    Brisket Alert

    I suppose I should get a sams club card... I spent an hour yesterday trying to find a packer at a decent price. Couldn't find one in the Detroit area for under $3.40/lb, far too expensive. I need to drive into the city and pick one up at my favorite processor... Brisket has been so expensive...

    Pork meet smoke, Smoke meet pork. Play nice kids. Qview!

    I was thinking of doing something like that. One of my ideas was to pull the butt after I foil it and throw it in the oven to finish, that way I have room in the smoker for the corn, poblano's and chicken, in which case I'll turn the heat up to 300 in the smoker. I'm worried that if I try to...

    I'm going to be documenting my memorial day smoke here as I go. Starting with a pork butt that I brined for 12 hours and then let rest for about 6 and gave it a good rub with my butt rub at about 10 pm last night. I put a fan on it to dry the surface out while the smoker heats up, but it...

    2lb brisket quicky

    I know that a 2lb trimmed down supermarket brisket is a bad idea, but I found one in the freezer on friday. I have no idea where it came from, but I'm craving some Q and dont have time for a full blown smoke. I gave it a good rub with cayenne, paprika, garlic and onion powders and a bit of...

    GOSM Help

    I was at Lowe's yesterday and saw they had a variety of replacement ignitors/strikers available. I think they started around $12. For what its worth I got a $5 refillable butane bbq lighter with a metal neck that works great.

    Canadian Bacon Trifecta (w/ lots of Qview)!

    I had been discussing doing some canadian bacon with my friend Paul from B. Nektar Meadery and smoking it over some oak cubes that they had used in mead making. So about two weeks ago I picked up 20lb of pork loin, cleaned and cut it into four 5lb pieces. I put it into my usual CB cure of TQ...
