I've spent a lot of time here... too much probably... helped others where I could, learned a lot and most of all, made a lot of new friends. I just do not feel as excited about this place as I used to; it is not the place I thought it was. There are some folks here that think they own this site...

I got my SMF apparell order just now... Everything was as ordered, except the stickers. I got some (**&^&$%#%^) "Soccer Mom" stickers instead of the two SMF stickers I ordered... ARRRGGGHHH!!! Man, this sux... first someone launches a couch at me, now this... That's it, I'm writing my...

...was almost a disaster! There is a God! I was heading to Lowes to pick up my new CG smoker, heading south on Rt 1, following a Dodge pickup with a load of furniture in the bed. I was thinking to myself, "Self, he hasn't got that load strapped in very well and it's awful windy..." Well, just...

...a mini-smoke/tutorial on a simple, yet awesome fatty. If y'all want to continue, scroll downward. If not, your missing something. These fatty s were filled with a medley consisting of asparagus (just for you WD) , onion, garlic, carrot, celery, mushroom and BBQ'ed spare rib skirt. All those...

In an effort to bring some much needed happiness to this Christmas, you'll never guess what the lovely Mrs. Santa is bringing me... No, not the Lang (just yet...), but another Char-Griller Smokin' Pro! WOOOHOOO!!!! What will I gain from this? Happiness. Plus, now I'll have something to tinker...

Enjoy the day... May you have many more!

Well folks, I hesitate to share some really sad news at this festive time of the year, but I need to. I just found out my daughter Steph had a miscarriage. She's okay and resting. We're all okay, just hurting... I guess God saw reason for this to happen. I am truly bummed.

Although it was raining and miserable yesterday, I needed a smoke fix! I was on a tight schedule, so I decided to do some ribs. I'll tell ya', I think these were the best ones yet... I did the usual prep with rub on Saturday for the next day's smoke. So yesterday, I ran the smoker up to 250...

May you have many more!

This just has to go! 18 degrees tonite and white stuff falling from the sky. I want it to be spring... And my Jeep decides to break something just in time for this crap. I need a drink. And a new Jeep. No, I need to fish in warm weather. With adult beverages at my beckoned call. But, if I...

I have been searching locally, trying to find stove gasketing rope. No luck. But, I did find this place: http://www.woodstove-outlet.com/gaskets.htm It looks like the stuff they carry will work great for our purposes, and they're fairly reasonable. I am going to order a length of the 3/8 "x...

Well, I'm now official pissed... my trusty ol' Maverick went south on me yesterday... the switch on the remote unit broke and won't turn off. I was worried about those tiny little switches when I first got this thing, they just didn't seem beefy enough to me. Guess I was right. So, now I have...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEWA:IT&ih=001 It looks pretty good in the pics anyway. I sent the guy an email asking what guage/thickness steel he's using. I also asked him if he has a price list of the models he offers. He says he and his partner will build them to customers specs...

I dunno about you, but I got a tad upset with him and his "BBQ" brisket. That brisket never saw a lick of smoke, other than him searing it in a pan on top of the stove! He made up a red sauce and poured it over the brisket, sealed the pan with foil, put it in the oven at some unknown temp for...

All this talk of soups and chowders is firing me up! Here is one of my favorites for the winter months: Ingredients: 4 lbs black-eyed peas 1 medium-sized picnic ham w/bone (6-8lbs) chunked 4 qt chicken stock 3 celery stalks chopped 3 carrots chopped 1 large onion chopped 2 cans whole plum...

Hope you have a smokin' day!

Not rilly on the smoking topic, but I have been thinking about this... I think alot of kids could benefit from it. When I was in high school (yes, there were such things way back then), we had some classes called electives, which included Home Economics, Shop, and a few others I can't think of...

I have been Jonesing for a smoke fix and my SMF family! I am sooooo glad to be back home! What a whirlwind... Turkey Day here in Delaware, then drive a bazillion miles out to Michigan for a wedding and another Turkey Day, visit relatives, witness my sister's cat dying (yuck), learn from my...

I know some folks like to slather butter under the skin on a turkey before baking or smoking... has anyone ever tried placing strips of bacon under the skin? I'll bet that would be awesomely juicy and flavorful. Hmmmm... sounds like an experiment coming soon.

For all you CG owners out there, if you are suffering from the agony of CAHS (Cheap Assed Handle Syndrome), you'll be happy to know there is a cure! We all know how those crummy wooden sticks they provide us as stock handles just splinter, chip and fall apart... they just aren't all that heat...
