    I want to make my own charcoal

    Here are a couple more sites I have saved. I haven't tried any of them so I can't offer any advice. http://www.puffergas.com/historic/rules/rules.html http://64.176.180.203/charcoalretort.htm http://www.nakedwhiz.com/makinglump.htm

    What chuck roast for pulled beef?

    I am a little confused. There are chuck roasts which are from the shoulder and then there are round roasts from the hind quarter. The rounds could be eye of round, top round, bottom round. For pulled beef I would stick with the chucks since they have a lot more fat and connective tissue that...

    Hook this to your John Deere!

    Ever wonder why there used to be so many 9 fingered or 1 armed farmers? That thing makes me shiver just looking at it. Neighbor used to have about a 3ft diameter saw blade hooked to his old JD B model with a belt like that. He would cut to length and then cut points on cedar fence posts with...

    Help with young kids

    Try putting catsup on it. My kids would eat a turd if it had catsup on it. Just curious but what is wrong with feeding them hotdogs? If you are hoping to make something that a kid likes better than a grilled hotdog you are setting yourself up for a huge disappointment imho.

    Question on Ribs?

    3-2-1 works great for me with the ribs, though I prefer the longer ones because the meat shrinks up so much on the shortribs.

    I've never done a fatty and want to try a breakfast.... Help.

    I fry some potatoes and scramble the eggs and it can be done the day before. I put it on the sausage along with shredded cheese and roll it up. Bacon weave is up to you. I also make one with french toast. After I make the french toast I slice it so it is easier to roll and drizzle on the real...

    I got questions??

    Eye of round, top round, and bottom round are my favorites depending on which is cheapest. Chuck has too much fat plus I think it should be illegal not to smoke and pull a chuckie.

    Turkey hunting

    They are a lot dryer than the butterballs but I fillet the breast out, slice and fry it. Make a little milk gravy and it is fine eating. I do the same with the thighs but everything else goes in my biggest pot with onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. After a few hours I strain it and pick the...

    Turkey hunting

    Where you from John? I love to turkey hunt. Our youth season is April 4'th & 5'th this year and I can't wait to get my boys out there.

    Geek's not real Cajun Turducken (reposted)

    Thanks for posting. I have done this a few times with a cornish hen and a chicken. It is a lot more manageable for me and cooks fast enough to be safe. It is fun to play around with different stuffings too. My favorite so far is a wild mushroom, rice, and waterchestnut contraption I made.

    How-to smoke venison brats

    I think you just have to avoid having them in the danger zone for more than 4 hours. I cook brats all the time on my Weber at around 250 deg. to 300 deg. I usually take them to 160-165 internal but 152 might be ok. Since they are only in the smoke a couple hours I see no need for cure.

    Beef Ribs...advice

    I have done them 3-2-1 with my standard beef rub and they turned out fantastic. If they are the shortribs they shrink up quite a bit so I prefer longer ones but for $.95 I would have jumped on either one.

    Daughter would not eat meat

    When I was smoking some ribs last weekend I started thinking that instead of waterboarding the CIA should have just smoked some ribs up wind from the detainees. Since they can't eat pork they would have cracked in no time. Of course that would have been considered torture also.

    UDS question

    I am planning my uds build and have a quick question. How hot does the bottom of the drum get? I am planning to put approximately 3" legs on the bottom of the charcoal basket. I am going to have 2 wheels on it and 1 leg so I can wheel it in and out of the shed like a 2 wheel dollie. This will...

    what wood do you suggest?

    I am an experimenter by nature and can't just stick with one thing. I don't have any alder but I like to use oak and apple a lot. Of course hickory too. I am using charcoal and putting chunks of wood in it and just keep a few different kinds in different bags. That way we don't get burned out on...

    Deer Sausage

    While it will never taste like beef or pork, most of the flavor that people object to is in the fat and connective tissue of the deer. Make sure the meat is trimmed of ALL fat and silverskin and I think you will be much happier with it. I mix 50/50 with whole pork butts. Leave most or all of the...

    Thermostat questions

    Thanks for the reply and links. One thing I don't understand is what you mean about the time factor. For example, I watch the thermometer and the heat gets up to 120 deg and it kicks off. It probably took 10 minutes for it to get down to 90 deg and kick back on. Is that consistant with what you...
