    Big Green Egg vs Traeger Pro and Offset Wood Smoker

    I've been using a BGE for over 15 years and like the results as far as the actual cooking of meat, but I don't think I get the smokey flavor of an offset wood smoker. Lately I've been thinking of getting a pellet smoker, i.e., Traeger Pro 34. At my age I don't plan on staying up all night...

    Advise on Smoking 8 lb brisket

    That was also a concern of mine.  I've just recently started smoking at higher temps, but I haven't done anything this small in a long time.  I'll be using a XL size BBG with a double decker grill, so my air flow should be good.  I just want to know if it will take longer than 10 hours, so I can...

    Advise on Smoking 8 lb brisket

    Long story, but I'm smoking two 8 lb briskets for a friend, and I'm trying to  estimate how long it is going to take to reach an internal temp of 190 using a smoker temp of 260.  It's been a while since I smoked a brisket this small, and since I have to deliver it for a party, I want to make...

    Braided Marinated Bacon Wrapped Pork Tenderloin hot smoked on the #KamadoJoe Big Joe

    That is very cool looking.  I don't quite understand how you did the weave, but that is something I want to try.  Thanks.

    How do you sharpen a serrated slicing knife?

    Thanks for both your replys.  It sounds like a lot more work than just using my 120.  But with an inexpensive knife, I think I'll try it.  Again, thanks.

    How do you sharpen a serrated slicing knife?

    I recently watched a video with Aaron Franklin (BBQ with Franklin) and he uses a 12" serrated slicing knife.  Although I like my 12" slicing straight edge knife, I'm thinking of getting a serrated on to try, since they are not expensive.  The question I have is how do you sharpen a serrated...

    Foodsaver Promo Code

    A few years ago I got a promo code for 60% off a Foodsaver vacuum sealer.  I bought one and five or six of my friends did also.  Does anyone know of any good deals or promo codes for Foodsavers?  I have a friend who has just started smoking meat, and is now in the market for a food sealer. ...

    Need a meat slicer recommendation...

    Dave,  I'm thinking about getting a Chef's Choice 615, as I would only use it 2 or 3 times a month.  Did you get the optional sharpener, and if so, would you recommend it, too?  Thanks.

    Freezing Jalapenos for ABT's later?

    I have frozen ABTs several times and they turn out fine.  When I've got a big Q planned, I try to do as much as possible before to avoid not being worn out when the guests arrive, and also allow me to get in some golf.  I make the ABTs, sometimes months in advance, put them in a bag and vacuum...

    Brick smoker - Compete how to

    Dave's right, it doesn't get old looking at your smoker.  Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and have a Happy New Year!

    First Bacon Weave

    I finally did a bacon weave, and it was fun.  It really makes an impression on your guests.  I stuffed two pork tenderloins and a pork loin.  I put the weave on the loin.  Sorry, but I got carried away after slicing and forgot to take pictures until there was only one slice of loin left.  Next...

    Canadian Bacon

    That looks very very tasty.  Could you send me a couple of slices?  I'm just having my coffee and I could make a great breakfast sandwich with that.  Good job.
