    Pork Belly

    This pork belly was picture perfect juicy. I did not have to squeeze it after it was cut. The pork belly was oozing juice. I went back and pulled my notes on my other pork bellies. The total time was between 8-9 hours and temperature was 225-230 and darker bark. This pork belly was very...

    Pork Belly

    I just finished vacuum sealing. I sneaked a little taste. Very yummy for my tummy. I should have grabbed my phone and taken a video when I cut it in half. The way the juice rolled out, it reminded me of the point of a brisket.

    Pork Belly

    I did a pork belly today. This was my longest smoke on the new smoker. The meat was 6.25 pounds and was smoked from 0800 to 1930 (11.5 hours). I have never had a pork belly take that long ever. Final temp was 190 degrees. The pork belly also expanded in height (never seen that before...

    Why would You Tube lie to me (12lbs Pork loin)

    This is my first lengthy cook on my new SM066. Every BBQ channel I watched on You Tube said pork loins take around 3-4 hours at 225. I cut the loin into thirds and seasoned each piece with a different flavor rub. I just pulled mine at 2.5 hours and the temp was reading 150 to 160. I...

    HOLY CRAP!!!

    I received some advice on another forum. He said to reheat them using boiling water since they were vacuumed sealed. I have a sous vide cooker that I can set 150 degrees. One hour of that and they would be good to go.

    HOLY CRAP!!!

    I would buy that in a second...I think they also need to come up with an air freshener that smells like the inside of a humidor.

    HOLY CRAP!!!

    I made smoked shotgun shells for the Super Bowl. I had some left over. I vac sealed them and stuck them in the freezer. My wife reminded me about them tonight. So I tried them. When I opened the bag, I was immediately hit with hickory smoke (unbelievable). I microwaved them for two and a...

    Smoked Shotgun Shells

    Funny thing. I tried parboiling. It did not work out. I had to toss 28 shells. They went flat and split when I tried to stuff them. I only parboiled for 2 minutes. The key is refrigeration. 4 hours minimum.

    Smoked Shotgun Shells

    These have been resting for about an hour. My entire house smells like hickory and maple. They just need the rest in order to meld all the ingredients together. Maybe I judged them too soon.

    Smoked Shotgun Shells

    I just tried this out for Superbowl Sunday. I smoked 2 boxes of manicotti pasta shells filled with 8 oz of cream cheese, 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, 1 lb. maple sausage, 1lb. 80 /20 ground beef, 2lbs. of thick cut bacon, Kingsford Sweet and Salty rub, and topped of with some Sweet Baby Rays...

    Pizza FLATTY (fatty)

    Thanks. It was great. I'm new to the fatty world and have a new smoker. As I said before, I am shocked at the amount of smoke that was infused in the cook with only two ounces of wood.

    Pizza FLATTY (fatty)

    My apologies. I am new to the fatties. I assumed this was a known cook. I used one pound of regular bacon, one pound of mild sausage, 1/2 of a white onion, a lot of mozzarella cheese, and marinara sauce. It just went flat because it was not rolled properly.
