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

    Ha Ha, and this is why all threads here should be read only and never erased or deleted. Here I am almost 5 years later with 3 big bags of frozen Beef Cheeks given to me by someone who did not want to mess with them looking for ideas, and here is the answer. Thanks Chilerelleno for originally...

    What's your favorite off-the-shelf/store-bought barbecue sauce?

    For store bought, I use half KC Masterpiece mixed with half Head Country Hot as a good standby. For brewing my own I use something similar to Jeffs.

    Burger presses

    For grill/smoked burgers I have a 4" SS simple ring 1 inch tall. Yep I can quickly and easily hand fill and mash to make them as thick as I want to get them uniform in cookie sheet pans. Looks like an open top cookie cutter. Something like that could be made of a slice of 4" PVC pipe cleaned...

    Heating up leftover brisket

    Different options for different situations. For larger gatherings I pull out frozen bags of brisket and put into a crockpot with a little liquid beef broth in the bottom and let warm for at least three hours.

    Salad Dressing Recipes

    Thousand Island Dressing Ingredients: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons ketchup 1 tablespoon white vinegar 2 teaspoons sugar 2 teaspoons sweet pickle relish 1 teaspoon finely minced white onion 1/8 teaspoon salt dash of black pepper This is not bad also in my opinion. I am trying to avoid MSG

    Butchering gloves

    I picked these up at WM in the fishing department, great for cleaning fish and to use for other "close knife" projects. I just hang them in the dishwasher a couple cycles. Thanks for the tip of using a latex glove over them.

    Flat top

    I am a single guy but do batch cook for a meal or two and frequently extra to freeze some of it. I do not know about others, but I frequently use most of the entire surface or at least 3 burners of a 36 inch BS frequently. If you have space for it I recommend going larger than smaller. I had...

    Flat top

    Look like a great deal to me. I have seen some missing some of the extras like the metal storage top, paper towel holder, magnetic tool holder, etc. that this one shows. By lifting off the top and two bolts on the undertray the legs are made to fold up for storage or easily moving if you save...

    Walmart - 36" Blackstone with hardtop $279

    That looks identical to the one I got at TS about a year ago, same metal storage cover lid, paper towel holder, magnetic strips and hooks for holding things. Great price also. It would not be too hard to lift off the top and fold up the underside to move if you needed to if you save the box. I...

    Crispy Jalapenos

    I have a deep fryer in one of my cooking devices on the deck that holds about a gallon of oil. When cooking fish I do some jalapeno slices dipped in my left over fish batter to fry a couple minutes. They are great while fresh, but get a little soggy leftover. Now got me wondering, if I would...

    Dukes Mayo

    I use Dukes instead of butter frequently, grilled cheese sandwich browned in it is delicious, you can easily fry an egg in it also.

    Who Makes Their Own Seasonings (Rubs)

    I mix most of mine along with making salad dressings. Yes many people share their favorites here and many other sites and if I think it might fit my taste buds I give it a try. Many websites can be found to "copy cat" close to common brand items to make my own. Like you I am not a big salt...

    Floored, Stunned, and Blessed by The Gracious Generosity Here at SMF

    Great. I was not part of this group who donated, didn't know about it, but I agree with all the comments of the great people on this forum, but some go above and beyond. This is absolutely the greatest group of keyboard guys and gals to associate with I have ever been around. Merry Christmas...

    Brisket - how low can you go?

    Not really considered doing that, not sure how I might avoid strong spots and that also sounds like a lot of trouble to go to. Just adding a few little pieces of wood (about 1 oz) in the little heater tray, plugging my smoker back in and when the bitter heavy smoke clears just setting the pan...

    Brisket - how low can you go?

    Well, I guess that could be done, but I do not think it would be the same as the quite a bit of smoke penetration I get while cooking and the smoky bark I get from the entire smoking process. Only sometimes I like a little more smoke, so add it at the end after pulled or sliced. Most of my...

    Thin Crust Recipe

    Depends on how thick I make the crust, thicker, yes, thin not as often and it depends on how thick I put toppings on, but I do it just as I would a canned roll of the store bought pizza dough to spread out.
