    Brisket... what would you do?

    I never slice my brisket for the same reason. It always seems dry to me. Still, if you must have it sliced the only suggestion I have is adding a liquid when you put it in the oven. It would be more like braising at that point. Even though it is in foil, the oven is usually drier than going the...

    Ground sirloin/bison fatty (questions)

    Personally, I would only take it until the bacon wrap was done and not a second more. The sirloin and bison both have a very low fat content and it could dry out easily if left too long. I likes my red meats to still be red.

    Fruit woods losing flavor

    I've been wondering the same thing about some grapevine I recently cut. It is only about 1" diameter and it bled water out the ends when I cut it down. I guess I'll cut it to length for the MES and keep looking at it as it dries. It may be best to keep it a little moist.

    Bee-ware your first grilling of the season!

    Such a shame to see bees killed in that way. There are people who will come and get them without the carnage to a species we can't afford to lose. That said, a couple of years ago at my deer lease I started a gas grill that hadn't been used for about 6 months. Mice by the dozens came spilling...

    Census.....

    I feel your pain bud. I got the before letter, the actual census, and then the after letter. Heck, the 150k or so that they used to sponsor a racecar at Bristol is a drop in the bucket compared to this sort of waste.

    Twelve inch deep fryer thermometer works great on uds

    I have a Bayou Classic 12" and it is actually more accurate than most digitals. It came with my turkey fryer outfit.

    Smoking Crappie?

    I would never smoke crappie. They are way too delicate. If you feel like you must grill them do it on aluminum foil over low to medium temperature with a pat of butter or olive oil and your favorite seasoning. I prefer breaded and fried.

    Doot Doot Doot, Lookin' Out My Back Door!

    Woke up this morning to a nice (not so nice) blanket of snow. We have never had snow this late in the year. My poor garden is going to suffer. I covered the peppers and tomatoes, but the lettuce and other greens are just too much to cover. Potatoes are troopers and will do just fine. I would...

    Enjoying the fruits of my labor (qview)

    My grandad's specialty was fried potatoes and onions with Polish sausages sliced. He fried them up in a cast iron skillet and it is one of my favorite meals to this day. I'll have to try the boil that you showed. Thanks for the great new twist on an old favorite!

    Contamination ???

    Personally, I have a policy against eating anything with bluish green spots on it, except for cheese. Ain't died yet from the cheese, so it may be OK after all.

    Doot Doot Doot, Lookin' Out My Back Door!

    They're talking about snow here in North Texas tomorrow. All of my poor little plants in the garden are going to die. My wife is going to go bad on me when I put all of the bed sheets out on the ground.

    smoker names

    My ancient New Braunfles offset is named Noob, for apparent reasons. I think I'll name my new MES Doug, for no apparent reason.

    coffee

    We prefer French Roast. Very robust. I generally only drink coffee on the weekends, and we do it cowboy style over an open fire. We like to cook breakfast in cast iron skillets outside as well. Everything just tastes better that way.

    Hello from So. Illinois

    I'm sorry bud. Like with my best friend, it is something every Cardinal fan has to do. We love you guys, just not on any series we meet one another.

    Hello from So. Illinois

    You lost me at Cub Fan. Maybe next year!

    Hello from Israel

    avz - I understand the sensitive nature of the subject of consumable foods within different cultures and I totally respect everyone's choices. To me it is enjoyable that we each have our own preferences. For instance, last weekend my wife and I had Japanese food for lunch on Friday, we shopped...

    I have a pepper sprout!

    You can't get a tulip to bloom in Texas without sticking the bulb in the refrigerator for about 8 weeks. It just ain't gonna happen. Beer goes in the cooler. The ice maker works 24/7.

    Hello from Israel

    Hi avs. Welcome to the forum. What sort of meat will you be smoking? Here in the US we smoke just about everything, but I have no idea what is available or preferred by you. Here in Texas the preferred cut is brisket of beef. With Israel being a seafront state the seafood must be awesome. Good...

    Some bear hunting pics (Pic Heavy!)

    I've never been bear hunting, but a friend of mine had a can of bear bait labeled Ten Dead Horses. He opened it in the truck when we were deer hunting. It lived up to its name...

    Help identifiying a cooker

    I'm not familiar with that exact model of New Braunfles, but it certainly has their engineering going on. The latches and handles are correct. It looks like the heavier gauge of steel too, which is desireable. I don't know that I would pay $175 for it, but it did say negotiable. I'd probably go...
