    Halupkis (Bear’s Birthday Dinner)

    Happy Birthday Bear! Had a hankering for some Halupkis a couple weeks ago and made a batch. Like your “Hunky Jack” story, I first had them at a friends grandmother’s house in Roscoe, Pa. Mine will never be as good as hers, but it’s fun to try.

    Smoked chicken and bacon pizza with a surprise. And Q-view.

    I can't remember where I put it originally. Guess I screwed up?

    WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

    I agree. I’m not as active here as I used to be, but I did notice threads get buried a lot more quickly. It used to be that when a thread was replied to, it got moved to the front of the recent posts page. It was a constant shuffle of the most recent replies. Now they seem to just sit there at...

    First Gumbo for me

    I've only been making gumbo for about 20 years and hail from just barely below the Mason Dixon line, so I'm by no means an expert and still learning. But I have picked up a trick or two along the way. As for roux, I happen to enjoy the game of chicken that is taking it to within a heartbeat of...

    Was Santa good to you this year??

    Might be. I'd have to get my butt off the couch and count them, so I can't say for sure.

    Was Santa good to you this year??

    Santa was pretty good to me this year. No smoking related goodies, but I did receive a selection of hot sauces ranging from "mildly uncomfortable" Habanero to "I hope your health insurance is up to date" Ghost pepper. I also got a Lodge carbon steel skillet. Haven't used it much yet, but it...

    Mini WSM Question

    Only issue I could see would be cutting it without cracking all the enamel off the whole bottom. If you can find one that fits and can manage to cut out the bottom, I'd think it would work very well. All that being said, I fear you may be searching for a solution to a problem that doesn't...

    First packer on my WSM with Digi Q.

    Temp controllers are like an engine with no brakes, so the removal of any variable which can cause a runaway temp spike is a good idea. In your case, I'd have gone with an empty water pan or a solid heat sink such as sand or gravel. A water pan does a great job of maintaining temperature as it...

    Looking for ideas on pork shank

    If I were in your situation, I think I'd spring for a $15-$20 store bought ham and double smoke it in lieu of the "mystery ham". I mean, you have no idea if it's cured, how it was handled etc... When cooking for a crowd food safety is pretty important.

    Deep fried or Smoked Turkey?

    In my experience, brining doesn't do more than keep the meat moist. It does add salt, which turns up the volume on the flavor of the turkey as well as any seasonings used on the skin or in the cavity. Since most herbs and spices are oil, not water soluble, adding them to your brine does little...

    Deep fried or Smoked Turkey?

    Turkey takes smoke very well, so unless you REALLY like smoke, avoid stronger tasting woods like mesquite and hickory. I just put salt and butter on the skin and smoke at 325°. I also brine, and then leave uncovered in the fridge for 24-36 hours before smoking. It dries the skin, keeping it...

    LIKES vs POINTS

    For what it's worth, I didn't like the old points and post count. It led to a small minority being way too competitive and trying to artificially boost their popularity on the forum. Don't get me wrong, I liked the idea of being able to show appreciation for a thread, and also the addition of...

    Chicken and Waffles? I think I'm missing something.

    My wife and I were perusing some cooking videos on Youtube yesterday and came across one featuring chicken and waffles. I've been aware of this dish for a few years, but never really looked into it. So we watched several videos and both were left kinda scratching our heads. What exactly is the...

    Enamel coated cast iron

    I'd cover it. Chances are it'd be ok without, but no need to take a chance.
