    Nice lookin turkey and fatty. It's hard to eat one from an oven after having a smoked bird. My kids groan when we have one now that is not smoked.

    Food Safety and the Brining Bucket. HD / Lowes Might Not be best source

    A couple of ideas I might add. I get my buckets from a local organic grocery that has a large Deli area. They have always given them to me for free. For Turkeys I use a cooler, but I use the Turkey sized oven bags. I double bag them for thickness, but I know that they are food safe. I have...

    Canadian Bacon question

    Thank you for all of your advice. I am going to use TQ for a dry cure. I have seen a couple of threads here where they add stuff to the TQ. Should I use it straight in measured amounts or is there a recipe I should use to mix it? Thanks

    Canadian Bacon question

    Hi All, I have been away from the forum for a while. I am finally able to break away and start up my smoker again. I am going to try some CB this time. I have been looking at the posts and I need to get some clarification. Do I want to use a whole pork loin or do I want to use just the...

    Fatties - Q-View

    I made my first Fatties today. I was inspired by all of the talk of a throw down. Fatty #1 is a pizza fattie. Italian Sausage with pepperoni and mozzerella cheese. Fatty # 2 is a breakfast sausage fatty with sauteed mushrooms and onions with cheddar cheese. They were a big hit and didn't...

    Need help with buffalo brisket

    I appreciate the thoughts. I was wondering if bacon would help. When you say marinate, are you thinking about a brine? Hopefully MossyMo will be able to help some. This should be really good if I can do it correctly. Buffalo is really tasty stuff. I have made a ton of jerky out of it, not to...

    Need help with buffalo brisket

    Hello from Portland Oregon. Has anyone smoked a buffalo Brisket? I have one that I am planning to use half of for jerkey, and I was thinking about smoking the other half. It has much less fat than a beef brisket. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jim

    Turkey on the Weber

    I like doing the 12-14 lb turkeys on the smoker, but for the bigger birds the Kettle is tops. I brined it with Jeff's brine over night and I alway use lump in the Kettle.

    When/Where did you get your FIRST taste of REAL BBQ?

    When I was growing up in the 60's my parents always had a BBQ (as they called it) every Saturday. It was always grilled meat of some sort. I grew up in California so most days had pretty nice weather. I started flipping burgers about the age of 8. In the early 80's I was in the military and...

    New Guy

    Welcome to the forum Jim. I am pretty new to the forum myself but have been grilling and smoking for quite a while. There is a lot of great people on this forum and lots of info. I agree with pineywoods, Jeffs 5 day course is excellent for getting started.
