    Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños.

    Here is another twist on stuffed peppers: cut the stem end off, remove seeds, stuff with cream cheese, wrap with bacon, stick a Little Smokey weiner in on top of the cheese.

    Looking for places to eat or see in the State of Georgia.

    Google Dekalb Farmer's Market. It is a farmer's market in name only. It is where I go for odd food that cannot be found elsewhere. I once ran into Alton Brown there. He was buying some belt fish. Yea, weird.

    Looking for places to eat or see in the State of Georgia.

    Dekalb Farmer's Market for a international food experience, especially the seafood market. As for local bbq in Atlanta - most of it is cooked and flavored for the out of towner's. Dusty's near Emory U was good, hear it is closed.

    Looking for places to eat or see in the State of Georgia.

    If at breakfast someone offers you a choice of "sweet" ham or "country" ham, always go with the country ham. Sweet ham is sometimes called "city" ham. Also, if in Atlanta, you have to have at least one meal at the Varsity, but get a true local to explain to you how to order.

    Found this spice while driving to Maine last month.

    IMO it is a dryed version of Franks (Durkee) hot sauce. Should be good on grilled or smoked hot wings.

    Found this spice while driving to Maine last month.

    The product is about as hot as Franks with a bunch of garlic. It may even have a little rosemary.

    Question about drying chili peppers

    My garden is producing a lot of hot and mild peppers right now. In the past I have air dried followed by smoking on a Weber kettle. Has anyone tried drying in a MES 30? I'm thinking 200F for eight hours.

    Pricing Custom Smoking

    Low quality meat will reflect badly on you the Pitmaster. That is something I hadn't even considered. This is possibly less of an issue because the two businesses I'm considering for this deal, I have good relationships with the owner. That's not to say I can't get screwed, but I know I can...

Perfect pulled pork with help from Bearcarver and SmokinAl. Thanks dudes. This one's going fast. Not sure we'll have any left for...
