    Black Walnut? Is it any good?

    I've used it numerous times and never noticed a bitter taste. It is definitely milder than hickory and mesquite. One of the main reasons I made my mini-WSM was to try different woods. I can smoke a couple chickens and some sausage in it and see what flavor different woods impart. The only...

    Smoking with Maple

    I use Box Elder which is actually a variety of Maple. Like the Silver Maple, the wood is weak and big branches are prone to break in the wind, so I took one down in my back yard and that gave me a pretty good supply. I find it provides a mild smoky taste that works well with just about...

    Cedar planks and wraps - Tuesday 2010-09-14 only

    If you have a yearning to try these out or are already a fan, there are some on Woot for sale today only at what is probably a decent price. (See woot.com) I got a pack of the cedar wraps on a recent Woot but haven't tried them out yet. I find it interesting because cedar is not supposed to be...

    I smoked you a delicious bass (With B-view :) )

    Largemouth bass from the Mississippi near the Iowa Minnesota boarder. I need to look into cold smoking. However, I think it might require something with a separate fire box. I have bullet smokers (WSM, mini-WSM) and with the coals in the same chamber as the food, it doesn't get cold! Next time...

    I smoked you a delicious bass (With B-view :) )

    (With apologies to Napoleon Dynamite.) I was curious how a fish like this would smoke up so I made some in my Mini-WSM. I used some cherry and box elder for smoking wood as those would be pretty mild. The fish itself is a pretty mild flavor. I sprinkled a little onion powder on it and put a...

    Flank Steak - Holy cow!

    Wow! Tough crowd. I guess I'm not ready for the big leagues!

    Flank Steak - Holy cow!

    No pun intended, but if it fits... One of my favorite groceries had cryopack flank steaks for $3.19/lb so I picked out a 6 lb. bag and brought it home. They also had fresh brats on sale for $2/lb so I got a 3 lb package of those too. :D I smashed several large garlic cloves, added fresh ground...

    Beef Tenderloin - a bit of a disappointment.

    Wow! Interesting site. Did you know that you should not use a shotgun to collect the herd? I did not know that! I also saw that beef prices are at their lowest in the annual cycle in November and that's when I bought these. I'll also refute the claims that these were in any way inferior. They...

    Beef Tenderloin - a bit of a disappointment.

    Hi folks, Thanks for the info. I actually bought three of these. And the first one was $2.99/lb. I bought them about a week apart from the same store. The first and last I prepared w/out freezing and they were both so tender I could cut them with a fork. The middle one is the one I froze to save...

    Beef Tenderloin - a bit of a disappointment.

    Back when whole tenderloins were on sale for $3.99 US, I bought an extra one and froze it to see how it would hold up. They came sealed in plastic (cryovac I think is the name for that packaging.) I thawed one out today and as before, I cut several slices out of the middle to cook like fillets...

    Lamb Ribs with Qview

    I couldn't pass the lamb breast I saw at the store for $0.99/lb. I post the results of my preparation here not as a ringing success but rather to provide additional information for others should they wish to try something like this. There is also some good discussion of the subject in this...

    Lamb ribs

    It sounds like something I could do better in the 22 1/2" kettle rather than the smoker. (Indirect method, of course.) My other choices are an 18 1/2" WSM and Smokey Joe converted to mini-smoker. (Think 14" WSM.) What would you choose? It looks like ambient temperature will be in the upper 20s...

    Lamb ribs

    I hope so! Maybe not. I picked up a slab of "lamb breast" at the store today for $0.99/lb. They look like ribs to me. So I'm scouring this site for ways to prepare them. I didn't have anything in mind when I got them, they just looked interesting. I like the idea of rubbing them with a mix of...

    Ham works too!

    Had an emergency smoke this morning. SWMBO called from work at 9:00. It hasn't been the best year where she works so instead of taking families to a nice restaurant at the end of the year, the owners planned an in office pot luck. They bought three spiral sliced hams but didn't think about how...

    Freeze raw tenderloin?

    Thanks all for the information. The pork I bought last night has no indication on the label that it was ever frozen. It is sealed in heavy plastic bags with no air. I think this is cryovac or equivalent. I didn't check the labels on the beef tenderloin I was ogling but will check for that before...

    Freeze raw tenderloin?

    A couple weeks ago I picked up a whole tenderloin for $2.99/lb. It was terrific! But the sale is over. Tonight I saw a boatload of whole tenderloins for $3.99/lb. I was picking up pork for a big smoke tomorrow so I reluctantly passed on the beef, but I wonder how good they would be if I froze...

    Do you Buy?

    I just checked the label for what I bought tonight - 2 4 lb+ bags labeled "boneless pork rib ends" and one 8.33 lb whole pork loin. No mention of anything added, though the whole loin had a label underneath for $1.99/lb (the top label was $1.79/lb.) I didn't even know that was done so I'll have...

    info needed in belgium

    I'm sure I can speak for the rest and say we are happy to help. Here in the Midwest US (Near Chicago) I think grilling is much more common than smoking. There are many more stores that carry grilling supplies than smoking supplies. I think we may not be that much different. Perhaps...
