    My Loins Are Pretty! (with 8 pics of Q-View)

    250 - 275 degrees, slender loins, trimmed of almost all visible fat, close to the heat/smoke source in a propane fired 38" Weston. And thank you!  :)

    My Loins Are Pretty! (with 8 pics of Q-View)

    Well, I'm sure a lucky girl to have him, and if good food helps keep him around, I'm happy to oblige!!  The book suggests a scandalously low 140, but that's still a little low for me. They did rise another 3-4 degrees out of the smoker.   Thanks for looking! -Princess

    Anyone ever tried asparagus?

    I like to break off the woody ends, then slice into three sections and wrap each bundle in a half slice of bacon. Pin with a toothpick if you need to, then smoke/grill/broil till the bacon is done. Mmmm... Tasty!

    My Loins Are Pretty! (with 8 pics of Q-View)

    My return to my smoker this weekend inbolved an 8lb loin and the Spicy Rub recipe from the wonderful Ruhlman/Polcyn book, Charcuterie. First thing was to mix up a double batch of the dry rub: Oh WOW did it smell good. Then, I trimmed up my loins into two beautiful four pounders: I...

    I am back!

    My father in law* fixed my venturi, back around March?  I did some shrimp (sooo easy) right away, but was just too busy to do much else.  This weekend, I did an 8lb pork loin, and you know, I found myself taking pictures and thinking of the Q-View and how much I missed all y'all. So YAY!  I am...

    I am back!

    Howdy everyone. I guess I am back.   I have missed you all very much.  I know I have been away more or less since December.  I did a big smoke for my son's 2nd birthday, then right as I had prepped almost 50lb of summer sausage, my smoker died... 100% death. No flame. I wasted a lot of time...

    Sausage Stuffer Questions

    I have the 5lb Grizzly and frequently use it to do 25 lb batches of sausage. I do not mind swapping out every 5lb, as it lets me ensure my meat is kept cold. Also, it has encouraged me to experiment with flavors. For example, my last run of summer sausage was a 25 lb batch: 10 lb regular, 5 lb...

    HVR Cleaning? Venturi Cleaning? ::panic::

    I got at water  buddy who works for the gas co, says maybe my regulator froze? Which would explain why the kettle of hot water took it from No Flame to Low Flame. He suggested bringing the HVR into the house and trying again next time. Didn't help me today tho... ::sigh:: Ah well... now I know...

    HVR Cleaning? Venturi Cleaning? ::panic::

    The problem is that there is NO discernible difference in flame height from low to high. It's on or off, and the best I've got is low low low flame. I could easily hold my hand over it at a 5" height with no issue.

    HVR Cleaning? Venturi Cleaning? ::panic::

    I usually do it in that order anyway, but yeah, you're right to suggest trying it. Thanks! :) Like I say... I have her lit now, but that flame is TEENY tiny. I'm a little worried about getting the cabinet hot enough for the 2nd phase of the smoking. I'm following Rytek's recipe and he calls for...

    Does anyone out here understand Latin?

    You're fine darlin'... The Darling husband is on it (knows some smart professor guy who is looking into it)  I guess the Romans had about a zillion different words for where different kinds of cooking was done, so I'm just gonna have to see what I like best.   We're re-decorating the kitchen...

    HVR Cleaning? Venturi Cleaning? ::panic::

    I'm so aggravated right now, I could just spit. I started another 30 lb of Summer Sausage (Cervelat) two days ago (giving a bunch as holiday gifts).  Got it all reground and stuffed this morning, went out to fire up the smoker aaaaannnd....nothing.  I just used it three weeks ago for my son's...

    Tongue goes great in summer sausage, IMHO.

    Does anyone out here understand Latin?

    Domus Succendo Regina - In my Kitchen, I am Queen. (or more literally, "In the place in my home where cooking is done, I am the ruling female," but that is as close as I think I can get) Is there anyone out there that can confirm this for me? Or have a good resource for me to check?

    Post your Tattoo

    These are gorgeous. The most wonderful art I have seen lately stems from the deep and rich family/church Latin culture.  Please understand, I am very proud of my mixed Polish/Irish heritage and try to honor it, but I admit I am a tinge jealous of the amazing sense of community that my Latina...
