January 2019 Throwdown Winner
I think it's a testament to how educational and supportive this forum is that I was able to pull this off! And now I have 7 pounds of boudin in my freezer to play with some more... ;) Thanks, all! Sunny- SunnyDC

Yet Another Valentine's Day Steak -- Smoked Ribeye
So we tried something last night I wouldn't have thought of doing before I found SMF and smoked/reverse seared a pretty ribeye steak. Rubbed it with salt & pepper, rested in the fridge for three hours, then onto the grill (new smoker is still going to have to wait until next weekend to assemble... -
New Smoker -- Initial Mods Advice
Oh, definitely. I have a feeling it would be yucky if I didn't. The models in the store (that I could actually reach!) were all really stinky and chemically smelling... obviously they have stuff in them I don't want in our food! :) Thank you!- SunnyDC

New Smoker -- Initial Mods Advice
Hi all, So my better half indulged me this past weekend with an early birthday present, this cheap offset smoker to practice on while I'm newbie-ing my way through my first season of this hobby! It's a Char Griller Smokin' Champ model. I did a lot of Googling around (and spent a few minutes...- SunnyDC

Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
There are two vents in the bottom (back and front); one in the middle on the top (cover). We kept them all open. -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
Ok, here's an update: we just tasted the salmon. I've got some tweaking to do with the seasoning, but the texture was great and the smoke flavor profile was NOT the nasty one we got in the tomatoes -- not sure if that helps! -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
Nope, no billowy smoke. It does that for a few minutes at first, then once it calms down, I put the stuff in there, and as long as it doesn't flare up, it just kinda trickles out thinly. -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
I don't have any of tonight's but this is the same setup only with far more charcoal and wood on it because I was doing something totally different. Not sure if you can tell, because this is like 3-4 briquettes deep (we only used 1 for today's smoke), but what we do is light the far left... -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
I seriously think we paid like $40 for this grill... I ain't kiddin when I say cheap! -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
See above... no smoker. Just a square-ish, el-cheapo grill from The Orange Borg Store. Single line of charcoal around 3/4 of the bottom, unsoaked pecan chips scattered over them, then lit from the end. -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
No smoker... just a grill. I've never had trouble doing my boston butts in there, and other few things I did also turned out really well. We made a snake of charcoal about 3/4 of the way around and put chips on top. Usually I soak them first, but someone here (can't remember who, sorry!)... -
Mixed Grill, Mixed Success, and I'm about to Spend Some Money
Just pulled some things off tonight and I have some pictures, some questions, and a fail! Yesterday's project to smoke the piece of steelhead that had been resting in the fridge for a day or so after a bit of curing time got bumped by my being asked to make some brunch dishes for my better... -
Smoked Butterscotch (or other) Sauces?
Hee hee... Yes, I came here of my own free will. :) Will try the sugar smoke. That seems loads easier. Thank you! -
Easy made souse
My grandaddy made souse and I LOVED it as a kid -- not sure I've had it since I was a teenager, though. I am adding this to my to-do list, though... thanks for sharing! :) BTW... they carry pig feet and all manner of other assorted things like that at the Asian markets around here... but I...- SunnyDC

Smoked Butterscotch (or other) Sauces?
Hi all, You've ruined me here forever, just so you know. I want to smoke **everything** now. I'm working on a new breakfast recipe (think cinnamon rolls, only with dates and butterscotch glaze rather than cinnamon/raisins/10X sugar glaze or whatever) and now all I can think of is... smoked... -

Pennsylvania 2019 Gathering September 27th - 29th
Hi Warren, I spied you in the pics, yep!! I particularly enjoyed the one from 2017 where you appear to be holding a bottle of something that I think is the most important accompaniment for any bbq (hint: not beer!) I will be happy to meet you (and everyone here). Since I have just plowed... -
Pennsylvania 2019 Gathering September 27th - 29th
Wow, I just spent entirely too much time reading the 2018 thread and looking at the pictures of all that beautiful meat... but honestly, you had me at smoked tomatoes (!?!?!) I have alerted my other half and asked him to put these dates on our calendar. We're about 3 1/2 hours from State... -
Pennsylvania 2019 Gathering September 27th - 29th
Ok, so total newbie here, but maybe I won't be too embarrassing by September! This isn't so far from the DC area... are there places to camp nearby? I'm never happier than when I'm in a tent! :)
