    First Bacon

    Just ordered my first pork belly. The grocery store has to order them, but at least I can get them... Excited to use Bearcarver's tutorial and make my own. With bacon at $7-$8 per package (for the good stuff) I'm ready to throw my hat in the bacon makin ring. Pics when I start.

    What makes a good sauce?

    Since you're trying to create your own, I'll not hamper you with my recipe that I've decided to use all the time, but rather, just give you some ideas of ingredients. You can use Splenda or Truvia in BBQ sauce.  I think it gives it a slightly different taste, but it does provide sweetness...

    Charcoal basket

    Not to , but ditto what Dish is saying.  I think your coals will all light up as if the internal mesh wasn't even there.  You'll need some sort of spacers to make the coals light in a snake-like pattern. On a second note:  HOLY COW!  I like how heavy duty that basket is.  I may steal your...

    Canning BBQ sauce 2014

    I have made Jeff's sauce in a large batch and canned it before.  My tweaks to the sauce include adding cooked bacon, so when I canned it, I pressure canned just as if I was canning something like a stew or soup with meat.  Even when I made it without bacon, the question of pressure cooking vs...

    Smoked Sirloin Tip Roast - Any pointers

    Saw the newsletter then ran right to the freezer to thaw one out.  I used a simple S&P rub and smoked with hickory and oak. Pulled at 135 as suggested and rested for half an hour.  After resting, I decided I wanted to make 100% of it into thin sliced sammie meat.  I made the au jus from...

    Meat-a-tarian

    Was in line getting groceries at the local H-E-B and had several meat items in my basket and not a single vegetable.  The checker looked at me funny and my son who is 10 years old noticed, so he says to the checker, "What's wrong, haven't you ever seen a "Meat-a-tarian" before?" I just about...

    Graduation Smoke

    SmokinHusker, I'm pretty sure I read it here on one of the posts, but I use it nearly daily now.  Lots of my buddies get a kick out of it.  We camp and hike a lot, so I buy a lot of equipment that costs a lot of mullah, so another smoker this quick after buying a backpacking tent (Big Agnes for...

    Graduation Smoke

    So my son, the 'graduate' asked for smoked ribs and brisket for his grad party.  How could I refuse? I fired up the smoker and away we go! Yes, that's ribs in front and Brisket in back.  I need a bigger smoker.  I've told "She Who Must Be Obeyed", but I think I'm gonna have to get out the...

    Sunday Q

    I sliced the next day.  Thin sliced for sandwiches and ended up just eating some with some mashed taters and asparagus the next evening. There was so much juice in the brisket because the fat nearly all rendered off.  The smoke ring was about 3/8" most of the way around and even had a thin...
