    Overnight bacon smoke

    Thanks All! Yeah, I have cold smoked a few times in my MES with and without a mailbox mod for my maze. I just kept having trouble keeping the dust lit so switched to using the big smoker. Plus my oldest likes to eat a meaty slice once in a while right out of the package, so 145 is where I...

    Overnight bacon smoke

    Thanks guys, my oldest grilled a few thick slices last night and said the taste was awesome... But didn't take a picture for me dangit! Will just have to grill some more I guess!

    Overnight bacon smoke

    More notes... shoot, I can always talk more BBQ! This was my first smoke after installing my new door seals. Needed to be done for a long time, ended up ordering them from McMaster, seemed like a good price and worked great. Also my first smoke with the smaller bags of RO Chef's Select from...

    Overnight bacon smoke

    If you don't make your own bacon, you have got to give it a shot. I'm kicking myself for years of not knowing better. But thanks to Pops Brine and my Spicewine with DigiQ, it couldn't be easier. I usually cut a Costco belly into thirds to fit into my brining bucket. This time I did two...

    WELL HERE GOES

    My tip on ABT's is they take longer than I often plan for, and then I hear about it! :)Get everything prepped and stuffed in advance. I usually figure an hour and a half at 250 give or take depending on your cooking temp. And if you happen to get them done early, they're great appetizers!

    How Can I Transport a Heavy Cabinet Smoker?

    I moved my upright cabinet in our minivan just laying the seats down so it could lay on its side on cardboard. My buddy and I had to work pretty hard to get it upright coming back out but we managed it. We should have put something behind the first set of wheels to touch ground because it...

    The “other” other white meat

    Same for our family. Then again maybe it has something to do with our extended family being in the cattle business. Hard to beat a whole Chuck roll for a ton of shredded beef! Otherwise I would second using chicken thighs. Good luck!

    Assassin smoker help

    As far as jumping goes in your snake method, from your picture it looks like your divider is short compared to how high you are stacking your charcoal and wood. I'm not sure what the height clearance is in your grill, I use firebrick myself as a divider and don't stack it over the top edge...

    Best butt yet.

    I'd take some of that for sure, very nice!

    Beef Short Ribs - Need Input

    I think wrapping or not depends on how much bark you like on the outside. We like bark on ribs, so I don't wrap ribs but I do wrap big cuts like butts and chuckies. At 275 I would think 5 hours is a good estimate. I'd cook to around 195* rather than cooking to time. Wrap in foil and rest for...

    Thanks Sonny!

    Vac sealing fish

    Great day on the lake... 4 passes of trolling and had my 2 fish. About 30 minutes of snagging total, that is crazy fast! Last year I got skunked and probably fished for 10 hours over multiple days. One 50# (female) and one 31# (male). I decided to vac seal without breading them, got...

    Vac sealing fish

    Thanks, that was one my son caught, his first! This is probably what I'll do. My breading is usually flour/milk/corn meal and spices.

    Vac sealing fish

    My annual spoonbill snagging trip is just around the corner, after getting skunked last year for the first time in years I am hoping for better results next week! I will sometimes grill filets, but usually slice them into strips, bread them, and deep fry. I have experimented with breading them...

    Question on whole hog.

    Thanks for asking this, gmc. I've had the same question for years, just never posted it. Responses so far are what I expected, which is why I've never done a whole hog even though my kids have asked. I've also only had whole hog at a luau. I'm sure there are masters out there that can get...

    Love to smoke but can't eat after?

    I had the same reaction you are talking about yesterday after smoking and chopping a whole chuck roll. I wanted nothing to do with it afterwards. Today on the other hand, it tasted awesome on tacos!

    Pastrami first-timer

    Thanks all! Al, we are big fans of tri-tip now that I know I can get it fairly reasonably priced from GFS for a case. It is a long afternoon of trimming up and individually vacuum sealing though! This case will probably last about a year.

    Pastrami first-timer

    The great posts from other SMF members got me to finally give pastrami a shot. I'd never even eaten it, much less made it. Turned out fantastic! The oldest son quickly said - oh yeah, you're definitely making this again! Started with a nice trimmed tri-tip from GFS and Pop's brine plus a...
