    Supreme court Ruled

    I currently have both an Oregon and Washington CHL. The CCW or CHL you want to get is Utah's. It is accepted on over 30 other states and is as close as we currently have to a national CHL. Check out this link for some better info: http://www.handgunlaw.us/ Shoot straight, stay safe!

    Ladies on a gulf course

    Capt Dan- you really cleaned that one up!!! I started reading it and knowing punchline thought OMG, we're in trouble if he tells it the way I learned it. But you pulled it out!!! LOL

    mesquite for pork butt?

    I really agree with the last three posters. Mesquite and pork, IMHO, simply don't go together. I like to use a base wood like hickory (everyone's favorite) or pecan mixed 50/50 with a fruit wood like apple or cherry. I've been experimenting with maple and pork butts, and it works, but I still...

    Knife Set - Recommendations?

    My young son was dumb enough to get roped into CUTCO's absolutely criminal vertical marketing scheme. You can't buy CUTCO except through one of their salesman. It's too bad because the knives they make are really first rate. He had to buy (I should say I bought because he was broke of course!)...

    Is this forum getting to go belly up!

    I'm really a newbie here and maybe my opinion isn't appreciated but I'm an old pro with other forums. One concerns concealed handgun carry. If you don't think passions run high on that one!! And things can get ugly quickly. IMHO, when things get off base or personal, I think the mods need to...

    Knife Set - Recommendations?

    I think knowing how to keep them sharp is much more important than the brand but... That being said I just read a knife review that listed Wustof at the top. These are expensive knives. I own Henkels and they are good also but apparently not as good as Wustofs. Here is the sweet part. The...

    The 1500s

    It's interesting that the more advanced we become the more we revert back to the old days like smoking cheap cuts of meat over a wood fire. We get great satisfaction doing it the hard way and then bragging about how great it tastes! Fascinating stuff!

    I've been CHALLENGED!!! (Help?!?)

    I know for a fact that milk, or any milk product, works! I was trying to be cute in front of my children and I ate one of those waxy green chilies at Big Reds. Just ate the tip and then the fire came. OMG!! I tried water, ice, lemons, bread everything. Finally, another patron was kind...

    New Traeger

    Maybe it was an American rib eye!! Just kidding! Congrats on your new grill. I use a Traeger and don't claim to be an expert but many users have been disappointed with steaks. A Traeger at max temp is only good to about 400, maybe 450 degrees F. Frankly, IMHO, that isn't hot enough to cook...

    Need a Big Apron

    Does anyone know where to find a Big Man's BBQ Apron? I'm a large guy and the typical BBQ aprons fit about as well as the gown at the doctor's office! I've looked all over the web and haven't found anything. Thanks!

    Supreme court Ruled

    When I first read this decision I was elated. Then I read the dissenting opinions by Stevens and Breyer and I was shocked and saddened. How could the highest court in the land have 4 justices who disagree with a right that is so fundamental, so basic, to who we are as Americans and people? This...

    Any Pellet Munchers out there?

    "Pellet Poopers", "Pellet Munchers", we Traeger owners just can't no respect! But we sure can get some satisfaction!! I've smoked on wood, charcoal, electric, gas, wet, dry, almost everything but the Egg. The more I read about Traeger, especially by owners, the more sense it made. The...

    stay masquito free while smoking

    when I'm smokin' I find a good Monticristo or Partagas Churchill works great and it even keeps people away too! It's an old Army trick!

    your favorite (not so traditional) turkey rub

    Boy, I couldn't agree more. I will never smoke another trukey without brining it first. I keep the brine real simple, just kosher salt, brown sugar (or real maple syrup) and a few sprigs of fresh tarragon. Brine for not more than 1 hour per pound! I use a 5 gal pail with a lid. But I save...

    Greetings and felicitations from Oregon

    WOW! What a site! You guys are good! Rather than lurk for awhile I decided to jump right in. I've been smokin' for 25+ years and I'm hooked. The smell of smoking meat is simply nirvana. I just bought a big Traeger (made here in Oregon) and I'm hoping for great things. I'm a rubaholic...
