    Fattie Throwdown Entry - Atomic Fattie

    Wowsers! I think my colon hurts just looking at that. But man, brilliant idea. I think I'll do one similar for myself. I know the wife and kids won't touch it.

    Dutch's Smoked Shredded Beef Enchiladas

    You know, it's these li'l tidbits/recipe ideas that I would never think of that make this site great. Thanks Dutch, for yet another great idea. Can even smoke the chiles while I'm at it.

    Secrets to Great Barbecue

    General rule...no member of the cooking party or gallery may look directly at each other. All conversation must be from the side of the mouth, while looking directly at the smoker. You may however, if the situation deems it necessary, tilt your head toward the recipient of the comment/query...

    Probe thermometer stuck in an apple?

    I use a chunk of potato, and the folks fight over who gets to eat it. It's kinda fun.

    (Fairly) New guy

    I did a fattie for easter, too! What a perfect celebration of new life...with a cholesterol bomb. ROFL. You're going to have to share the knowledge you have amassed on brisket. Looking forward to the posts!

    New Guy From Tampa

    You know, I had the same thoughts. I thought I knew a lot about 'cue, but man, it was only the tip of the iceberg. Just bounce around the site and you will see such a wealth and depth of knowledge, it is mind boggling. Welcome to the fun!

    I guess entertaining falls into this category...

    The outbuilding is big enough for an rv and 2 cars. The previous owner did use it as a shop. He even had an old school engine analyzer in there. The breezeway between the house and the shop has massive cabinet space and plenty of room for my chest freezer. I think I'm moving to BBQ heaven...

    Canning Hot Peppers

    Ive been canning peppers for a couple of years now. I always use a vinegar brine. In the past I have used water bath and they turned out ok, texture wise (read: not toooo soft). I put up a ton of macho nachos last year in a pressure canner and they are pretty mushy. Pretty much only good for...

    I guess entertaining falls into this category...

    Not sure, but I just had to post this somewhere. We are finally pulling the trigger and buying a house. Now, I'm a deck fanatic and I love entertaining groups. Every house we have looked at has become an exercise in deck planning for me. Then we saw this house....A little reinforcing...

    Salmon: Take two

    SO, as they say, get back on the horse that bucked you. Sam's had a nice fillet at a decent price. I passed on the brine this time, just lightly salted, brown sugar and dill. Just got the smoker up to temp (So easy now that I finished insulating it with concrete board). We're gonna let her...

    My education begins....

    ROFL, no! I lined the bottom of the smoker with foil, so when the ashes fall through the drilled holes, they land on the foil. I could see your concern, though. I should watch my pronouns...

    My education begins....

    Timleo used rivets. He sent me the pics. I just used steel bolts and painted them with high temp paint. I've got the two sides mounted using 1/2" wonderboard. A 3x5 sheet is about 13 bucks. I completely ran out of time and couldn't finish before I had to fire it up today. I just laid a...

    First ABT's. Not bad but....

    Those look bloody marvelous...I am so ecstatic for warmer weather so I don't have to spend so much money on lump to keep my temps up. I want to try everything. Those ABT's look positively to die for.

    Large amounts of pork

    Just thinking ahead...I was asked to provide lunch for a disc golf tournament in late summer and I am putting together the logistics. Now, I know I can physically fit about 25 lbs of pork in the 'ole Brinkman Box, but would I have to use significantly more fuel for that amount of meat? I'm...

    Fail!!

    I was wondering when I rinsed them. They were...shall wee say.. a bit firm? I rinsed the snot out of them and went with it anyway, not knowing anything about it. Oh well, was decent practice for regulating temps anyway... And even the dog won't eat them, I think they are unrecoverable...

    Fail!!

    Ok, so when preparing a dry salmon brine for the first time, always double check your proportions....These little pink salt licks could have been avoided. At the same time, I wish I had a camera for the look on my wife and 5 year old son's face. Timmy was terribly disappointed. We have been...

    My education begins....

    Hey, Timleo, great idea. Fireproof....gotta watch what kind of cement board you get though, as a lot of them have Styrofoam filler in them. probably not a good thing. Anyway, how did you mount it? Got a pic?

    Macho Nacho

    I didn't save any seeds, but I'm not too worried about it. The soil out here is some impossibly productive that I just could not keep up with yield. I'm fully inspecting some volunteers. 2 plants were well over 200 peppers! My tomatoes have gone bonkers too. I grow romas for sauces and...
