    Ref; Goat any one?

    What kind of category would best fit posts of farm raised rabbit, goat and other sorts of, not quite exotic, but livestock not usually posted about? It's a good point that it's not wild but I don't really see another place for it besides General. I haven't had goat since I was a kid. My Mom...

    Tri Tip on my new kettle

    It must be something blocking them from your browser. I use Imgur for image sharing. It's been the easiest way to get my pictures up since SMF went to the new forum.

    Tri Tip on my new kettle

    Thanks for adding this to the carousel Al! I've been cooking for the company picnic for 6 years now, lol. Wrob - I cut these a little thicker, a little over 3/8" to 1/2" but I think it was a bit too thick. Just learned a better way to carve them, cutting the 2 angles apart and then cutting...

    Tri Tip on my new kettle

    My wife got me an off-brand copy of the 22.5" Weber kettle for father's day. Still have a couple issues to resolve with customer service but it's much more serviceable than my 19 year old Weber 18" kettle. I'm cooking Tri Tip for the company picnic this Saturday and wanted to refine my recipe...

    Smoked Spring Chinook

    An avid fisherman buddy at work offered me 4-5 lbs of springer fillets if I returned half of it smoked. My kind of bartering! I used Bearcarver's brine recipe and also started with hickory and then went to apple and alder but I can't keep my MES 40" as low as I need so my smoke only lasted...

    Is black mild steel food safe?

    If your not cooking the food directly on the steel millscale won't matter at all. You're good to go.

    Is black mild steel food safe?

    Mill scale are the impurities that rise to the surface of the molten hot steel as it is rolled out and then allowed to cool. A sandblast, grinder or a very stiff wire wheel with some elbow grease can take it right off.

    Is black mild steel food safe?

    Sometimes when steel is called "black" it has a lacquer coating on it. This applies to pipe and hardware for sure. I'm in the steel business and have not heard of it on sheet or plate so it could just be somebody calls it "black" because it looks dark but make sure it doesn't have a lacquer...

    I Tri-tip, because I don’t always want a whole brisket

    I've never taken a TT that far for IT before. It looks really good though, great job. I'll have to try that. Sometimes I find tri tips for under $3lb here in Oregon.

    Pulled pork is going to be very late!! Advice on keeping good untill tomorrow

    If you have a good cooler and some towels you don't mind smelling like delicious smoked pork you could hold it in there for a good 8 hours and it'll still be ready in the morning. I've held brisket for over 7 hours and the IT was still 145°F when I served it. You have to monitor the IT though...

    2 racks of baby backs, two meat loaves and some baked beans going in the smoker for my crew today. First time smoking meatloaf. I should probably get to the store and pick up the meat... Racks were rubbed a couple hours ago.

    Another Chuck Roast (SV Experiment)

    Thanks for the post Bear! I tried a Chucky in the SV after your 2nd SV chuck roast thread and I think I got a tough one because I ran back to the crock pot for the next three. I'm going to try the 30 hours this next time, I love the ease of the SV and having a formula that works the same every...
