    My first FATTIES

    I used a package of Simply Potatoes Southwest Style Hash Browns. They come in a bag and are not frozen. Added some sharp cheddar, sliced jalapeno, red onions and made scrambled eggs. Sliced it up and put it between an English Muffin with some tobasco.

    Sand or Water?

    a balmy 9 degrees when I woke this morning....just finished my garage vent to allow me to smoke inside. Now I just open the back door of the garage. Remove the screen from the storm door. Insert blue insulation board and attach aluminum sections of pipe. The section of pipe coming off the MES...

    Sand or Water?

    What about both? Fill your pan with lava rocks and then add water...I thought about trying this.

    Xmas plan 4 Prime Rib but...

    Thanks gang....I rarely post but read all the time. I read too much at times and get information overload. I do have some Apple, Cherry and Hickory. May mix up the wood chunks a bit. I don't want to freeze it if I do not have to; so how many days before smoking should I buy it and do the rub...

    Xmas plan 4 Prime Rib but...

    Trying to decide a few things: >When should I get it and apply the rub (how long do I want it in the fridge)? >Get the bone in for flavor or just boneless? >Is a 4 bone for 8 people good? Pulled Pork has always been my specialty so, If you could help me on a few of these questions then you can...

    Prime rib roast

    I am smoking my first for Xmas too. MIL seems a bit anxious and asked me what type of wood I was using and how smokey would it be...yadda, yadda, yadda. Wife loves hers rare and was not thrilled about my idea of smoking one. Thought it would come out dry. THEN I showed her a pic of one on here...

    Rescued a Smoker from the curb

    The better half just shook her head and asked me why I needed a 4th smoker. I promised to do a chicken for her this weekend. Now, I have to do some searches and learn a bit about it. Is adding charcoal a pain?

    Brought pulled pork sandwich for lunch today

    It is rewarding to sit down and eat after the time involved preparing it. I mean you start the night before with the rub and then half-a-day cookin. I have a bit of an obsessive personality too. Having to watch the temp. means I will be home all day; outside the garage with the Sirius radio...

    Brought pulled pork sandwich for lunch today

    Well gentlemen, my smoking career has been short thus far but rewarding. It started out after this past deer season. I was using a Big Chief top loader that I got for free. Started with the jerky. Was not crazy about the top loader. I made a wind break for it and it worked to the point of...
