    Naming your smoker...

    Now this is a good point. Waiting for her name....... Maybe that is why they can be so tempermental at times while trying to cook, and so unpredictable. Now I know why we have so many problems with them. Thanks Tonto for pointing this out...... And no, I haven't named mine yet, but maybe...

    Carolina Smokin' Fall Fling & BBQ Festival

    Well, I think I am home.... Finally got unpacked and most everything put away....still have some stuff to go yet. Luckily I had the day off, so I got a lot done. It was cool Friday night, and VERY windy on Saturday. We estimated at least 30mph winds. It effected all of the stick burners...

    Carolina Smokin' Fall Fling & BBQ Festival

    Well, it is that time. We are almost packed and ready to roll. Just a few last minute things, and showers before we leave. We are in hopes of being there about 1pm when meat inspection starts, then get set up. The other half doesn't see why I "HAVE" to leave so early. So I explained to her...

    First attempt at Venison

    I had heard/read that, but being a little stubborn, I thought I would try it "naked" instead. I did put some of my rub on them, and then spooned some of my vinegar base sauce on it during the cook. Overall it turned out real good. I will try some milk next time. I cooked it at about 250-280...

    First attempt at Venison

    Well the verdict is in.... I did cook it kinda low and slow... averaged between 260-280 degrees... a little higher than I normally cook. It came out really more moist than I thought it might. If you look at the shoulder, you will see where I cut a couple of samples out. I think the ham...

    mustard before the rub

    I didn't read all of the responses, so hope I don't repeat too much on what has already been said. I myself haven't tried mustard on a pork butt, will be trying it next weekend. I voted just put the rub on the meat, as that is normally what I do. I have had great results so far. A few times...

    Carolina Smokin' Fall Fling & BBQ Festival

    If you remember how my side box was, I lowered the charcoal rack, and put a piece of stainless steel in front of the opening for the door so it covers about the bottom 3 inches. LOTS of room now, I can put a good 10 lbs of charcoal in their and use the Minion method.... holds a nice steady...

    rib rub?

    That is the one I started with.... not bad at all. Like it says, basic. You said she brought home some, but not how many. Do some with the basic rub, some with s&p, and go from there.... sometimes, just s&P is great for something basic and simple. If by chance you have any pineapple in the...

    First attempt at Venison

    Just brought it in. Will have some pics later. I flipped open the phone to snap a pic, low battery.... bummer. I cooked it to about 155. I was kinda wanting to take it higher and do pulled bbq with it, but I didn't want it to dry out.... so being the first one, went on the low side. Maybe...

    First attempt at Venison

    I acquired a couple pieces of venison, and have them on now. What an experiment...... The piece on the left is a shoulder, the one on the right is a ham. At least that is how they were labeled. I had just put them on: More pics to come. Bill
