    Cold Smoked Eggs

    How about this then.  Someone just gave my wife a set of Eggies https://www.geteggiestv.com/ for a Christmas gift.  These little egg shaped containers are made for boiling eggs without the shell.  How about making little yolk sized sausage balls, smoke those and drop one into each Eggie.  Then...

    The great Debate. Does Wild Game benefit from hanging and aging like beef does or not?

    I've been processing my own deer for nearly 25 years.  I'd say I've easily done over 60 deer.  I've read many articles that debated the benefits of aging and have seen some pretty compelling arguments from both sides.  Regardless of anything that has been written on the subject, the only thing I...

    Venison Pastrami

    Thanks for the recipe Cowgirl.  I actually finished my pastrami yesterday so I just experimented with the final rub proportions.  I omitted the juniper berries and bay leaves, and added coriander.  Here's what I ended up with : 2 Tbs course ground black pepper 1 Tbs ground coriander 1 tsp...

    Venison Pastrami

    I know I'm dredging up an old thread, but I'm finally trying this recipe out, got my cure going now in fact.  What are the proportions for the post cure seasoning ingredients? Thanks!

    Brinkmann Vertical Charcoal Basket

    There's always more than two ways to skin a cat.  Here's my method. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j244/Turn4fun/Image04272011160617.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j244/Turn4fun/Image04272011160940.jpg http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j244/Turn4fun/Image04272011165144.jpg...

    Lamb ribs

    Well, here's the results.... 3 hours with apple and cherry wood running between 225 - 240.  Foiled and went 2 hours at about 250.  Removed from foil and bumped temp to 275.  Fat was rendering out like it had a faucet and I started to worry about drying it out so I only went 30 minutes after the...

    Lamb ribs

    I picked up a lamb breast yesterday and decided to give it a try.  It was packaged as two pieces that kind of reminded me of a slab of BB on top of a slab of spares.  After reading some of the threads here, I decided to do each of them differently.  On the first one I mixed up a concoction that...

    Dedicated Cold Smoker Build

    Here's a rough sketch of how I set it up.  The drawing is obviously not to scale. http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j244/Turn4fun/Picture.jpg I only used the in ground pit to do cold smoking in cooler weather, so not much heat transferred.   But, if I really put the wood to it, it would...

    Dedicated Cold Smoker Build

    I built exactly what you are describing several years ago.  I used a 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" Celotex (rigid orange colored foam with shiny foil on one side and dull foil on the other side).  1 sheet will make a 2' x 2' x 3' tall smoker (including top and bottom) with zero waste.  The build couldn't...

    upright or bullet smoker vs. barrel off-set smoker?

    Wait a second, you CAN do regular grilling on a WSM.   The WSM is what I learned to smoke on probably 25 years ago.  We used it as a grill more often that anything else.  Just take the body off and set one of the grills in.  I always used it without the charcoal ring.  Lid still fits too.

    New to building

    I really wouldn't go with 1/8" on the fire box if at all possible.  If you really have to keep the cost down, 3/16" would be better, but honestly, for as big as this is I think you should stick with 1/4".  Yeah, it sucks that it will cost $200 more, but in the long run you are gonna be happier. ...

    BVS mod ideas

    Well I haven't started the mods yet, but I did decide that before I replaced the charcoal pan with a basket that I would try to mod the pan.  I think I remember someone else doing this mod a while back but couldn't find it.  No need for explanations, the pics should speak for themselves.  Anyone...

    BVS mod ideas

    So I got a Brinkmann single door square vertical for Christmas a few years back.  Not exactly my first choice in a smoker, but hey it was a gift from my Father-in-law and I had just gotten rid of my old freezer smoker, so I felt obligated to use it.  I do like the size and the style, but it...

    Weird temps in the RF today

    There was no place I could move it to get it out of the wind today.  I think I may have figured it out.  Since my firebox is partially inset into the smoke chamber, it tends to get a little bit hotter on that end.  I usually don't put water in the RF plate reservoir and if I do I just use a...
