    Liquid smoke

    I'll let you all in on a secret of mine about Colgan's Liquid Smoke... I use it. But what's different, after I finish the soap from those foaming soap dispensers, I rinse out all the soap and get it really clean. Pretty easy, since it had nothing but soap in it, right? :) Then I pour a couple...

    Diabetes and smoking

    I think that's what he gets. Ms Locomotive is an Atkins gal and a flight attendant, and on trips to Mumbai, would have the naan bread because it was good - but in reasonable quantities, not going to derail her from her diet. They (folks in India) cook with a lot of turmeric and cumin in addition...

    Taters

    Yes. Just like baking in the oven, poke them with a fork and roll them in EVOO, then put steak seasoning or salt and pepper on them, NO FOIL because you want some SKIN. I by far prefer EVOO or sesame oil, though I'm sure you could do almost anything. I went with the typical oven temp scale you'd...

    Diabetes and smoking

    Thinking some more... maybe get some pita bread or wrap? My dad is diabetic and uses Indian Naan bread, which *barely* moves his blood sugar.

    What's a fatty?

    LOL, I was thinking back to much of my more youthful days... When in the Marines, a fatty was what your buddy/wingman wound up with at the end of the night from the bar. We could never give that guy a lot of grief because, after all, he WAS the wingman... Seems he usually had more fun, though...

    What's a fatty?

    I'm new here, and it seems to be slang for what looks like sausage meat, rolled up and sometimes stuffed with veggies and or cheese, etc, and generally enrobed in woven bacon slices. Is that about right? Am I missing anything? They look very satisfying, almost like a pork tenderloin.

    It just arrived last night!

    Beautiful system!!! I'm so jelly! :) Break her in and show us your results! Hoping to get my OC Wrangler soon! Today? This weekend? Next week? The phone will ring... and I'll have to answer (probably will pick up a few robocalls from "Heather with the warranty department" or someone from the...

    Taters

    Years ago, in my starter kit drum smoker, I had access to black walnut (thanks to a massive tree in the back yard) and I loved baking potatoes with the walnut wood. Low and slow, I'd smoke the potatoes while doing yard work, checking and turning them periodically. By dinner time, they were just...

    Diabetes and smoking

    In Texas, something we see on occasion is to wrap a sausage with a tortilla. You can get low-carb tortillas. I don't know if a tortilla is necessarily better than a slice of bread, but I offer it as an option. Check out Wurstfest: https://wurstfest.com/ You'll see innovations in every way. A...

    Whats everyone smoking this weekend?

    I'm *hoping* to have my OC Wrangler delivered, but in the event it's not in on Friday for me to clean and season, I'll be definitely grilling something. If I get the smoker in on the weekend, I will work on cleaning/seasoning/modding it. Might be next weekend before I get to actually do...

    Best store bought sausage for smoking

    Too far to go to get it, but many moons ago, I used to go on business trips to Wilmington, DE. There was a place in downtown Wilmington called Johnny's Market. They made an AMAZING fresh garlic Kielbasa there that was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I'd love to get some of it. Alas, Johnny's owner was shot...

    First time Boston Butt

    n00b here... So I was talking to a guy... and he said the Boston Butt is an excellent meat for someone to smoke if you've got a little experience, but want to do something really good. He said it's very forgiving. Is that true? I'm thinking his fawning words about this cut really got me to...

    Old Country BBQ Pits Wrangler Owners Thread

    Just went to Academy today, saw my first Wrangler II. It has MUCH thinner steel than the Wrangler I bought, and the lid is so thin that they welded gussets into it to keep it curved. At $300, it's 2/3 the price of a Wrangler, so that's to be expected. I'm glad I went with the original Wrangler...

    I know, right? I'm a n00b and they're moderating my posts still, so the time stamp till the time you see it might look like it's a long time. It's a new thread, hopefully it'll gain some traction. I hope to share all of my work on it right here.
