    IPad dies on external links

    Perhaps it's the app (Google) that I use to access the site, but if someone link to a SMF thread no problem, yet all links to outside sites cause the app to close when I try to follow them. A minor annoyance to be sure, but I was just curious if anyone else experienced this issue. I'll try...

    IPad dies on external links

    So any other iPad users out there? Does everyone else have the problem that outside links lead to the site crashing? I've experienced this numerous times over several weeks and am wondering if there is a fix? My best to you all. Many hanks for the generosity of the experts who post to teach...

    Tommy's World Class Chili

    I used enough to cover about 1/2 (homemade and far better than any commercial product I've ever tried) then flipped it about 1/2 of the way through the marinade.

    Just got half of a Berkshire (AKA Kurobuta) hog; Special considerations? What to do with "jowl bacon

    Thanks JarJar, sounds like sound advice! Sorry for the delayed reply, I had to leave town for a business trip and haven't had any recreational web time. I'll be sure to let you know how the experiments go. If you're ever in the market send me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help.

    Just got half of a Berkshire (AKA Kurobuta) hog; Special considerations? What to do with "jowl bacon

    Hey everyone!  This is the first of what I hope will be many posts as I work my way through 1/2 of a locally-raised (irrelevant except for a personal quest to take my food away from the factories and back to the farmers and producers whenever possible) Berkshire hog.  For those of you who are...

    First smoked T-day Bird, brined, injected, rubed, smoked, then baked

    So...I planned to smoke our bird this year and made the mistake of mentioning this to my brother who was hosting the extended family dinner on Wednesday.  His reply, "That sounds fantastic.  Would you consider smoking one for our dinner?"  Now I love to cook, so normally this would not be a big...

    Smoked Elk Roast with Q-view

    I've not posted for a couple of weeks, but have been active.  About 10 days ago I decided to smoke an elk roast: First, a dry rub with sugar, salt, pepper, fennel, thyme: Smoked it at about 150F for about 2.5 hours with hickory, then finished with a brown on the grill then indirect heat...

    Tommy's World Class Chili

    Josh- If it is not too late, we used both. The only difficult part of the recipe is sautéeing all of those veggies in batches, but it is worth the effort. I happened to have a bottle of red wine on hand a deglazed my pan occasionally to make sure that I captured the depth of flavor presented...

    Tommy's World Class Chili

    Ever year we have a Hallowen party and serve soups and stews before the kids go tick or treating. This year we made this recipe almost as written--we added ground elk sausage that was first cold smoked. People were talking about it for weeks afterward--it became common "water cooler"...

    Smoked my first pork butt this weekend (w q-view)

    Nice! :grilling_smilie: I love the multiple uses of the dish! We do similar things by pre-prepping and freezing because we both work and need easy week night dishes. I'll definitely have to remember the apple juice trick! Pizza done right...hot oven, thin crust. So my wife thinks I'm...

    Thanks to all veterans!

    I was getting ready to go to sleep and just wanted to pass along some sincere gratitude to any SMF veterans Thumbs Up. Election years are tough. We are encouraged to become divided in our ideas, while simultaneously brought together in identity. My friends in the military understand that...

    breaking down hog leg

    Thanks Pops! The man has spoken and I even get the same pictures that I was using as a guide. The first suggested cut looks perfect and should allow me to break this into a couple of meals. I'll get the cure going in the morning. I'm also smoking my first belly tomorrow and will be sure to...

    breaking down hog leg

    So I purchased a hog leg after reading Pop's excellent article "from hog leg to Easter ham". My problem is that the ham is HUGE (23#). Is there a way to break this down into a couple of smaller, more manageable hams? I've done some searching here and on the web and have come up empty handed...
