    Trout---Sneaky Pennsylvania Fish Commission

    I never have fished a pond myself but figure it might be a good way to get some for the pan and smoker. Streams don't open here until the 3rd week of May and in my zone its C and R only and in adjacent zones a 2 fish limit. Eastern Oregon theres no limit on brookies and browns but thats a ways...

    Trout---Sneaky Pennsylvania Fish Commission

    Nice pics Bear! I'm going to get out this week or early next week. A local ODFW pond at the wildlife refuge has been upgraded with docks and walk ways. It was a mudhole before. The dog walked me out there (3/4 mile walk) a few weeks ago and they were close to being done. Ponds are open year...

    Venison Philly Cheese Steak Brats / Andouille

    Wondering also on the Philly cheese steak. Got some the other day. Their mushroom is delicious! (added some swiss cheese)

    Best pork shoulder rub?

    I like Fette Sau rub on shoulders and ribs. If you're using table salt rather than kosher cut the salt back by half. Mix well breaking up any clumps in the sugar. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups packed dark brown sugar 1 cup kosher salt 1 cup finely ground espresso beans 1/4 cup freshly ground black...

    What precautions are you taking for Corona Virus

    Looks like the same for Oregon sometime Monday. Not sure for how long yet. Spring break started Friday and hordes descended on the coast. And then hordes of hoarders hit the local stores of course. Mayors of the towns said go home and shut down motels, campgrounds etc. As long as I can walk...

    Auber WS-1200 controller

    Great, glad it worked out! It still surprises me when I check the smoker temp and its just cruising right along where I set it.

    Auber WS-1200 controller

    You'll need to auto tune it. Heres the instructions for a Smokin-It smoker. It should be the same for Smokintex.

    What precautions are you taking for Corona Virus

    I'm in the vulnerable group due to COPD/Emphysema and heart disease. I've been doing any necessary shopping at night to avoid crowds and standing in line next to people that may be sick. I walk the dog later also in less traveled areas. I've been washing my hands much more than normal, enough...

    Chicken fried steak.

    That looks good! I haven't made it for quite awhile. I have a manual cuber I bought at Cabela's yrs ago that looks just like this one. It works pretty well but you have to be carefull not to use too thick a steak. I generally use boneless pork chops, they're great for sammiches too.

    Craziest thing you have smoked...

    Octopus. Smoke and seafood flavored chewing gum. One bite lasts a real long time!

    Ideas for using dried peppers

    Carne guisada is good and easy to make. You can eat it on rice, tortillas, potatoes, nacho chips, pretty much however. You can go mild or spicy with it. I made it last time with anchos and jalapenos but next batch will have some chipotle in it. eta I've only made it once and used this recipe. It...

    Small Cheese Smoke

    Thanks for the likes guys! Probably the better half of the cheddar will be given away. I got a good buy on it last summer and got a "little" carried away. :) Thanks Chris! I was getting burnt out on all the cheddar I have and tried to mix it up on this batch. Actually this was the 1st time...

    Small Cheese Smoke

    Just smoked a bit that I picked up at Costco and Trader Joes. PSA- don't trust Trader Joes package sealing. I left a few packs of their cheese in the fridge for a month and had to toss a nasty dried out package of Stilton Bleu. The other two had mold on them but it was easily carved off. I...
