    New Pit Boss

    I got my Pit Boss 1100 in June. I may need to adjust the P control, as my cooks seem to be done a little faster than expected. The Pit temperature is right, and I have been very happy with everything I have done. The probes are right on, and I rely on them. Cook by temperature ! First cook was a...

    Raisins

    That sounds tasty, and the shelf life should be very good. The flavor profile would lend itself to pemmican sticks. I use dried cherries or cranberries in mine, with ground jerky and beef fat. I'll try smoked raisins next time. Thanks for the thought !

    pellets from amazon

    I bought a bag of Lumberjack pellets today at a local RV dealer. I had been wanting to try them because I've heard they make more and better smoke. They were a lot more expensive than Pit Boss pellets at Lowes, but if I like them better, I wouldn't hesitate to order on line next time.

    The Name Game

    I've noticed a lot of us have a pet name for their smoker (s). Does your smoker have a name, and how did it get that name ?

    Pizza setup

    Stack the fire bricks on their wide side, not on end, in a U shape. Make the U just a bit smaller than your pizza stone or pan. Build it like a brick wall, 2 or 3 courses high. It will be a lot more stable.

    If you spray it with Pam, after the first smoke or two it will season itself black anyway.

    WHAT YA SMOKING LABOR DAY! INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!

    WinCo had some choice tri tips on sale for $3.98 / lb last night, so my mind got made up for me. One for dinner tomorrow, the other one to slice for sandwiches on fresh hard rolls over the weekend. Smoked mac and cheese to keep them company in the smoker for the last hour. Quartered heirloom...

    Pizza setup

    Raising above the grate and rotating will aid even cooking. Raising helps circulation and air flow from the dome. You will get contact heat from the stone, radiant heat from the dome, and convection heat from the circulation of the air. That combination makes for a pretty good pizza.

    Pizza setup

    In a word, FLAVOR. It's why I don't do ribs and brisket in the kitchen oven. I have a KettlePizza attachment on my Weber.I can do a pizza every 4 or 5 minutes once it gets up to temperature.. Make a bunch of crusts, or buy premade, and party. Everyone can put on their favorite toppings and...

    Messed up two racks of ribs...

    I smoke ribs at 225. I have an old ice pick ( remember them ? ) that I keep sharp. When it slips into the meat with very little resistance, I go to the bend test. I'll grab about 1/3 of the rack gripped in the tongs, and see if they droop. When they are done, they are done.

    Favorite Dessert?

    I live in Idaho now, but I grew up in South Florida. KEY LIME PIE ! I wouldn't turn down a nice slice of coconut cake, either.

    Need some ideas please?

    At my house most of the guys like rare meat, and the ladies prefer medium. The major difference , after a proper rest is a paper towel. Steak, prime rib, roast beef given a little " blot" are visually acceptable, and still nice and tender. It works.

    Need some ideas please?

    I just ran through the posts from the top, and one thing became very obvious to me. Salads are about as popular as a fart in a space suit. They might have a place somewhere. Just not here, and not now.

    Need some ideas please?

    How about Italian sausage with grilled onions and peppers, skirt steak fajitas, smoked Mac and cheese with lobster, brined and smoked turkey drumsticks, sausage stuffed chicken breasts, any kind of tavern food you like, or maybe some tapas would fill the bill. Stuff you would find in a hunting...
