    Craving some Japanese Cuisine

    I used to think you were an amazing grillmaster and cook. Now I believe there are three of you.

    Generating smoke

    drdon and smokerjim give good advice. I hardly ever smoke without the mailbox mod, and I have had no luck using the Amazen products in the smoker itself. Many times I even double up and and use chips as well as the tube or tray pellet smoker in the mailbox.

    Dry Pork Butt Need Help

    I've never injected or spritzed. Are you putting any liquid in a water pan? Also, someone wiser than me mentioned that they refrigerate the drippings, remove the fat, then add the remaining liquid to the pulled pork. This was a game changer.

    My first fatty

    I love these "first fatty" posts. Because I know what's coming! Nicely done. Has the conversation started about what fatty style is next?

    First Fatties today (pic heavy)

    They look great, but I'm impressed with the presentation! Looks like you know what you are doing.

    Favorite Leftover BBQ Recipes

    This thread inspired me. A few days ago, I smoked some dried venison according to Bearcarver's instructions. The ends of each piece I sliced off with a knife to make slicing with the slicer easier, but I didn't want to waste them. This morning's breakfast was a hash of crumbled tater tots...

    Favorite Leftover BBQ Recipes

    What a great post. How will I explain to the wife when she asks what I'm smoking that I'm making some leftovers?

    First time smoking cheese

    I don't know what part of the world you're in, but I usually don't try to smoke cheese between April and October. I've tried using frozen bottles like smokerjim suggests, but didn't have good results. Drdon gives great advice. You'll find you haven't made enough, and it's tough waiting on a...

    Tasty and fast Meat Stix

    Like others said, those do look fantastic. What is "chioppine flakes"?

    Smoking a whole 19 lb turkey tomorrow, any tips?

    If Chile gives me advice, I listen.

    Life lessons.

    So much wisdom. "Save a few empty large shakers. I keep some Parmesan cheese shakers. Use them for homemade rubs." Genius! "When carving up an in-bone ham, save the bone w/ all the bits attached." My kids thought ham and beans was a delicacy. They thought I was spoiling them! "Lastly, wave at...

    Smoked Mac & Cheese (trial run)

    That looks fantastic (except for the Jayhawk cup)! I found by accident that using two pans creates thinner layers, and more smoke flavor. I also tried adding bacon a few weeks ago, and might do that every time from now on.

    Smoking mishaps

    What a great post. I wish I had something to share (believe me, it is based on luck, not from any amount of sense), but I haven't been this entertained from a post for a while!

    Another post about breakfast fatties...

    We have family in from overseas, so I thought I'd treat them to a memorable breakfast. Thanks to a post from loosechangedru, I decided to try a blueberry pancake fatty (we had leftover blueberry pancakes from yesterday's breakfast). Loosechangedru's recipe included blueberry cream cheese. I was...

    Running out of cooler weather

    Today is supposed to only get into the 60s here, so I'm taking advantage and smoking one last round of cheese before summer. I've never tallied up an amount before, but I calculated over 9.5 lbs of cheese this time! Tried something new based on some other people's threads, and dusted some...

    Jalapeño poppers.

    Can't believe you're already harvesting peppers. It will be some time in June before we can even hope to see peppers. Looks tasty!

    My house is starting to smell like an Italian meat market!

    Beautiful. And by "beautiful" I mean carousel-worthy.

    Dehydrated Morels

    Great idea. I hope you run into this problem every year!

    Roma tomatoes on sale.. (pic heavy)

    "Sometime soon I plan on trying to can some of it to see how it holds up." Something tells me that it never lasts long enough to get some into a pint jar! Sounds delicious.

    Smoked Hungarians and Snack sticks

    Those really do look great! I'm curious, do you hang the snack sticks, or lay them on the racks? I've tried hanging, but they cook so much faster on the bottom end. I know someone is doing something smarter than me.
