    Does anyone leave the membrane on baby backs?

    Take it off baby. I bought catfish skinning pliers that are dedicated to membrane pulling.

    Kuwait BBQ W/ Q-View

    for good looking Q-view and innovation under crap circumstances. Reminds me of when I served my buddies a venison roast that I cooked in an oven in our shipboard foundry one Thanksgiving. Thanks for what you are doing for us and you and your pals get home soon and safe.

    Newbie question..MES not smokey enough?

    I sort of had the same issue when I was getting used to my 40" 1200 watter. It incinerates the chips pretty quickly. I do not soak, and actually started to reduce the number of chips going in. I add them every 20 minutes for three hours (well, depending on what's smoking), and empty the chip...

    growing taters

    I dig trenches about a foot deep and then lay in about 3 -4 inches of compost. I plant the eyes into the compost and then hoe in the displaced soil around the plants starting when they are about 3 inches tall. I do that until the soil is level with the rest of the garden. Never use straw in...

    Hold your water!

    Here's where the last hose runs to. It is a commercial rain barrel I bought a couple of years ago. This is another one I built. It takes the water from my neighbor"s illegal patio cover. We get along well now.

    Stuffed Calf Liver

    Not a problem man. I grow more onions than I can possibly use. Now y'all have got me thinking about smoked Rumaki, the appetizer from the 70's with chicken livers wrapped in bacon. Bacon, ahhhhhhhhhh.....

    Stuffed Calf Liver

    I guess this could be considered a fatty of sorts, but here is my story and I'm sticking to it. We had a thread going a while back about liver. It is a given that liver gets about a 50/50 between yum and yuck. I wanted to try something on the smoker that was a new twist on liver and onions. This...

    Hold your water!

    I've had such crap luck uploading photos to SMF. I hope I finally got it right. Apparently I'm photo impaired. Anyway, I pieced this water retention system together over the months using almost entirely recycled (free) materials. We got less than 1/8" of rain last night and it filled 1 1/2 of...

    chicken dumpling soup w/qview

    That is exactly what my German Great Grandmother called pot pie. I can still hear her with her accent saying pot pie. It was chicken and dumplings to everyone else, but undeniably delicious. I still try to make it taste like hers with little success. Hers got a thickness from the dumplings that...

    Best slaw for PP sandwiches???

    Yep, this is the way to treat your cabbage. Pulls the bitter taste from it. Then: 1/3 cup mayo 1 TBSP lime juice 2 Tsp honey 1/4 Tsp cumin 1/4 Tsp ground chipotle ( I use canned in adobo sauce and about 2 TBSP) 3 cups shredded green cabbage 3/4 cup whole kernel corn 3/4 cup chopped red sweet...

    cooked shrimp

    Never, ever, ever, ever buy precooked shrimp. They might have been cooked by ronp's former employee. There are lots of good techniques for cooking them, but the most important point is to not go too long. I have access to pretty white gulf shrimp that were swimming yesterday. I like them best...

    MES fixed & wheel kit added

    Beware when adding casters to your MES. My patio concrete is over 50 years old and it is pretty rough so I decided to use 4" diameter casters I saw at Lowe's ($10 for all 4) to help it roll better. Bad decision. Apparently the 5" minimum overall height of the caster caused too much torque when...

    Most tedious Fatty ever!!!

    Excuse me now please. I need to go get some chopsticks from the kitchen and stab my eyes out. Some people should never be allowed to cook, let alone capture it on video.

    This years pepper and tomato plants

    My peppers are kicking butt so far. They always take so long to fully mature that last year I started planting potatoes in the ground and peppers in containers. When the potatoes are harvested I transplant the peppers into the same space. I do a four year rotation in the garden so this gives me...

    Any House builders out there ?

    I believe I'd ran a chain through a basement window to the support and hitched it to the truck. If there was no window maybe it's time for one. Lots safer than a football helmet.

    My take on mustard.

    The el cheapo mustard just goes away for me flavor wise. Expensive mustards seem to be a waste when your rub should be giving the flavor. I use EVOO because of the HDL cholesterol benefits. JMHO.

    Has anyone ever smoked a while Cauliflower?

    I'm thinking you could gently core it and do something similar to this smoked cabbage: http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...hlight=cabbage I haven't done one yet but it is a list item. I wouldn't think you would want to fully close the foil and steam it. Cauliflower is a lot more delicate...
