Is this a point?
LOL that'll be the last time I ask someone where to get something without checking to see if they are in the same country now I guess I gotta keep lookin for a point. They gotta do something with them when they trim it off of a flat.... -
Where to buy meaty beef ribs in Los Angeles?
I live behind the orange curtain and I have asked the meat section at vons to order some. they aren't very meaty, but they come frozen in a vacuum pack. There is a Lucille's nearby in Brea, and when I get beef ribs there the meat is much thicker than the bone. I want to find out where there... -
Is this a point?
where did you get the chunk of meat and what was it labeled as? I cant make out the label from the picture. I've not yet seen a point sold by itself. I would love to know where to get one so that I can make burn ends without having to buy a huge packer. thanks for sharing, it looks very juicy -
Mesquite ruined my meat
I am new at smoking, and I bought a bag of mesquite lump that I've not gotten around to using. I don't want to have problems like the original poster. What precautions should you use? I have a MES that smolders the wood. Should I just not use the mesquite wood in an electric smoker? is there...- cppbrian

Any New 40" MES reviews?
I got a new 40" MES for Christmas. I've smoked with it twice, and its worked well so far. The window is pretty much useless, after about 5 hours of smoking it turns brown, plus it is not double pained or insulated so it probably contributes quite a bit to heat loss. My unit came out of the box...- cppbrian

first fatty, for newyears
I made my first fatty kind of on a last minute decision for new years. it was basic italian sausage, with one side being cheddar and banana peppers for the wimps, and the other side being jalepenos and pepperjack cheese. I wrapped it up with turkey bacon to try to save on calories. I dont know... -
beef ribs
My wife's favorite meat is beef ribs. I had to ask the 'butcher' at the local grocery chain to order them. They came in a 2 pack frozen vacuum sealed bags. they were on sale for $1.39/lb. as others have said, they aren't super meaty from the grocery chains, but I don't know where to find a... -
My Fatty Split
its hard to tell with that picture, but what did you have as a stuffing? was it something that would expand when cooked? how much did the sausage overlap when it was sealed? I bet it still tasted good :-) -

My first smoke: pork crown roast (Q-view to follow the smoke)
All finished now, it turned out good, but im thinking should have put it on the racks instead of in a tray, because only the outside top got smoky. The rest tasted good and was very tender, but not a strong smoke flavor. The temperature in the smoker averaged between 240-250, and the roast hit... -

making liquid smoke?
oneshot, now you got my engineer mind thinking about making some pure liquid form of the airborne particulate matter that makes smoke smoke... if you heated it up the solid particles to a high enough temperature to produce a liquid form they would probably decompose... but i think too much. :-P...- cppbrian

making liquid smoke?
I know that 'liquid smoke' is frowned upon here, but i'm wondering if a water pan with no drippings will take on the flavor of the smoke. Can you use it in recipes when firing up the smoker isn't practical, or to use in sauce. I'm thinking maybe use the water pan water to boil potatoes in or as...- cppbrian

Thank you Scott and Coffee_junkie for that info. -
Venison/Elk.... not sure what to do with it.
I like my meat rare, but I was wondering if there were any health concerns with wild game having the meat being rare or medium rare? Will certain parasites not be killed in the cooking? I have heard of doing a deep freeze for game to kill the unwanted buggers, but I haven't seen anything... -
Dave's Dragon Dust, something to rave about
Now I'm interested.. How hot is this dragon dust? I like hot food, but I'm more interested in a good flavor heat than I am in pain. It sounds like this seasoning has a good blend of both. I've bookmarked the page to look into when I get some funds freed up after the holiday season.- cppbrian
