    Mom's Recipes

    Thanx for the kind words. Your Poppy did a great thing and I agree completely about missing the way things were back then. I would so much love to live in those times. Granted, it was hard work, but the rewards meant so much more. I feel truly blessed to be a part of my family and to be raised...

    Jeff's Naked Rib Rub?

    To me, both are mild, maybe a touch of heat in the sauce. The rub is my standard now, though depending on who I'm cooking for, I'll add some heat. Even one lady I know that can't tolerate heat loves the sauce. You really can't go wrong with the purchase.

    Mom's Recipes

    Well, I decided on the bean soup with ham hocks for the main course for tomorrow. I got my ECB working great and will be doing the hocks and beans in it. For desert, the apple cinnamon muffins. I'll take some over to my Mom for supper tomorrow night and give the leftovers to a cousin. Every...

    ECB Smoke-N-Grll (round) Mods

    It's a nice day here, I took the day off for a four day memorial weekend. I figured it was the perfect time to do some mods to my new, old ECB that I found in the shed last week. All in all, I put the legs on the outside, allowing me to put legs on the fire pan. This will let me lift the smoker...

    Question or 2 about maple

    I use maple almost exclusively. I've used it with beef, pork, fish and it all turns out great. Sometimes with pork, I'll add some hickory. Great mix, there. With beef, I'll sometimes add hickory or mesquite. Again, a great mix for me. I'd try mixing with the apple, cherry and pecan, in that...

    New Platform - What do you think?

    I'm kinda confused... Easy to do to me... The layout seems pretty straightforward to me. At the top, links to all the main areas, although I will give ya that "Forum" should be "Forums" and Help or Support should be on that bar, as well. I'd be willing to give ya, too, the popup ad thing. I...

    New Platform - What do you think?

    I voted previously that I like the new format. That's still the case. As one member posted, (paraphrasing) it's the members that makes this site so great. Very true. I visit others, but always come back "home". Now, I know I'll take a hit or few, but will speak my mind here. Just remember, I'm...

    Premier Status Showing Vs. OTBS Status

    I voted for OTBS, although I am a premier member and not OTBS, yet.... I belong to another organization where you can buy in to different "awards". Doesn't really mean much to me. There is one group in that organization, however, that you have to be nominated and elected to be a part of. That...

    Getting New Smoker - What to get????

    I have a Char Griller Super Pro with SFB. I like it. I bought it as a starter, just to make sure I really wanted to get into this hobby turned obsession... I've been thinking about getting a vertical, such as WSM. We have a BGE dealer here in town that would love to sell me one of those. To be...
