    saturday smoke a lil beef, a lil pork!

    Mine came out good. I could certainly try different flavors of preperation though. This was a whorcestershire-olive oil-montreal steak rubbed chuck roast. Took it to 165, then foiled it to 190. Glad I tried it. The wife is baking french bread from scratch, gonna have some awesome grilled...

    Meatloaf

    Oak and maple (any of those trees in Alabammy?) are also good smoking woods, I have never tried actual smoking with them myself but have had meat other guys smoked using those woods and I had no complaints on their stuff. Just thought I'd toss that out there...Looked great the way it was though!

    First beef roast smoke planned

    After seeing Capt. Dans chuck roast, I wanna do my own chuckie this weekend. Here is my plan: Wet my hands with Worcestershire sauce, and handle the roast. Wait a couple hours and do the same with some olive oil. Both times just enough to get the stuff on there but not drowning it. Then lightly...

    Brrrr, its winter w/ Q view

    Smoked chuck roast, not that sounds interesting. Have to add that to the list of to-do's now. Ran it by the woman and she wasn't so sure. I imagine its great sliced and eaten that way. Whats your favorite way of consuming it? Fajitas, BBQ beef sandwiches, or grilled with cheese on a sandwich, or...

    First Smoke, Butts, q-view, not a success :(

    Yeah, not a problem for me anymore. I had that happen to me and quickly learned from the mistake. Got ya, knew there was something about the 140 thingy. Some of the comments I read must have misunderstood on this. I understand it now.

    First Smoke, Butts, q-view, not a success :(

    Don't pretend to an expert but, I believe your salt content was way too much. And it also looks like too much wood, that can give it a harsh almost salty (stings your lips) taste. One or 2 small pieces of wood at a time wrapped in foil with a couple holes in it is plenty, after the coals have...

    Venison Jerky - Hi Mountain (Bourbon BBQ)

    Got my attention! Hi Mountain Bourbon BBQ, I like the stuff, lightly doused with a dash of actual bourbon mixed with a little of your fav bbq sauce on the meat before 'smokin' it. Hey, it's gotta be good, it's got bourbon on it!

    My smoked trout recipe

    It really goes over well around here. I even let it soak up to 4 days or as little as two. The bigger filets I'd let go longer, smaller maybe not so long. And fish that are spawners are not the best for smoking if you ask me. Get them in their prime if at all possible. Another tip, get the skin...

    Well, I muffed it

    Sounds good, only I'd add wild leeks, or green onion. And maybe a drip or two of worchestershire to it. I just posted my smoked trout recipe, it was originally meant for salmon. Having a wide range of trout available to catch and cook, I prefer trout for smoking.

    My smoked trout recipe

    This is my signature smoking dish. Sounds too simple and really is. Turns out an excellent fish if not rushed or burned. The tenderquick content may scare some, but try it. Everone I know is either lovin it or being way too over polite and lapping it up just to please me... Brine: 1 Quart pure...

    Boston Butt - $1.59 lb

    Family Fare (formerly Great Day-still Spartan stores) just had a $1.29 a pound sale here in Grand Rapids, MI. I grabbed a couple. Normally about $1.99 a pound. The pork they get is as good as anywhere, although I perfer to get my meat at a smaller butcher shop most of the time. Especially ground...

    My first born...

    Well they came out pretty good, not the best I ever had but I will get there. Again everyone liked it but I was a little more critical on em. I got a tip or 2 from Capt. Dan I didn't heed, but will next time. Like the apple juice spray, I use a water pan and just put it in there, not next time...

    Trouble uploading a photo

    I clicked the link, but wasn't sure what to do. The trouble is I believe I should be able to do this here, it is so much like MS.com where I do it all the time. Obviously the trouble is mine, but I am not sure what I need to do. I saw something about creating a gallery or something from another...
