    Sunday Q

    Built a nice hickory and mesquite fire this morning and didn't want it to go to waste, so I thought I'd throw on some beef ribs and a small trimmed brisket. I usually like to smoke a full packer brisket, but since it's just going for sammies and nothing else, I decided to get just the flat this...

    Pork Butt and Babyback Ribs Taste Like Ham

    Overcooked meat could cause it as well I think, but I'm not sure as TBH, I have never overcooked ribs.  <==  can you feel the sarcasm? Your rub isn't overly salty, so it wouldn't have done it.  Certainly not in the short time you had it rubbed. I'm kinda lost here on this one.  Doin' what Kat...

    Pork Butt and Babyback Ribs Taste Like Ham

    BTW, interesting rub. I find rosemary a bit overpowering on pork, but like it on beef.  Hmmm  To each his own

    Pork Butt and Babyback Ribs Taste Like Ham

    When buying pork, avoid the ones that are enhanced with some type of solution.  It's done so the pork will still be juicy after cooking the crap out of them (like most folks tend to do with pork), but what it really does is cure the meat before you even cook it.  Hence, the ham flavor.  Every...

    I couldn't wait... I stayed home from work today to smoke meat.

    It sure did SQWIB...  Stess balls don't have anything on playing hooky. :) And irishpride, I have no excuse.  I just did it.   Actually, every time I put a loin on the grate directly, I lose some to the loin sticking.  And what's worse is the part I lose is the good crunchy part. So I use a...

    I couldn't wait... I stayed home from work today to smoke meat.

    It's amazing how many calls and emails I still fielded while "off" work though. Regardless, I didn't have to wait on the weekend. :)

    Loin slicing very nice after cool down. Now all that's left is to set the finishing glaze on the ribs.

    Buck Board Bacon by SQWIB - Photo Overload

    I know this post is 'older', but I was looking into making some bacon and came across buck board bacon.  I have made some belly bacon before with my grandpa in his smoke house, but I don't think we ever made any out of a pork butt.  (If he did, I don't remember...) Anyway, being in S. Texas, I...

    I couldn't wait... I stayed home from work today to smoke meat.

    I made up a batch of Jeff's rub and put it on loin chops last night and simply tossed them in the oven.  They were great.  So I was going to use the remainder of the loin and smoke it this weekend when I had some time. Instead, I took the day off work.  Here's the Before: I'll post the rest...

    Cold Smoking Mod

    I know it'll pull a draft most of the time, but don't you still lose quite a bit of smoke out of that front hole?

    Pork Loin - Rub a dub dub...

    Didn't have time to smoke anything tonight, but wanted a little of that 'flavor'...  So I mixed up a batch of Jeff's rib rub and sprinkled liberally on some loin I'd sliced into chops about 1/2 in thick and then simply tossed them in the oven for a little bit on 400dF. Wammo; Bang; Pow; Smack...
