    Heirloom Gardening

    Yep, that's your guy. They produce the cleanest and best heirloom seeds in the country. Also, coming from a central location, it is suited to grow most anywhere. Good folks.

    My new ABT toy

    I got one just like it for free when I bought my jalapeno rack. It works like a champ. Try using it to core out Roma tomatoes. It takes out all of the pulp and seeds and leaves nothing but meat. It works really well on apples too.

    Found a burner for smokehouse

    Hey Pops, if you are still looking for high temp gasket material and adhesive you might try an Ace Hardware store. I got mine at Elliott's in Dallas where they sell it by the foot in different thicknesses. I don't know if every Ace does that, and that might be a bit of a drive for you. Try...

    Smoked Roma tomatoes?

    I usually put them on when I'm smoking a brisket. Low and slow at about 225. The tomatoes will only take about 45 minutes to an hour to pick up the smoke. Typically you'll be using them in another recipe so you don't want to cook them too much. You'll need to find the hot spots on your smoker...

    Hold your water!

    I don't know where else to post this so it is going under Ideas. I've been playing around with rainwater retention for over a year now. I have one rain barrel that I bought, and another that I built. I'm now working on a system that uses four 55 gallon drums piped in series with the 40 gallon...

    'American Chopper' Canceled

    IMO, Paul Sr built the franchise and he can do whatever he pleases with the profits. It's his sons that are the spoiled divas. They got whatever they wanted and still want more. Jr's design work is junk so far. He's better off opening the boutique. Let's see where the sporty little girlfriend is...

    Lottery

    I would build a house high on a bluff somewhere near Crawford Texas, hopefully between the properties of George Bush and Ted Nugent. Talk about security! Those two are definitely neighbors I could live with. The wife and I would immediately retire. I would tend my garden, pamper the dogs, and...

    Chicken Myronnaise

    That is just awesome. Similar to Eggs Benedict, but with a twist. When the twist involves bacon it gets even better. Points for this one.

    Smoked Roma tomatoes?

    You can go right down the center of each one with a corer, like an apple corer. Once the centers are out the seeds and juice comes out leaving just the meat. Quarter that and then smoke them gently. You can use them for anything from salads to tomato sauce. Don't worry about losing the juice, as...

    What are you doing at this very moment...besides hanging out on the SMF?

    I guess it isn't such a secret recipe anymore. I'm ready to grill some chicken drums as soon as the wife gets released from the office. I've got red beans going with rice to follow. There will be a salad too. Since I have time, I'm sippin some bourbon and chasing with High Life Light. Simple...

    1st fatty help

    With 600# of sausage sitting around you will probably want to wait a while to try this. If you want to make a Greek style fatty, try making one with ground lamb. I made one stuffed with feta, Greek olives, peppers, and grape leaves. Here's the recipe for a rub I used, except I worked it into...

    American Chopper Building a Smoker?

    Vinnie and Cody have their own shop, V-Force Customs. http://www.vforcecustoms.com/ Apparently they got their own TV show, Throttle Junkies. It premiers on 2/14/10, but it looks like it is pretty limited on where it is showing.

    Smoked meats and Diabetics Please HELP

    With a good moderate diet and a fair amount of exercise you can reverse that type 2. You can smoke turkey, salmon, veggies, and yes, even lean pork until the diabetes is under control. Then you can start back on the brisket, ribs, and the like - in moderation. It was the overconsumption and...

    the 4 types of american bbq

    I like all the different sauces, but they are always served in a bowl next to your plate. I like to smoke meat with a dry rub and then allow the eater to sauce however much they want. over caramelized sauce can ruin some great meat.

    It just goes to show you, some mega corporations do care about their customers. Kudos to Heinze, Paul, and any unnamed accomplices. Congrats to Ron. Cheers!

    Fried Garlic Pwdr ?

    Now I don't know about garlic powder, but I have a recipe for broccoli raab (or rabe, or rapini) that starts by infusing oil with garlic. You thin slice the garlic and then toss it into some EVOO for a couple of minutes. The key is to not have your oil so hot as to fry the garlic. Like many said...

    No more smoke at my house--

    I quit almost 8 years ago. Used the patch. I had smoked for 22 years, and it was tough. I still have the desire from time to time, but it ain't worth it, especially at over $5.00 a pack these days.

    Do you wash your butt? and other meats?

    I wash my fatty after every time I use it, but that's off topic. The term "washing" the meat reminds me of the Three Stooges washing a chicken with soap. I prefer to rinse. Whatever meat you do choose to rinse, pat it dry with a paper towel after rinsing. If you need moisture to make your rub...

    How and why did you first start smoking meats?

    Growing up in central Illinois the only Q came once a year at the town festival. There was a man (the father of one of only two black families in the town of 15,000) who would set up a stand. He sold pulled pork sandwiches that were out of this world. I saved up my paper route money for months...
