    Safe sauce

    Last night I made some drum sticks in the oven covered with a homemade bbq sauce I attempted to make. I got the idea to boil it down after chicken was done so I could serve it ontop the chicken rice and beans, but not sure if it is safe or not. I figured do a hardboil for 2-3 minutes (like...

    Overestimated smoker size ><

    The pizza sat in for about an hour. It was a cheap little microwave one, think the smoker lacked temp or it should of been in longer. It was still pretty good, the crust was cooked but a tad to soft. A hint of smoke which made the cheese alot better.
