    Help with spouse issue..

    If you are going to thaw a bird out in water outside the bag use running water, it's faster. If you aren't pressed for time leave it in the original packaging and put it in water - change the water. Of course it's best to start with plenty of time and thaw it in the fridge the right way.

    Dumb question: cook time?

    Use the internal temperature of the bird at the deepest point of the breast (170 to 175) Take that pop out POS out and throw it in the trash. Never trust that thing unless you want your bird dry and tasteless - my opinion of course.

    Smoker is down!!!!

    If it happened out of the blue - no hints previous - it could be that the safety in the regulator has shut off the gas. Did you open the gas valve prior to trying to light your smoker? If so you may have opened the gas valve too quickly. Try shutting the gas valve on the tank all the way then...

    Smoked Ham - Score or Dont Score?

    If it's a bone in ham - yeah score that bad boy. Makes the presentation better and I think it tastes better (). I too leave the fat and let the people trim it off their own slices as they see fit.

    Computer Crash!!!

    Haha remember when 500 MB was big??? LOL now you can't buy a machine with that amount RAM and have it function. Best wishes on the rebuild. At least your drive is still up and you can save info. Usually by the time I get the machines they are well done and usually killed by the owner not having...

    Belgium beef ribs are on the way -Q view

    Maybe next time you can use a pan and cover it with foil. On the ribs I showed they cooked for a little over 6 hrs until they were tender, but spent the most of that time in the pan with a little liquid. Keep your heat as indirect as possible and let them break down slowly. If they were from...

    Smoking 20lbs Turkey - Yay or Nay?

    Spatchcocking is removing the bone structure from the bird. Some remove just the back bone, some all the bone. Look it up on Google or YouTube. As for contradicting Jeff - I don't mind. I have done it and it can be done safely and very effectively. Use safe food handling and prep practices and...
