    cleaning metal grates

    took my metal SS grates onto the driveway and blasted them with my electric power washer (EPW). yup i just made up that acronym. Worked great but now I have clean stripes on the driveway. I've also put them in the oven in cleaning mode but seems like overkill.

    always brine?

    Thank you SonnyE. Is this formula good for both dry and wet brine? for wet, isn't the amount of liquid going to play a factor?

    always brine?

    I assume the brine is to prevent the growth of pathogens, right? is it possible to smoke fish, fresh off boat without wet or dry brining? i want to make my smoked fish dip for a party later but don't have time to brine. any suggestions?

    Hello world!

    just curious to see how smoking has been with the cold smoker attachment. I got rid of mine due to it producing too much white billowing smoke. acrid taste. too much smoke. went the AMNPS route and am very happy now.

    Masterbuilt Cold Smoker Add-On

    replying to an old post regarding the cold smoke attachment. don't get it. mine, after several uses, maybe even from the get-go, the quality of smoke has been bad. not sure if it's the chimney design but i've abandoned it altogether. like bear and others have said, the AMNPS is the way to go...

    What I smoked today

    korean short ribs = sweet and savory garlic/soysauce marinade. the cut seen here is a LA style cross cut. Three bones make easy hand-held grindage.

    Want to get into the smoking game!!!

    as a relative newbie, i've become quite fond of my Masterbuilt Electric Smoker (MES) now with an A-Maz-N pellet smoker (AMNPS). the MES regulates temps great while the AMNPS gives the right thin blue smoke (TBS). probably run you around $250 altogther. The AMPNS works great inside a regular...
