    Sirloin Steak?

    We smoke our home raised Angus steaks all the time, rarely just grill them. But the sirloins we marinate in Worcestershire sauce for about an hour, pat them down a little and spread on some Montana Steak rub. When that is done I fire up one of the smokers and get the temp up to 225 with a good...

    Back from the auction

    I am sure ya do. We are headed up there to South Dakota this summer. My wife has never seen the Badlands, Mt. Rushemore or the Crazy Horse monument under construction. We are both of Native American heritage. I love it up there myself.

    Ribs Cow

    Liquid smoke? Glad you changed your mind on that one. Leave it in the marinade overnight. Smoke them up just like a slab of spare ribs, 3-2-1, or your own variant. Low and slow on the heat, I believe you said 225 which is good. Shoot us some pictures of the finished feast.

    Back from the auction

    It cleaned up real nice, I'll get the camera and take a pic of it "clean" and put up. Yea its heavy, I am guessing 75 pounds. Already sliced up a small little ham that we had in the fridge, nice job. Sure beats our old Sunbeam cheapy, but we won't get rid of it. Didn't even know this was one...

    Smoking Duck Breast

    I have a general garlic rub that I put on the birds after I brush on some butter. But before you do that, make sure you ***** the skin all over so the excess fat can drain off. Ducks, geese and pheasant all have a layer of fat there to keep them warm and if it doesn't drain out, it will be a...

    Best Charcoal Smokers? Feedback please.

    The best charcoal smoker is the one you are comfortable with. It might be a commercially made unit or one you build yourself. Thats my opinion. A smoker is just a tool used to produce smoked items to your taste buds delight. A tool is no better or useless unless you use it, are familiar and...

    Great American BBQ Comp in Kansas City KS

    Hey JDT I had been to lots of concerts there as well. Sometimes as a spectator, sometimes as a law enforcement officer, its a great place. But I wonder where they will do it at. Surely they won't have it near the gravel parking lot. Could you imagine all those teams trying to get their boxes...

    first smoke on my craigs list ecb

    My suggestion since your up in Idaho would be to go buy some play sand fpr a kids sandbox and use in the waterpan rather than water. It will store more heat and equal the temp spikes just a little better than water. Keep that ECB out of the wind howerver you can and be sure to tap that...
