    HEY ALL YOU MEAT GRINDERS

    For years, I had the good fortune of having a butcher in my wife's family who would grind up my venison for me.  The butcher was great, but the wife wasn't... so I no longer have a butcher in the family.  That prompted me to purchase a meat grinder from Cabela's.   I was processing my first...

    First Spare Ribs and Large Pork Butt

    Awesome looking ribs.  Just for info purposes, that last hour out of the foil is to firm the meat up a bit.  Some people think the texture is too soft after it's been steaming in the foil for 2 hours.  That last uncovered hour firms the meat back up and gives you a little bark action.  It's not...

    What do you vacu-pack?

    I smoke whole chickens and then split them in half.  Take the smoked halves and vac seal and freeze them.  When you need a quick meal, just take out as many as you need and drop them into a pot of simmering water.  They come back to life beautifuly (except for the skin).  My mother in law loves...

    What is your favorite smoker accessory....something you cannot live without.

    As a stocking stuffer, get him several of those long bic lighters.  You can never have enough of those things.  Mine always seem to dissapear. My girlfriend put some of those in my stocking last year and I thought it was the best thing ever.

    Another disappointing Turkey trial

    Mark, Why the boneless / skinless breast?  I think that skin plays an important part in keeping some moisture in the bird.  Not to mention that it's downright tasty.  I can't comment on the salt situation because i'm not a briner.  You may want to try injecting to see if you prefer that...

    Christmas Prime Rib

    At the risk of getting hammered, you have to ask yourself if the effort is going to be worth the payoff on this one.  I'd just roast the thing in the oven on the day of.  I realize that this is a smoking website, but I think a cook and re-heat on a piece of beef like that is never going to...

    Gatorpits wants 400$ just for a FIRBOX?!!

    Char Griller makes a little grill that has a knockout on the side so you can bolt it up to another pit and use it as a firebox.  It's pretty thin gauge metal, but I also think it's pretty inexpensive.  I think Home Depot and Lowes sell them.

    What Do You Do With Your Pork Fat

    What R Branstner said.  I trim up my meat ahead of time and save the fat to make deer sausage.

    Back from the woods and ready to post and smoke a bunch of meat.

    Welcome back. Our hunting season is just getting started here.  Guess it's time for you boys up north to kick back and let us southerners do some shooting.  Spent all weekend brushing duck blinds and putting up deer stands.  I have a bunch of sausage left from last year as well.  I'm going to...

    What to bring to In-laws for Thanksgiving

    Sounds unique.  The only problem i have, is that I find grits to have a really unpleasant texture once they sit up like that.  Kind of like ground up rubber balls smashed together in a cake.  Other than that it sounds top-notch to me.
