    I cheated on my girl.

    We discovered these about a year ago. Fortunately, we've been able to find them consistently in Northern Illinois. Amazing meat. We do ours on a kettle, reverse sere.

    Ribs and Ruuners

    You may want to separate the runners into thigh and drum so people have an option regarding how much they want to take. I can see some half eaten runners ending up in the trash.

    After these many years, my wife requested ...

    I just bought a Broil King Signet for just under $500 at Menards. I think they are being discontinued. Plus you get 11% back, but i think you have to spend it at Menard'. I had an earlier version of this grill that I really liked. Haven't assembled the new one yet, but it seems to be...

    Who's Yer Favorite Local Butcher?

    Anybody been to the UWP retail stores on either side of Madison? What did you think? We're thinking of making a trip to one.

    Disposal of water and grease from smokers

    Not sure why, but my wife has always said no meat or dairy in the compost pile, and she tends to know about such things.

    ISO Yoder Cheyenne or Comparable Offset

    If you haven't found anything yet locally, BassPro in Bolingbrook sometimes has Horizon smokers in stock, or you can ship free to store there.

    Homemade BBQ Sauce for Beef

    Any opinions on a preferable BBQ sauce for use with beef? Sweet or Vinegary / tangy? What's considered "traditional." And, anyone recommend a particular recipe? Thanks!

    Big Bad Barrel

    Cracks me up that they cite using it as a table as one of the 5 multi uses: "Multi-Function - Our 5 in 1 Barrel gives much more than meets the eye! It can be used as a table to set down any item, an independent fire pit for winter, a BBQ pit with an adjustable cooking rack to manage the desired...

    Can I Freeze Them?

    I do it exactly like Biteme does it, vac seal in individual portions. If I'm in a hurry/feeling lazy, I just nuke them and they are still better than just about anything else I'd be able to find to eat.

    Anyone got any advice for these?

    Have you done natural casing? if so, how did they come out and have you done anything else in a casing that was already cooked?

    Deer brat pics and a question.

    Have you seen the new Oreos?

    I can't imagine these being anything but the greatest cookie invention of the last 20 years. On the other hand, the wife bought some Birthday Cake Oreo's recently -- we will not make that mistake again.

    what makes a 40" (or 30") smoker a 40" or 30"?

    "It would look pretty stupid to call an MES 40---An "MES 41 & 7/16" or an "MES 39 & 27/32" " I'd be willing to bet the nominal size, with just about any manufacturer, is larger than the actual size. Border-line fraud, but they've been getting away with selling 2x4's that are 1 3/4 by 3 1/2...

    Pork Toblerone?

    I suspect this is fiction. There's a bit of a controversy going on in Europe. Toblerone sought Halal certification to broaden their market to Muslims. This didn't require any change in their recipe and was a formal step; nevertheless, it has sparked a boycott. I'm guessing this is some sort...

    New Guy from Illinois

    Thanks for the warm welcome. It's an electric Masterbuilt. I was stumbling through Lowe's one day and found it sitting amongst the clearance appliances, stainless with a window, fired it up just to make sure it works, but that's it so far.
