    I'm going with lots of  'teasers and finger foods Starting with various vegis with a apricot ginger dipping sauce (made in a crock pot) and sliced smoked salmon & avocado wraps when people arrive.  Home made Swedish meatballs come out around kickoff, closely followed by some smoked jalapeno...

    lasagna fattie

    I made one once where I rolled out a long sheet of fresh pasta, then laid two strips (each was 6 inches wide) side by side on top of plastic wrap.  Then I layered ground sausage & beef, sauce, ricotta, motzarella and Italian seasonings and rolled it up, so that I had a spiral of the pasta...

    Cooking half a pig.

    I have not done one this small, so it may do just fine without flipping it - I suspect it won't be too thick (I'd guess not more than 4-5 inches) even at the butt and shoulders.  I've done 70-80 lb whole pigs, up to 140 lb whole. Good luck and have fun!  Cooking it this way is great - it comes...

    Cooking half a pig.

    check in the ham (butt) and shoulder - they are the thickest and take the longest.  Your smoker sounds great - it should do the job nicely! I would start it skin side up.  Check after a few hours, and when the dripping fat slows down, flip it to skin side down.  Depending on the thickness, it...

    Cooking half a pig.

    I'm assuming you have something big enough to fit the half pig?  Without knowing what you have to cook it in, I can give you some general advice only. I'd recommend smoking with indirect heat - depending on what you are cooking it in, either have your heat to the sides (not under it) or in an...

    low and slow for chicken?

    I like to do Cornish Hens low & slow. I brine them for 5 hours, rinse, pat dry & rub them, then put them on with a mixture of hickory & cherry for 4 hours at 180 degrees, then boost the temp to 300 degrees for one hour, watching the inner thigh temp and pulling them when the thigh is a bit...

    Dehydraters

    I've had a cabellas for about 8 years now.  Love it - lots of capability and a great dehydrator.  I do rotate my racks to get a more even drying, but have also not done that a few times, the bottom racks dry a bit faster than the top ones.  I have no rust on any of my racks and I use it a lot...

    Nightmare with Sheep Casings

    I've had problems with lamb casings - so much so that I don't like to use them.  However, I found that if I get a regular wooden chopstick form any Chinese take out place, soak the small end in oil, the use that end as a "poker" to get the end opened and started, it makes it easier to open them.

    Pulled Pork eat today or better the next day?

    what he said - cover the Al pan to keep it moist, maybe add some finishing sauce (not too much) and it will be great.

    smoked Top Sirloin Roast - 1st try

    The other day, I was in Fry's (Arizona version of Kroeger) and saw this 8.8 lb whole Top Sirloin and decided to get it and try it on the smoker.  Then my wife had to leave town to go see her brother, so I put it in the freezer for a week.  I took it out and thawed it for a couple of days in the...
