    My Kielbasa Quest begins

    I'm just a newbie Gator but 1 smoke tube and a pan of chips in my Big Chief worked pretty well for me. Got the idea from FuelinAround and his burned out BC. I would have just used the tube as he did for his bacon but it was 9 damn degrees out and I figured I needed the extra heat. I will be...

    Made some beef tallow

    So happy to see I am not the only one who eats these brisket cracklings. As a kid in the early seventies my grandmother would trim pork chops in the morning and make the most amazing cracklings. I've made them many times but they just don't taste like they did back then. Obviously I need to...
