but I made one batch and didn't really like them. I let them sit in the fridge for two weeks. Maybe the brine wasn't too good. I just threw it together but if I remember correctly I used: Leftover Juice from Banana Pepper Rings (Mt. Olive) White Vinegar Apple Cider...

    Wickle Pickles

    Been about 2 months since I had them and just the once so far. I would say heat is inline with Mt. Olive Hot Pepper Rings (if you've had those). Not like sweet pickles more along the lines of bread and butter but really a more unique flavor. If you like picles I don't think you'll be disapointed.

    Wickle Pickles

    Okay, so they are more widely available than I thought. Good, maybe the'll be around here soon. On edit....I rechecked their website and it says available 'nationally' in specialty food markets (though I think my brother got them at Publix but I wouldn't consider them specialty store, just a...

    dumb question...?

    Gether, you idiot that is a dumb question....Oh wait I am thinking of getting a Chargriller and was wondering the same thing. That is actually quite brilliant of you to think of the different options.

    Thanks to Hermes & Hepaestus

    I just swung by and got a price list and man what I've been missing. They have package specials and the $30 special is 21 lbs of meat, even though 6 lbs is hot dogs and balogna, that is great. For $79 you get 20 sirloins and 20 ribeyes. I am a happy man. I don't expect to be buying meat from...

    ABT stuffing Tool!!!

    Doh, smack me. I have one, use it for deviled eggs mostly. Hadn't thought of using it for ABTs. Of course I usually have other stuff mixed in pretty thick so it might not work unless using only cream cheese. Thanks for the idea though.

    What's your Favorite?

    I'm usually pretty indecisive anyway but I think the butts have it for me too. Even though I just picked up a brisket at Wally World for $1.67/lb. and ingredients to make some home made sauce samples. Also had to get the stuff to make a couple of quiches for my aunts 60 b-day.

    Thanks to Hermes & Hepaestus

    Though part of me is slightly tiffed I am a happy man. Ever since I joined this forum I would cringe everytime somone mentioned going to their local butcher b/c I hand't been able to find one in my area. Well, I just found one. The reason I am a little tiffed is b/c apparently they have been...

    Old fryer new smoker

    Welcome Chris. I followed that same path. I love using my turkey fryer, especially for my Annual Superbowl party. Next February I will be kicking it up a notch (as someone semi famous said) with the addition of some smoked BBQ. Lots of great info here for those new to the art, also just a fun...

    All Nighter VS. Precook

    There is another option which I have done. You can smoke your meat until whatever time you want (say midnight, 2am) then put it in the oven at 225 and know it will be safe, just leave your digital thermometer in with so the beeper will go off if by some chance something happened and it got too...
