    botched sourdough, what happened? - view

    thanks guys, yes, it's an unproven starter that i made up. i fed it everyday for 7 days, using tap water and all-purpose. i think i'm going to try adding some sugar to the starter (1/2 tsp?) and feed it with some bottled water and bread flour for another week. i'll keep ya posted... thanks, guv

    It's Here!!! My 12 inch D.O.! -view

    it just arrived today and i'm really excited. i've seen alot of d.o. cooking performed while working as a cook in a cajun joint for several years, but never actually used the pot myself. believe it or not, the inspiration for buying this came from scotty's rustica thread! i just couldn't...

    GOSM BB, first smoke, not happy

    was that a full packer, or a flat? to raise the temp 35* in an hour is weird. what was the smoker temp? if it was a flat, you may want to take it to a higher temp, say, 205* for a more tender result.

    starter taking too long?

    yes, i did use tap water. i wasn't thinking about the fact that city water is treated. it's all bubbly though, and is smelling good; do you really think i should start over? i heard about the metal utensil thing too, i just didn't think it would matter... thanks for the input!

    beef cooks slower than pork?

    that's my question, i guess. if i smoke two 8 lb. pieces of meat - 1 beef, 1 pork - do you think one will cook faster than the other one? i know that all meats differ from piece to piece, i was just wondering if you had an opinion. i'm actually going to do this next week so we'll find out for...

    starter taking too long?

    so, i'm trying my hand at some sourdough. i've had the starter going for a week now. it smells pretty good but it doesn't seem very pungent. how do i know when it's done? my house is usually below 70* and i think that's delaying the process. i can hardly wait!!!
