    Smithfield's Slammin'BBQ

    Thanks. I am really getting pumped for this one.... I just got a pm from a buddy of mine. He saw that one of the teams there was team of the year last year for KCBS.... all that means is he went to a LOT of KCBS comps, and placed really well. But I have been told by a lot of other teams...

    Started my New Smoker Today

    Looking good.... Can I make one suggestion for the CG sfb. Since I have 2 now..... Cut a piece of expanded metal and use it for the charcoal rack. The stock one is way to low.... if you don't already know. I got lazy and just put a piece of expanded metal on the "cooking" grate. Lots of...

    how i plan on making my rows

    Chris, Please do. And let me know how it does. I think you will like it... I sure did. I started out doing the long single rows. Then the more I read, and the more I planted, the more I learned. Don't forget to make your own compost. Bill

    how i plan on making my rows

    Instead of making a row out of a single type of plant, ex: bell peppers, I use to make 2 or 3 shorter rows and that helps with pollination. That is why when you see corn, there are several row, but shorter rows. EX: if you were going to put in 20 plants in a single row, make 4 rows of 5...

    My Char Griller

    If you only do 2 fattie, you'll surely be wishing you had done 3 when.... Well, you get the hint.... you never seem to do enough. Do one naked, with nothing on it. Then do one with some basic bbq rub on it. And then, brush a little bbq sauce on one before it finishes cooking. Like a glaze...

    My chicken secret

    Just to let you have a little of my secret, but not too much, here is how I have been doing my chicken. Marinate the chicken overnight in Italian dressing. I use a sealable plastic bag. I usually do thighs, but have done drum sticks, and cut up chicken as well. They all do well. If you watch...

    Hillbilly Spice Rack

    That would be a cool idea in the trailer when going to a competition... and I can just imagine the looks I would get. I love it.... I found that I too have found buying the small bottles got expensive, and have found a supplier on line that has some very good prices, and I don't have to drive...

    Starting Seeds For Salad Items

    Now that sound like a plan for a small garden... I am thinking of the same idea for here. The ground here is so terrible, weeds hardly grow in it... let alone grass. In fact the wife and I was talking about it just the other night. Possibly tomatoes, peppers, who know what else. Not too...

    Onions

    Do you know why strawberry farmers grow onions in rows by the berries??? To keep rabbits and other rodents out. And, they are good too. So just buy a small bundle of the onion sets the next time you are at your seed supplier and plant them. And if you don't like them, send them my way..... Bill

    basic composting

    Where we used to live before we moved here, we had a sizable garden, 80x80. We grew just about everything. When we prepped any veggies for cooking, we had a gallon ice cream bucket on the counter and would toss all of the "scraps" from the veggies in there. Then when done, I would carry them...
