    my 1st. cupcake chicken

    Nope I made 6 and ate 4. My wife and daughter had the other too. For some reason when I cook my dogs always hang out around my smoker...don't turn your back on them when you rest the meat!

    1st smoked turkey legs

    Any meat on a stick is good but turkey legs are fantastic. I used a basic brine and poultry rub. I brined for 48h and smoked for 3h @ 230* with apple and mesquite smoke cooked to an IT of 170* They turned out so tender and juicy! I will say they really taste like ham! Not what I was...

    my 1st. cupcake chicken

    I got a Myron Mixon cook book for Christmas gift and I wanted to try his world-famous cupcake chicken. I trimmed the knuckle bone off 6 chicken thighs and placed them skin side down in a aluminum cupcake tray with holes poked in the bottom then put the tray in a pan of chicken broth. Cooked for...

    Cooking with coals

    I never use charcoal...I only cook DO over a camp fire. learning how to build a fire that will produce good coals is the trick, more so when burning soft woods. I was thinking that briquettes would be easier and save on fire wood. I think I will buy a bag of charcoal and try it next camping trip.

    what do you do if you discover your sausage is not cooked through after an ice bath?

    I just put them back in the smoker again at 170* till they where back up to 160*. Moisture loss was not an issue and turned out fantastic. I think it has something to do with the size of my smoker and the use of a water pan...now it time to package them up for the family.

    what do you do if you discover your sausage is not cooked through after an ice bath?

    They are cured. I have a small smoker and they went in @ 70*. Im using a maverick thermometer and they are dead on. Could I just put them back in the smoker without smoke to bring them to temp?

    what do you do if you discover your sausage is not cooked through after an ice bath?

    Last night we smoked some sausage @ 160*-170* for 2.5 H. Reached an IT of 156*. I pulled then gave an ice bath and a bloom. We grilled a tester and it was delicious. But upon further inspection I saw that some links were touching and seemed not to be cooked, particularly at the point of...

    To Vinegar or Not to Vinegar?

    We soaked them in water for 3 hours. Then added some vinegar for 30 minutes. Smoked them @ 160-170 for 2.5 hours and pulled the links @ 155. After an ice bath and a short bloomwe grilled one up to taste. We found the casings were perfect. Not too tough but still had a good snap to them. Looks...
