    What to do with ashes ?

    I hope that when I am Q'ed at the end, my ashes will be spread on the Sacramento River. Whoops, do you mean from cooking? I use some for my compost barrel and the rest I recycle in my green waste.

    Good smoked steaks but need suggestions w/Qview

    I've never smoked my steaks. Been grilling them on charcoal/gas for over 50 years. I always massage them with EVOO and take a pinch of Kosher Salt and dust them with the salt and put a good amount of fresh CBP on both sides about 10 minutes before I put them on. I'm a purist, nothing but salt...

    Does anyone leave the membrane on baby backs?

    Friends don't let friends eat ribs with a membrane on. The membrane on the ribs does not allow the rub to penetrate through to the meat. The heat is also deflected back to the heat source. If you want Tony Roma or other mass merchant Q'ers that cook fall off the bone and sucky ribs, be my guest...

    Care of Cast Iron Grills

    I have always brushed of my cast iron grill plates after each use. In my next cook, I wipe them with a little oil. Basically I treat them like my cast iron pans. I understand that some people wash them after every use. So tell me what do you do to treat cast iron?

    Just picked up a food grade with a liner for $20. It was used to store honey. It has latched head for the top of the drum. I can't wait to make my UDS.

    How Much Do You Spend on This Hobby?

    I really didn't want to respond to this because I really didn't want to know how much this has cost me. Since I got serious about smoking last July (before SMF), I figured that with smokers, tools, meat, spices, rubs, sauces, memberships and classes. I am pushing $3000. I am ordering a 12X20...

    Flower for Sourdough?

    Self-rising flour-no way, never and nada! Self-rising is just what is says, it has a leavening agent in it. You need to use bread flour because it has a higher gluten content which is needed to develop the texture.

    Nekkid Reeyabs

    Somewhere in the archives of my ancient mind, I remember that I used to take KC Masterpiece and cut it with apple cider vinegar as a basting sauce as a mop. Then I would serve them with a mixture of KC and another sauce for dipping. If I ever turned back the clock to those ancient ways, I would...

    The Great BBQ Sauce Contest

    I have tried many sauces and I have yet to find one that meets my needs. What I want is a sauce that Tickles my tongue with the first bite and then puts a little bit of heat on the back of my tongue. Someone out there has a recipe to blow us all away. SO, what do do win. The title of an apron of...

    3-2-1 not falling off the bone?

    If the meat is falling off the bone, you ribs are overdone. The fallacy of falling off the bone was stroke of marketing genius due to some cooker who overcooked his ribs. A perfect rib is when you bite into it and it comes off the bone with a slight tug and the meat is tender. In COMP judging, a...

    Weber Performer (22.5 Kettle fancied up) Questions

    I bought my 1st Weber in 1972 so here goes my opinion. Hopefully you are using a chimney to start your charcoal, if not, you should pick one up. I don't like the taste of my food using fluid. I use Kingsford Comp from Costco or lump from Walmart or Sam's Club. When your coals are ashed over...

    Smoker for a Newbie?

    I have the 40" MES with the 1200 watt heater and I absolutely love it. For cold smoking, I use the soldering iron and tin can with wood chips method. The MES with a 2 year warranty is $335 at Sam's Club. The cold smoker method I use will set you back $10. If you haven't already, stop by and...

    KCBS Certified Barbeque Judge Class

    Just got back from the 6 hour KCBS CBJ class in Sacramento CA. It was well worth the $45 fee. There was a combination of Competition Teams (about 50% of the class) and just plain folks like me. We learned what it takes to judge a competition within the categories of Appearance, Taste and...

    ronp just called

    His surgery was delayed for a while this morning. He is out of surgery and sounds a little groggy. He has yet to see his Doctor, but the fact that he is alert is encouraging.
