    Smokin everything in Texas

    Welcome! I'm also jumping on board with suggesting a kettle. I think its the perfect first stepping stone to get into stick burners later. You'll still get a feel of managing dampers, vents, and all the outside variables, but its a more controlled environment. And if you're planning on keeping...

    Beef Back Ribs With A Side Of Spares

    Looks delicious! Are those beef back ribs? One of our Walmarts just started carrying those. I've been debating on if it looks like theres enough meat on them to make them worth buying.

    Bucket List Dino Ribs

    This is just from a run of the mill grocery store chain. Other than Walmart, all the stores around here cut their own meat. Just gotta strike up a conversation with the department manager. But we do have some amazing butcher shops around here. Gotta pay for it, though.

    Bucket List Dino Ribs

    Wow! Waking up this morning and finding myself on the carousel was a pleasant surprise! Thank you for all the love, everyone! I have a few cuts on my list that I never pass up when they show up on the flyer, and these are definitely getting added to the list. And I don't think I'll get any...

    Bucket List Dino Ribs

    I've been dying to do a rack of dino ribs since I got into this hobby. But they're just not available around here, unless you want to go to a specialty butcher and pay an absurd price. So I basically wrote it off as a "some day when the budget allows for it" sort of thing. But just like the rest...

    Whats on the menu for the super bowl?

    Looks like my pizza is off the menu. Got 10" of snow last night and my snowblower crapped the bed. Had to wait for my Dad's plow to become available. On my way drop it off. I would have had to start dough by 12:30 or 1 to eat by kickoff. Wouldn't be able to get it going until at least 4. Good...

    Whats on the menu for the super bowl?

    Pizza and wings! I smoked the wings and couple weeks ago and frozen them. They'll get thawed and reheated in the oven. And two detroit style pizzas. One is going to be pulled pork with pickled red onions and and bbq sauce. The other will be half pepperoni and half bacon/mushroom. We're also...

    What's Your Favorite Way to Cook a Burger?

    In this weather, they usually go in a cast iron skillet. I like to get it hot so I get a nice crust. Otherwise, they just go on the gasser. I also have a small blackstone, but that hasn't been set up yet. Its been a couple years since I've smoked burgers. But I'm thinking about making up a...

    Questions to Ask the Health Department

    I know you're right. I guess I'm an over-planner. I've had plenty of things pop up in my day job that isn't at all taught, even in paid training courses, even though they're absolutely necessary to know. I'd rather not run into that sort of situation down the line and find out that there is...

    Questions to Ask the Health Department

    Is the mobile vendor permit the like a classification from the health department? That terminology at least in one city here is basically more like a temporary business permit with the city for things like food truck events. I hadn't thought about the potentially having to do anything like that...

    Questions to Ask the Health Department

    Looking for advice from those that have gone into bbq business or have attempted it. So I've mentioned briefly on here a couple times that we're in the process of starting up a small pop-up/catering business. We've had a great time working on recipes and brainstorming stuff like marketing, but...

    Found a Good Wood Source

    Wood sellers are definitely sketchy around here. My father and brother both heat their houses with woodstoves. They've had nothing bet bad experiences on market place, but they still buy every year to supplement what they get from here. They're both project managers at my company, but don't want...

    Found a Good Wood Source

    Thanks, guys! It was definitely a "DUH!" moment when I realized it was that easy.:emoji_laughing:

    Found a Good Wood Source

    I've been having trouble coming up with a reliable source of wood for the smoker. Maple and white oak are a dime a dozen on marketplace, but I've always used hickory for a lot of things and wanted to try to stick with it. So I've had to resort to buying the 1.5cf boxes at Walmart. I'm burning...

    More Oven Butt

    The bark on that pork looks like it came out perfect! I'd gladly take a sammich! I had to do a couple butts for a baby shower this past fall. When they rescheduled the party at the last minute, I wasn't able to work my day job from home to tend to the smoker and had to resort to the oven. No...

    First Pop Up Suggestions

    I've thought about suggesting that, but in the last 8 months of my prepping and research, I've become numb to it and figured it was obvious.🤣🤣 I'm to the point where if people are willing to risk they're family's financial futures by going around the rules, then that's their problem.

    First Pop Up Suggestions

    It's probably too late to order anything, but you can get some cheap disposable chaffing dishes at Walmart. They come with sterno and should be good to go. You can use them for the pork and chicken, too. Just make sure they're already hot and moist when you put them in there, or they might dry...

    Tri-tip Sale...

    I'm on the eastern side of the state in the Saratoga/Lake George area. But I know Oswego pretty well. I make the annual pilgrimage out there every May for browns and salmon.

    Tri-tip Sale...

    Only one grocery chain in my part of NY ever has it, and their regular price is 12.99. Their sale price is 7.99 this time of the year and 6.99 during the summer. A couple years ago, they were 4.99 in the flyer about once a month. I sure do miss those days.
