    Ground Beef Jerky recipe

    I’ve tried quite a few and to be honest, I like them all! The last that I bought was a variety pack made by Hi Mountain. It has 5 different flavors and of course the cure. I can’t remember which sporting goods store I bought it from....probably Bass Pro or Cabelas. But I really really like this...

    Running Too Hot

    I had a Smoke Hollow brand propane vertical smoker that had the same problem. It had two separate burners, and even using only one of them, I couldn’t get the temp as low as I wanted....UNTIL.... I discovered that I was able to set the dial “in between” the zero (off) and the 1 setting.

    Favorite Beer

    Ok, now I have to try a Russian Imperial Stout. I’ve had Marzen, but I only see it occasionally.....love it. The latest that I tried and really like is Negra Modela.

    Temp going up too fast?

    Hey Twrexx, curious how your turkey turned out. I smoked my last Whole turkey a couple weeks ago. Lol. Its just a lot of work for something that doesn’t taste too good the next day. Now turkey drumsticks are a different story. I’ll stick to those.

    Favorite Beer

    Dark beer, stouts and unfiltered wheat beer are my faves. Not too much into IPAs, just too piney for my taste. Does anybody remember Little Kings? I remember those from almost 40 years ago. Little bitty bottles.

    New Kamado grill questions

    Hello. Congratulations on your purchase. You’re going to love that thing. Regarding your concern of the heat deflector, you’ll need to flip it upside down, so the three legs are pointing up. Then you’ll put the grill on top of that. The grill will only be resting on the three legs. This will...

    Butt about ready to wrap and out of foil pans!

    After 5 hours of smoke, I usually put the butt in a foil pan (a regular roaster will work just the same) and cover it, air-tight with foil, then throw it in the oven at 250* for another 5 hours or overnight to finish it. The pan will retain all of those juices.......but you’re kinda sacrificing...

    Smoked Cheese

    Hello Disco, Looks so good!!!! I’ve never smoked cheese before but want to give it a shot in the near future. I have one of those nifty smoking tubes that I can use. Seems like the best method to minimize the heat. From what I gathered, 2 hours of smoke should be efficient.........does that...

    Grilled, Hickory Smoked, Prime Rib Eye

    Those look beautiful!!! Our local Texas Roadhouse Restaurant down the street offered a curb side deal on their raw rib-eyes, too. Thinking I may need to see if they’re still offering the deal after seeing these!!!

    16 hours for 4lb pork shoulder blade

    I’ve never smoked a shoulder that small. When I smoke pork shoulders, I usually smoke two at a time....about 7-8 lbs each, then portion them out and vacuum pack. I use a kamado also, but regardless of what kind of smoker, I’ll typically smoke them for about 5-6 hours, around 250*. If the...

    New Kamado grill questions

    I've smoked in Weber kettles, electric smokers, and chimney smokers....but the last straw was an offset smoker that I bought and struggled with for an entire year.....so, I sold it. I know a couple people who swear by their Kamados, so I did TONS of research and watched a bunch videos.......and...

    1st Post..... Easter Turkey Advice

    Yes, sir.....have to have crispy skin! I’ll probably use one to two chunks of cherry.....start at 350*, like you suggested, and drop to 300* after an hour. Thanks Chris

    Thanks for your reply. I considered spatchcocking (If that’s the correct word). That’s how I usually cook cornish game hens. Thanks again
