    First time ever buying racks of ribs !

    So after the complete slagging I've taken this week (no more comment ;-), I thought. Right lets find some ribs and do the job properly. So off to costco I went - as it's the only shop I've seen them. You can buy very small racks elsewhere but generally they've already been cooked and sauced -...

    BBQ Honey Country Ribs W/Qview & Slide Show

    food looks great - but how are those ribs ? Doesn't appear to be a bone in sight and they look identical to the pork shoulder chops I get from costco. Confused :-)

    Andouille with QView

    wow some excellent looking sausage all round here. For the pig casings I add some vinegar to the water I soak them in. Softens the casing, makes it stretchier and easier to work with. Most of the instructions on the packets I've seen have you soaking for hours. I use dry casings packed in...

    Full Pit Smokin...10-05-08

    love the bbq song - explains a lot about this forum ;-) Great looking smoker too. Like the way you've even used the warming rack :-) Be interested to know how the rabbit comes out - got quite a few in our freezer.

    First Try Lessons Learned

    Well the tastes the most important - and it looked like a decent selection of fillings :-) Got to ask - what do you keep in the cages behind the smoker - look like either bird cages or some type of small critters. Just spotted the hanging coconut husks - really intrigued now :-) Also...

I know one of the guys involved in 'unusual' money raising schemes for the church and he sent this to me this morning. They have a teddy bear day with rides for kids teddys. One of...

    Paprika bacon, How to make...

    How can you POSSIBLY eat or condone the making of this stuff ! IT'S BEEN BOILED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grab your pitchforks and torches boys, we've got us a hungarian to lynch ! or.. Was it simply a necessary part of the whole process ? Hmm, maybe hot water can be used in cooking -...

    Rib Reviver and yet another Cardinal sin.

    Okay - it seems that many of you have suffered a serious sense-of-humour-bypass. Lets look at this sensibly. I had cheap ribs - very little time to process them they were coated with the equivalent of cs gas (probably worse). ANY OTHER WAY OF PROCESSING THEM WOULD NOT HAVE WORKED. If you...

    How to do trout

    did a couple recently. Kept it simple. headed and gutted. Rubbed inside and out with evoo and just smoked to 165 (laid the probed in the belly cavity up against the spine. That by itself was excellent. next time I'll probably pick some herbs and bay leaves from the garden and stuff the trout...

    Looking for recipe for sausage with chillis

    lol he did say it was for a pound. Anyway costco had a bag of dried cherries (I was thinking glace cherries which are horrible - the dried one are really good). So I've got all the stuff for the recipe. Knock some up before the week end and smoke a few :-)

    Snack sticks and Coho - Qview

    ah store bought lemon flavouring. Probably had some artificial lemon flavour and (sometimes lemongrass) in it. That'd probably account for the sour taste. make your own - use dried lemon peel and grind to a powder. Or better still use fresh lemon zest. Though lemony sanck sausage isn't...

    friend from another forum pointed me in this direction after He mentioned smoking a fatty and I wandered how large a joint it was ;-) I've always been interested in cooking and food. Last couple of years I've got into gourmet grilling big time, planning on going professional next year. Had my...

    Rib Reviver and yet another Cardinal sin.

    Lmao - gay men boil meat ? Hey i guess you'd have to be 'in on the secret' to know that right ? Glad you knew enough to enlighten us ;-) The reason these ribs were boiled in the first place was gone into in detail in another post. I got them real cheap, they weren't racks of ribs - those are...

    First Salmon w/Q-View

    the brine (sounds more like a dry cure to me anyway) was NOT why the salmon tasted salty. THAT was why it tasted salty. Never use store rubs they are pretty much always mostly salt. Why make your own quality cure and then use a store rub ? It's all a learning curev hopefully you've learned...

    The 1st BBQ Comp I ever observed in Flushing MI

    Man - that's just not good. Is that normal ? I can't imagine making it all the way over to a bbq comp in the states and not being able to eat anything. Great pictures and great result :-)

    A Hello and a tale of woe from Upstate NY

    One of the fun things about this forum is that you have an eager audience all through the day's smoke. So start taking and posting the q-view and if you hit a snag part way through a smoke there's ALWAYS someone around the forum to put you right :-) You're no longer a sad man stood alone in a...
