    Simple 2 probe therm for mom??????

    Agree with JckDnls07 in recommending the Smoke. Built like a tank, not cheap plastic. I've been using mine 2-3 years and have never replaced the batteries. While it's a bit more complicated than some 2-probe thermometers, your mom will LOVE the wireless feature. If it's cold outside, hot...

    First attempt at Canadian bacon - YES!

    Started with a 4# pork loin and decided I wanted to try Canadian bacon. Found some really good posts by Bear and others. Decided I wanted to use Bear's instructions, but couldn't find Morton's Tender Quick locally. Ordered it from Amazon and had it in about two days. Here's what the loin looked...

    Need some quick short rib help

    Marinated the Korean-cut ribs overnight with a recipe I found here. Grilled them over hot coals late this afternoon, about 4-5 minutes on each side. I put the lid on the water smoker and once the fat started rendering the smoke was really rolling. I was gonna do some white rice and nice stir fry...

    Need some quick short rib help

    Thanks for the help, guys. Now that I know what to call them, I was able to find numerous threads explaining exactly what I have and how to cook them. Instead of smoking, I've decided to go the Korean route and even now have the ribs marinating. I don't do SV yet, so I'll fire up the charcoal...

    Need some quick short rib help

    Went to Sam's Club today and brought home some "interesting" short ribs. Didn't realize until I got home that instead of cutting this meat with (same direction as) the rib, they cut them across the bones, about 1/2" thick. Couple of questions: 1) In all the beef rib photos I've seen on...

    Venison

    I'm not doing SV yet, but I understand the concept. If it keeps you from overcooking and drying out venison, then it's gotta be a step forward. Your plate looks wonderful.

    So this showed up today unexpectedly...

    Brisket makes me think of Texas, so I tend to go with mesquite. Some might find it a little strong, but it works for me.

    There Is A Santa Claus ~ And His Sleigh Is Full Of Pork Belly

    I'm learning Canadian Bacon, but as soon as I have a handle on that, I'm going in search of a local source for pork bellies. Can someone point me to a good step-by-step thread on curing and smoking bellies? Biggest problem I see is that my electric "box smoker" only has three racks. Can I hold...

    Porterhouse Steak: Go Big? Stay Home? (W / Pics)

    I can't think of much to say about the superb steak that hasn't been said, Robert. I'm tempted to applaud you with a "Well done," but that would just be wrong! I've been making "sun-dried" tomatoes in my dehydrator for several years. If you start with dried tomatoes, can you share how you...

    Homemade low sodium bacon?

    One of my best and longest friends has some kidney/liver damage from eating too much "Ranger candy" in his 20+ years in the Army. He's now on an extremely low sodium diet. I think one strip of bacon probably has 3 days worth of sodium for him. Anyway, I got to wondering if anyone has figured out...

    Watch Your Chicken!

    One Eyed Jack is right about snakes. Eight to 10 years ago I was with a group shooting prairie dogs in South Dakota. One day, we also killed two prairie rattlers, a 4-footer and a 5-footer. I beheaded, skinned and cleaned both in preparation for breading and frying them for dinner. The snake...

    ​Good plan, CB, I'll remember that one.

    Hello from Louisville, KY

    I kind of got the cart before the horse and posted a question to the Beef forum before introducing myself here. Could be that's because I've been reading posts for years and years, just had never posted. ​I've been smoking for at least 30 years. I grew up in a Western Kentucky family that did...

    Is 14 hours long for brisket?

    I've smoked a few briskets the past 4-5 years, but this one has me a little puzzled. Started with a 6 1/2 pound flat from Sam's. I rubbed it and refrigerated overnight. Set it out for an hour or so the next morning as I got the smoker up to temp. Put the meat on at 9 a.m. and pretty well...
