    now thats a campfire

    Cooking over a real open fire can be challenging, but rewarding. I did these steaks last year on a pack trip. Just before I put them on my buddy decided "that fire needs more wood", I had to set him straight about cooking over coals.

    I bowhunt but I use a recurve with cedar arrows. I keep it pretty low tech on purpose.

    tender quick???

    Prague powder, or instacure, or pink curing salt does not exchange equally with Tenderquick. Be absolutely certain of what you are using and what ratios are required for the particular type of cure you are using. Visit the Morton's website for info on Tenderquick and check the cure sticky on...

    now thats a campfire

    I'd just like to be able to go camping this time of year. Well I guess I could, but I think I'm too old for that winter camping BS.

    chokecherry syrup and/or jelly

    You are bringing back old memories for me again my friend! My grandma made everything that could be made out of chokecherries when I was a kid. Haven't done any in a long time. Used to eat the things til my mouth nearly swelled shut. I like the idea of a chokecherry farm. We can't seem to grow...

    I Got A Stay Of Execution Tonight WHEW

    Glad to hear you got some breathing room. I can't help with your decision, I've always been of the buy due to the investment issue, but there are most likely other factors involved here. Good luck.

    Help me build this smoker....need suggestions/links

    For the digital controller you could look into PID controllers:http://auberins.com/. Many memebers have used these with great success, a forum search on PID will yield many different threads on various use and applications. Not sure what kind of heating element or heat source you are planning on...

    Metal Gym Locker smoker paint removal?

    Good point on the lead paint, and burning it can make even more of a problem. I think you can get a cheap test kit for lead paint at hardware and paint stores.

    Ice Tea

    I had to cut way back on my tea. The doctor told me it was most likely contributing to my kidney stones. Don't want to be doing that any more.

    Metal Gym Locker smoker paint removal?

    Any gym locker I've been around is fairly light gauge metal. Be careful with burning lest you warp the bejesus out of it. Not saying you can't do it, just be careful. I'd try a chemical stripper, then be very meticulous about soap and water clean up afterward.

    They need to outlaw Costco... w/ QVIEW

    I used to think it was a rule you had to spend at least $100 at Sams or Costco. They should sell a portable warehouse at the front of the store to take home to store all your items in after you get back. I do like to buy paper products there, TP, napkins, kleenex, paper towels, etc. but they...

    Cutting a pork but in half to save time cooking?

    I often use country ribs or cushion meat to make my pulled pork (usually thats because thats all I can get). I have a lot shorter smoke time. I do foil and mop often as well as using an ecb with water pan. So far no moisture issues. This makes fantastic pulled pork with plenty of bark.

    Another Batch of Bacon

    I should probably emphasize the importance of the drying before smoking steps. When done correctly the bacon should develop a "pellicle". This is kind of a dry sticky, sort of shiny coating on the meat. This is essential for the proper absorption of smoke and flavor/color development. A wet...

    Another Batch of Bacon

    Pretty much cold smoke. I follow the process from Rytek's book pretty closely. After curing, allow it to dry at room temp (I pat it off with a towel), then into a 120 smoker for about an hour for additional drying, damper full open. Then increase heat to 135, damper 1/4 open or so, and start...
