    garlic seal on Shoulder

    You're not going to burn it if you do it right, jeez. Take a whole head of garlic, leave most of the paper skin on pull off the loose stuff, cut it in half horizontally, drizzle with olive oil. Get some foil and wrap the garlic up loosely in it. Roast in a 400F oven for about 30 minutes and...

    I HATE MOVING !!!!

    Fall Kraut Making--6 WEEK UPDATE

    That is beautiful Willie! You're right, the store bought cabbage is very sad. My neighbor gave me some she grew in her garden back in March and I made kraut with it. I didn't have to add one drop of brine. The fresher it is the more moisture it has. I also put caraway seeds in mine, just a bit...

    I noticed in the newsletter I get from Jeff that when you go through this link http://www.smoking-meat.com/amazon  to shop on Amazon the site gets a little kick back. Dang, I shop on Amazon all the time, and with the holidays coming up I'm sure to do some serious shopping. It doesn't cost us a...

    What bones do you use for Beef and Pork Stock?

    One of the first things we learned to do in culinary school was to make stocks. We used veal bones, always used ones with a "knuckle". The hooves are fabulous if you can find them. A really good stock is very gelatinous, like jello when it's cold. For a deeper flavor roast the bones first and...

    Kielbasa Recipe Question With New Q-View

    I agree with Willie on using something other than water. You could also use a beef stock/broth for a little added flavor. I've simmered homemade stock with a few mushrooms and used in sausage. Kinda adds that "umami" flavor. Even if you used the store bought broth it would add a little bit of...

    Country Gravy Recipe help

    themule69 has a good idea, but he forgot to tell you to whisk in the flour. You want to make a roux. To be more specific, you want to make a blonde roux. Hope you like blondes. A roux is equal parts fat and flour. After you brown your sausage remove it from the skillet. Add in fat from sausage...

    Hello from Savannah!

    Welcome neighbor! I'm a couple hours away. I'd say go ahead and upgrade. It's inevitable. I started with the same as you and now I've got a reverse flow Meadow Creek.

    Catering business

    I have a catering business and I don't have a set menu at all. I work with the client and build a menu around their event. If you want to have a set menu put four to six items in each category, but also stress you can do other things. I'll be honest with you, I did the full deal catering for 8...

    start a small bbq business

    I went to culinary school and while I certainly learned a lot, I would recommend you find a bbq place or two and work there for a couple of years. There's a lot more to it than cooking and selling bbq. First thing you should do is sign up for ServSafe classes and pass the exam. All restaurants...
