    Electric Knives

    I find that the Sawz-All is a great electric knife.  I can go from cutting drywall, to cutting the chicken, then to cutting a steel pipe without ever having to to change the blade.  Then I use my Ginsu knife for the more delicate cuts. But seriously, I have a decent set of knives and a Black...

    Pumpkin.....question

    I typically use jack-o-lantern style pumpkins so I am not sure if the same applies, but I bake @ 350 until fork soft, puree and then freeze.   I use these types of pumpkins and to compensate for the sweetness between these and the baking pumpkins I just add an additional 1/4cup  of sugar for...

    Has The Economy Effected Your BBQ Decisions?

    I know I posted here before, but since then I have started looking at what my wife and I are spending on food and what we can do to reduce costs.  I am making sure that all that I make gets eaten and looked for those meats marked for quick sale at the local grocery store.  I take the cuts and...

    Has The Economy Effected Your BBQ Decisions?

    It has hit me hard.  I went from massive OT to no OT.  We were saving for a new house and now almost living paycheck to paycheck (trying to to touch the new house fund). I was able to smoke almost every weekend and now I have only smoked once since the start of the year.  I was fortunate to get...

    Big Ribs, Little Smoker

    Tell your wife that best Valentine's Day present that she can give you, is letting you get a new smoker.  Giving your wife roses and diamonds as you are making this comment also helps. Worse case you can be like me and get really frustrated with your old smoker and she tells you to buy a new...

    SOLD - Shun Ken Onion 8" Chefs Knife

    Are the Shun knives really worth the money?  I have a cousin getting married and they asked for close to $5,000 worth of these things.

    PLEASE, do no post multiple times with the same content

    As a previous forum master, these were one of the bains of my existence.  After many clean ups, I finally figured out that there were two main causes. 1. User not refreshing the page to confirm that their post made it. 2. Hosting provider.  - Since most sites are hosted on shared servers, when...

    Off taste when eating Hickory Smoked Que

    As I have been traveling lately, I have been tasting something "funky" in the Que at various restaurants.  For some reason when I have been eating Que smoked with Hickory, I can taste something that I can only describe as a wet sand taste.  It tastes as someone has taken a bucket of beach and...

    WHAT IS EVERYBODY SMOKING, GRILLING, FRYING, OR STEWING FOR THE SUPER BOWL?

    I know, I know, but we are having tough times right now so I am trying to pick my battles.  I rather battle her eating something other than hamburgers and hot dogs off the grill, than putting the new smoker up. I have done, briskets, ribs, ABTs, Fatty's pulled pork, pork loin and a few other...

    WHAT IS EVERYBODY SMOKING, GRILLING, FRYING, OR STEWING FOR THE SUPER BOWL?

    Sadly, I am doing nothing for the game.  I gave my neighbor my old SFB when I received my new pellet pooper.  However, the misses won't let me build it until our backyard is complete.

    New smoker in hawaii

    I have used a few different CGs with and without the SFB.  I find that having the SFB is a must.  Also search this forum for examples on a charcoal basket for the SFB, without this long smokes are almost impossible. I also used a wire grilling basket for a few years as a charcoal basket in the...

    As a vistor, what should I expect at BBQ competition

    As BBQ competition time is starting up for the year, I start to think about the competitions that I visited last year, and started to wonder if this is how all competitions are. I went to one comp where you could buy tickets to sample food at some of the competitors.  It was set up so that you...
