    Resources for buying meat. Price is getting ridiculous...

    In my area I have learned that the smaller chains usually have been having better prices than the bigger chains.  This weekend I went to a small mom & pop Mexican store and they were selling tri-tip for $4.99/lb marinated or not and whole chickens for 75 cents/lb.  Then I went two blocks down...

    What're YOU smokin this weekend? How? Why? Method?

    It is funny,  just after I replied my wife started pushing for me to hold off on smoking as we are about to have our backyard (if you can call it that) torn up for new sod and finally a cover for our patio.  So it may be even longer before I can play with my new toy, or even use my old one.

    What're YOU smokin this weekend? How? Why? Method?

    I got nothing for this weekend.  I spent last weekend ordering my new Pellet Pooper (GMG Jim Bowie), so now I am waiting for it to arrive.  It is going to have to wait til this weekend to put it together, but they are calling for rain (and I have no cover) so it will have to wait for the...

    Our wives must have talked.  Mine gave me the go ahead to get a pellet pooper as well. Mine wanted a Thomas Kinkade painting, so I said you get the painting and I get the smoker and she agreed.

    Question. How noisy

    If know it is off topic,  but I have cordial relationship with my neighbors, so I just let them know the day before that I am doing an overnight smoke and no complaints so far.  Though, some called the cops for my grass being too green.

    Looking for a new smoker.

    After fighting issues with my CG Outlaw w/sfb for almost 3 yrs, I am ready to change my smoker.  I going to have a small bonus coming from work so I am looking at something in the $300-$400 range and am kind of leaning toward the MES30 or 40, but what other choices are out there?  I would like...

    1st Smoke Help - Tri-tip

    I have a CG offset, so I am unable to help about the water pan or rack location.  However,  I prefer to pull my tri-tips off at the 140-145 mark (just something about the 140 mark, makes me feel better about bacteria).  I also tend to insert the probe at the beginning of the smoke and leave it...

    SUPERBOWL SMOKE

    I get the duty of doing ribs, brisket and tr-tip, plus a few burgers and dogs for the kids.  I am going to try and sneak a few ABTs on there as well. Something about having the 60 inch tv with 3D automatically makes you the party house.

    Vodka and Lime New York Strip - with Q-View

    I started off with a New Your Strip steak and a Ball Tip Roast, and was looking for a different marinade to try.  However with low on funds I had to make something with what I have around the house.  I stumbled on the following recipe and decided to give it a shot on both pieces...
