    Any good Q restaurants in the Des Moines area??

    I am going out on the road for work the week after next, and will be doing what I always do when I travel, looking for good places to eat. I will be staying for at least a week just outside of Des Moines, IA and ma wondering if anybody knows of some good Q places to hit up while I am there. Also...

    Burgers

    I have not tried mixing in oat or ground pork or anything like that, but it sure sounds like it would work well. The burgers I have been making recently have gotten good praise though. I have been using 85% beef and making burgers in the 1/3 pound range. I flatten out the beef and put finely...

    Couple of Butts - Q-view!

    Looking good Dave. The bark is beautiful on that and it looks very tasty. I have a butt sitting in my freezer that I am going to have to smoke soon, but thinking of doing another chicken this weekend. I have been doing whole chickens skinless lately and they have been coming out really good...

    Couple of Butts - Q-view!

    Was at the Brew myself on Friday night for a couple of beers. Buddy of mine told me about the Q thing in Brookline but was unable to go this year. Maybe next time.

    Couple of Butts - Q-view!

    DaveNH, I think I can smell them from my desk at work. If you see a red Mini Cooper with black stripes in your neighborhood, that is me trying to track you down to get some of that great looking pork. Hey Lord of the Ring and blmoore20, I am a Manchvegas resident. Good to see a few more...

    Cooking steaks straight over wood?

    I actually did mine over open flame, but using a fish basket with a long handle. I held the steak above the flame for the most part, but the flame did hit it from time to time. The steak did not get charred at all and was still very tender and juicy. My girl is not a big fan of camping, so I...

    Cooking steaks straight over wood?

    Years ago, I went camping with a bunch of friends and I cooked a steak over the camp fire using a fish basket. It was the most delicious steak I have ever eaten and I always think back to that every time I eat steak. Was cooked of a camp fire with sugar maple for wood. This was long before I...

    ABT's w/ lil smokies??

    I just made some last weekend with lil polskies which are just small kielbasa and they were unbelievable. I made 30 of them for people at a party and they were gone in 15 minutes. Haven't tried it with the lil smokies yet, but sure it will be about the same.

    Brisket recommendations???

    OK, I can do 190-195 and all in one sitting, but will need to start the night before. What temp do you think I should take it off the smoke at, was thinking probably 140 since it probably will not take on much more smoke after that and the ring will be done. Then put it into the roaster for the...

    Brisket recommendations???

    I bought a brisket flat yesterday to make an attempt at my very first brisket smoke. I am doing this one as a tryout since I plan on making one for a party next weekend and want to make sure I am doing things right before I make one for a ton of people. Anyway, the brisket is marinating since...

    Labor Day Weekend, What's Ya Smokin'

    Thinking of trying my first brisket on Thursday night into Friday then taking it with me as we are going away for the weekend. The weekend after, however, is another story. Doing a big party that weekend with pulled pork, chicken, ribs, brisket, Dutch's beans, ABT's and who knows what else. I...

    Naked Chicken

    I have tried to do it that way before and it still did not come out as good as without the skin. I did the same prep both ways with brine and beer can, and without skin was still better. I am not sure if the chicken was able to take on more moisture from the brine because there was no skin or...

    Naked Chicken

    Was having friends over the other night that I had not seen in a while and decided to cook a chicken for them. Due to some recent health concerns for my girl and myself, I decided to go the route that I have been doing successfully with drumsticks for several months now. This chicken was going...

    Rednecks go to the mall

    A redneck family from the hills was visiting the city and they were in a mall for the first time in their lives. The father and son were strolling around while the wife shopped. They were amazed by almost everything they saw, but especially by two shiny, silver walls that could move apart and...

    Famous Dave's BBQ

    Manchester NH is not a place known for it's BBQ, but we do have a FD's here. I have yet to have a good meal there. I make so much better food than they do and can come up with a better BBQ sauce on the fly than anything they have. I do like the Devil's Spit BBQ sauce a bit, but I can still do...

    Salmon Smoking?

    I did some about 2 weeks ago. I used a traditional 1 cup to 1 gallon water salt brine with a few other hers and spices mixed in. Brined 24 hours. I then used a store bought rub that someone had gotten for me to try (I believe it was made by Weber) that was specifically for fish. I hot smoked...

    Looking for a decent store baught sauce...

    If I am not using Jeff's sauce, I use this stuff that I found called Alligator Bayou. It is by far the best store bought sauce I have ever had, a little sweet, a little spice, a lot of garlic. It is kind of hard to find, but if you see it, pick some up.

    Spritz/Mop advice for spareribs

    My last batch of ribs was about 50/50 with fresh pressed apple juice and Pusser's Rum. Had a hard time using so much of that rum on food instead of drinking it, but it came out very nice. Just sweet enough yet with that oak like flavor that comes from that particular rum. They were the best ribs...
