    Pheasant for Christmas?

    Here are the results of the brine & smoke of the pheasants.  I will slice them up tomorrow.  They took 2 1/2 days in Pops brine and 4 hrs w/hickory @240ish in the GOSM.  More pics later after slicing.

    Grinding twice? Why & When!

    I'm starting my trip into the world of sausage! So, one of the more elusive topics I've looked into is grinding twice.  Is there a rule of thumb?  Should it be done only if going down to a small plate size. 1/8" etc?  Or grind twice for any plate size changes?  Another issue is when to...

    Keep the temps steady and let'er go.  Looks good.  I like to separate the point for burnt ends.  Just a thought. Enjoy.

    Brined bacon turned slimy

    Why the concern for your ability to temps low.  colder weather should make it easier?

    Good deal on the Performer!

    Just picked up a Weber 22.5 Performer for $199 @ Home Depot in Aberdeen. I have been watching and trying to talk myself into a new charcoal grill.  Stars aligned and I pulled the trigger when I saw the yellow sales tag.  They were $279 last week, regularly $329.  They had two more in the box. ...

    Does anyone have info on this smoker?

    It looks kinda strange?  Like its got some strange bacteria.  Yea, I see it growing in that one picture.  Best bet is to ship it to me.  I pay the shipping just to help you out. Ha-Ha, lets see that thing smoke something.

    Super mods on a drum!

    That sounds like a good idea.  Can I go charcoal   use the same basket as my UDS?  I was thinking if I used my UDS basket, because this drum is so large (dia.) I would have cold spots on the sides.I don't think a 26" charcoal basket would burn that well.  I had thought about a SFB.  But it would...

    Super mods on a drum!

    You are right.  It is a very heavy gage container. I am thinking about cutting the the very top off and getting a hinge setup to raise and lower it.  If I kept it seperated at the original seam I would lose alot of smoking room.

    Super mods on a drum!

    You are so right. Here they are.  I also corrected my earlier post.  The thing is cut horizontally.  Those are interior dimensions, 30 x 40.  I would have it sandblasted prior to any work.  I am thinking about the Weber propane tube burners.  They are from my old Genesis.  I know I need to...
