    Favorite Wood

    I have never smoked venison. My favorite all around has to be pecan. Oak is currently gaining ground though. Hickory and cherry are a really nice mix for pork. For chicken I like Apple or cherry. Sometimes a combination of both fruit woods. When I do vortex chicken I like a little mesquite. The...

    Is It Just Me?

    I seem to have hashed out a bunch of negative feelings and memories with this thread. I apologize for that. Hopefully we will all find some kind of balance that we can live with sooner than later. I convinced out CIO here at the county's IT department to allow me to do a smoke in the fall for...

    Is It Just Me?

    What’s with the inflated meat prices? I know I am in So Cal but dang the prices of everything except chicken has tripled or quadrupled in the last couple of weeks. I’m not sure if this is due to these hackers jacking with our country or something else entirely. Anyone have any clue? G

    Pig Shot Question?

    I have very tasty smoked sausage from Sam's Club but this last batch of Italian sausage from Sam's was exceptionally spiced. That was why I was going to give it a try. I guess I could pre cook it a bit on my kettle and then let it cool before slicing it up for the pig shots. I am thinking that I...

    Pig Shot Question?

    A pig shot is basically smoked sausage cut into about a half inch slice then wrapped with bacon to create a shot glass effect. You pin the bacon to the sausage with a toothpick and then fill the inside of the cup with whatever floats your boat. I used caramelized onions and cheese in my last...

    Pig Shot Question?

    That is my concern. I would cook it long enough for it to be safe but will it get all shriveled up and fall apart? I love the flavor of this particular Italian sausage though. Oh well, I guess I may stick with the smoked sausage and just do the Italian sausage alone for some tasty sandwiches :) G

    Pig Shot Question?

    Have any of you used Italian sausage for your pig shots? Is there too much shrinkage? I am thinking of doing some pig shots with some mild Italian sausage that I have in the freezer for Memorial Day. Due to the extra fat content, I am just a little concerned that they will shrivel up. If that's...

    Something wrong with my pellets?

    I have tried the hickory blend from Pit Boss to use in a smoke tube and they burn really well for me. It's actually thin blue smoke. Even more amazing is that I tried the oak hickory blend of the Expert Grill brand and they seem to impart an awesome flavor. Same thing with thin blue smoke. Those...

    Tri Tip smoked like brisket

    My one attempt at brisket style tri tip failed. I might have to give this a go again. There is a sale this week for $3.99lb at Staters. Time to stock up a bit. G

    Finally dusted off the 26er and fired her up.

    I remember seeing him in several of your pictures. Looked like a very handsome fella. I bet it was fun rolling around with him in that big yard. I know that in my case I am down to my very last kitty. We only have cats here but it is very difficult to lose your friends. If you guys decide to...

    Tri Tip Tacos

    Fantastic looking tacos. I've never thought about making tacos out of tri tip. Now you have given me new inspiration to try something a little bit different. G
