    Cupcake tin chicken thighs-qview

    Interesting experiment and good to know. I wonder if you poked a hole in the bottom of each of the muffin slots if the smoke flavor would increase?

    Valentines Weekend - Whats on the menu?

    Jim, I always get depressed at the end of football season because of this month-long drought until the NCAA tourney with no sports - I'm not an NBA fan - but this year we have the Olympics just in time!! I love watching the Olympics - it's a bunch of sports we don't hear a lot about most of the...

    Some Walmart facts i found interesting

    What's wrong with a guy EARNING a trip to Hawaii for all the hard work he puts into running a business? Don't forget, he also has to lease or pay a mortgage on his property, pay his utilities, licenses, taxes, pay his employees and supply them with benefits and pay a higher cost to all of his...

    Do you wash your butt? and other meats?

    Just like most others who responded, I thoroughly rinse anything that's been in cryo. But, I have on occasion rinsed meat out of the regular section - especially poultry and pork. Not usually beef. Good to know about the pork though.

    Grilled London Broil and Baby Reds

    Those London broils look awesome!! Interesting that you did not get it over 120. I don't think I've ever used my probe with one on a grill, but I like mine blood rare. I'll have to watch temp vs. look feel next time. I have smoked London broils and they're great!!! Don't overcook it or it will...

    Chipotle Chuckie Wonton Nachos!

    I love that chipotle mojo, but I've never smoked anything marinaded with it. How did it hold up to the smoke? Great looking platter!

    Tony Roma's Ribs on Unwrapped

    I will second your notion about Rendezvous. I even use their rub on my own ribs - it's so good. That place is easily the best dine-out BBQ place I've ever been. You can even sit there and watch them work the smokers. And the atmosphere is great. I never made it to Neely's but certainly will try...

    St Louis Style Ribs - What to do with the extra meat??

    I trim and usually save the extra bits for stew meat.

    For poultry (have used on both chicken and turkey) -2 cloves of garlic -half a shallot or some onion powder -EV olive oil -juice from half a lemon -a few dashes of Crystal hot sauce (or whatever brand you prefer) Just blend it all together until the garlic is super small it's almost liquified...

    Dill Jerky batch 2 and other flavors w/qview

    Great to know that the sweet was pleasing. I've always wondered about those recipes with the sweeter seasonings, but have yet to try one that's similar. I might have to now...great job on the jerky.

    2nd Try at Jerky

    Can't tell you for sure what you're doing wrong, because I've never used that jerky kit and don't know your smoker. First question, did you calibrate your thermometers to make sure you're not really at more than 180* inside the smoker? I usually dry my jerky at 140* or below - takes longer, but...

    Who's Smoking for Christmas?

    Wow...lots of prime ribs. Not smoking anything here, although I've had beef jerky going past two days for gifts. We'll be cooking two ducks in the oven (I really want to smoke one, but ain't happenin') on Xmas Eve and in-laws making a beef tenderloin on Xmas.

    Pig Peckers, Fattie and lots of snow

    I never thought I'd say this Jim, but I'd love to have one of your peckers in my mouth right now. Nice job.

    Pickled Eggs

    Interesting...we just made a batch this morning, but used beets and the more traditional style. I like the green egg effect and I really love using something with heat like pepperoncinis.

    Glass top range cleaning question....

    Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - it's somewhat abrasive, which helps it lift stuff off, but it's not so abrasive that it will scratch the top. My wife uses the Magic Eraser and a citrus-based cleaner and it works every time.

    Persimmon?

    Wow, that's interesting, we have a load of persimmon groves in this neck of the woods and I've never thought about using it. I'll have to ask one of the growers about it and see if I can get my hands on some.

    It's Friday - What's cookin'

    They turn out great! I don't go too heavy on the smoke, but give them a nice flavoring for about 45 mins. then sear them on the grill. My wife just won't want them because she can only stand sooo much smoked food in a week and I have a feeling she has already had her fill this week - but I have...
