    Who Is This Fellar?

    There is a knock off called Hi-Boy in Missouri. Looks similar with the same pose with the burger. Sort of like McDonalds/McDowells.

    New Here from Central Illinois

    I've been known to kick a poo or two. I grew up in Canton, a few miles further west.

    Boiling Your Ribs Tutorial

    Bland, bland, bland. Those claims of "this is ____ good" were talking about the sauce. An hour over 212 degrees renders all the fat (read flavor).

    Smoking a Tuna Steak

    I think the easiest way to do what you want is to use a smoker box on the grill, or even just some chunks tossed on the grill. Get the smoke going and the grill hot and then grill normally for 2-3 minutes each side (I like mine pretty rare). That will give it a nice kiss of smoke while not...

    tikka hens........

    That is some awesome looking Indian food. Have you tried jasmine rice? It's sort of perfumey in a sense. No other rice tastes like it.

    Is it just me?

    We started eating healthier about a year and a half ago. Admitted, it is a huge adjustment at first, but you get used to it. Besides, there are things you can do to get flavor into the blandest cuts. I use lots of EVOO and fresh herbs and do a lot of marinading. Salmon has tons of flavor. If you...

    How many years have you been smoking?

    I guess that brings it to 230 yrs, 7 months. I've been smoking since the year my son was born and he is 23 now. New total = 253 years, 7 months.

    1st Time Smokin and Eatin Lamb: Not My Last!

    I'm currently unemployed as well and we have to watch the pennies too. A lot of times the grocery stores will have reasonably priced ground lamb next to the more expensive cuts. Lamburgers are great smoked or grilled. I even did a lamb fatty last summer. It had feta, fresh mint, Greek olives...

    Drying Cilantro Question?

    I'm all for using the dehydrator, but herbs are best left green IMO. We chop them and put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. After they are frozen pop them out and put them in a zip bag and back into the freezer. Use what you need when you need it. I just throw the frozen cubes right into...

    Question about the water pan for a vertical smoker...

    First off, what greenhorn had to say about the foil is great advice, and one of the functions of the water pan to maintain temperature. If you wanted you could try using play sand in the pan to hold the heat, but it will take longer to come to temperature and IMHO not give you the moisture that...

    old fashon potato soup (1800's)

    You nailed my Grandma's oyster soup we always had at Christmas. The fry time on the oysters is a little long for my taste (I like them a little slippery), but the rest is exactly the same. I'm the only one in my house that likes oysters so I'll have to wait until the good fresh ones come in, but...

    WTF??? My chimney starter exploded!!!

    Wow, I never even thought about such a thing happening. I have always set my chimneys on a couple of firebricks spaced apart, but only to get better airflow. Recently I switched to using the propane fryer to start them. Another example of a fool dodging a bullet without even knowing it.

    Two lessons learned this morning

    Learned the same lesson on my New Braunfels. "You gotta keep it in the draft to make it go anywhere." (Dale Earnhardt, 1982).

    Fruit woods losing flavor

    I haven't tried the grapevine yet, but it is woody and does produce a fruit, so... I'm going to walk over and gather some more today. It's only about a quarter mile from the house. I want to get it before it starts to green up.
