    Interesting article on the origins of barbecue from The Smithsonian

    Rubbing a chicken

    20 hours would be plenty of time to brine if you still wanted to. I've read that anything over 4 hours will both impart flavor and add to the juiciness. But if you don't want to brine, don't. The really are no rules. If this one doesn't turn out how you'd like, then use it as a learning...

    Cold smoked Bologna salad.... Cold smoking w/ the Smoke Daddy.... Q Views ( updated)

    Is there a reason as to why you decided to cold smoke it as opposed to hot?

    Some of you all got me thinkin! You know what sounds good to me?

    I have a hand crank grinder that's probably 50 years old that my mom used to make bologna sandwiches for my dad. I now use it to make 50/50 burgers, that's 50% beef and 50% ground bacon. I haven't had one of those bologna things in a long time, think I'll pick up a log, smoke it, and grind it...

    Rubbing a chicken

    The 2 chickens I've done, I've brined them overnight with a flavored brine, and they've come out great. So I'd say to brine, but others will say you don't have to. Brine one, and then the next one don't brine it, and see which one you like best. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    What was your very first smoker?

    My first is the one I'm smoking on now. Got a Brinkman Smoke 'N Grill for Father's day. So far I've done salmon filets, chicken breasts, a Boston butt, 2 fatties, and 2 spatchcocked chickens. The salmon and fatties both could have been better, but it's a learning process and I'm getting better...

    Pastrami

    Oh man that looks good. Absolutely love pastrami, but you're speaking blasphemy about a Reuben not being on rye. Lol just kidding. That's what's so great about food, there really are no rules. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    cook time

    So it seems that they are averaging 10.5 pounds each, allow for a rough cooking time of 1.5 hours a pound at 250* so you could say anywhere from 12-18 hours lol. The thing to actually pay attention to is the internal temperature. Pull the butts off at 180* if you want to slice, or take them to...

    2 Fatties for the 4th

    Yes I did. Had a terrible time trying to roll it and keep everything inside. IMO I think no more than 1.5 pounds should be used inside, but that's just me. I'm sure there are others that can use that much with no problems. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    I used ground chicken with a maple smoked bacon for the wrap. Monterey jack cheese and honey ham for the inside. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    Buttermilk Brine ?? -- again

    If you cook it properly, ALL chicken can end up delicious. I've converted my dad, a staunch hater of chicken, into someone who asks me to cook chicken for him. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    smoking a whole chicken ?

    Here's a quote I found regarding brining and what it does to meats: The most commonly offered explanation is that the flavor brine solution contains a higher concentration of water and salt than the meat, so the solution passes into the meat cells through their semi-permeable membranes, adding...

    Cherry Dr.Pepper CSR's

    Yum! If you like Dr. Pepper, give Mr. Pibb Xtra a try. A little more intense flavor I think. Looking good so far though Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta
