    DIRTY LITTLE SECRET!!!!

    Been craving this for a while now. Just received an order and am now trying to make my own. Salt Risen Bread, toasted and heavily buttered. We always called it "stinky bread". Yum.

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    I generally cook with charcoal and wood chunks.  Live in the city and good wood is expensive.  Getting good flavor with charcoal and wood I got from Baxter Wood that was recommended by someone else on this list.  Got some ham hocks in the fridge, curing.  Looking forward to smoking them next...

    McSpazatron, Congratulations on ordering your PCC.  And getting the insulated firebox.  I think you will be VERY happy with your decision.  In answer to your question, the grease dam is welded across the entire half-round.  No leaks.  However, I just keep an old dutch oven filled with water in...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Hey Y’all It’s been a while since I’ve posted here.  Thought this would be a great time to catch up.  For the past two years I’ve been deep-frying my Thanksgiving/Christmas turkeys.  Use a Waring Digital Rotisserie Turkey Fryer.  It’s a countertop rotating unit that uses only 2 gal of oil to...

    Boneless Cured & Smoked Pork Chops & Canadian Bacon

    Bear, Have been reading your “Step by Steps” and came upon this one.  I’m a relative newbie to smoking and I really want to smoke some chops, but I have a few questions.  I have a Peoria 24x48 back yard cooker and I am wondering how to modify your instructions to hold this smoker at this low a...

    Who's smoking what for Christmas dinner?

    Did a small smoke for Christmas.  Mac & Cheese,  ham steaks, beef ribs (just 3 bones) and some sweet 'taters.  Deep fried the turkey.  Dressing, gravy, homemade rolls, greens.  FOOD COMA!!!  Used charcoal and peach wood chunks. Love this Peoria Backyard Cooker.  Hmmmmm, what's for dessert?

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Smoked some ribs for a luncheon we had at work.  Co-workers still talking about how great they were.  Some are asking if they can "bring you some ribs and wood and you cook them for us"!  Wow! That PCC is a real wonder.  It is rock steady.  Just a half or quarter turn of the MeatMonsterVent and...

    Smoked my first fatty today!!!!!

    Looks good and really tasty.  I had the same problem with the cheese melting out.  Next time I plan to wrap bacon around the ends before I wrap the log with the bacon weave.  Yep, it's a learning process.  And a real tasty one, too!

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Mr 'Liscious, Thanks for your response to my post.  The people on this forum are "da best".  I think my wood was simply too large.  Not too much, just should have been split.  It was essentially a joint, where the branch came off the trunk, so it was thick  It was a piece from a tree that was...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Another update.  Ha! Until just recently, I've only used wood chips.  Never really had access to "real" wood, which I am now learning to use.  I just followed another thread about splits and think I found the problem with my first PCC smoke.  My wood was too thick and took too long to fully...

    My new toy! Peoria Custom Cookers 24x48 Backyard

    Hey Fellow Smokers, Thought I would share an update.  Received my PCC Backyard cooker on the 12th.  Yesterday (the 20th) was my first smoke.  Cooking with plain ol’ charcoal and oak splits.  Next time will use a fruity wood.   The smoke flavor is a little heavy. Think I used a bit too much or...
