    Crazy-Good Pork Butt... Mmmm!!

    There should be plenty of leftovers, if you jump a plane now you could probably be here just while its still doing the "ice chest rest"!

    Crazy-Good Pork Butt... Mmmm!!

    I ended up just letting it soak in the brine/marinade overnight, then this morning I injected it a bit with a meat syringe just before removing it from the marinade... Once removed from the marinade I pat the exterior dry with paper towels, then I covered it with a light coat of "glue" that I...

    Crazy-Good Pork Butt... Mmmm!!

    WARNING,WARNING,.... Follow along at your own risk... bring your own napkin!!  "Brine" may have been a incorrect term, I suppose "Marinade" would be more appropriate? Anyhow, once again I am combining idea's from multiple recipes that sound appealing to my taste into true experimental...

    Hickory Smoke Infused Bourbon

    A bit off topic, but I have recently been experimenting with infusing my vodka with Habanero and Garlic for use in my Bloody Mary's... I am considering pre-smoking the peppers and garlic first (in my smoker, not my corncob pipe!) before I infuse the next batch  ... worst case scenario I ruin a...

    Hello All from Elk Grove, CA!

    Hey Matt, welcome to SMF! Bone-in Chicken Quarters would be a great first run... forgiving, doesn't mind higher cooking temps, and @ less than a $buck$ a pound its cheap enough to not worry too much about if you have any issue's breaking in that new smoker! Also consider SMOKING A FATTY...

    Chili Made With Leftover Smoked Tri Tip! Q'View!

    Disclaimer:  I created this outstanding batch of chili after combining ideas from several recipe's... All the ingredient's listed were thing's that I already had on hand... I didn't actually measure most of the dried ingredients, so I gave my best guess as to the approximate amount's used for...

    Help Needed With Chili Recipe's Using Leftover Tri-Tip

    Thanks for the speedy reply! I am similar to you in regards to a almost full freezer... I do have the time to spare however, now - or next week... whichever should produce the best results!

    Help Needed With Chili Recipe's Using Leftover Tri-Tip

      I'm still laughing from that response Kat! Just to clarify, are you suggesting I freeze the already cooked Tri Tip now (by itself) and then thaw it out just before adding to the batch of chili?

    Help Needed With Chili Recipe's Using Leftover Tri-Tip

    I ended up bringing back the leftovers of 4 Tri Tip's from a recent group fishing/camping trip in effort to not allow them to go to waste, and I am thinking I would like to make a batch of chili or maybe chili soup (or a batch of each?) to bring to another upcoming Fest in 2 weeks!    I have...

    Bringing Back The 14.5" Weber Smokey Mountain!

    It's official, Weber has re-released the 14.5" WSM  This may be old news, but it's the first I've heard of it... I just received Cabelas  "Outdoor Cooking" mini-catalog in the mail today and it had a photo of it, so I just jumped on their web site and it is currently listed as being available...

    Competition-style Spare Ribs Recipe / Method?

    How to increase WSM heat? All vents open.

    The butt I smoked was only 5lbs (boneless) and took over 13 hours... and I did also "tent" it in a foil pan @ 168* to speed up the stall... 15 hours for a 6+lb butt sounds reasonable. On a side note, I smoked mine at around 245* using Stubb's brand 100% natural charcoal briquettes. The ambient...

    First Smoke

    Hi Jim! Welcome to SMF I started with bone-in chicken quarters myself... fairly easy, and cheap enough to not be too bummed if I messed them up. Be forewarned you will likely end up with rubbery nearly inedible skin unless you can finish them off at a high temp on another grill. After...
