    Attorney.....

    One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the road-side eating grass. Disturbed, he ordered his driver to stop and got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?" "We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat...

    That sounds pretty original.  Do it soon, so I can see the results.

    Tired of Turkey--Time for some smoked cheese!

    If I'm not eating the cheese plain or on top of a club or Ritz cracker, my favorite use of his cheese is for nachos.  It is especially delicious if I've got some leftover rib meat in the fridge to sprinkle on top.  That's hard to beat for a snack, appetizer, or even the main dish of a meal.

    Will it work for my first build?

    My thoughts are similar to the other posters.  I think the fire box will create too much heat in the vertical to cook at the same temps or in the same time as the horizontal.  That may not be all bad.  I have a preference for light smoke flavor on some items I prepare (smoked steak or maybe...

    Tired of Turkey--Time for some smoked cheese!

    Stonebriar was gracious enough to give me some of his superb smoked sharp cheddar last week.  Wanting something besides Thanksgiving leftovers, I decided to grate some up for a ham and cheese omelette for Sunday lunch.  When I sprinkled the last of the grated cheese on the top of the...

    Anyone need a suggestion for your Christmas List?

    Bacon Wallet.  I don't remember seeing one before.  Sorry if this is a repost.

    Ready For Grandmother's House w/ Q-view!

    I think my next pork-u-pine will probably be a stuffed variety.  I think I'll try chopping up some spinach leaves, parmesean or a similar hard cheese, and the hot link in the food processor.  After they are blended well (without being ground too fine), I'll insert the mixture into the cavity and...

    Ready For Grandmother's House w/ Q-view!

    Did the cheese stay inside the Pork-U-Pine, or did it try to run out through the incision??  I've never tried the chipotle cheddar.  How did it do in the fatty?

    Looks great!  One small correction.  The proper term for my dish is pork-u-pine.

    Vertical reverse flow

    A build like this defeats one of the purposes of the reverse build.  Most of your cooking surface is away from the plate providing the radiant heat.  You are really talking about a glorified UDS (the fire source is not in the bottom of the smoker being the only difference).  Saying that, in...

    Here's another one, alot of people & alot of food & some Q-view

    Nice job there, Mark.  I don't think I"m brave enough to make folks pay to eat my meat.  I'm always afraid they won't like it--of course, that's never happened.  It might though, if they were paying.  Have you tried smoking a potato casserole, yet?

    Whew!!!

    Thanks, Mark.  It really was a great day to smoke.  Lots of humidity made the ribs really puff up and taste great.  We had the ribs and loins picked up directly at the packing house (Guymon, OK, about 3 hours away).  They had a little flash freeze, but were never fully frozen.  I don't think you...

    Whew!!!

    How's this, Jerry?  Well, it's from '09, but everything looked just about like this--gray skies and all.  It was Stonebriar's fault.   He was supposed to take pictures, but all he did was walk around making people take tastes of his "Iron Will" rub.  He did do his share in knocking a dent in...

    Sorry, fellas.   I'll try to do better next time.

    Whew!!!

    Sorry, no Q-View for this one.  But the pictures would have looked the same as last year's (with one exception).  I brought the camera with the best intentions, but was too busy to ever get it out of the case. Today was the day for our annual customer appreciation party held each year at our...

    My First Attempt at 3-2-1 Spare Ribs w/ Q-view!

    Sugar-based products have a tendency to caramelize early and (perhaps) turn a very deep, dark (almost black some would say) brown before cooking is completed.  If nobody got sick, and you weren't cooking for a comp, don't worry about it.  BTW, Disney wants to speak to you about your "Iron Will"...

    My First Attempt at 3-2-1 Spare Ribs w/ Q-view!

    Happy Birthday.  Maybe you should open up a little rib joint.  Did you spritz them with Yoshida's? You didn't deliver any samples for me to certify.

    smoked 30lbs of cheese for christmas gifts

    I happen to be certified in "Smoked Cheese Quality Control" if you need someone to inspect and certify your gifts as being acceptable for human consumption.   I only need about 30 lbs. for the certification process to be completed. Contact me at Dirt Guy dot com.
