    Black coating

    With that amount of brown sugar its going to make your meat even darker...its something that comes with smoking.  Some (most?) of us take pride in the dark outer layer (bark).  With a rub that dark layer will be tastey!  As long as its not a coating of creosote you are good to go.  I just did a...

    My first pork butt

    yeah, i normally figure 1.5 hours as my starting point...but i always give myself enough time for it to take 2+ hrs a pound in case it does.  did a 8+ lber Sat and it took only 11 hours.

    Coons are in to everything...and hard on any and all eggs... But back to OP. I have never eaten groundhog and have always wanted to try it. Young ones are out now. I have heard they are quite tastey. Premium grass fed whistle pig

    Good Seafood in Ft Lauderdale

    That could be the Rustic Inn. The one i was really guessing we would hit up since its within walking distance. Been around since 1950 or something.

    Healthier Grilling

    So, i guess im just not cut out to grill healthy! Bottom line is its healthier than fast food or restaurant crap. Especially if you know where your food is coming from!

    Could I use Wood Instead of Charcoal?

    The key to not getting the thick smoke is to have a small hot fire burning cleanly. Not a choked off fire smoldering. Its harder to keep steady tems burning just wood but you will lear to pick up on small decreases tipping you off to add another split and catch it before it drops 50 degrees...

    If i am going to smoke a butt and a chuckie...?

    I knew the poultry on top thing, and didnt know if that carried over to pork or not. You'll love the WSM by the way. I went from a Chargriller to this and temp control is SO much easier.

    If i am going to smoke a butt and a chuckie...?

    I have a 18.5 WSM and i think for Memmorial Day smoke either on Sat or Sun i am going to do a butt and a Chuckie. I am wondering which should go on top? I am guessing the chuckie? Might be able to put them both on the same grate too depending on the size. Also, for you WSM users i havent...

    Venison first timer.. Help.

    Your method sounds fine...and i wouldnt worry about the salt this time. Dont inject any of the marinade if you are going to keep ir rare-med rare. Injecting into the inner muscle will introduce bacteria thats not present with the muscle un punctured. It wont take very long to reach the 135...

    Hea Cowgirl!!!!!

    You eat them fried in butter (of course)...and there is no probably about it. I hate mushrooms...but a morel does not taste like any other shroom i have had. It tastes more like meat...almost like an earthy tasting steak Its like the steak of the vegetarian world. Not that im a veg...but...

    my new cooking set

    I dont know...i do. I am careful not to bash in my stove top...but thats about it. Moved into the place and the range stayed...with glass cooktop. Nobody ever told me not to! No problems with it...other than the seasoning on the bottom of pans can leave some burnt reside on the surface...
