    Oh no they lost another customer

    I too shall never darken the doors of a grocers bacon reefer. it is so easy to do, and SO much better. I've been dry curing a la Al Blancher with the addition of a little maple syrup over the last couple of days, and have played to rave reviews at breakfast lunch and dinner performances. try...

    Filled pork shots?

    Hi Al, Sorry to chime in late, Those pork shots look fantastic! I will try some, but my inclination would be to to with herbed and spiced COLD cream cheese added after they come off to offset all the smoke flavor you have going. You might also carmelize some sweet onions and blend those into...

    Christmas Eve Prime Rib -With Q-View - but Didn't Work Out as Planned

    I have to agree with Red Clay on this one. I have several Philistines in my life who like their beef at shoe leather doneness (anything past Medium Rare) I have done just this and it worked out very well. The other advantage, is getting a lot more crustiness even on rarer pieces of the roast...

    Papaya brined Gamehens

    You know, I keep thinking that papaya on a really tough piece of meat would be a good thing to try. Honestly, the hens probably were the wrong thing to try this on. They are very good, but I'm thinking, like you, that the properties of the papaya really do go 12 rounds with whatever meat they...

    Papaya brined Gamehens

    Al has been a wealth of information for me, and has given me very valuable information in regards to keeping my friends and family alive. I prefer not using nitrates for my own stuff, but I know exactly where it is at all times and am comfortable knowing that I'm keeping the nasties at bay. When...

    Papaya brined Gamehens

    Sure, the Hawaiians use papaya to break down the proteins in meat prior to cooking, and they also eat papaya after a huge meal to help digest, so it made sense to me to try in the brine. Plus I love the flavor of papaya. If all of these birds were staying in my freezer, I would have upped the...

    Papaya brined Gamehens

    What is life without experimentation? Dull in my opinion. Here is a little experiment done on some little birds conducted in my little smoker... i hope you like: I bought a dozen 22 oz gamehens at the old Costco, and defrosted them over 2 days in the fridge. Once thawed, I made a brine of 1...

    My Second Salmon Smoke...Success! With Photographic evidence!

    Hello All! My first run at salmon tasted OK, but I kind of dried it out. Salmon Jerky is fine, but I like it a little moister, so here is a run down of my second try: I got skinless fillets of farmed Atlantic Salmon at Costco. My brine consisted of: 4 cups Apple Juice 1/2 cup Kosher Salt...
