Quicker way to see the current threads?
I've just been clicking on "Home" way at the top when I get a little buried. I've also noticed a little blue swirly arrow pops in at the top of the list if new posts have been added, but I haven't refreshed the page in a while.- 5lakes

Do you use the Minion Method of burning charcoal?
I learned the Minion method here, as well, when I first started coming to this site. Maybe, just maybe, if I had known of it when I bought my first smoker, it wouldn't have ended up sitting in the shed for more than 10 years... I use it all the time.- 5lakes

New Platform - What do you think?
I can honestly say that I really like it. It will take some getting used to, though. I just need to do a bit more exploring and reading the tutorials. Thanx to all that made this happen!- 5lakes

Mom's Recipes
Thanx everyone for the great comments. I will be sharing the recipes, along with qview, as I make them. She already has next Sunday planned, oyster stew. I'm torn between the ham hock and bean stew and a recipe for stuffed cheeseburgers. Then there's the stuffed potatoes, chicken hot dish...- 5lakes

Mom's Recipes
As usual, I went to my Mom's house for dinner today. We got started talking about her recipes. At 87, she doesn't really cook a lot any more and gave me her recipe box. She also explained some about how things were done way back when. My Grandpa must have had a smoke house on the farm as some of...- 5lakes

4 lb boneless shoulder picnic roast........
Hi! Make sure you consider time for the stall. I started two at the same time a couple weeks ago. Almost same size as yours. One finished in time for supper, the second one took an extra two hours. I started mine around 10:00 AM. Next time I'll probably go an hour earlier just to be safe. It... -
What was supposed to be a short smoke... Qveiw
That looks great! Gotta throw some your way! I did two about the same size as yours. One finished right on time for supper, the second one about two hours later. They both tasted great, but I learned the rule "It ain't done til it's done" that day. -
smoked first trout
Very nice! I've never put anything IN the trout I've smoked. I've always done them as fillets. This I'm going to have to try. Thanx for the post and qview! -
How many us hunt ??
Granted, I don't hunt much, but I do go after small game. I'd love to do more, though. I have a friend that will be taking me duck/pheasant hunting this fall.- 5lakes

Stupid question about ribs
I asked this same question of a butcher. His reply was that "pork back ribs" are what is commonly referred to (around here, anyway) as "baby" back ribs. There are other rib cuts, but, if you lived here, the answer would be yes. -
I found my old ECB
Hi! I was at work today and while doing something that didn't take much thought realized that many, many years ago I bought an ECB. I couldn't get it to work the way I thought it should and gave up smoking meat. Not sure where I put it, I wondered if I had tossed it or sold it or what. Then, I...- 5lakes

VERY soft/tender meat?
Thanx for the info. I think I'll experiment with a chicken this weekend. Should I do it whole or butterfly it? The rub won't be a problem, since they love what I use. I just need to make sure I can get it tender enough. If this works, I just might be brave enough to try a small turkey for the...- 5lakes

VERY soft/tender meat?
Greetings to all! I'm thinking about having a small party for my Mom. She's 87 and loves what I cook. Thing is, she and some of her friends need meat to be REALLY easy to chew/swallow. The fish I smoke is always a huge hit and that is my first inclination. However, I'd really like to offer...- 5lakes

At the bottom of the active threads pages is a table that describes the perks for premier membership. I've received far more than $15 worth of information and help from many people on this site. When I read the post about the upgrade coming up, I figured that since I use the site so much, get so...- 5lakes

smokers and my neighbors...Laws???
Just tonight, a neighbor that has pretty much ignored me saw I was smoking supper and I invited her to come over for one of the ABTs I just took off the smoker. She was quite happy and we had a nice talk. Not sure I could be nice if someone called the cops on me, though. I'd try. Hope this...- 5lakes

Pork loin, my first ABTs, begging forgiveness
My last Qview post had very little Qview. I sincerely apologize for that. I beg forgiveness from all. I humbly submit today's smoke. We finally have some decent weather here. Time to smoke! Starting with appetizers... My first ABTs. Cream cheese, baby shrimp, crab meat, a tiny bit...
