    Nice! Can't wait to hear what you thought of it, AND you get to do a pastrami for testing, that's the way to do it

    How do you store your cheese?

    That's exactly what I do. I usually won't use a whole block of cheese at once and that ensures it will remain fresh and delicious

    Very nice indeed I thought from the title of the thread you were sleeping on the couch in anticipation of your smokers arrival in the wee hours of the mornin.

    Help!!!!

    That's about your best and only good option. Wrap it good enough (at least twice in plastic wrap) then I would also wrap it in foil.

    A brisket question

    5lb brisket running at those temps I would guess about 6 hours to come up to temp. Could be 7 and could be 5 but I would guesstimate about a 6 hour cook time if I were doing a 5lb flat. Remember that if you need it for a certain time it will require a resting period in a towel and cooler so it...

    Spur of the moment Chuckie with Qview

    I would temp your poultry and then the chuckie since the hens and such ought to be done before the chuckie gets up to temp. 165-170 on your birds. Wait, just noticed you haven't put them on yet so I would bring the chuckie to 165 then wrap in foil and back on. Hard to judge when to throw the...

    fattie help

    Personally I don't do a bacon weave, never have. Not because I am against it by any means but simply because I just never did. When I do wrap my fatties in bacon (about 80% of the time) I simply use 3 strips of bacon on a slight angle so they completely wrap around the entire chub. I guess if I...

    Smoking my first picnic, few questions..

    Sorry to hear you had to toss it, if something like that happens again and it hasn't been in the danger zone for too long you can always wrap in foil then finish in the oven.

    Baconnaise, Like it sounds.

    Exactly, I picked up a jar before and was less than impressed. Though the product is vegetarian and low sodium so that right there tells you something. Same company makes bacon salt which is alright, they send the stuff to troops over in crudhole countries that don't allow pork so they can...

    Smoking my first picnic, few questions..

    Sounds fine but get ready for the stall, it could last half an hour or it could last a few hours but they generally hit around that temp give or take 10 degrees or so. Don't crank your heat up to get through it, keep steady and it will come out great

    Pastrami Revisited

    Looks like your off to a tasty start! I always steam my pastrami, cool then steam the next day. It not only helps make the meat even more tender but pulls in moisture so it is extremely juicy and succulent. I have gone 3-4 hours and it is fine since they will only absorb so much additional...

    Philly cheese fattie?

    A true Philly cheesesteak will have wiz on it but provolone is also commonly used. You won't normally find mushrooms or peppers on on one though, meat and cheese and either wit or wit-out onions. Personally I love to add shrooms and peppers to mine but whenever I go to Philly it is a cheesesteak...

    Boiling Your Ribs Tutorial

    Scrum-Diddly-Umptious ribs...Hmmm...... Sounds more like soup. Don't get me wrong, I love soup but not rib soup. No offense to those people or anything but damn they don't know the first thing about ribs, and to claim they will be the best ribs you have ever eaten...maybe those folks need to...
