    First attempt at 'Bacon Burnt Ends' - Meh...

    Good call! I was thinking about trying a small test batch of sorts to see if its improved any. Ill definitely post my results!

    First attempt at 'Bacon Burnt Ends' - Meh...

    Thanks for the suggestions peeps! But unfortunately I think the only way to save these bad boys would be to deep fry them. They have already been cut into cubes, smoked and sauced. It was afterwords that I realized that there was a tough piece of leather on one side of the cubes. I...

    First attempt at 'Bacon Burnt Ends' - Meh...

    Meh... Possibly... But the old adage comes into play here Im afraid. GIGO. Garbage in Garbage out. Ill find some unsuspecting victims to dump them off on, or just dump them :( Its a crappy smoke like this that makes me not so disappointed with an 8+ hour smoke of a chucky for burnt ends.

    First attempt at 'Bacon Burnt Ends' - Meh...

    Well yeah... *If* I had foreseen this to be an issue before I started the cook. The problem was the fact that these were (apparently) cheapish slab bacon strips that I had picked up from this 'farmers market'. Honestly I think that this is a case of smoke and learn. They aren't 'bad'...

    First attempt at 'Bacon Burnt Ends' - Meh...

    Im on the tail end of my first attempt at some bacon burnt ends (that of course I stumbled across on the interwebs) After thoroughly enjoying some (first time) chucky burnt ends, I thought I would try my hand at these bacon candies. Of course everything is a learning experience for the...

    How long does smoked cheese last?

    Consensus here says that smoked cheeses are fine as long as they are vac sealed and no mold is present. In fact some claim they are even better when aged that long.

    Maiden Cheese Smoking Attempt

    Okay, so I got antsy and tried a lone piece of havarti stick just to see how its advanced. Still a bit harsh, but I can definitely see how it has mellowed (even over a week) I think that the 2-3 week mark might in fact be the sweet spot (if not longer) It wasn't terrible but it most...

    What flavor of todd's pellets

    We cant exactly say what is right for you and your smokes, I think we are merely sharing our opinions of what works best for us. Yes, I would say that the 2# assorted deal would do you well and give you a good spectrum of what works best for YOU. For what its worth, one row of the AMNPS...

    What flavor of todd's pellets

    Personally, the apple is one of my faves. They burn well and add a wonder profile to most anything I do. Pecan is delicious as well, and Pitmasters Choice is always a solid pick too. As far as the cherry goes, Ive had limited success in keeping them lit. (Even when mixed with other...

    Maiden Cheese Smoking Attempt

    Interesting... I *may* just have to sample some of the cheeses to see how they fared. My MB does go through a couple of feet of hose to get into the smoker. And I *did* separate my cheeses into separate bags. 1 each for the test subjects, and the rest (by cheese) in their own bags. All...

    Maiden Cheese Smoking Attempt

    Well today was the day - The lady was ribbing me about smoking most everything BUT CHEESE. So, while at the store I picked up a few hunks on sale as well as some sticks. On the racks were: Pepper Jack, Sharp Cheddar, Colby Jack, and Mozzarella. I also did some sticks of Havarti and Poly-O...
