    Top Round & Fatty

    One look at that roast and I fell in love.  Top roast on the smoker at my house Saturday. Nice job.  Guess I need to look up the Fatty recipe.

    Smoked Buffalo wings w Q VIEW!!!

    As for sauces being geographic I could not agree with you more.  Case in point - having lived in Michigan and Wisconsin all my life I moved to South Carolina five years ago. I have found the typical SC BBQ sauce to be good but not one I would generally use.  Also, Alabama Dipping Sauce for...

    Maple Smoked Salmon

    Interesting idea trying Maple.  Will have to give that a try.  Also here is something I find a little strange. I have smoke several wild caught (Alaska) salmon,  and have several farm raised from Sam's Club and Cosco. Every time the farm raised have produced better flavor and texture, although...

    Apple stuffed pork loin

    Nice job!  I've been thinking about smoking a loin, half as the loin and the other half as canadian bacon -  and now I HAVE to.  Going to follow your plan (beer included), so thanks for sharing.

    Homemade Brats

    It just doesn’t get much better than homemade brats and sausage.  My father-in-law in the Michigan Upper Peninsula makes a pork/beef smoke sausage.  It is honestly to die for but I fear the recipe, that he keeps well hidden inside his brain, will pass away when he does.  Even the recipe for the...

    First time cauliflower smoke!

    We love it in the oven with some EVOO, garlic powder and salt.  Can't wait to try it on the smoker. Thanks.  I'm always looking for great ideas for side dishes.

    Pulled pork, fried rice, and ribs

    I like your idea about the pork and rice.  I have to give it a try, maybe even spice it up a bit with some hot peppers/sauce. Thanks.

    Making your own wood chips

    I think Hambone has the best advice.  I have found that medium size chunks (1 to 1/2 pound dry) produces more smoke over a longer period of time than chips do.  Chips seem to burn much faster regardless how long I soak them.  Give me a chunk over a chip any day.  A stick of green maple produces...

    Marinade a Boston Butt

    Hey Y’all – I’ve been experimenting with brines for a butt marinade.  Believe or not I have experienced very good results in terms of a tasty and moist Boston Butt.  The brine recipies vary and I will be happy to share them, just ask. The butts are smoked at 225 degrees for approx one hour per...

    My Big Butt

    Not sure if soaking the butt in a marinade was a good idea or not so I went for it.  Turned out to be one of the best butts I've done. I soaked the butt for eight hours in a marinade I found on...

    My Big Butt

    Hey Y'all, I bought an eleven pound butt today.  Will smoke half tomorrow and the rest at a later time.  Question is, does anyone marinade their butt?  I have the rub, apple juice injection, swapping, and smoking down fine, but am considering a marinade for fun since I won't be smoking the...

    Scarbelly Wings (Buffalo Style)

    The wings look great.  I have not had much luck with wings and was considering giving up on them.  However, I have to try them your way. The time and temp helps a lot.  Thanks again.

    First Canadian Bacon (Qview!)

    My mouth started watering looking at the pics.  Have never done CB but would like to give it a try.  I would appreciate tips and/or recipes on how to do CB, what cut of meat to use and so on.  Also, your idea of taking samples of different cuts of smoked goodies to Christmas parts is a great...
