    Prime Rib (Best ever)

    Prime Rib is on my short list of things I want to try next and your post only reinforced my desire to do that. Your comments above give me a twinge because my BIL told me he got a rib roast for their Christmas dinner. I tried to convince him to do it on his Weber but he was concerned about...

    Attempt #1 at smoking a pork butt

    Hi ThePope, I'm not going to disagree with the previous answers because they are 100% correct. I will however share a couple of my observations. I usually start with about a gallon of hot tap water in the bowl. I usually don't bother refilling it. It does help with temperature control...

    Grilling chops and brining (with Q-view)

    For our Christmas eve dinner we had originally expected to serve four so I pulled a package of four lamb steaks out of the freezer. A couple days later our guest list swelled by six and I suspected that our guests might not appreciate lamb. At Sam's I found a package of nice looking boneless...

    Android App: What would you want?

    Not yet. ;) I usually put the starting weight in my notes. Do you think that's adequate? I thought about that too, but it would probably be a future refinement. Thanks for sharing your logs. I think I've got most of the particulars covered and I think anything else could go into the free form...

    Android App: What would you want?

    I should add altitude to weather conditions. That seems like a reasonable place to put that since it is part of the conditions under which the cook takes place.   That would be a highly useful way to export!

    Android App: What would you want?

    Hi Michael, It would (should ;) ) have a search function so you can search for "beef", "pork" "chicken"  or whatever you like to call what you smoke. Do you think that would work?

    Android App: What would you want?

    Hi folks, I've begun work on an Android app to record my smokes. My primary motivation is to sharpen my skill set with a real world project about a subject that interests me (*). And I'll probably want to share the results of my efforts. As such, I'd like to know what you would want in an...

    smoked carp, anyone?

    I've caught them using a dough bait made with Wheaties breakfast cereal. Add some strawberry flavor and/or anise oil for extra flavor. You would think that something made with Wheaties would soften pretty fast and come off the hook but it did not. And if you get some on your rod handle and let...

    When all else fails ...

    I guess I got spoiled by the whole tenderloins they had last year for $4.99/lb. I cut fillets out of the middle and they melted in your mouth. The rest made great roasts to smoke to medium rare. Thanks for the offer for recipes, Gene. If the marinades will tenderize I'd be interested. thanks...

    When all else fails ...

    Make chili! :D The siren song of cheap beef captivated me when I saw cryovac skirt steaks for $2.99/lb. I picked the smallest bag - 10 lb. My first try was to grill them over hot coals. I did a few and we had them for dinner. Much chewing ensued. I looked back at several recipes and they were...

    Lamb Ribs with Qview

    Thanks JJ. Sounds like a good idea. I was torn between rare and very well done because lamb can be eaten rare as well. Trimming the fat and making very well done is probably what I'll try next time I get some of these. I did take the bones and fat I trimmed after cooking, rendered them, made...

    Beef Tongue

    My lack of skills as a food stylist does not take anything away from how good this was! That's sliced smoked beef tongue simmered in canned tomato soup with a few bay leaves. We enjoyed that when we first got married and could get beef tongue for $0.29/lb. Back then it was boiled. Smoking it...

    Beef Tongue

    You made me laugh! I wish I had thought about that, but I take this stuff too seriously. ;) I'll get some pix of the slices if I can.

    Beef Tongue

    Can I just stick my tongue out at you? :p Not the same?   OK, Here you go. I did it on my mini-WSM with some beef cheeks. The tongue came out great. (thT cheeks, not so much...) I had some cold smoked tongue at lunch today, sliced and garnished with ketchup mixed with horseradish sauce. I was...

    Beef Tongue

    Thank you. those are two threads my search did not turn up. Looks like it's boil first. thanks,

    Beef Tongue

    Do I need to boil it and peel it first or can I smoke it, peel it and then braise it? Suggestions for the proper wood (probably whatever works well for beef in general) would also be appreciated. I'm thinking hickory, oak and black walnut. I have a taste for some tongue! :D thanks,

    Why can't I get the heat over 225?

    My first thought was why do you want it over 225°? But that is your business and not mine. ;) Remember that water in the pan will start to boil at 212° F and will tend to moderate temperature. I leave water out when I'm doing something like turkey or chicken that does not benefit from a long...

    Best smoker/grill to buy in the $200-$400 range

    Oops! Two mods. I put an ordinary hardware store style eyelet in the barrel just below the top grill for temperature probes. It's pretty simple. The SJ grills fit snugly inside the pot so three small screws at the right height support two grills. Near the bottom I've mounted three angles (the...
