    First Chicken Leg Quarters

    Did some chicken leg quarters Fri evening before all the wind here in Central NJ! Marinated with soy sauce, sesame oil, olive oil, sugar, garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and some grated ginger, and lemon zest. Came out pretty good - pulled at 170. Nice and juicy - skin could have crisped...

    Smoked Chuckie......what seasonings

    I tried a chuckie for the first time last week and that is what I used. I did leave it overnight in a bit of beer and mopped with beer along the way as well (Sam Adams Irish Red). It didn't really pull but I sliced/chopped it up and everyone liked it. I guess my wife really liked it since she...

    Another chuckie question

    Thank you! I don't think I'll forget a towel or pot holder when dealing with cast iron again!

    Another chuckie question

    I ended up slicing it too and it was really good. I guess I just assumed if it reached a certain temp it would pull apart but didn't take into account there are probably a few other variables to consider!

    Another chuckie question

    Thanks guys - the hand is better after soaking it for a while! When I pulled it due to the coming storm I quickly checked with a fork style thermometer and it was a similar reading but now I wonder if I didn't have the probe in the right place or something. I finished it in the oven and took it...

    Another chuckie question

    I put in a marinated chuckie (2.5 lbs) around 9 this morning - was going well but had to step away for 1.5 hours around 2 - got back and the temp was still 145. Then it started to rain so I brought it to in to the oven - temp still around 145 - am I missing something? Didn't think it would stall...

    Baby Backs and Tenderloin -Qview

    Baby Backs at about 2 hours before foiling Attachment 24713 Baby Backs Finished - the one on the top is the one I tried the yellow mustard on and the one below it just olive oil then the rub. They were both good and I couldn't really tell any difference. Our friends that were over really liked...

    Cast Iron Skillet Question

    I tried the Depot but the selection was a bit sparse today - big run on grilling supplies I think though I did pick up a few bricks to try that. I'll have to swing by Lowes tomorrow - also see if I can find a lid to fit the skillet I have....Almost done with the ribs and tenderloin though -...

    Cast Iron Skillet Question

    You hit the nail on the head - I was getting white smoke at first - removing about half the chunks and spreading them in the pan seemed to get it under control - I think I'll try the foil wrap when I have to add more though and see if that tames it a little more!

    Cast Iron Skillet Question

    Actually - thanks for that tip! I hadn't thought of getting a couple of fire bricks to prop it up but that may work well in mine! I don't have a lid for the skillet and was getting a lot of smoke - I took out a few wood chunks and it seemed to do the trick - can add more later if need be - but...

    Baby Back Help

    I'm doing 2 racks of baby backs as I type - I never used the yellow mustard technique in my short smoking experience so I tried that with the rub on one rack and olive oil on the other with the rub. I'm excited to try both and see if I notice any difference. Also going to throw on a couple pork...

    Cast Iron Skillet Question

    Well couldn't find a grate to prop up the skillet so just laid it on top of the stock fire pan and it seems to be working pretty well so far. Thought I would post in case anyone wanted to try that?! Have some ribs on now and will put on some pork tenderloin with about 2 hrs to go on the ribs.

    23 pounds of pork shoulder w/qview

    Looks good! But is your smoker in your front yard? That's risky as you may attract a lot more guests than you bargained for when they drive by and smell those pork shoulders smoking! :)

    Chicken Wings w/Qview

    Those wings look great! How long do wings take to smoke generally?
