    Rival K.C. Smoker

    I noticed my chips dont burn as well either. On my ribs they burnt up pretty well but I used it the other day and only had it running for about 2 hours and there was still alot of unburnt chips left. I did this with dry unsoaked chips. Usually instead of soaking them I put them in a bowl and add...

    Rival K.C. Smoker

    I purchased this unit for $30.00 at Wal Mart as well. I have made some great spare ribs using the 3-2-1 method. I have also made some good fatties with it. For the money you can not go wrong with it. Clean-up is not all that hard as the whole inner pan comes out of this unit. This is my first...

    Pork ribs French cut question

    Frenched Bone-in pork loins are all for apperance. There are really no benefits to this. Actually you are paying more because of the added weight of the bones. Do as Fritz said and they should turn out great. I second the chef hats.

    Valparaiso/Dunes BBQ

    Kelseys Steakhouse has amazing food. I would also reccomend Gauchos Brazillian Steakhouse. They do the whole thing with the different meats on the long skewers and all. That whole gig you olan on doing at the dunes sounds like a pretty good idea. Go for it man. Like it was said earlier there is...

    Question about "unbrining" a processed bird

    They probably have about 10% sodium added in the solution. This is common on previously frozen birds. With no preservatives added the fresh shelf life would only be about a week on a whole bird (WOG). Just use a little less potent brine or dont use any sodium in your brine and you should be...

    Fatty Recipes

    I am going to make my first this weekend. I am not a big vegetable eater so I was thinking something like this. Bob Evans Zesty Sausage filled with Velveeta cheese, some ham cubes along with some potato cubes wrapped in bacon. It sounds like a good breakfast dish. mmmm

    hi from oz + a major problem ???

    Have you thought about contacting the mfgr and asking if they have a conversion for your unit? If they dont, do a search on google and see what you come up with on converting a propane grill to natural gas. Most likely it will involve drilling your burner holes 1/16 bigger along with modding...

    New smoker from Indiana

    Hey all. I purchased a Rival Smoker from Wal Mart about 1 week ago and have smoked twice. I know its not the best but the $30.00 price tag was to good to pass up. I will eventually get a different smoker but it is serving me just fine now. It has put out some good pulled pork and spare ribs...

    Dew The Dew!!!

    I thought last night was an exciting race. I had a friend over and we watched the race and smoked some ribs. I started them around 2 and they were finished right after lap 20. They were excellent. Im glad to see Jr win right out the gate. He needed that. You can throw that one in Teresa's face.

    Help on pork tenderloin

    FYI a tenderloin is different than a pork loin. People generally get those two confused. I dont know if you knew that or not.
