    Preparing for the weekend

    Thanks! It should be a good game, and hopefully I can do my part and not mess up the chili.

    Preparing for the weekend

    A few days ago I saw Jeff posted a Super Bowl Chili recipe on https://www.smoking-meat.com/ . This peaked my interest since I always like to try different chili recipes. The recipe calls for brisket burnt ends, which I don't have, so I decided to do/use...

    Costco - Boneless center cut pork shoulder roast

    I had a couple of these shoulder roasts in the freezer, about 3.5lb each and was looking for a way to smoke them. I did not want to do a pulled pork smoke, so I decided to try a sliced pork smoke. After some research I decided to go with a 250 degree smoke up to an IT of 175. I also wanted to...

    Biltong & Chilli Bites

    Thanks for the information. I ordered 1kg of the biltong spice and will try it out. Maybe I will do a side by side comparison with the biltong spice I make.

    Looks very good. i need to get off my lazy bum and make some biltong again. Do you have a biltong mix recipe you can share? Where did you buy your chilli bite spices from?

    Biltong Dryer Barrel

    I am getting ready to make some biltong again. A few month ago in Arizona I just used a cardboard box with 4 dowels and a fan. I worked well for me. Over the lat few months I have moved to Washington and is planning to set up something different to hang.dry the biltong. I am definitely going to...

    New member with results from my first smoked Pork butt

    Thanks for the nice words and information. This smoke was basically to get the "pull" part of the cook right, and I think I accomplished it. Now I have a baseline, and next time I will add some more flavor. Actually the next day I preferred the pork as is with some of the remaining drippings...

    Thanks for the information. I will definitely be looking for those A-MAZE-N Products deals. For now I am just trying different flavors and brands before doing any bulk buying. Heard good things about the charcoal flavored pellets. I will probably buy some to try them out.

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't sure where to take time out from the 3-2-1 method, but getting it to 165 first makes a lot of sense. I see you also provided a rub recipe. Thanks! I will try it at some time, but for the next couple of times I will still use my marinate and basting sauce...

    PERFECT RIBS EVERY TIME! This really works!

    Al, thanks for posting this great tutorial. I am new to smoking, but have made some good tasting ribs already. My problem has been getting it tender without being overdone. Currently I marinate my ribs without honey and sugar, then use the 3-2-1 method at 225. For the last hour I add the honey...

    Thanks. It seems that Pecan is a favorite. I will definitely try some Pecan next time, probably the Lumber Jack brand.

    Thanks for posting these recipes. I will need to start planning my next pork butt smoke, and will then definitely try out a different combination of rubs and sauces.

    Thanks! I have not seen Pitmaster pellets in Lewiston ID, but I will look around. For now I am using Lumber jack, Green Mountain and Pit Boss brands.

    I have to give credit to another thread. I also tried some finishing sauce for pulled pork. This finishing sauce definitely added some good flavor to the pork. This is the finishing sauce thread: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/soflaquers-finishing-sauce-for-pulled-pork.51933/ The...

    New member with results from my first smoked Pork butt

    Thanks for the advice. I have one of the A-MAZE-N TUBE AMNTS, but did not use it this time. I first want to set a baseline of the taste, and then add smoke until it is enough. Reheating smoked meat the next day normally gives me an indication if I had too much smoke. Do you have any suggestion...
