    Can Venison Be Smoked Like Brisket?

    If you don't cook the brisket long enough, it will be dry and tough. It has to cook until the connective tissue breaks down (melts) helping the meat to become moist and tender, right? So, can the same be done with venison? And if so, which cut of meat should be used? If it can't be cooked this...

    Making rub vs store bought

    That's how I like to have my veggies; let the herbivore eat them, then eat the herbivore.

    Like I said in a previous post on this thread, "The only thing better than white oak is red oak."...or was it the other way around?

    BBQ Pitmasters ?

    I think that a stick burner has a cleaner smoked taste, kind of like smoking a fresh cigarette as opposed to smoking one that you pulled out of the ashtray.

    PP stall?

    I don't know why there is so much variation in stall temps on butts, must have something to do with the relative humidity or something. I just don't know, but it never happens to me at the same temp. Is it OK to use armadillo rub on pork?

    Wrapped chicken

    Even though I'm sure you liked these breasts just fine, I believe you will like the larger breasts much better. (At least that has been my experience.) Anyway, it was a great thread, definitely worth

    Pulled Pork - Pork Butt 5.25 pounds

    The stall is the result of evaporative cooling. Basically, moisture begins to rapidly evaporate from the butt at anywhere from 150-165 or so, and can last for hours. Foiling at this point can help overcome the stall. To get the falling apart pulled pork, all you have to do is take the butt to an...

    I think I have a ghost.

    Even if you've been married for decades, do you really (I mean REALLY) know your spouse? Could be she accidentally started it by placing/misplacing something, and got a reaction from you which she secretly thought was funny, and has been pulling innocent little pranks ever since. Which would...

    MES40 - first smoke in progress. Couple questions

    OK. You're good on smoke since you've said it had a good smoke flavor. A temp of 188 degrees is done, but at that temp the connective tissue hasn't broken down yet. It would have been best to slice it or chip it and sauce it, but you needed to take it to about 205 degrees for pulling. At 205 the...

    Babyback for dinner.....for the dog!

    I feel your pain. Even if you could get all the dirt out, every time you take a bite you'd be expecting that dirt crunch. Hell, dogs gotta eat too!

    Skilled Tradesman!

    I didn't even realize I too was creating these instruments for decades. I guess I just never ran across a musician who knew how to play my creations. Now, the next time my wife says, "Are you drinking beer again?", I can tell her, "No. I'm making bottle flutes."
