CUTCO Cutlery. Anyone use them?
That's because knives don't go dull from cutting food. They go dull from cutting hard things like cutting boards, bones, etc. The serrations protect the actual knife edge from the cutting surface. So they can make pretty good knives from really cheap steel and they will last for awhile anyway...- bigbear

CUTCO Cutlery. Anyone use them?
Dick- do I know about CUTCO Cutlery!! CUTCO is marketed by Vector Marketing and to the best of my knowledge is the only way to buy CUTCO. Their pitch is excellent pay (like $14.00/hr) right out of the shute and extensive training. The bottim line is Cutco/ Vector is a pyramid scheme or damned...- bigbear

Gettin' Scary
Grinder- Great collection! Would you talk to my wife? She thinks that my 4 guitars are about 5 too many. I'm not sure if it's my playin' or all the money I have tied up in them!!!! I told her good guitars are an investment. She says she's giving them all to Goodwill when I die! That includes two... -

Traeger Butt
I smoked my first pork butt on my new Traeger this weekend. It came out awesome. I used my standard "Dad's Best BBQ Rub" but only let it sit with the rub on it for two hours instead of overnight. I smoked the butts using a 50/50 pecan/apple mix. Smoked it on medium (275 degrees) for 90 minutes... -
Baby Back Ribs. Second Attempt
I always take my ribs out of the smoker and finish them on the grill at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hr. after coming out of the foil. If eaters want gooey ribs I'll put on the bbq glaze during this step or just let them crisp up a little. I've never had anything but great reviews from this...- bigbear

Looking for a decent store baught sauce...
The title of this post is an oxymoron!! If you have time make your own and tweek it 'til you have it right where you want it. With store bought sauce you are just paying top dollar for their ketchup!! I have a killer basic BBQ sauce, one hot for my kids and me and the other version with less...- bigbear

Cattleman's Smoky BBQ sauce
Cattleman's is every thing I don't like about packaged, store bought Q sauce. The liquid smoke flavor is so heavy it overwhelms any good flavor that may be hiding in there. I did try to add some honey to cut the smoke a little but it was a waste of good honey!! There are many good packaged...- bigbear

Buying smoker for Boyfriend
Your man is lucky to have a lady as thoughtful as you! I agree that either gas or electric is the way to go. He may eventually move back to charcoal but learning charcoal is another skill. Let him learn to smoke meat first, get some favorite recipes of his own, enjoy the whole thin blue smoke... -

Hello
Is "Roll Tide" like when the waves crash on the beach? We have that here on the Pacific Coast!! Just kidding, you Crimson Tide folks are pretty rabid about your team. Pretty high expectations year after year. And a mighty tough conference to boot! Welcome and good luck to your "Rolling Tide"... -
Problems with Smoking Pork Butt
Sounds like you had the right idea but maybe had a little trouble with the execution. I love a good pork butt. In fact I have two on my Traeger right now. I never brine butts-ever. No need. I agree with all the previous posters especially the temperature probe part. No one asked you about the... -
Alternative woods?
Tallymonster- I'm not nearly as eloquent or concise as Travcoman45 but you can't smoke with any coniferous (firs, pines, cedars, spruces, hemlocks etc.) tree wood because they have natural resins (pitch) to protect themselves from insects and disease. These trees are naturally fragrant but make...- bigbear

Supreme court Ruled
Mr Porky- Oregon does have a "peaceable journey" statute although it's not called that.

Summer Pork Tenderloin Ideas??
I just bought a nice pork loin about 9 pounds and I don't want to cook it like the butts I usually do with a basic BBQ rub. Of course I want to smoke it but any ideas for something a little different. Maybe a marinade or different rub. I'm thinking of using some jerk spices or maybe a tropical...
