    Is it crud or micro-flavor enhancers?

    Just be careful. You may have improved the draft enough to lose a brisket through your chimney.

    Birthday Brisket w/ Q-View

    Again, inspired by the Q-View, I've tried something new. I'm disappointed with the results.... Tried to probe the water grenade fatty an hour ago, and well, let's just say it was a bad idea. I think everyone deserves a happy B-day, brisket day, that is, no matter how old or young. Kudos!

    An evening to myself

    Is Bassman the only sane one in the bunch? Given the opportunity to stuff the fridge with leftovers of the things I don't have time to make when "someone else" is doing the cooking, without "someone else" constantly looking over your shoulder and second guessing every extra flake of red pepper...

    Deer Loin with q-view

    Lookin' good! I miss venison.... Looks like I'm going to have to "step up" my workout schedule so I can slim down enough to get back out in the woods. I'd hate to have someone find me, gut me, drag me home, and smoke me. Of course, if they do, I hope they do it half as well as you guys would!

    Nobody said this could be contagious

    Flyin'illini, et al., Here's a bit of advice I got from a professor, long before I was married. If you want a new hobby, a new this-or-that, an upgrade to this-or-that, you have to convince the spouse that THEY need it more than you do. Get them hooked. My last computer upgrade was a fairly...

    oh no...not this

    I think Q has replaced chili and cold pizza as my favorite breakfast foods. However, I'm not nearly as devoted as you seem to be, staying up all night to have it fresh.

    rollin' fatties

    I'm using only a single pound and flattening it much longer than wide. My first attempt didn't spiral because I was worried that too much flattening would cause it to burst. But the pizza and biscuit fatties held just fine, even though they were much thinner. OK, the biscuit one did rupture, but...

    Nobody said this could be contagious

    After the amazing inside-out sausage & cheese biscuit fatty experience, I knew my wife was hooked. But I didn't know how much until she called me at work to ask how long it would take to smoke some chicken breast halves. She had gone out with the specific purpose of finding meat to smoke for...

    Best Of Both Worlds Fatty QVIEW

    Not much of a Judas Priest fan, but a brat in a fatty? It's inspired! The marriage of sausages of diverse backgrounds and ethnicities. That's what the "American Meltingpot" is all about. Some might complain and say it's not natural, but I say it's unnatural NOT to experiment with fatties.

    Pizza & Sausage Biscuit Fatties w/ Q-View

    The biscuits turned out well. If I had a better camera, you'd be able to see the center biscuit is somewhat "airy." The rest seem to have flattened out, but it doesn't taste doughy. I'll keep watch as we demolish this tomorrow for breakfast!

    Memorial Day - Brisket - Pepper Spray

    WaysideRanch: Unfortunately, my Rival KC smoker gives me only a *tiny* chamber for any kind of smoke inducing materials. I'm working on modding my charcoal bullet (while I search for a drum...), hoping I can use chunks in the near future. Thanks!

    Memorial Day - Brisket - Pepper Spray

    Sanity's overrated.... Or so "they" say. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if "they" are inside voices or outside voices; it get's pretty confusing some days. Some folks look forward to the day when "the smoke clears." I think that will be a sad day, indeed.

    My problem with SMF

    Addiction? Maybe. I suppose my doctor will tell me at the end of July.... I like to think of it as "passion." In an election year and as a minister, I'm too often disappointed that folks who disagree will do so with such venom that they can't associate with each other. If you think about the...

    Pizza & Sausage Biscuit Fatties w/ Q-View

    As Phil Collins once sang: "I can't dance, I can't talk Only thing about me is the way that I..." SMOKE FATTIES!!! Upon close examination, I have determined that this is, in fact, a rupture and not simply seam failure: When I probed them after three hours, the pizza fatty registered 170 and...

    Pizza & Sausage Biscuit Fatties w/ Q-View

    OK, cheat shot two hours in (smoker at about 250, fatties at about 145): I forgot about the extra biscuits I left on the grate.... A little crunchy, but not bad with some honey.

    fattie newbie

    Capt Dan, That's the ticket! And the twisted plastic wrap at the end, just like when we did links in the meat shop I worked in through high school, except that we used intestines for casings... but I digress. I was trying to figure out how to seal the ends, but the more I fiddled with it, the...

    New Smoker from Michigan

    Agreed, nice shots. With all the wind you folks have had over the past few days, I'm guessing you had to nail all that down before you could shoot it? Welcome!

    Thought I smelled something good from the west. Welcome! We're all in this together.

    fattie newbie

    On my first fatty, I rolled it out on waxed paper, but it stuck too much for my liking. On the two I posted *moments ago* I rolled them out on plastic wrap, which seemed to work much better. I think the plastic wrap was better, also, because it allowed me to compress the whole thing as I rolled...

    Pizza & Sausage Biscuit Fatties w/ Q-View

    Inspired by HokieSmokie and CinnamonKC, I launched two fatties this evening after work. The first is a pizza-esque version featuring pepperoni, mozarella, and sun-dried tomatoes (I was worried about how wet sauce would be). Check it out: The second is a simple sausage and cheese biscuit...
