    Forth of July weekend baby back smoke

    I built a small smoker over the winter for our cabin at the lake of the Ozarks.  While I had tested it a few times on small things, burgers, brauts, fatties, chicken pieces, abt's, I'd never did a long smoke.  We had nine people going this weekend, 4 adults and 5 teenagers, we figured we'd...

    Which works better.

    I've made them 3 different ways.  Halved, whole, and halved put back together (if that makes sense).  I prefer halved.  Easy to stuff, bite sized and they go further (as a hors d'oeuvre).  Also, since not everyone likes the spice, it's easier to clear if of seeds and membranes.

    smoker built from air compressor tank or LP tank?

    I made a small smoker from an old 22gal compressor tank and and 20# LP tank.  It's not fancy, but it works just fine.

    ABT'S ahead of time

    I think he's talking about prepping them (stuffing and wrapping) then cooking them the next day.  I've prepped  them the day before a smoke then smoked them as normal.  They were fine and dandy with no appreciable difference.

    Thanks gang. :-)  It really is a lot of fun.  We did a bunch of yard work yesterday, then in the late afternoon we cracked a beer and sat out in the lawn and just admired our hard work.  My wife is really the green thumb however.  I just take orders well. :-D The tree machine was very cool to...

    We only have one rose left...gave away (or killed) the rest.  It happens.  It's got about 6 blooms on it right now. A few updated pictures. :)

    It may not be rocket surgery...or brain science, but it certainly takes a knack and lots of practice.

    I guess I do have one picture of our new tree. Our first rose of the year.   The veggie garden is doing great.  Amy harvested her first mess of beets yesterday.  The tomatoes have been in the ground for 2 weeks and coming along good as is our green beans. Yeah, we grow our veggies in the...

    In addition to the garden, we had to replace a tree. Last year, we lost our big Elm tree. While Elms are not that desirable IMO, it was a BIG tree that provided much shade in the summer. Last Spring it leafed out like normal, then just as quickly, the leaves dried up and the tree died. Go...

    Time for change...

    When we first built our home we didn't know much about gardening, so we planted just about anything in our side garden. Over the years, our indiscretion caught up with us. It was truly getting unruly and IMO unsightly. Also, we were experiencing a good amount of settling at the foundation.  So...

    My Daily Bread

    Looks good.  I must have done something right, as my bread looked similar in shape/size.

    OK, now what? (sourdough)

    You're tutorial was great, I really appreciate it.  There was a combination of factors really, I didn't let it rest before I kneaded, kneaded in a bit much flour, left it in the fridge too long...so on and so forth.  The wife pulled it of the fridge at about 1-2pm today, so it had been in for...

    It made bread.  Not great, but edible for sure.

    It's kneaded up and doing the initial proof...we'll see what happens.

    OK, now what? (sourdough)

    Awesome, thank you, that is just what I was looking for. By the ratios (I've been using a kitchen scale) when I feed my colony it's 50g starter/50g AP flour/30g water. So at about 130g, I could take out my normal 50g and feed it and use the rest to start a loaf? Just a couple clarifications...

    OK, now what? (sourdough)

    I love sourdough bread.  I'd attempted to grow a couple of starters over the years with no luck.  After reading through all the threads here, I decided to give it another go.  One of the threads led me to the pineapple juice method.  I didn't have any pineapple juice, but we did have some...

    Needing help in KC area.

    I picked up some expanded steel at Westlake/Ace off 7 highway in Olathe.  I never could find any at Home Depot, so a smaller hardware store may be your best bet for small purchases.

    coffee

    PSA: if using a moka-pot, don't forget about it on the stove. You will get the nastiest cup a joe this side of the greasy spoon dinner.
