    Charcoal preferences?

    I've used nothing but Kingsford briqs for decades. But I'm changing to RO. Thanks for the recommendation. But I really like these. This 4 lb bag was about $5-$6 so it ain't cheap

    Freezing Brined and Seasoned Chicken

    Hawg, it's Greer's Cash Saver. They have a couple of dozen stores in Alabama and some in Mississippi and Florida. I make groceries at the store in Poplarville, MS. Thanks Ray, and thank you for your service. My son did 6 yrs in the Navy, 2 deployments to the Persian Gulf. My rub is low in salt...

    Freezing Brined and Seasoned Chicken

    Oh yea, they're good; bred, hatched, raised, and processed in the USA. I get 13 or 14 qtrs in a 10 lb bag, so there a nice size. Every once in a while I'll get a thigh with 2 legs though. :emoji_wink:

    Freezing Brined and Seasoned Chicken

    That's a good idea too. Do you let it marinade for a few hours/overnight before freezing?

    Freezing Brined and Seasoned Chicken

    Big Labor Day sale on chicken qtrs this weekend, 45 cents/lb. I was thinking of buying 2 bags / 20 lbs / about 25 - 28 qtrs. I want to brine all of them for 2 hrs, pat dry and season, then freeze them - 7 or 8 per bag. I'll use them all between now and Thanksgiving in several different dishes...

    It's not Smoked and it"s not BBQ but it"s Dang Good

    Growing up in SE La I can appreciate the work that went into catching that hamper of crabs. Down here we boil em in crab boil. I've never eaten steamers but they do look delicious, and the left over meat, I am so jealous.

    Hang’em High Chicken

    I would have to say that's ingenious. Quick, get a patent. I've seen crazier things go on sale as "add ons" in the past. You may think me crazy! lol But just imagine your mod in all S.S. and in different sizes to fit currently available barrel smokers on the market. I'd buy one in a...

    Smokin in the Rain

    No worries, didn't take it the wrong way at all. That comment about "tasting better than they looked" came from a family member and I had to agree with them. lol

    Smokin in the Rain

    Thanks. I stayed close to the smoker the whole time because the umbrella was bungeed down to the tank. I wouldn't recommend this unless you plan on staying close to the rig during the entire smoking time. Too many ugly things can happen if a gust of wind blows that umbrella over taking the tank...

    Smokin in the Rain

    I put those 3 breasts on the top rack with the pieces of sausage. I watched I.T. on those closely and removed at 160. When I stuck the therm. in plenty clear juice came flowing out the hole. Me and most of the family like the leg qtrs. but the white meat eaters in the family said they were...

    Smokin in the Rain

    That's just a big beach umbrella, tank is in a milk crate. Umbrella pole fits nicely into either corner of crate closest to smoker. It was big enough to keep all but the legs from wet, kept me dry while adding wood, ect.

    Bug Invation

    You may be able to find a cover that will fit over your Char-Griller, one that drops all around to ground level. I've seen generic covers in various sizes at Home Depot, Amazon may have some. Granted you may not find an exact fit, it might help.

    That's funny. Hadn't thought about that but, considering the circumstances, I stand by my Blue Belle; licked or not!!!

    Just for $hits and giggles

    5 lbs of boiled crawfish as an appetizer, a cup of turtle soup, a bowl of chicken/andouille gumbo, fried red fish, and for dessert a big slice of hot pecan pie with a tall glass of ice cold milk and a big scoop of Blue Belle Homemade Vanilla ice cream on the side.

    QUICK QUESTION

    Thanks Richie I'll take them out of the brine in 30 min., pat dry, then put on some dry rub. Should I cover container or leave the lid off? And what would the difference be after they are smoked? And most of all, Thank you for your service! Mike
