    Rib Primer

    Your original post said ". . . no wood, no rub, no spritzing . . ." If there is no wood, where is the smoke/smoke flavor coming from?

    No cream cheese/?

    I'm with Rivet: shred the other cheese you want to use and mix it with cream cheese. Just use a little CC if you don't like the taste; it makes everything stick together. Part of the idea of the cream cheese is that it offsets the heat of the japs, but if you don't like the taste of cream...

    How Man Bottles Are In Your Home???

    0. Don't buy sauce, and when I make it I keep it in plastic containers, not bottles. It's always gone in a day or two. Don't buy marinades; use 'em the day I make 'em.

    What's your sauce?

    Some like it hot. Some like it sweet. Some like tomato, some like mustard. But the fact that there are several thousand sauce recipes and almost as many bottled sauces indicates that most of us like sauce of some kind on our smoked meat. So, what's your choice? Do you prefer sauce that is...

    Quick smoked green chili cheese burgers W/Qview And A Storrm Brewing W Rainbows

    Yoshida's web site says it is available at Sam's and Costco. I shop at both occasionally, but never looked for it.

    Who does the cooking at your house?

    It's me, now. For the first 40 years we were married, the kitchen was my wife's; I just cooked outdoors. But then she had back surgery and couldn't stand up long enough to cook anything, so I had to do the cooking. When she recovered, she said, "You like cooking, don't you?" I admitted that...

    carnitas (q-view, traditionally cooked)

    Love Carnitas. When I lived in S. California, the carnitas tasted more like the barbecue I ate growing up in Georgia than any of the alleged barbecue that you could buy. At least that was the case until shortly before I moved when a guy from Memphis retired from the air force and opened a pit...

    Searing beef. Needed or not.

    Alton Brown did an experiment with searing on Food Network, measuring the weight of meat of seared and unseared meat to see if more liquid cooked out of one than the other. Conclusion: searing absolutely does not "seal in juices." It does add some flavor. His method of cooking steak is to...

    BBQ Turkey Q/view

    That bird looks great. I'm curious why you say: "DO NOT TRY AND LIFT TURKEY WITH THE COOKIE SHEET FROM THE BBQ!"

    My chucks always seem to take a bit longer than the standard 1.5 hours per pound estimate, but I think 8 hours would be pretty safe.

    Just salt

    Was watching cooking shows on PBS yesterday and there was a segment on Dreamland Barbecue in Tuscaloosa, AL. Never ate there, but know it has a good reputation. For years Dreamland served nothing but ribs. Now they have ribs and banana pudding. They're been in business about 60 years, so they...

    What A Pair Of Legs W/Qview

    Nothing better than lamb, IMHO. Unfortunately, wife disagrees rather vehemently. I have to stick to chops because even though I have a healthy appetite, a whole leg is a bit much for me.

    Meatloaf and Tater w/q-view

    Yes, the I is nice, but isn't it Michigan State's colors? Doesn't matter; everything really looks great.

    GOSM at Wally World!

    I think this must be the smallest one, but unless you plan on feeding a lot of people it is plenty big. (I've heard that the Walmart model isn't exactly same as those at Bass Pro Shop; lighter metal, but it works fine for me.) At $74, buy 'em all.

    Where to stick the thermometer

    First thing you want to do is check the ET-73 for accuracy. Boil some water, stick the probe in it and see if it shows 212. I'm betting that it will be pretty close. If that's the case, go with the ET-73's reading and ignore the installed thermomemter. Don't have any experience with your unit...

    Anyone prefer, Gasp... Grilled ribs?

    Before I got my smoker, I had a recipe for ribs braised in a foil packet in the oven, then finished on the grill. Not as good as smoked IMHO, but not bad, and those who like "falling off the bone" ribs love them. My wife thinks they're as good as those from the smoker.

    Do Beef Ribs use 3-2-1?
