    Military- Who misses Frank's Franks on post?

    I enlisted in 83. Fort Hood had Robin Hood, Anthonies Pizza and Baskin Robbins and some other places too. I think Frank's started late 1980s. I miss the little AAFES "shopettes" on Fort Hood back then. There was every couple of blocks. Small place with fast food on one side(burgers, burritos...

    Military- Who misses Frank's Franks on post?

    I loved Frank's Franks, especially the Chili Dogs. I also miss Robin Hood Sandwiches, Anthony's Pizza and the AAFES Burger. Nowadays, they have Subway, Panda Express and a Mexican Style fast food place at the PX at Fort Drum.

    Garage fridge

    While conducting my Sous Vide rib experiment yesterday, I did some cleaning in the garage, and decided to give the fridge an overdue cleaning. I will keep it well stocked with beer while keeping plenty of space for food for the grill and smoker.

    Sous Vide Babyback Ribs?

    Well, it was a failure. After 7 hours at 165, the meat was already falling of the bone. Didn't sauce, just the spices sprinkled on when they hit the grill. Flavor was bland, meat too soft. Not a trace of membrane. Thankfully I had some Conecuh I threw over the coals. Will definitely...

    Sous Vide Babyback Ribs?

    Here goes nothing! Left them in the cryovac. Temp is 165. When I pull them(I will play it by ear for time), I will season/rub and put on Weber set up for indirect, on the cooler side, with a couple chunks of hickory on the coals. Will sauce and finish on hot side. That is my plan anyway...

    Sous Vide Babyback Ribs?

    Want to experiment with Sous Vide prior to getting them up to temp on a grill with some smoke. Anyone tried this? I saw some online that called for 30plus hours. I'm looking for a much shorter sous vide time at a higher temp. Thanks.

    Used to do that in Texas. I don't understand what you mean by maybe one or two a year.

    The Beginner's Foolproof Guide to Perfect Brisket EVERY TIME!

    Been a long time since I smoked a brisket. Thanks for the turkey bag suggestion. The use of lighter fluid is a personal decision. I used it for years and years, just made sure the coals were ready prior to cooking. I even know of many Texans who use a small amount of diesel to get their...

    This season's peppers

    The most I have grown before is 24 plants. Believe it or not, they will do very well in those containers with the possible exception of the six smallest ones. I will replant those. I was thinking of trying to winter over the Thai peppers. For whatever reason they are hard to find here. Hope...
