So I bought three bone-in pork shoulders a while back on a pretty good sale. Smoked one a couple of months ago for pulled pork, came out pretty good. I was going to try one as a ham, so I put it in Pop's brine (and injected it) the weekend before last. Of course, the day after I put it in the...
If you have any logs that are anything like straight, it's worth a lot more to bowyers. I'd love to have some straightish Osage to work with, but can't find any without taking out a second mortgage. There's a guy in town selling 6" logs, 4 feet long for $40 each. Too skinny and too short. It...
I've got one. It's well built, but the heat control is pretty much nonexistent. My brother has the digital 30 and it is much better at heat control. It also has an exit flue with a damper, which mine does not. On the downside, his is lacking legs and carry handles. I figure when I get some holes...

Some herbs and spices are oil soluble, some are water soluble, some are alcohol soluble. The reddish proteins (it's not blood, unless you are cooking within minutes of slaughter) that leak out of the meat are mostly in a water solution, but there is some fat in there too. Add a splash of red...
