    Steven Raichlen question, kind of.

    I love both of my smokers. The electric is my favorite. Very little effort, awesome results. The offset gives me the bark I love , but it's like caring for a sick infant with a phlemmy cough, lot's of attention needed. My patio has a gas grill, electric smoker, offset smoker and a hibachi, I...

    The Juices left over from bbq'ing beef and pork - What do you make with it?

    Smokey pork fat separated from the juice is just as good as bacon fat for frying in some base flavor. Use instead of vegetable oil for some good cuban black beans. Fry some dried chorizo in the pork fat with garlic before you add the beans. Whenever I fry onions, like to serve with pierogies or...

    Steven Raichlen question, kind of.

    I get directtv, the only show I see around for smoking are the Steven Raichlen shows. But it seems he does 99% of his smoking on the Webber. He has electric and offset smokers in the background for props, but rarely if ever does he cook with them. I have both an offset and electric. Is the...

    ECB Electric, not enough smoke taste + white smoke

    I use an electric water smoker, modified. What are you smoking? If it's been poultry, was it brined? What kind of temperature is it putting out? Maybe your cooking too hot and it's getting done before a good smoke can set in? Also if you are using an electric water smoker, it won't get a bark or...

    I bought the Harbor freight grinder

    I love it. It works great so far! It was $59.00, I had a 20% off coupon and a $40 gift card so with tax it was around five bucks! I've used it several times and though I'm a beginner at sausage making, I felt it was strong, sturdy, easy to clean and assemble/disassemble. My 2 cents.

    Anybody filet their Boston butt?

    I love the boston butt on the smoker, also the whole shoulder. But when I buy a big piece and smoke it, the center never really gets that well smoked, even after hours. Does anyone ever thin out the cut for a more thorough smoke?

    Smoked Prime Rib

    My 2 sisters and I went out to eat at outback. One of my sisters ordered her prime rib well done. Not only did my other sister and I look at her like she was crazy, but the waitress said, and I quote " Are you sure? Isn't that like shoe leather?". Ha!!! True story.

    Naan Bread

    My friend, I love Indian food and I am constantly looking for authentic recipes. From the pictures you sent, the Naan looks way too thick. They should be as thin as pita bread. If made properly, it's much fluffier than pita though, not as dense. I know you mentioned you passed up on some more...

    turkey brine

    Actually, I've used up to 2 lbs of salt in a 5 gallon bucket before. The salt does not flavor the meat. Just make sure to wash the turkey very well. The salt is on the outside. But you will be surprised how all that salt does not make the meat salty.

    Split the turkey?

    I've always used my electric smoker for turkeys with the water pan, brined with 1 lb salt 1/2 bottle of italian dressing and 3 or 4 sliced lemons in a 5 gal bucket with enough water to cover. Then when I smoke it I wrap it in 2 layers of cheesecloth and baste it with a mix of honey beer and...

    Ebay applewood

    I live in the North Georgia/Chattanooga area. I'm finding it hard to find applewood or cherry chunks to smoke with. I found a supplier on Ebay that will ship 10 lbs green or dried for 6.99 + 9.99 shipping. Just wanted to know if you guys thought it was a good deal or not. Perhaps you may know...

    Texture for country ribs?

    I wanted to try some country ribs. I was curious because I know I should smoke them more like a butt than the 3-2-1 rib style. And I know some people like ribs that fall off the bone, and others like them more firm. But what about these? Are they picked up and eaten like ribs or are they more...

    Good replacement elements?

    Actually I did try one of those portable elements. It wasn't that same brand. I still have it but I didn't think it put out enough heat. I didnt think of trying 2.
