    Brisket that ends up like roast beef?

    What kind of Rub? Did you add smoke chips later into the smoke? I have a Smoke-it 2 and have put foil with just a few holes in my smoke tray for a lighter longer smoke period with little air flow, then after a couple hours into my smoke I add a few more chips to usually get the flavor I like...

    Griddle Insert

    Before my Blackstone I used a Camp Chief sit on the grate griddle smaller than the one depicted above, but it gave me a taste of what I could do with an outdoor griddle. I had to find a real glass baster to suck up excess grease at times to keep from overflowing. Worked well but I kept...

    Pork Shots

    Hey me too, got to try this. I like it that old threads here never die, never deleted. They just revive with a new group of guys interested in good food. Thanks for posting back in 2018 so we can enjoy it today.

    Pork Butt in 20 hours at 225 and now 187 ??? Thoughts

    I try to smoke stuff early and not have to be in a hurry, left overs are as good or better than fresh in my opinion. I smoke almost everything at 225' in my electric smoker because I have gotten lazy and no longer enjoy staying up all night tending. Nope not quite as good as a wood fire, but I...

    I've Died And Gone To Bacon Heaven!!! Baconnaise

    I will be trying this spread also, thanks for posting. When getting short of bacon grease, I occasionally buy a little pack of inexpensive hog jowl (from the cheek but resemble fatty bacon ends in texture and flavor), sometimes it hard to find and have to call around. I put a new grease foil...

    Smoked Bologna

    Looks good whole or sliced. I slice chubs into about 3/8 in slices and coat with bbq sauce. Put them on the smoker grates with a pretty, hot fire until they start to singe and flip them over for a couple min to seal the other side. I used to use Fricks, but they stopped making the large...

    Mexican Night, Cachete, Pollo, Arroz Negro, Frijoles Negro Charro and More

    Just a quick update here, after three tries, one in my smoker, one in the oven, and last, I found for me, the most simple and easy way to cook beef cheeks is in a crock pot. This one works for me very well and is easy. Beef cheeks are full of marbled fat and almost impossible to trim raw...

    Ham Smoke Time

    Myself, "precooked" smoked hams taste on the raw side to me with very little smoke flavor. I have a Fricks 10lb in my electric smoker at the moment with hickory. Local grocer in OK, .99/lb. Smoking with a mustard coating with a slightly modified Jeff's Rub to suit my taste at 225, probe at...

    Smoking pork butt the day before

    If you are short on liquid for reheating, boxed chicken broth works well with PB also.

    Microwave Pork Rinds

    For anyone new trying these: Every microwave power is different and this product is very sensitive to getting done "just right". I do suggest watching it closely. When the bag is fully expanded you can hear the activity popping decreasing it is time to hit the stop button. A few seconds...

    New BBQ and smoking tool/toy

    I use something similar to this for lighting my fire ring fires and brush piles. 1 lb tanks I refill off a standard BBQ tanks fit on the handle, guess I could double up and use it for other things too just have to stand back a little further. Ha Thanks for sharing...

    Who Makes Their Own Seasonings (Rubs)

    I am allergic to MSG so found a recipe for something similar to Sweet Baby Rays and do not add MSG. I spiced it up a little with the Colemans powdered hot mustard (Chinease egg roll hot mustard), but without that it is pretty close to SBR. If you have the "stuff" or something you can...

    Pork Butt long rest

    For larger gatherings the next day I do similar, smoke, rest, pull, mix in finishing sauce, then I put it in the crock pot innard and set that in the frig with the lid on. Next morning just set the crock into the heater part Transport cool if needed and then let it simmer on warm for about 3...

    Beef cheeks the french bistro version.

    To resirect an old thread, not sure why it came up looking like a current item. I had three packages of two beef cheeks each recently. First package I trimmed which took a long time and smoked for several hours. Not bad but not all that much meat, flavor, smokey flavor for the effort...

    Amish Mustard Eggs ...My Mom said to share this with you guys...

    Did about 20 eggs in a one gallon glass pickle jar. Now past 72hrs, have tried three, yep one after only 24hrs. They are great. My GF who has never had a pickled egg said "Woo, very vinegary". Well yes, that is why they call them "Pickled eggs" Ha. She asked for a second one. I think mine...

    pizza

    Looks like you found a winner deal. I use Half Greek Yogart and half Self Rising Flour to make an easy great crust. Add a pinch of garlic powder if you like.

    Amish Mustard Eggs ...My Mom said to share this with you guys...

    Forgot about these from several years ago. Thanks for opening the thread again. I just happen to have a neighbor that recently enlarged his flock and is selling big ones. I have it on the list for putting them together tomorrow and will report back in a few days. I hope everyone has a safe...

    RIP Tina Turner

    She was in Tulsa in the mid 70's with Ike at a hotel venu on Yale just south of I-44 (for the locals) I had front center seats about 4 ft from the stage. Yep, hot legs all the way up and sweat flying everywhere with her entergetic dancing while singing. She was always a classy lady. Sorry to...

    Sausage, egg and cheese on a croissant

    Looks great. I eat a lot out of my freezer. My first thought was to make up a few of those and slip into freezer bags for a quick microwave breakfast. Like some here I like mustard, might have to also add just a very thin coat of horseradish sauce on one side to go with it. Thanks for posting.

    Burger Brawl Voting Poll....Some Amazing Entries!! (Pretty Long)

    Seems this would work better for some if us if we could choose our favorite for Monday, then choose our favorite we would like to have Tuesday, then our favorate we would like to have Wed, etc. Yep, very hard to choose just one. Also a special thanks for posting the DNQ's reasons and pictures...
