Family in Need
Brian, we live in the poorest county in Florida. There are so many people that need just basic supplies. There are many homeless camps here in Highlands county & they are all supported by the residents of the county that can give, not much goverment help. We have food drives & a lot of events...- SmokinAl

First cooks on the new recteq
Great looking food! It is a shame to get that new smoker dirty! The good thing is it gets seasoned & the dust from the pellets doesn’t get blown into the food. I haven’t used foil on the drip pan in a while, because it kind of acts like a RF plate in a stick burner. The fat sizzles on it & goes...- SmokinAl

Rural King sale!
That is where I get my Lumberjack pellets, it’s a 30 minute drive, but a 20# bag is 9.99. I like the hickory & cherry, both 100%. Al- SmokinAl

Sams club versus Costco
We used to have both, but during Covid we started ordering all our stuff online. Sam’s was free delivery, and we got our meat from Wild Fork. So we dropped the Costco membership after not using it for the last 15 years. But in our case Sam’s is a 1 hour drive each way & Costco is about 20...- SmokinAl

Recteq 1250 one year review
You’re welcome Brian, I have OCD, and just have to tinker with things! Al Hey Brad, good to hear from you. I have never done any chicken in the R/T that I remember. I usually do chicken either on the gas grill or the kettle. I think if I did chicken I would do it on the top rack at 350. Not...- SmokinAl

Hello, we have a little bacon business here in Bakersfield, CA.
You’re going to need one heck of a big vacuum tumbler to even do just one belly. If this is a commercial business then I can’t imagine how large a tumbler you would need, not to mention the size of the vacuum pump. It sounds to me like you already have the perfect setup, why change? If you’re... -

Traeger Ironwood shut off on overnight 18 Lb brisket cook
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t get any replies to your question, but it sounds like you figured it out yourself since you didn’t inject or cut it in any way the inside was still sterile. Even if it was only 3 to 3 1/2 hours in the smoker at 200 that would be more than enough to sterilize the...- SmokinAl

Interesting Testing on Charcoal from America's Test Kitchen
Been using jealous devil lump for a while, and it is expensive. I think it burns longer than Kingsford briquettes, & I like the flavor better too! So that’s my test! Al- SmokinAl

Rotisserie Turkey?
I hope you have a good motor, and balance it really well. That is a lot of weight to spin if off balance. I did a turkey on our SM setup & spent about 15 minutes getting it balanced. The motor never strained or the turkey never sped up then slowed down. Good luck! Al -
Judy is doing bread art again!
She is loving you guys! Since I had to slice the ham this morning, I sliced her bread first, it slices real well in the meat slicer, but the crust is so chewy that it is a mother to slice with a bread knife. We are just about to sit down to a ham Sammie & scalloped potato’s. Al -
How to smoke a alligator
Seen them smoked on YouTube, but I have cooked gator tail & can tell you if not cooked perfectly it is rubbery. But cooked perfectly it will have the texture of a chicken breast. Good luck on smoking a whole gator. We all want to see pics of the whole process! Al -
Memorial Day PP
That is looking great so far. You know with all the rubs & sauces on the market now. It seems to be fun to try different flavors, I stopped making my own rubs & sauces a while back. I can find commercial ones that taste almost exactly as mine did. So, it’s just Judy & I & a little bottle of rub... -

Judy is doing bread art again!
Judy, thanks all you guys for all the nice comments. She was pretty excited, And the bread taste awesome as always can’t wait to slice the ham up. So I guess for memorial day it’ll be ham sammies, beans, and beer.🍺 Al -
Judy is doing bread art again!
This is really cool! Judy got some stencils & lays them on the uncooked loaf & sprinkles flour over the stencil! Then cooks it as usual! It was hard to slice it up, but it is my favorite sourdough recipe that she makes! I’m smoking a ham today, so this will make some awesome ham Sammie’s...
