    Whats your favorite Bloody Mary mix?

    No matter which mix you prefer, the ingredient that takes it over the top (no it's not Yoshida's) is A-1 Sauce. It adds extra body and is great. Bartender buddy of mine used it to win Best of the CA Bay Area 3 years in a row.

    A Question For The Masters (And Anyone Else!)

    I would vacuum seal it and then freeze it. Probably would be safe after sealing and putting in the fridge but I wouldn't chance it.

    Giant Dino's & BBR's whoops & a Tweek

    Planned a great smoke today with Q-view. Took the Pictures and the wife went off with the camera case sans camera. She's got my cords and I have the camera. Oh well will post Pics tomorrow. But I will narrate my epicurean delight. In my area, beef ribs are all bone and not much meat for $.99/lb...

    Home Made Beef Stock Question

    Because of the density on bone, smoke should not permeante into the bones. The flavor that is imparted is from the marrow. The smoking process shouldn't affect it.

    Tough ribs

    I hope that you are not relying on the therm on your smoker. Mine is off by 50 degrees. It sounds like your temp in the smoker is way to high. This would cause the ribs to be tough and would account for the short cooking time. There is no correlation between rubs and temp. As a quick check, go...

    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    They always surprise me. Depending on the size of your oven it probably will take 2.5 to 3 hrs. Closer to 3. Make sure you taken them out of the frig an hour before putting them in the oven.

    Roast beef for Christmas dinner - need some help

    Nothing better than a good top round roast. It's the best dollar value in the meat case. Over the years I have cooked quite a few of these babies for catering jobs. When done properly, it will taste just like a fine prime rib. The way that I do it is when trimming, leave a 1/4 layer of the fat...

    Baby Backs, Chicken, Beans..Lotsa Q View

    Back only 2 days and you are on fire. You probly have enough room on the trailer to mount the new smoker and build yourself a walk-in cooler box. When I remove the membrane from the back of the ribs, my choice of weapon is a church key.
