    Logging in

    I grew up with a party line, too. First phone number had a 2 letter prefix, then 5 digits. My wife's parents had a rotary wall phone until just a few years ago. Our niece would poke her little fingers in the dial, like they were push buttons. She was amazed when taught to dial, and the click...

    Hello everyone, Newbie and glad to be here.

    Welcome from the greater Yellowstone area. Glad to have you here. Great place to learn and share. I love to fish, too. There was a pretty little brookie on the fly in my profile picture. I sent him home to grow up. The first thing I ever smoked was fish also. There was a Kokane salmon run that...

    2nd try at ribs.

    Sounds like you are going the right direction. bottom line, if they are tender, and taste great it doesn't matter what you smoked them in. However.... Happy wife, happy life. The fastest route to a new smoker is directly through a wife who enjoys good barbeque !

    First attempt at a burrito.

    I like a smear of simmered refried black beans, thinned with some bacon fat on the tortilla before the other ingredients, and a little cotija cheese grated over that. The mango or peach salsa sounds good,too. Your fillings look delicious !

    Cut a whole brisket in half?

    For next time.... Remember, trim is not waste. Grind it into hamburgers, add it to smoked baked beans, sauce up for some burnt ends, or chop it up for tacos. Enjoy !

    Spam! It's what's for dinner!

    I grew up with Spam and eggs, served sunny sided up over black pepper grits. Slabs of thick sliced bologna in pancake sandwiches with Log Cabin syrup were a special treat on Sundays. That was way back in the day, when Log Cabin came in tins that looked like a log cabin. I have a couple of cans...

    Canadian Bacon and Brining

    My first one followed Bearcarver's step by step exactly. Every one after that was done the same way, because they come out perfectly. I am very comfortable using Tender Quick.

    Nothing complicated, I mix a bottle of spicey brown and a bottle of honey mustard in equal amounts in a jar. Its great on Brots, too.

    BLT's (EAST TEXAS STYLE)

    At my house, we replace the lettuce with bacon. Bacon on the top and bottom, with a nice thick slab of beefsteak tomato in between. Sweet hot mustard on the bread, and a grind of black pepper on the tomato. Now that's what I'm talking about !

    Montreal Smoked Meat

    One benefit of doing 2 at a time is that it takes the same number days, but you get twice the finished product.(Which looks amazing ) Well done, A plus for effort.

    Salty sausage question

    It would matter because coarse salt has more space between the grains. Think about a jar filled with pebbles vs a jar full of sand. It's a matter of grain size.... They are both salty, but you get more salt in a Tablespoon of fine salt, than you get in a Tablespoon of Kosher salt, or sea salt...

    Cuisinart Smoker Can't Get Hot Enough

    When you turn on the propane at the tank, open the valve slowly. Also see if there is an air adjustment control ahead of your burner. It would be a flat metal disk about 2" in diameter with 2 pie slice shaped openings that changes the fuel / air ratio when you twist it. My gas grill instruction...
