    What was the last concert that you went to?

    I went to Hank Jr and Whiskey Myers this past summer at an outdoor amphitheater near me. I'd been looking forward to that show for months, but I made a mistake. I'm cheap, so I wasn't really interested in paying the ridiculous prices for beer in the venue. So of course I spent a little time...

    Accidentally Made Liquid Smoke this Weekend

    I had to improvise a stove pipe coupling at deer camp, and it was the only parts I had left. Had the windows wide open with fans running while I tried to burn it off. Felt fine until the effects hit me the next night. I felt so awful, I honestly didn't know if I'd make it through the night.

    Accidentally Made Liquid Smoke this Weekend

    It's galvanized, but that doesn't concern me at all, in this case. I've never run this smoker in over 30 degree temps, and the galvanized section of pipe is cool enough that I can wrap my hand around it and not be uncomfortable. It's still never been burned off. And that's coming from someone...

    Accidentally Made Liquid Smoke this Weekend

    Thanks for looking into it. I have a good idea on how to set something up. But I'm feeling it might be tough to recreate the conditions, anyway. It was low 30s, but really humid.

    Accidentally Made Liquid Smoke this Weekend

    Thanks. If you find it, please let me know. I'd like to learn more about that method. Especially since my wife just informed me that she refuses to eat anything I cook with this, since it basically rolled off a dirty tent ceiling and into a glass in the mud.

    Accidentally Made Liquid Smoke this Weekend

    I'll have to check that out and try it again on purpose. No reason to just let good smoke go to waste.

    Yesterday's Smoky Chili

    My other chili is a mix of ground beef and stew meat. But This added a really great texture and thickness.

    Yesterday's Smoky Chili

    I was definitely afraid I lost it for a bit. Turned out to be the best chili I've ever made!

    Yesterday's Smoky Chili

    We had my brother and his family over for a football day, so I made a couple pots of chili. The first one was a sweeter chunky style that I've been making for a few years, but I wanted to have a little fun and make up a new recipe with a smoky profile. I started with a 4lb chucky and rubbed it...

    Accidentally Made Liquid Smoke this Weekend

    So I set up my little harbor freight shed to use as my outdoor kitchen for the winter and decided to do a chuck roast over the weekend for some chili. I keep the front of it wide open and then pull open the cover at the rear peak for a little extra exhaust spot for the smoke. I noticed the roof...

    Smoked Chuck Roast / Meater + Temp vs Treager Temp

    What they said. I swear by my meater for IT. I've also found that it's been spot on for the estimated time left, once you get by the stall. I just use the ambient part of it to watch for temp spikes and drops when I'm away from the cooker.

    A Longhorn mod I haven't seen before

    Thanks for the input, guys. I'll probably cancel the idea. I have a small carport from harbor freight that I might get set up before I get too much more snow. Should solve this problem and then some.

    Here is a simplified, yet fairly accurate map of NY. You'll find me in the southeast corner of upstate in the Glens Falls/Lake George area.

    A Longhorn mod I haven't seen before

    I'm going to have to do more research. Because I know for a fact that's one of the main purposes of a double wall pipe for a woodstove. But on the other hand, maybe there's a reason why I can't find any examples of this for an offset.

    A Longhorn mod I haven't seen before

    Here's my thought process. If the cold air is hitting the stack and effecting the draft by cooling the smoke, then it's not really leaving the cooking chamber like it should be. So rather than the smoke just flowing over the meat, it's just sitting in the chamber. There is a very noticeable...

    Pop’s brine/cure question

    I've used Pop's brine as a starting point for a lot of things. I just add whatever other flavorings I want for what I'm curing. Maple syrup to turn a pork loin into Canadian bacon or your standard pickling spices for corned beef, for example. Stuff like that, I'll let soak for a week before...

    A Longhorn mod I haven't seen before

    So I'm cooking with a newer style Longhorn, and have done all the standard mods and am having really good success, but this cold weather is killing me. My last cook was in 40ish degree weather with some wind, so I knew I was going to burn a lot of wood to keep it hot enough. But one thing was...

    Thanks, everyone! I was able to do a search for my old posts, and found my old username. But our business name is going to be Bumppo's BBQ, so I think I'll keep this one. I'm looking forward to continuing to learn along my journey!

    My name is Nate and I'm from upstate NY. I was relatively active here a while back, but haven't been on in a couple years. I tried to sign into my old account, but I couldn't for the life of me remember my old username or even the email I used. Oh well, fresh start! I learned a lot in my time...
