    Spare Ribs - Has this happened to you?

    I did a rack of spare ribs on the smoker yesterday (I did get some pictures and will post when I have a chance to resize them) but, when I went to remove the membrane I only found a piece about 1/2 the size of a dollar bill. I spent another 10 minutes trying to locate the rest of it but could...

    Brine a whole chiken while frozen?

    Would it be ok to prepare the brine today let it sit outside in the 20 degree temps overnight and then put the thawed chicken in it tomorrow morning for a few hours?

    Brine a whole chiken while frozen?

    Would it hurt anything to put a frozen chicken in brine and let it sit that way for 24 hours?

    It's been a long dry spell.

    Homebrew, Looks Great. Did you smoked the eye and roast in aluminum pans? Does that help them hold moisture?

    ABT stuffing

    I would like to see this thread given it's own location in the section called "Smoking Meat and Other Things" for easy reference. Any of the Moderators think it is worthy?

    The Stoker Pit Controller

    I am going to be purchasing a Stoker pit controller in the near future. One of the features of this particular controller is the ability to control more than 1 pit/smoker. My question is: Do any of you have a stoker hooked up to an El Cheapo Brinkman. If so, I would sure like to see a picture...

    Cold smoking a Pork Butt

    Dude, I bought a bloomin onion kit several years ago. Tried it a couple of times but couldn't get the hang of it. Might have to try it again on the smoker this time. What kind of onion are you using. It's good to hear a Hawk fan say that. There aren't many that can or will. So I thank you for...

    Meatloaf

    Great looking meatloaf. In what section of Wal-Mart did you find the wire rack? I would like to get me a few of those. Looks like it would work real real well for fatties and ABT's.

    Fishy question

    Sorry Dude, Never smoked a catfish. The only fishing I do is 1 week each summer a few of us guys go to Canada and fish for Walleye, Pike and Bass. Occasionally my neighbor will take me to a public pond north of Ames that is loaded with Bass but it is catch and release. Still a lot of fun but...

    The only thing better than smoking...

    Walking, We need to swich places. We have Dish Network and get the Big 10 network and almost every Hawkeye game (not complaining) but we don't get to see hardly any Clones games because they are carried by Media Com. (now I'm complaining)

    Fishy question

    I have smoked Walleye, Bass and Northern Pike several times. It has always turned out very good. That is now how my wife wants it fixed every time. I just put the fish on a sheet of aluminum foil moisten it with a little olive oil then mix a little lemon juice and melted butter and drizzle that...

    T-Bone Help

    I agree with MCM. But instead of worchestershire I put the T-bones in a small bakeing dish and pour 2 or 3 shots of whiskey or burboun over them and let them sit in that for about 30 minutes. I then season them with about any kind of salt based rub and let them sit another 10 minutes then onto a...

    Boston Butt - $1.59 lb

    I just saw an ad in the paper where the local HyVee grocery store has Boneless Boston Butt Pork Roast for $1.59 per pound. My first thought was "this is an excellent price" but after thinking about it I'm not so sure. I have never bought a boneless butt. What do all of you think? Is that a good...
