    Bark??? can't seem to get it

    I was having trouble getting a good bark on my stick burner and i changed two things that helped majorly: 1) Use an elaborate amount of rub. I wasn't using nearly enough 2) Cook at higher temp. I never cook below 275 now. These two things helped me greatly.

    Stuffed Roma Tomatoes

    These are always a hit at any outdoor gathering I take them to! A dozen Roma tomatoes. Cut in half and scrape out the insides leaving just the shell. Mix 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese, 1 cup hellmans mayo, and then add either crunched up bacon or bacon bits, about half a cup. Stuff the...

    Finally got the bark I've been searching for

     Decided to fix a Butt yesterday to eat on this weekend. It was a medium sized bone-in butt from my local grocery store. I opened her up and rinsed her off really well and rubbed her down with a good coat of yellow mustard.  Made up my own rub combo of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder...

    Seared Cowboy Steak

    Picked up a couple of cut cowboy steaks at the local meat dept the other day. Didn't realize these were bone in ribeyes until the other day. Was watching the texas episode of bbq pitmasters where they had to cook the vegas steak as part of their entry. I got to thinking, i have never eaten...

    Can't decide on a budget offset smoker , Char-Griller smokin pro vs. Chair Broil Deluxe Gourmet, vs

    Love my Ok Joe Longhorn. Sealed all the cracks with high temp sealant for $8. Lined the doors with wood stove gasket for $14. Lowered the exaust to grate level with a 3" elbow for $3. Cooks as good as a $900 unit.

    Stupid Me

    Got an Oklahoma Joe Longhorn pit smoker a couple of weeks ago and sealed it up real nice, lowered the smoke stack, and seasoned it real good. First cook was ok but not the best. Three cooks after i still struggled to keep temp above 215 or so. I was running exaust and intake wide open but just...

    Peach tree wood?

    Should you debark all of the wood you burn? Will bark cause bitterness, even if the wood is seasoned?

    New Smoker

     My exhaust was wide open during the entire duration of the cook. I think the problem was that my wood is still too green. It has sit outside for 2 years after being split but it has been such a wet climate around here that I think it's still not dried properly.  I bought a bag of Hickory...

    New Smoker

     Hit $900 on a video lottery machine last Monday so I decided to spend part of it on a new smoker. Bought the Oklahoma Joe Longhorn model at Walmart for $429. Stopped by my local hardware store and got a 3 inch elbow to lower the exhaust to grate level. Bought some high temp sealant to seal all...

    Oklahoma Joe Longhorn

    Your right. It was the highland model instead of the Longhorn. It still looked like a pretty decent unit for less than $300.

    They have this offset smoker at my local Walmart for $268. Is this a deal I should jump on ASAP?

    Local Dollar General Store

    Went in to grab some paper plates and a case of Dr. Pepper and couldn't believe what I saw in the corner. A pile of wood splits, dried out and seasoned, 8 to a sack of seasoned Hickory, Oak, and Pecan Wood for $4.50 each. AT THE DOLLAR STORE. Brilliant!

    Upgrading!

     Well I joined SMF about 2 years ago. I smoked my first slab of ribs using indirect heat and smoke on a standard gas grill. After a few months I broke down and bought me a Brinkman 2 Door cabinet style charcoal smoker. I used the darn bottom out of that thing. I learned to smoke ribs, butts...

    St. Louis Style Ribs Q-VIEW

     Came across a rack of St. Louis Style on sale at Food Lion for $11. Decided to try something different so I wanted to smoke these ribs by using the indirect method with lump charcoal on my old fashioned charcoal grill for a change. OH. MY. GOODNESS. did this ever turn out awesome. Rubbed them...
