    Smoked Tamales ?

    Maybe you could sprtiz the husks with water during the smoke?  I think using fresh green corn husks would definitely help.  Maybe even soak them in water just before wrapping the tamales.  How long does the recipe say to leave them on the smoker?  How do you know when they are done?

    First Smoked Pork Loin Roast

    Looks good!  I made the same mistake on a pork loin roast.  I was smokin' at 225-230 and the thermometer read 150 in what seemed like a really short period of time.  All I had to compare it against was a pork butt, which as we all know, takes a LONG time for the temp to move.  So, I got nervous...

    My first smoke - Baby Back Ribs w/ Qview

    Thanks for the info!  How long have you been using that basket?  I read on here somewhere that those baskets tend to warp in short order because of the direct contact with the coals/wood at high temps.  But the basket is cheap enough that I'd be willing to give it a shot.  Just wondering what...

    Injecting pork butt

    Someone mentioned Dr. Pepper.  Wouldn't that break down the meat and make it mushy?

    My first smoke - Baby Back Ribs w/ Qview

    Nice basket set-up there.  Is that basket re-purposed from something else, or was it designed to be a charcoal basket? Did you spray your ribs before you put them in foil or at any point after foiling?  If so, what did you spray them with? Sorry for all of the questions, but its how I learn

    Smoked Pork Risotto

    I love Risotto and that looks great!  I'm gonna have to smoke up some pork loin to try that out!  A couple of questions:  1. What is the green that I see in the Risotto?  Is that green onion? 2. With the smokey flavor from the pork AND the provolone, I'd be worried that the smoke flavor might...

    Trying butts a different way (for me anyway) question.

    Could you get similar results by putting the butt directly on the grate and then an empty pan underneath the pork butt to catch any juices that fall?

    tounge slappin your lips good pulled pork

    Nice pull there.  How big was the butt?  If it only took you 8 hours, I'm guessing it was about 4-6 pounds, no?  What temp did you pull it off the smoker?

    how do bbq joints time to put there meat on

    I've wondered the same thing.  It must be some kind of logistical magic to have enough meat smoked and ready to go from day to day.  I could see how a smaller place could do it, but for those large-scale restaurants, I just can't see how they do it.  They must have a smoker goin' 24/7.

    Jerk Butt?

    Just had another thought.  Put it on a pork tenderloin roast and put that baby on the smoker!

    Jerk Butt?

    Jerk Butt or Jerk Ribs, either way it sounds good to me!  Ain't nuttin' to it, but to do it (and post the Qview and your impressions of how it turned out ).

    Pork Tenerloin.

    Well, if he can afford the potential of having to throw it away, its worth a shot.  Depending on the size of the loin, he may be able to do it.  If it doesn't get up to 140° in 4 hours, he'd have to bag it, but it would be an interesting experiment, especially since he bought the meat   I'm...

    OK, I just ordered a Genuine Smithfield Ham

    This is one Qview I am REALLY anticipating.  You can't find a country ham out here in Cali and I haven't had the guts to tell my wife that I need to spend that kind of money just to get a ham.

    Suggestions on 1st leg of lamb

    I wonder how it would taste with veal stock instead of beef.

    Suggestions on 1st leg of lamb

    Where in No. Cal?  I'm in Berkeley.  Gotta love the farmer's market meats.  You can get meat the way it used to be done at butcher shops back before I was shopping for meat.

    Having a party in a couple weeks, smoke ahead of time?

    Interesting.  That's something I never would've thought to do.  I'll have to try it.  Thanks for the suggestion!
