    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler - Mods

    I too use the firebox plate for a tuning plate, works really well. Built a 16x36 shelf for the front, attached to the tiny metal shelf from underneath. Added lavalock gasket to both lids and a charcoal/wood basket. Very well pleased with the the Wrangler, hard to beat for the $$$.

    BBQ pitmasters

    I watch often, like Stump the best but I've never seen him win anything. He must be too short to see what's happening in the smoker. Myron is getting paid to be the resident smart a**.

    How much to charge for pulled pork

    Our group, Christian Outdoor Ministries, gets $30 for a butt. When butts were over $2.00 a pound, we went to $35. We have +200 @$1.25 a pound we are smoking this weekend. If we buy more this week, they are $1.42. I plan to take some pictures of this smoke-a-thon and will try to post then.

    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler Smoker Review

    Finally replaced my CharGriller offset and after researching for a couple of weeks, decided on the Wrangler. I started by calling the closest Academy store 70 miles away. My call was auto transferred 3 times before ending up at Customer Service. I gave the associate the item # and after several...

    Walmart / Win dixie Real butts?

    Smithfield sold out to a Chinese company a year or so ago. I had bought their bacon for years but noticed a definate change after they sold out. The amount of water that cooked out of the bacon was ridiculous. Seems these days you have to read labels closely. Was in Kroger yesterday and fresh...

Next day, wash in warm water with brush, no soap. After each use, wash with hot water and brush, recoat lightly with bacon grease. Has served...

    Last 2 I bought were $2.19 at Wally World. They were $1.78 a couple of weeks ago. All meat prices are high and getting higher. Beef is ridiculous.

    cold smoking with my landsman electric smoker

    I ordered one of the scratch and dent deals with a sack of pecan pellets, should be here tomorrow.That price was too good to pass up. I've always used hickory pieces from a local handle factory but now will be able to cold smoke some cheese.

    At home meat/game processing

    I just enjoy doing it myself, guess its the pioneer spirit but they didn't have the stuff we do. Also, never was sure I got all MY meat back from the processor. First for me was a dvd on butchering deer just to make sure I didn't waste any. But I am anal about trimming silverskin. Wore out 2...

    Reverse Sear some Sausage With Corn Cob Smoke

    I got a bag from TSC a while back and made tennis ball sized chuncks by wetting and just squeezing most of the water out. Let 'em dry and just add to the charcoal or stick smoker as needed. Great flavor.

    The Old Ways

    I'm a 1949 model with high mileage. I was fortunate to be born in South Alabama to parents who had little. Mama and Daddy were raised in tough times. The only things they bought were salt and sugar, raised or grew the rest. Corn went to the mill to be ground into flour, meal, and grits. Fresh...

    Pulling membrane off ribs?

    Paper towel, you can usually get a small piece started with you finger. Pinch with the paper towel and pull, it should come off in one piece unless its a mastodon rib.

    Smoked Stuffed Deer Tenderloin

    I'd guess about half done. Microwave about a minute will remove a lot of the moisture. No boiling.

    45lbs of ground venison..what to do?

    Google venison recipes and you'll get every conceivable way to use it. My favorites are chili, spaghetti sauce, and meat loaf. If you've never tried smoked meat loaf, you're missing something good. I use a 50/50 mix with ground chuck.

    I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE......

    Use your favorite rub and put it on heavy. Smoke 6 hours @ 250. Take off and double wrap in hd foil, back on the smoker for 6 more hours. This is how a competition bbqer does it. Fall apart tender and juicy.
