    Poor mans burnt ends.....Questions

    I've done it both ways, and prefer cubed first, for more surface area to bark up. Only problem with pre-cubed is that by the time it's done, there's only half as much meat as we started with. People can't keep their paws out of the cookie jar.

    Along the lines of the best western thread. What's your 3 favorite military movies?

    Can't believe Tora Tora Tora only got one vote. Dirty Dozen's another I can watch over and over, and while not full of military action, I liked "Mrs. Miniver" with Greer Garson. Good portrayal of life in Britain at the beginning of World War II.

    Smoker as turkey warmer?

    Chris, you were right. Finishing the turkey was probably easier than keeping it warm. Went from 125 to finished in three plus hours and turned out well. The star, however, was the gravy. Never had turkey gravy made with smoked drippings before. One elderly aunt ordered "Bring me some bread...

    Smoker as turkey warmer?

    There was debate as to where to probe the bird. Had three of the womenfolk standing there, cc door open, letting all the heat out, poking the bird in every imaginable place. I had my hunting vest and shotgun handy, so I put the vest on, grabbed the gun, and walked off toward the woods without...

    Smoker as turkey warmer?

    That's funny Ray, cuz the green bean casserole is my wife's yearly contribution, and I can't stand the stuff. Turkey's coming good, and a fresh, dry rubbed backstrap just snuck it's way into the smoker, in case the bird isn't up to snuff. Happy Thanksgiving all!

    Smoker as turkey warmer?

    Change of plans. This has turned into a shitshow. They had the probe in the wrong part of the bird. Turns out it was only at 125, but they kicked it out of the oven to make sides. So now I am finishing on the smoker.....with a deadline. I hate deadlines.

    Smoker as turkey warmer?

    Good morning to both the thankful and the not so much....long story short: sister-in-law's oven quit last night. Thanksgiving is now at our place. Turkey cooked in our oven is now at 163. I'm charged with keeping it warm until 1. Smoker was suggested, which I can do. Stick burner is...

    Mega Snowstorm

    A friend lives in Hamburg, where he reports just over 60 inches....so far. Spent the last two days keeping the furnace direct vent cleared out after it got buried and alarmed out. Meanwhile, the Tug gets no press, but the same amount of snow. Bill, is deer season over in the Nortern Zone...

    Mega Snowstorm

    The best part of the first lake effect event in The Tug each year is the cub reporters who get sent up there from Syracuse tv stations. Many have never seen feet of snow, and seem scared &%÷*less. The locals? "Yep, still delivering pizzas, just have to drive a little slower", or "four feet...

    Just another jalapeño appetizer

    Just discovered the Black Forest bacon for Sunday's ABTs. Don't think it effected flavor, but it made wrapping the peppers a treat. I never found the proper thickness, or bacon that stayed solid during the wrap until now......it's the little things in life!

    Keep the music playing... What/Who Was Your First Concert ?

    Damn, some of you are older than I thought. Mine was The Cars in '81 or so, followed by Journey in the Carrier Dome. I've still got ticket stubs to 80 plus concerts since then. Today....couldn't drag me to see Bruce, Willie, or any other favorites if there are more than fifty seats in the...

    Greatest Song Ever Recorded

    I wouldn't call it the best song ever written, but the one that gets me every time I hear it is Taps.

    Hello from Central PA

    Welcome from Central New York. Your neighbor, PC farmer, has a long history of great contributions here. Look up his posts. The other thing I would recommend to newbies is search the recipe for Dutch's wicked beans. You can tweak it but you can't beat it. You'll look like a side master first...

    Beef Ribs and a Teaser!

    Don't have my readers handy....who got spritzed or soused with the Guiness? They look great. Might be Sunday's smoke here while we do some getting ready for winter activities.

    Offset build...

    Interesting comments all around. As for the top load fb, I did that on mine, and a removable grate, as mentioned. Thought I'd do a few burgers or dogs while smoking in the cc. Problem was, as soon as you flip that lid, you're long smoke is kaput. Other problem was, rain got in, and the...

    Range hood over smoker?

    Thanks guys. Chopsaw, I gave your idea a whirl with a greenhouse fan in the gabled end and just just a passive tube above the smoker. Using Bill's idea of letting the pavillion smoke up, running it for a few minutes, and shutting it off, it seemed to work. Nothing's finalized, and no meat was...

    Chopsaw, do you recall a brand name? Sounds like what I need.

    Range hood over smoker?

    Cool shed. I would vent out the end like you are, but I've got to get the smoke piped through the ceiling first. Yes, it's a home made patio size rf stick burner.
