    Buttermilk brine?

    I never really noticed a tang to the meat when fried after marinating in buttermilk, but this is probably just subjective. For me, it just makes it juicy and tender, probably due in part to the acidity of the buttermilk. I'm thinking I might do some bone-in thighs and breasts, or spatchcock a...

    Buttermilk brine?

    For me, good southern-style fried chicken starts with a 2-3 hour soak in buttermilk. I was wondering if it also did well as a pre-smoke brine, and if anyone had any good combos to use with it. Thanks!

    Need a Wing Sauce Please!

    Resurrecting an older thread, but in case anyone's looking, my favorite wing sauce is butter, Texas Pete Louisiana style hot sauce, a splash or two of teriyaki sauce, and just a little brown sugar to taste to compliment the savory side. No real measurements, just mix it up to taste. Round it off...

    Sea bass suggestions?

    Thanks, Dennis. The fast and cooked method is what I'm shooting for. I just want some of that smoke flavor, and I'm pretty sure sea bass tends to get fragile. Would it be best to put it on a plank, or do you think it'll survive the rack okay?

    Sea bass suggestions?

    Hi all. I was given a couple of nice, thick sea bass fillets, and was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for doing them up right in a smoker. I have a baby SFB horizontal by Char-Broil, unmodded for now. Thanks!

    Newbie saying hello!

    Hi folks! I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and finally decided to join the fray. A little about me-- I'm an Atlanta, GA native who moved up to Washington State about 6 years ago, and one thing among many that I miss from down home is the scarcity of good Q. I know my way around a grill...
