    Salmon belly

    Well that sure looks tasty.  Fatty, unctuous and darn right delicious.

    corned beef to pastrami, is it that easy?

    If you've seen the sodium content of the averaged prepared corned beef in the grocery store, you will want to soak it.  The fry test works well but remember that when the corned beef loses moisture it will loose more than when doing a fry test.  The salt will really concentrate.  I was buying...

    chips will not turn to ash

    Also make sure your chip pan is not too far from the heating element. Easy to bend it up a notch to increase the heat to the chips

    Corned beef on the MES30

    Wow. Looks great Prepared corned beefs usually have so much salt in them that without soaking they are really salty if dry cooked and not boiled.

    Hi from Sharon in Brooksville, Florida!

    Welcome Sharon from a neighbor in the Tampa Bay area. Not sure if you are old enough to remember the Mullet Inn on the Courtney Campbell Causeway. It was an institution for great smoked mullet for many years. The smoke row was fantastic. Never smoked with mulberry but my G'mother had a...

    Initial thoughts on my new Smokin'-it 2

    I would say they are exactly like an oven.  The heat will cycle 15-20 degrees above and below your set point.  You don't monitor inside cooking temperature because you assume it's holding to your set point which it does not do. Just an average.  An electric smoker is no different than an oven...

    Homemade Mustard for Beef

    Just made my mustard today. I soaked 1/4 cup each of brown and yellow mustard seeds in a mixture of cider vinegar and bourbon, 3 to 1.  This sat for 4 days I poured off the liquid and processed the seeds with an immersion blender and added the liquid back to get the consistency I wanted. ...

    Homemade Mustard for Beef

    Timely post.  I have a combo of brown and yellow mustard seeds soaking in a mixture of cider vinegar and bourbon, 3 to 1 at this moment.  I'm on about day 4 so will process soon.  The flavor will be adjusted as I process for sweetness to balance out the flavor.

    Beboned Whole Bird at 275?

    I've recently been boning out a chicken and leaving it in parts.  Breasts, wings and thigh/leg.  The only part with bones are the wings.  I'm not a big fan of brining chickens which will cook pretty quickly so I just added some rub.  The Oakridge poultry rub is working really well.  Into the...

    Back to basics on ribs

    I've been using different methods.  Started with the 3-2-1 method @ 225 but found it was a bit over done for SLS ribs.  Nice and tender and FOTB.  Like I said a little too done.  I shortened it a bit to a 3-1-1 which worked better.  Recently have used a non foil method of 275* for 4 hrs or less...

    First Pastrami

    Not off at all.  I've had several 4 lb pastrami briskets take this long.  Stalled for hours If you trust your temps then you just need to wait or cook at a higher temp if crunched for time.
