    If you have a butcher you buy your belly's from you can always ask them if they can/will slice the bacon for you. Mine always does and I always just leave the guys some behind as a thank you.

    Okay guys lighter fluid or not

    I had forgotten this, but my grandfather used to use gasoline to light his grills. He had 2 little hibachi grills which he used to load with Kingsford, douse in gasoline, and then stand back and flip a match at them. They would go up with a great big whoosh and fireball. It's a wonder he...

    Okay guys lighter fluid or not

    At least the guy had a sense of humor about it. Was a little singed and not too badly hurt. Sounds like it was more pride that was hurt then his body.

    1st attempt - Chicken Fattie

    Looking great, especially for a first attempt. I'm sure we'll be seeing you upgrade your rig and have a monster brisket on there soon enough.

    Charcoal chimney all the way. I understand that the petrol burns off and if the coals are ashed over your good, still don't like the idea of the chemicals.

    My butcher should start a mail order business on pork bellies. He has them in for me in 2 days, butchered whatever way I ask for them.

    Got some cheese I'm doing as well. I've got the smoker sitting around 70 degrees with a fair bit of smoke from apple and hickory. Will send finished pictures later.

    Another set of Bacon - I'm Hooked (with QView)

    Got a late start due to a business obligation this morning (out showing houses for my 2nd job - Real Estate). Right now playing around with getting some smoke to push through the SNP. Got a 1/2 dozen coals on the grate with a small tin of apple dust. Once I get that rolling a bit will get the...

    It's Friday - What's Cookin'?

    Don't you have a good butcher near you? I love my butcher. Koellner's out of Rockville Centre, NY. Wonderful guys in there. Get me just about anything I ask for. Nothing is enhanced. My sister-in-law even got me a gift certificate for them for my Bday recently. This weekend I've got...

    Ahhh I See. Must be made of oil instead of milk, at least I would imagine. Thank you for the information.
