    SQWIBS Macaroni and Cheese

    This really does look wonderful.  I've had some similar failures with cheeses clumping and separating, so it's good to find recipes that work well.  I've added a little white wine in some of my cheese sauces also (like a fondue), but my kids don't care much for that taste.  It's great with some...

    Beef Tongue

    Looks really good; nothing like tasting something that can taste you back! I usually go to Japan to visit each year, and always make sure to have yakiniku-style tongue at least once while I'm there.  I have a deli-slicer, and slice my own at home and make it the same way, but never thought...

    Thanks to all for the kind words.  I think it did pretty well, but I still have a lot to learn about how this particular smoker operates.  More practice is definately in order.  Thanks again!  -Hex

    First Smoke In Homemade Smoker - QVIEW!!

    I finished my smoker build earlier this week (you can check it out in my Sig link below) and my family voted on brisket for the first test run. Here's the brisket before getting wrapped up and stuck in the fridge overnight. And here it is again getting ready to get taken out and tucked into...

    DOOR LATCH

    I used these for my smoker build.  Got them at Tractor Supply for a little over 5 bucks each.  They're a pretty sturdy over-center latch.  I burned mine during one of my barrel burns to remove the plating, then sprayed them with hi-temp paint after I welded them on.

    1.66 Vertical Drum Smoker

    Well, I got outvoted; the family decided on brisket. (I guess because we had ribs a couple weeks ago)    So, I've got about 12 lbs of meat getting ready for tomorrow.  One to slice, one to pull.  Going to get this all wrapped up and in the fridge.  Should give the new smoker a great test-run.
