    Achin for Bacon

    Andy, your post could not have been more timely! First, gotta say that those bellies look mouth-watering. Second, I struggled finding bellies and went to a local Mexican market/butcher where he gets whole pigs every Thursday. He'll have them ready for me today at 1p. I've ordered two. Gonna try...

    Smokin 100 lbs of butt.

    Sounds like you got all the best advice here on this thread. You might want to check out the "Large group" forum for some more good stuff. I did 10 butts once on two CGs and to everyone's point, they turned out great (http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/for...ad.php?t=19462). The key for me, IMHO...

    Pork butt and Ribs with Qview

    Looks like the neighborhood'll be stoping by with all that meat going. Great shots and great looking smoker. Two-sider makes for a monster bash.

    Brining chicken

    Mustang, i've found the amount of salt dictates the length of brining process. In my case, I usually take a 1/2 cup kosher salt/1/2 cup sugar and mix with a quart of water. I'll brine split breasts for an hour at the most. boneless breast actually only 30 min's. Then do what Rich said and create...

    Company picnic help

    Lcruzen is right on. My #1 rule: NEVER RUN OUT OF FOOD. I did the July 4th Neighborhood party for 275 and it was success with left overs. Here's a link to a spreadsheet I created to help with the figuring. Since you're only 40pp, this is probably more figurin' than you need. But heck, here you...

    Disappointing Ribs

    The fattiness is the biggest issue with spares so it's key that when buying them you look for the leanest ribs. My indication comes from looking at the top side of the rib where at least 80% of it is "meaty" with scattered spots of fat. Would enjoy hearing others views on picking ribs. Sorry...

    Minion method with lump?

    I always use the minion, but didn't fill it as high as IBS suggested. 3-4 hours sure beats tending every 90 minutes. Thanks IBS, I'm givin'er a try.

    Enter Fattie Throwdown

    Dave, if ever you'd call a fatty "good lookin'" yours would be it. The weave looks awesome. The ingredients right on. Very, very nice.

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    What Meowey said on the Foodsaver. Just be careful with it...when I got mine for Fathers Day I vacuum packed almost everything in the cupboard and fridge. Therapy has helped ween me from my sealer. . I did a big Q (90lbs of butts) 3 days in advance. Pulled'em that night. Stuck'em in the 250...

    Can you smoke using one of those public parks grills?

    Just because I don't know how to do that quote thing on this forum, I'll resort to typing out the quotes and answering them. By the way, the reunion is in Lake of the Ozarks. Never been but heard it's nice... Rich: Buy an ECB...now that's something I just might do. I'll spare nothing to win...

    Can you smoke using one of those public parks grills?

    I'm heading to a family reunion and they've decided to do a rib cook-off. I'll be using one of those park grills that you see too often where it's a square-open faced grill with a grate that's adjustable. I'm thinking about a large aluminum pan with holes over top of the meat and wrapping the...

    Storing herbs what's the best way? Vote in the Poll

    Another way is to freeze them in water. Ice cube trays work great for portion control.

    Another Rotisserie Turkey Q-View!

    Dave, that is awesome! Someone should sticky this part under gas grill section if it's not already there. Great idea on the baffle. Man, you've got it down! Thanks a lot for spending the time. I'm gonna try my rotisserie now to smoke some birds! Real nice.
