    Canon Camera users.......possible recall or free repair

    We had that happen about 6 months ago to our Canon Powershot S1 IS that we bought back in 2002. I returned to the photoshop where we purchased it. Canon ended up replacing it with the Powershot S3 IS. It was a newer version with a couple of more bells & whistles. Worked out really well for us...

    Let's help each other out......

    I picked up 3 butts at the Ames Hy-Vee last night average weight around 9 lbs. Total cost $27.54. Asked the meat man about baby-back ribs. They were $4.99 per lb. More than I was willing to pay. I can get them at Fareway for $3.77 per lb.

    Let's help each other out......

    I like the Fareway meat counter. I buy most of my Baby-backs, spare ribs, porkloins, Whole T-bones & Whole Ribeyes at Fareway. As said earlier it is nice that they will cut it to order for you, but I have never seen pork shoulder/boston Butts on sale there. Hy-Vee is the only place I have found...

    I just saw an ad in the Hy-Vee flier. They have bone in pork butts for $.99 per lb. I am going to stop tomorrow and get 2 or 3.

    Who out there is a competition cook?

    Hey everyone thanks for all that great advice. One of the questions that I have been wondering about is "do I use sauce on the meat or not and if so when"? Any thoughts? Should I do the brisket the "old smokie" way?

    Who out there is a competition cook?

    I will be cooking chicken, brisket, pork butt and ribs. I can cook the food I just don't want to finish last or embarrass myself and the folks helping me. I am hoping the competition cooks will share some helpful tips and tricks.

    IOWA folks

    Hey Smokebuzz, Thanks for the info. It would be great to meet some of you guys in person. I doubt that I will be able to make it. That is the day I am cooking up a bunch of pulled pork for my church's fund raiser to send some of the high schoolers on a mission trip to Mexico. If I can get away...

    Stupid Question - Maverick ET-73

    Even though the tips are different, if I put the smoker probe into the center of a pork butt wouldn't it read the temp of that pork butt?

    How much should I prepare?

    I found the answer to my own question. I knew I had seen this somewhere and thought I saved it but didn't realize I saved it on my computer at work. I don't remember who posted it or developed it but I think it could be invaluable. So, a big thank you to whoever you are. If the person that...

    How much should I prepare?

    I have been asked by our church to prepare some pulled pork for a fund raiser event. Anticipating about 100 people . I am trying to figure out how much to prepare. I thought I saw some information on a thread here a few months ago that provided that kind of info. If anyone remembers that...

    Brisket Prices ???

    What do you pay for brisket in your neck of the woods? Most of the time here in Central Iowa I have seen it priced at $2.99 to $3.99 per lb. I actually bought one Friday night at the Super Wal-Mart in Ames for $1.65 per lb. I am not real big on buying meat at Wal-Mart but I thought this was a...

    Those that had cracked guard on Weston slicers

    I received both parts on Saturday. I was only expecting the finger guard since the shields were on back order. I used this slicer last week on a brisket and set it to cut as thin as possible. This thing works great. A big thank you to whoever brought this great deal to the attention of the forum.
