    First Canadian Bacon - A Newbie w/Kakorrhaphiophobia

    Well, I went in to my first bacon (well Canadian, not belly) with the fear of failure (Kakorrhaphiophobia).  I guess I had good reason.  Put my cure on for 11 days, massaging all the time.  Took it out this morning, let it rest for awhile and hit the smoker.  But, before hitting the smoker, I...

    El Cheapo Thermo

    Well, I tried it and found it was worth about what I paid for it.  Bought a remote thermo at Wally World for under $20.  Worked with it about 3 times before it failed.  I was smoking a small Canadian bacon loin today and kept noticing the IT was hung at 62 degrees.  It hung too long, so I had a...

    Theoretical Discussion - BARK

    Okay, this is the BARK discussion, taken from the general starting Theoretical Discussion.  I will try to carry the points from the original thread into this one and not all the detailed input.  Please feel free to point out how I might have missed something: Sugars or any ingredient that...

    Theoretical Discussion

    I am not really a newbie, but just a little beyond that.  I am ready to spread my wings and create my own sauces, but I am hesitating.  I want to create my own recipes, but the basis seems to be taking someones recipe and modifying it, which may not be all that bad. Would anyone be interested...

    Honey, do you think this pulled pork tastes a little different???

    I'm happily tooling along, with my pork butt on the smoker and just about to get to the plateau.  My wife is getting ready to go to her 1/2 day hospital job, when she comes into the office area yelling "The toilet is flooding!!"  I run into the bathroom and sure enough the floor is flooded. ...

    First ABT's

    Okay, not much to show in the Q-View, but I still can't seem to remember to get out the camera.  The view of the 2 ABT's is after I pulled the leftovers from the fridge.  This was my first attempt and it was a complete success.  I measure success by whether my wife likes what I smoke.  She...

    Cold Smoke Questions

    Okay, I read all the forum posts about making bacon.  But, what I keep running into is the term "cold smoked it for XX hours".  I read other posts for gradually increasing the temp's from cold smoking to higher temp's.  I am a newbie to this and don't really have an understanding of what cold...

    ECB Modifications Effectiveness

    Okay, I'm going to tell on myself & my age-deteriorating brain to explain how I discovered the effectiveness of an ECB mod.  I put all of the mod's on that I found through the forum and they got my ECB perking right along at about 225+- a few degrees.  Then a couple of smokes back I discovered...

    Newbie Smoker With a Mesquite Question

    I live in Arizona with a lot of mesquite trees around.  One especially large one (3-4 ft. diameter trunk) is in my front yard.  I have a tree guy coming in a day or two to do the yearly trim on it (its too big and I'm too old to try trimming it myself).  I am going to have some selective...

    Signature

    I see a "signature block" at the end of a lot of posters.  I haven't been able to figure out how to include that in my posts.  I'm a newbie, so could someone help me out in how to do that?

    Newbie Smoker

    Hi, Dean Palmer here from Arizona.  Just getting started into BBQ smoking.  I just purchased a Brinkman ECB and did the "Jeff Mod's".  Tried my first session over the weekend, cooking some chicken breasts as a trial run.  Worked out pretty well, but I think I got the rub layered on too thick. ...
