    Newbie from Denver Colorado

    Welcome to the forum Jim. I also lived in Denver for awhile as well and the Greeley and Ft. Collins area. It's a real treat up there in the mountins and I hope you enjoy it. The longer cook times do have a silver lining, you'll have more excuses to go out and check the smoker and drink a few...

    Pork Butt

    Tornado warnings be dammed, we're smoking anyway! Yesterday the boy and I smoked a pork butt that turned out wonderfull. We thought we might have to deal with a little rain but instead ended up watching for tornados. The morning started around 9 am. I took the roast out of the fridge where...

    Newb with a question

    Hi legerdemain- I finaly found that site where the boy got all of his ECB mods. It's http://www.randyq.addr.com/ecb/ecbmods.html It has pictures which are always a help when trying to figure out what everyone is telling you to do. I'd chime in on the football but I'm affraid I don't know...

    most tender meats??

    cmacv- There are tons of digital therms out on the market and most range in the $30-50 range. I got mine from my Pampered Chef business and it was about $40. Everyone here seems to like the Maverick Duel Thermometer, it has two probes so you can probe what your smoking and also moniter the...

    Italian Bread

    I'm intrigued, how does your KA pull a pork butt? I only ever use mine to mix up my baked goodies. I knew they were versitile but I guess I had no idea just how versitle they could be.

    most tender meats??

    I would suggest a beer can chicken, or even the chicken with out the beer can. Though if you go sans beer can definatly brine it first or have a water pan in the smoker to keep it from drying out. We've done a chuck roast that only took about 5 hous and turned out real well. Pork roasts have...

    Sausage Stuffed Pork Loin

    This looks so good. My Dad does something kind of like this but the filling is charred poblano pepper slices and smoked cheeses. I think I'll have to send this to him so we can make it on our next trip to OKC. He's much better at the fileting than I am, then again he has some 20 years...

    Southwestern Chicken Pannini

    Oh yum! That sounds very tasty. It's down on my list of recipes to try. Another thought for this is to try it on foccocia bread. If you have a Panera or Atlanta Bread Company near you they sell pretty good artisan foccocia loavs (maybe not as good as mine but that recipe is a secret).

    Italian Bread

    Welcome to the club Y2K. Bread baking used to be just an occasional hobby. Then I had to go win this local bread baking contest and wouldn't you know it everyone wanted my bread. Being the obliging gal that I am I of course said "SURE". Little did I know that one little yes would turn into a...

    First time jerky smoke

    You know I've always heard that the best environment to dry any food be it plant or meat is supposed to be very cool, dry, and windy (think Mt. Everest not the Sahara). Along those lines I've used the Alton Brown method as demonstrated on his show Good Eats. This also works well with drying...

    ABT's (Atomic Buffalo Turds)

    I've been comming back to this thread often and trying to decide whether or not to try these. I think I will have to as soon as I find a pepper that's not too hot (we live on the milder side of life). However instead of buying the chili rack I think I may use a little kitchen inginuity. If we...

    Here is a link to a wonderful little cookbook for wild game called "Cy Littlebees Guide to Cooking Fish and Game". It is offered by the Missouri Department of Conservation and is entertaining as it is informative. http://www.mdcnatureshop.com/mdc.cgi/01-0041.html

    Newb with a question

    Welcome legerdemain. I hope you enjoy it here at smokingmeatforums, there is tons of great information here and I'm sure you'll be adding your own advice and experiences soon. One more mod that you'll probably want to make to your ECB is to put the coal pan on its own legs. The boy did this...

    chicken and beans

    Buzzard, check out the smoked eggs thread in the Fruits, Nuts, Veggies forum. Very interesting though I'm not sure it would be for me. Guess I can't knock it till I try it though. The chicken and beans sure sound good though salmonclubber.
