    Remembering 9/11

    I saw this on a sign the other day. "When you remember what happened on 9/11, also remember who we became on 9/12."

    Not Feeling the Cherry Love...

    Ok, to each their own. But if that were true, why wouldn't we all just be using one type of wood for everything? Why would pellet companies sell several different types and proprietary blends? It would be like saying all wine comes from grapes, therefore all wine tastes the same.

    Not Feeling the Cherry Love...

    I disagree with most of Meathead's opinions, and this is one of them. Every smoking wood brings its own subtle flavors to the party. There was a time when I could identify what wood was burning by the smoke smell alone. Try smoking a rib roast with just cherry and see how much difference there...

    What's going on with delivery companies?

    I used to service the lighting for several UPS distribution centers in the greater Seattle area. I can attest that I would occasionally find a package wrapped in Xmas paper that had fallen under the belts, the next Spring.

    What's going on with delivery companies?

    I wrote recently in a Recteq thread that my driver came several days early with my new smoker, catching me completely by surprise when he called me at work one morning to say he was at my condo building door with it sitting out front on a pallet. I had no prior notice that he would be there, and...

    From Commercial Freezer to Commercial Smoker

    Ovens are usually wired for 240v., also. Something to keep in mind.

    Can't believe it - never used Cimarron

    Holy cow, you sure have the luck. Nice find!

    Anyone know the name of this type of grill?

    We have them in WA state, both national and state parks. They might pull them during fire season. Also in the city park 1/2 mile from me. I remember we burned some hot dogs in one of those when my son was playing Little League.

    Not Huli Huli Wings

    Dang, Disco. Now I remember why I missed you so much. I'm going to give that a try sometime soon.

    A Cow, a Pig, and a Chicken walk into a bar …

    They need to make something to unjam augers, like those hex wrenches for garbage disposals.

    Another pulled pork run...

    I go by Jeff's advice and do butts at 300° now. Takes less time, and aways has a nice bark.

    Peasant Bread

    The two loaf pans produced smaller loaves than pictured for me ( guess I should have just poured it all into one.) But I loved the taste and texture. I'll be making this again soon.

    Peasant Bread

    Giving this a try today. It's on its 2nd rise, as I type. I don't have pyrex bowls, so I put it in two loaf pans. I hope it turns out.

    Freezing them is fine.

    Honest rating 1-10 on my brisket trim.

    If you want to bring your brisket to the next level, try adding this recipe from our good friend, Chef Jimmy J. Simply add the ingredients to a large foil pan, lay a grate over it, and place the brisket on top. Chef Jimmy J's Smokey Au Jus

    Honest rating 1-10 on my brisket trim.

    I leave about 1/4" on the back, and trim out most (not all) of the deckle between the point and flat. Helps keep it moist for the long smoke.

    No idea how to trim it but it was mooing yesterday 😊🤪

    If it was processed just a few days ago, I'd leave it in the cryovac for at least 3 weeks to wet age. Or better yet, get an Umai bag for brisket, and dry age it. Beef that is "too fresh" can have a liver-like flavor to it. Just my opinion, FWIW.

    So many tomatoes....

    I always made pasta sauce out of extra tomatoes. Never could get catnip to grow well, as the neighbor cats would trash the plants overnight as soon as they started sprouting leaves.

    New RecTeq Backyard beast

    Christmas came early! Too early. The email I got from the shipping company said it would be here on Friday at the soonest. I wasn't even at work for an hour this morning, when the driver calls me and says, "I'm here!" I ask if he can leave it at my door? He says the pallet won't fit in the...
