    How and why did you first start smoking meats?

    My neck's about as red as it gets, so when Bush & Gore were duk'n it out during the primaries, I found myself working in an office full of liberals. I tend to avoid politics and religious discussions because they turn into no-win debates for both sides. Not wanting to defend my rights to own...

    Where's the smoke this weekend & what ya smoking ?

    Brined, then rubbed a 9# pork butt with a Memphis rub. Will be mopping it all day with a mop sauce made from day old beer, olive oil, a T of the Memphis rub and vinegar.

    "deer roast" ??

    Mmm. Have to try that bacon fat idea. I do not hunt, but get allot of bambi from buddies. I'll usually rub them with olive oil - use allot of it, then add kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, and let sit overnight. Smoke at low temps basting with a beer/oliveoil/salt/pepper mop sauce. Another...

    cooked shrimp

    Grandfather owned an east coast crab & seafood restaurant and cooked them one way. He would steam them until the color changes from grey to a white/red/orange. I've used his technique on crabs, lobstah's, crawdads, and shrimp. While living on the west coast, we cooked them another way - just...

    Landmann or Masterbuilt???

    I got the Landmann from Wally world too. I saw other smokers that were higher in quality, but for my first real box smoker, I decided to stick around the $100+ area for a budget. Seasoned and smoked up some brats and steelhead fillets last night and they came out excellent. Played around with...

    Old Dominion

    Good grief, another Virginian smok'r. Been lurk'n for a bit and finally joined. Hobbies are fish'n rivers, building rods & baits, & beer brewing. Don't consider Smok'n a hobby, since eating is essential (and the wifey likes it when I cook). Been burn'n meat on the grill since I was knee high...
