    Christmas Smoke with Q-view

    I was to tired to post after last nights festivities, but regardless of the blizzard, dinner went off without a hitch. It was cold out, but fortunately the gusty winds were from the NW... my covered porch is on the the east side of the house, so I barely noticed it. Smoked spares with Jeff's...

    Pork Loin and Fatty Q-view

    I've decided to try my first pork loin today. I've smoked a lot of pork shoulders/butts, but my butcher says that pork loin is really good. I intend to pull it, so I prepared it just as I would with other pulled pork, with a dry rub. He (my butcher) recommended that I wrap the loin in foil about...

    Pickled Eggs

    I posted a thread on this a year or so ago, but I think it may have been lost in the crash. My wife and I tried a couple of different methods... I used vinegar, pickling spices and beets for color... she used left over pickling juices from jalapenos, dill pickles, pepperoncini, and whatever...

    Referrals

    Nevermind... I found the answer. Referrals are when others join that you have referred... just the way it sounds. LOL!

    New Toys

    I have been smoking for a few years with an old style Brinkmann Smoke n' Pit Pitmaster Deluxe, but I've often wanted something a little smaller. I fire up the SnP for hams, ribs, shoulders, brisket, etc., but it is major overkill (waste) when I just want to do a few appetizers or something...

    I'm back... I think

    Hey all... been away for a while, but I am finding more time these days for a few things that I enjoy. I hope to be a regular here again. Question for you guys... the board seems a little light. I mean, a lot of the info I had bookmarked is gone or pointed somewhere else, my hypers don't work...

    BBQ Sauce or Finishing Sauce

    I've done a little searching and haven't really found what I'm looking for. What I'm after is just a plain ol BBQ sauce like you might find on the table at most "sawdust on the floor" type BBQ joints. Not Rib Crib, or Chilis... just the good ol squirt bottle type, usually labeled "hot" and...

    Claremore, OK - Boots and BBQ

    Just wondering if anyone is competing at the Boots and BBQ Festival in Claremore, Oklahoma next weekend? I am not, but I am planning to go to see how these events are run, and to try some good Q. BBQ is on Saturday... taster kits and KCBS judging 11a-3p. Looks like they have all kinds of...

    Tulsa area briquettes

    Hey fellow okies... I've been looking for a replacement briquette for my Weber grill. I was using Rancher briquettes from Home Depot, but the stuff has become unavailable (yes, I called the company) and I refuse to buy Cowboy. I want another briquette as they seemed to work well in my grill...

    Cheese smoke

    CHEESE IS DONE... PICS BELOW! I'm planning to smoke some cheese tomorrow since it is likely to get too hot in the coming weeks to pull it off. I stopped off last night and bought 5 half pound blocks (sharp cheddar, habanero, mozerella, colby jack, marble cheddar) and two balls of mozerella...

    Slow Site

    Perhaps I'm the only one, and maybe this has already been covered, but does the site seem extremely slow lately? Part of the fun of this site (other that the wealth of information) was the fact that I could come in and buzz through the posts and catch up on my reading. Now, I spend WAY more time...

    Spare Ribs

    Just a quick note to show the ribs I smoked today. I really just wanted to say that this was my first batch of ribs using "Jeff's Naked Rib Rub", but definitely not my last. That stuff is GREAT! Sweet... spicy... man, just about the right amount of both, along with some other "slap yo mamma"...

    Kegerator Pt. 3 (Final Chapter)

    Well, the parts arrived today and the wife was nice enough to take my Co2 tank down to get filled before I got off work, so all I had to do was install and drink. The installation was pretty straightforward, especially since I read through the directions several times before the parts even...

    Fatty Question

    Just curious if anyon has had any luck freezing a fatty. I did my first one last weekend and it was great, glad I finally tried one. This weekend I'm doing two, one to slice and share during the super bowl, and another that I can hopefully put away for later. I've had good luck using the...

    Kegerator Pt. 2

    After some minor modifications I was able to make this fridge a "full keg" kegerator. I even have 8" to spare up top, which is what the manufacturer recommends. I'm moving my BBQ condiments and other fixins to this fridge too. Got a few frosty mugs ready... tap and pressure kit is scheduled...

    Kegerator Pt. 1

    Well, I'm weak... after I saw Glued's kegerator I knew I had to build one, so I ordered a kit and a set of heafty glass mugs yesterday. I also found a nice refrigerator on craigslist for $80, so the project is underway. Here is the fridge as it was delivered. It was in a fella's garage for...

    Pork Again! q-view

    Fans of the movie Platoon will recognize the title line... "pork again, I can't eat this $#!t Harold!" What we have here is a far cry from what junior found in his field ration. It is a calm 40 degrees here in NE Oklahoma... overcast, but the sun is supposed to be coming out and warming us to...

    Galvanized metals in my smoke box

    Ok, I have read several posts that insist that we not use any galvanized metals in our smokers, grills, etc., but I am looking for a simple way to extend my exhaust pipe down to my cooking grate, and I don't want to use something fragile like a dryer vent tube. What I had in mind is a 3"...

    Accurite Thermometers

    I tried to follow up on another post, but it didn't bring it to the top, so here is a new one with a couple of minor mods I made for my probes. I found this piece of steel scrap at work... drilled a few holes, painted it and secured it to the end of my pit with large 3/16" rivets. Seems pretty...

    Pork qview

    After last weekends brisket I was anxious to run the smoker again. the brisket was good, but I wanted to try out my new temp probes, charcoal and make an attempt at thin blue smoke. I found a local outfit that sells Ozark Oak lump (10# for $5), and since I've read good reviews, I decided to...
