    biscuit recipes for sausage gravy or fatties

    well, I'm disappointed that you've had no replies, I love biscuits, and have been looking forward to some good recipes. :( myself I usually end up with the ones on the bisquick box, good, but I'd like a 'tried 'n true' from scratch recipe. c'mon, someone makes good from scratch biscuits right??

    Greetings from Eastern Nebraska

    Hi Rick! nice to see more Nebraskans showing up. I'm from the Hastings area. Huskersmokeman: I'm interested in the name of that place too, I get that way occasionally, and am always looking for wook chunks.

    Smoker Ashes

    no, it's not just you. http://www.motherearthnews.com/Organ...Your-Soil.aspx you CAN unbalance your soil though (as killbuck pointed out above) so it's not a bad idea to get a soil check done.

    required maintenance?

    excellent. Thank you, I'll give it a go, and report back. I'll have to be sure to get some pics too. First time doing ribs! I'm excited.

    required maintenance?

    alright. that first pic above is pretty much what it looks like now, except the flames are more even now. but still about the same amount of blue/yellow. I tried the air compressor (that was last night before taking the the pics), and I used pipe cleaners on the whole works tonight (threaded...

    required maintenance?

    well, I definitely developed a soot problem(I really think it was spider web), all of a sudden it's building up soot like nobodies business on the bottom of the chip tray and pretty much every other surface inside the smoker, but especially the chip tray. It was probably 3/16" thick on the...

    required maintenance?

    ouch. that's cold to be standing outside! it was actually in the 50's here today I believe. not bad at all. to get the venturi off you have to remove and then partially disassemble the burner unit. tomorrow I think I'll try threading a pipe cleaner or two into the same end of the venturi...

    required maintenance?

    well, I wasn't able to remove it to clean it proper-like. I ended up using an old toothbrush on the holes in the burner, and was able to remove the dial from the front which gave me access to one end of the venturi. I hosed it out with my air compressor, but the results were not what I'd...

    required maintenance?

    wow. I finally found the exploded view of this thing, and the venturi looks like a job to get to for cleaning.

    New Mods. to GOSM

    nice! You have me thinking hard about putting shelves on my smokevault now. those would really be handy. That split door looks NICE, I'm just not confident in my own metal working skill to try that... I like the rolling platform lennyluminum posted too. You guys have me thinking now...

    a lightly damp paper towel in the bag works too, as dose a few seconds in the microwave.

    SMF Status

    I'm a member and super moderator on a large computer related forum, and they've also suffered data loss from crashes, and corruption. It happens to everyone at some point, and there are always those members who get upset. The bottom line is: there isn't a dang thing anyone can do about it now...

    required maintenance?

    yup, that's pretty much what it looks like. ok. nice that I find this out today too, since it's unseasonably warm, I wont have to freeze getting it cleaned up. ...owners ..manual? what's that? Seriously. I got a bunch of papers in the box, but I don't recall anything except the assembly...

    required maintenance?

    I have a Smokevault that has performed very well for me, then after having a few months off (first part of the winter) I put it back into service. everything came out tasting good, BUT the color was not what I expected. It was more grey than that nice dark brown I was expecting. Almost looked...

    large smoke for Memorial Day - Q-view to follow

    one of the Chickens done chicken pulled off the bone party went really well. everything was really good, and everyone said so (always nice to hear) just wanted to thank you all for the help you all provide on here, none of my meats would have turned out nearly as good without it.

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    just did this, and as I was mixing the pork it occured to me that the OP didn't indicate how much pork the recipe will 'treat' is that for 1 butt? if I did 2 butts and a loin should I double the recipe? (forgive me if this is covered somewhere in this thread... I didn't read all 15 pages...

    thanks. It's still pretty new, only done maybe 40 total hrs of smokes in it. Smoke vault - I REALLY like it

    pull a pork loin?

    I just pulled one today. it was good, but dry. The butts were definitely better for pulling. I mixed the butts and loins and they came out really good.

    large smoke for Memorial Day - Q-view to follow

    I had to go, so I pulled the chucks and put them in the oven at 240F (already wrapped in tin foil). an hour later and one of the 3 was at 202F, second was at192F and the third was at 185F!! I pre-heated the oven! how on earth did those 2 lose that much internal temp? We're right now just past...

    large smoke for Memorial Day - Q-view to follow

    you know Roo... that's a thought. we just got back from butchering chickens at my folk's so I have lots of chicken that cost me nothing but the time and effort to pick and butcher them... They're darn good birds though, and I tend to be a bit selfish with them
