    The dog ate my homework

    Once about 5 years ago I put a frozen pepperoni pizza on the kitchen counter and started preheating the oven. While the oven was heating I went downstairs to get the mail. When I returned I had a cheese pizza and my cat was licking his chops. Every single pepperoni was missing!

    Canadian Bacon Qview

    So some of my posts got eaten by the mysterious database monster (a cousin to the beast that always ate my homework as a child?) so I have decided to repost a couple Qviews... I'll start with a Canadian Bacon I did in November. I kept drooling over the pics in ChefBoy's CB post and decided to...

    Oak Cubes from Wine Aging

    So a good friend of mine owns a winery. We were discussing smoking recently and he mentioned that he has a box of Oak Cubes that were used to Oak age a mead. In a nutshell, they soaked in a bourbon barrel filled with honey wine for a few months. They have been dried and have been sitting in a...

    Gorgonzola sauce.

    combined with the onions and the cream the parmesian acts as a great thickener. When you add the parmesian the sauce with start to thicken right away so watch it and keep stirring. I use a heat resistant silicone spatula and just keep scraping the sides as I go. Instead of the gorgonzola it...

    Is There Anything Unwise about This?

    yeah, the oil can go rancid. Why not just use a spray oil on the grill before each use?

    Chuck Roast (with q view)

    Well, I was having trouble holding 250 and it spent most of its time at 200. After 5 hours, it still wasnt all that close to being done so I cranked it up to 300 for the last hour and finished it off. Turned out perfect for slicing.

    The mushrooms were incredible! I think I'm going to put a drip pan of mushrooms and onions under everything I smoke.

    Chuck Roast (with q view)

    I tied it up because I had stuck all these garlic cloves in it and didn't want them to fall out. It turned out quite well I should have cut the potato's smaller though, they weren't done in the middle.

    Chuck Roast (with q view)

    So far so good. It's been on the smoke for about 4 hours now. Anyone have any idea how long a 3.5lb roast will take at 200?

    Chuck Roast (with q view)

    So after reading a couple threads here about smoking a standing rib roast, I decided I had to do one of my own. Last time I was at Eastern Market, I went to Ronnie's Meats and got a nice 5# rib roast. I wasnt going to have time to cook it that weekend so I wrapped it and put it in the...

    I bought the GOSM at Walmart about a month ago. I like it. I suppose the metal could be a little thicker, but I dont have any complaints with it.

    Brisket dry rub question

    When I did my first smoke, I got a 5lb brisket from a local grocery store, it came in a cryovak pack so I blotted it somewhat dry before putting the dry rub on it. I thoroughly covered it with rub, worked it in well and then put it in an aluminum roasting pan in the fridge for the night...

    Motor City Smoker

    Thats the plan... I spent the day on a lawn chair, with a beer and a cigar and did nothing but occasionally changed the chips and mopped the meat... This was a Saturday well spent.
