    Mango

    Ive used pineapple juice as a glaze, never a chutney. Like chili says, you just have to cook it down, or reduce it. If you like, you could use the chutney with real fruit, crush the real fruit down, add it to (unsweetened) mango juice and reduce. Or just try the chutney and juice, reduce. My...

    For the Guys @ Work...

    This was just a little something special I did for a few of the guys in the office. 3 wanted rib plates, 2 more wanted whole slabs. I didnt put a price on them. I was cooking anyway and had more space on the smoker than I knew what to do with while cooking up the ABTs. The made plates... I...

    @SonnyE - Like you said live and learn... BUT you, your family, and guests had a good time and all ate well! Everybody was happy... I do it myself a lot, and always say, "We are our own worst critics..." +

    Like Pop Funkos? Must Have

    Of course! Sorry for the delayed reply. Yes, they do have a bunch... too many for me to try and keep up with. I buy ones I like, so not really trying to collect. My next one. It was in a special Star Wars box, so I have to buy it from someone who got the box and is willing to part with it...

    Like Pop Funkos? Must Have

    No, its not a bobblehead. Just a vinyl figure. They make all kinds: musicians, movies and tv characters, etc. Just about anything can come in Funko Pops. I have one of Deadpool riding a Unicorn (movie scene), a Thumper (Bambi - he was my favorite as a kid), Pepe Le Pew (Mum loved him and my lady...

    Weekend BBQ at my place

    Indeed... BUT you have to imagine, the other portions this thick do not receive smoke on the inside either. So nothing gained, nothing lost. If you've not done this before, its probably not best to try right before a big party. I would trim like recommended and cook separately.

    Oklahoma Joe smoker

    The reducer and probe port (image 1). I have opted to drill a hole for my smoker, as I want it at the cooking grate. Just havent decided where to put the hole yet. I have an ATC set up that limits, where I place things.

    Weekend BBQ at my place

    I concur. While I have not done it myself with brisket, I have seen it done. We used to use "meat glue" at the fine dining restaurant I worked out with a certain veal cut, wrapped in saran wrap. Sous vided until temp, taken out of wrap, and cooked in a pan with oil and rosemary until browned on...

    Oklahoma Joe smoker

    @banderson7474 - I am going to drill a hole for mine. Only because I dont want any smoke seeping out by fitting in the second thermometer port. BUT if you want, and you didnt hear this from me.... ;) Go to char-broil's web site, use their text chat to customer service. And either complain...
