    Primo Green Egg, Etc

    I was about to say - you don't see 'em in competitions because they are a royal PITA to move successfully. OTOH, you also don't see huge competition style pits in the average backyard either. Different tools for different audiences.

    Smoking in progress

    Contemplating the amount of dirty dishes, smoker parts, etc. still left to be cleaned today.... - I wish there was a 'dishwasher-o-mat', like a laundromat, where you could take multiple loads and wash things too big for your dishwasher.... or - I wish somebody would go all Tim Taylor and...

    Cart for Smoke Vault

    Discovered a nice bonus while using the cart for the first time this morning (live thread here), the cart raises the smoker to a much more convenient working height - no more stooping over!

    Question for all the FoodSaver people

    It's the width of the roll that matters, not the length. (It's not like you keep the roll in the machine, you cut off and make bags as you need 'em.) That being said, I've be wary of third party bags... how can you be sure they are a) safe for your machine, and b) they are safe for food.

    Here ya go Rivet! Ready to load! Loaded and ready to roll! Preparation notes:I couldn't make sure the ribs were minimally processed, so I skipped my normal overnight rub (which has salt in it) and rubbed 'em with chipotle and paprika. They'll be mopped with my usual mop, 1 part...

    Country Ribs

    Country Ribs

    After four hours, off the smoker, foiled, and into the oven to finish. Internal temp @ 170F so figure 1 hour in a 250 oven, then an hour in the cooler.
