    "Premier" Membership Info Recommendation

    Would think the links to become a Premier Member needs to be more visible as a separate category or a sticky somewhere. Perhaps it is, I couldn't find it.

    Tatonka Dust On Pork Butt???

    If you look around the boards and use search, you will find a mess of rubs to use on butts. Most are very good. I don't use commercial rubs anymore, better to have a fresh made rub using ideas found on the forum and doctoring them up to suit me IF needed. There are a few on the 3 pages of this...

    Green bean casserole ideas?

    The green bean casserole with smoke cheese on top such as cheddar or even mozzarella sounds great. Just have to start a few weeks in advance getting the cheese smoked.

    How do you smoke your steaks?

    Reverse sear with one small chunk of aluminum wrapped wood, variety dependent on my mood that day (anything from mesquite to cherry).

    Kindly stop watching CBS..disrespectful idiots..

    CBS issued an apology yesterday, a week after the episode aired. Too late for me, CBS made their millions from advertisers for that episode and they're just giving lip service now to cover their NY butts.

    Going to try cold smoking belly bacon: suggestions

    Back in my younger days I had caused smoke bitterness in food when using way too much in a short period of time, clouds of it. I was also using wet hickory wood chips at the time and the combination was way overboard. I think by using good aged wood, or the AMNPS you get a better quality of dry...

    Rubs seem too strong

    I canned all my commercial rubs and just make my own now, soooo much tastier and controlled. On a roast I'll lay the rub on heavy over mustard, but on chicken or ribs I go lighter. I also mist quite a bit and this has a tendency to water down or thin the rubs somewhat.

    Smoking ribs

    What he said. There are several ways to get ribs cooked extremely well. That 3-2-1 or 2-2-1 is an excellent starting point. How'd you mess up your Jerky?

    Commercial smoking vs. backyard smoking

    There are a few places I've been to in NC that have a night crew, large enclosed cement or brick smoke houses that turn out the good Q. One place I know gets whole oak trees, less limbs, delivered and that's all they use. However, sadly I've stopped at places that had obviously par boiled their...

    First Pork Rib Roast

    How did it come out? That's my wife's favorite cut of pork, and one I'm not fond of. Never cooked one on the grill just in the oven covered with bacon with garlic cloves inserted 1 to 2 inches into the meat.

    Grilling burgers method

    I had the problem of over cooking hamburgers on the grill but went to the reverse sear and they come out great now. Also use no more than a 85/15 hamburger meat or it will seem dry, 80/20 is best for a great juicy burger. For any flare ups, a little spray bottle with a dense fine spray will put...
