    OK, here's my Qview #1..

    Nice job on the ribs! Did anybody else notice you started with 10 ribs, but only 7 made it to the table? Always a good sign! Thanks for the bean recipe, too. I'll be trying them soon.

    What is EVOO, anyway?

    I know it stands for extra virgin olive oil, but how is it different from regular olive oil? Come to think of it, it seems that ALL olive oil marketed for cooking is labelled extra virgin.

    First attempt at making sausage

    Yes, definitely freeze what you don't eat right away, in meal-size portions. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, you can double wrap in saran wrap and then freezer paper. Both methods work equally well for me, and seem to take about the same amount of time.

    How Much Do You Spend on This Hobby?

    I voted before I saw the criteria and said under $500, figuring the mods I made to FrankenFridge, smoke woods, and sausagemaking supplies. I didn't figure in the cost of the meat itself, since I would still be buying meat to cook some other way. Adding the meat cost changes things!

    Getting the ° symbol for degrees

    ° It worked for me, but the asterisk works too and is more convenient. I think everyone here knows 225* means 225 degrees. Itis nice to be able to actually write 225° though. Thanks for the tip!

    Need opinions on logo

    It was a toss-up for me between 1 and 3. I didn't even notice the "custom..." line on 3 until I read Scarbelly's post and went back, so definitely make that larger. IMHO put wispy smoke in the background on 1 for the whole width of the decal, separate western and smoker, and change customer to...

    Hutch's Smoker Build

    Looks like a great build, but won't forced air in the firebox lead to airborne ash entering your cook chamber and getting on the food?

    Reporting for Roll Call

    Welcome to the forum. That was good of you to help out your neighbor like you did. If you're interested in finding out the make and model of your new smoker, post some qview of it and maybe somebody will recognize it. We'd all love to see qview of your cleanup and mods in progress if you have...

    Brand new memeber complaining already

    Want some cheese with your whine? Just kidding! Welcome to the forums. I'm not colorblind, but it also took me a bunch of refreshes to get a security screen I could read. I'm glad you stuck it out, and in no time you will be glad too. Hopefully you've noticed that as a newbie voicing a...

    How do you like your qview???

    I like the start to finish qview of everything, including the final product being enjoyed by family or honored guests. While any qview presentation method is way better than no qview at all, I much prefer to see the screen-sized qview right in the post rather than a mini-pic I have to click on...

    Sausage linking help

    Thanks for that link, Scarbelly. I'm going to try that the next time I make deer sausage, seven long months from now. I still didn't catch how he got each link exactly the same length.

    Best kind of sausage casing?

    This is certainly thinking outside the box! Since you're only smoking the sausage separately for an hour or two, I would use sheep casings or collagen to get a small diameter and more surface area for smoke penetration. Then serve the final product sliced on hamberger buns. Let us know how it...

    What a deal for somebody! But if Tyrone to Athens is too far, Tyrone to Neche certainly is! Looks to be in great shape.

    Looking for a list of what used to rub fatty with

    Rubs are optional on fatties. I think it might be more common NOT to use them, but if you want to any rub you would use for a pork butt or ribs would be fine. Good luck with your first fatties, and we're all looking forward to the qview. Way to dive right in and do three at once too! Are you...
