    Ground Venison and Chicken rods

    Heck.. if they ended up being a bit on the yucky side at least they would make decent doggie treats?? ...just thinkin' out loud!

    Butt from Hell

    Ok.. a thought comes to mind... and I am SURE you probably did this correctly.. but... did you make sure to NOT poke your thermo probe directly up against the bone? I have found that this can give inaccurate temp readings. I usually probe in at an angle until I hit bone and then pull back about...

    What to cook for a first smoke on a new grill?

    I'd use her favorite dress or curtains then.

    First ATB's with Q-View

    Thanks everyone! I'll be DEFINETLY making these again in the future. I think I will try roasting the pepper skin off with a torch first next time. I dont like the plastic like skin on chilies much. Using a torch will sear and roast the skin off without cooking the pepper too much. Also next time...

    My small garden of NM chiles are just coming on

    I have found that if you want hot peppers, let the plant dry out and harvest just before you HAVE to water them..... like almost wilting. If you want them milder, harvest the day after a good watering. Ohh hey Rich... you may get a kick out of my tat...

    First ATB's with Q-View

    Whats shakin' folks! I picked up some nice japs at the store as well as some fresh Andouille sausage and whipped up some ABT's today. Here is the run down: I first cut the japs making them sort of like a canoe with just a narrow channel cut down the length. I pan fried up the Andouille in a...

    Smoked Cheddar n' Gouda in the Stainless Steel Box with Q-View (well sorta...)

    Welp... 1 week down... 1 to go... I had another taste test today. Flavor is improving just as I'd hoped! The bitter note is fading... but still needs another week minimum! I think I'd like to smoke longer for the next batch! Todd I'll be hittin' ya for some wine barrel and hickory pretty soon...

    Artichokes ?

    I do chokes this way. For roughly 2 large chokes. I first trim the tips of the bracts and lightly peel the stem. Cut in half lengthwise. Clean the choke with a small sharp edged spoon removing some of the inner leaves as well. There is an art to doing this quickly so do not worry if you...

    A little boneless beef short-ribs Q-View...

    Ran outta propane after about 4.5 hrs in the smoke.... a rookie mistake I know, but I sort of expected it as the bottle was getting low. No sweat! Foil and finish in the oven until meat hit 205F. The pics don't do it justice! These were super tender and moist.. perfect level of smokiness...

    A little boneless beef short-ribs Q-View...
