    1st smoke. Cheddar, Cheddar W/Ground Pepper

    Cold smoking is generally considered 100 degrees tops but I've never tried it before. Going to try it this weekend I think. Got some bacon going on I'll just segregate part of the grill for cheese.

    Your first Meat affair?

    I tried to make beef jerky on a Brinkmann bullet smoker. Turned the been into little charcoal strips. Dumped the batch and didn't go back to smoking for 10 years.

    How and why did you first start smoking meats?

    Adam's Center, NY, Dmn you're practically Canadian! I'm from downstate NY (long Island). Coming from a predominately Italian family I grew up in the kitchen coming. I learned to make sauce (Gravy, Ragu, whatever your family calls it) early on along with the meatballs that went with it. I...

    belly bacon question

    I just finished my first batch, and I'm onto my second batch. The first batch I sealed up in 2.5 gallon Ziplock bags and just flipped 1x per day. Didn't drain them. They came out great. Doing the same this time. I've seen plenty where people drain them but only seen this when people are...

    BBQ Spots Shutting Down

    Around here we are getting more and more places opening up, though most of them don't really smoke due to either local ordinances prohibiting it or complaints from the neighbors which has shut down more than one place.

    Que and Cruz Video Finalized

    Hi Dude, Didn't know you did video. We used 4 Panasonic cameras, an HGX and HVX 200 shooting onto P2 cards, and a couple of the consumer model handheld units, a boom, two wireless mic's, and a small portable mixer to keep it all together, at least when we had two cam's in the same location...

    Don't know much about the splitjack. At a guess they are about the same. This is VERY heavy duty. Feel like I could caulk my tub with it. Well not quite but pretty close. Cambro is something I do want, though my wife is out of work 1 year as of today so it's not coming so quick. Hopefully...

    Que and Cruz Video Finalized

    Thank you guys! Yeah it was a blast. The teams were great. We had 4 of us on the production crew who drove out and back (about 9-10 hours each way). Bill Small who puts on the benefit every year, and who's family runs the campground it is held at, could not have been more gracious and...
