    Shakshouka with smoked merguez meatballs

    Decided to try something out of the ordinary and form some left over loose merguez sausage into meatballs, smoked with hickory. Very pleased - the smoking worked really well with the merguez spices. Served with shakshouka, and homemade harissa and yogurt sauce.

    Red wine braised venison stew

    Thanks, all! Definitely would have been more appropriate in winter - not on a 93* day. a little gamier than I wanted, but it was shot in the wild by my father in law, so beggars can't be choosers

    Smoked gouda mac n cheese

    Gouda seems like something people either really like or don't like at all. I have now used this recipe several times and find that the cheeses can be very versatile. A 3 cheese option with 6 ounces each of cheddar, gruyere and fontina makes for a pretty traditional mac,or if you have a favorite...

    Smoked gouda mac n cheese

    I'm sure this isn't revolutionary to many of you, but as a new smoker owner,this was a game changer for me: Smoked gouda mac n cheese: 1 pound medium shell pasta (or other pasta of choice) 12 ounces high quality grated gouda 6 ounces high quality grated white cheddar 4 tablespoons butter 4...

    Smoking honey

    I don't think the flavor from smoking would carry over during fermentation. Oaking is a known way to impart that flavor, but is distinctly different than actual smoking. I have never smoked a mead, but I have smoked cocktails. If budget isn't an issue,you can get a mixologists smoking gun to...

    Cuban sandwich

    Cuban sandwiches are one of my all-time favorites. The best one i ever had was at a run down hole-in-the-wall in Brooklyn about 10 years ago - have never been able to find an equal since, and i have looked and tried to replicate it myself. Though not elegant, they are deceptively difficult to...

    Newbie here w/ basic bacon question

    smoked the slab of bacon this weekend - turned out quite well! Soaked for 30 minutes after washing off the cure, but was too salty for me, as others mentioned above. will soak for a full hour next time. Reserved half of it for lardons

    Advice on smoking cornish game hens?

    Well, gave it a whirl, and it turned out pretty good! 95% happy with the end product - need to work on getting a crispier skin next time, but worked out OK since it was served in Poulet Chasseur. brined for 4 hours, air dried overnight in the fridge, then oiled and coated with a homemade...

    Advice on smoking cornish game hens?

    Planning to smoke a couple game hens this weekend. Wanted to go over my plan of attack and see if anyone had any advice? never smoked poultry or cooked cornish hens before I've read differing opinions on whether or not brining is warranted. If so, is there a good standard recipe for a brine i...

    Newbie here w/ basic bacon question

    yeah, i was concerned about the impreciseness of it too, but his book came highly recommended - very adamant about not overthinking things. Not a single recipe i came across in books instructed to mix the cure based on meat weight, just as ratios relative no one another.

    Newbie here w/ basic bacon question

    Wife bought me a Masterbuilt Adventure Series Electric smoker for Xmas. I plan to christen my new smoker with an attempt at a basic Bacon recipe. I bought a copy of Ruhlman's "Charcuterie" book as a guide since it seems he's pretty well-respected. His recipe was for a large batch for...
