Answer was quite simple, I found a local butcher selling OUTSIDE skirt.

I decided to go ahead and winterize my pepper garden. Made up a greenhouse on my screen porch and have an oil filled radiator on standby for when it gets cold. I hated to do it but the fruits had sort of stalled and the leaves were starting to wilt. Lots of mini bite size peppers, and yes those...

In July I posted pics of a jalapeno which started producing yellow peppers. So now I have 4 plants going yellow but one is growing dual color peppers!

I hate to say it but I must have 20 different commercial pork rib rubs in my collection and I'm getting ready to toss most of them out as they are two years old or more. I was cooking some ribs yesterday and I did a quick taste test to sample them trying to decide which to use and I'm...

A recent thread that I responded to got me triggered all over again. I had advised the OP that a holding oven was a good idea if he was going to do a start up BBQ business. I've been dreaming of owning one for years (and years) but the cost was just not in the budget. UNTILL I saw an ad for a...

There's lots of under $200 wood/pellet/charcoal pizza ovens on Amazon, anyone done the research on these?

Anybody using a wet brine (salt+water only) on baby backs? I had a package of pork chops that were tough as a shoe so after grilling a few, I brined the rest and the results were VERY good, so now I'm thinking the same bath might work on ribs too? I've developed a passion for "Tuscan ribs" and...

I've got two Jalapeno plants that are producing yellow peppers. These plants came from the same pepper that the other 14 plants came from. I know, I grew the plant that the pepper came from and I handled each and every seed my self, so no way the garden center mixed these up. My internet (AI)...

I was snacking on some fairly dry smoked brisket flat slices out of the fridge yesterday and munching on some spicy picked okra at the same time. The combo was great, I ran out of the okra but still had some of the pickled okra liquid left over so I tried dipping the brisket slices in the...

I saw an recipe that advises to mix raw bacon bits to 91/10 ground sirloin. I'm tempted to give it a go, anyone doing this?

I was looking at the newer pellet cookers at Academy Sports yesterday and man did they have some cool gear! Sadly all of the nicer cookers came with stratospheric prices, sooo I'm wishing my vintage CampChef had an upper cook grate. Any tips on something I can use other than a flimsy cooling...

I'm down the rabbit hole of soil testing for N-P-K values. Got some advice to stop fussing around with fertilizer N-P-K ratios until I know if my soil is out of balance for the veg I am tring to grow. I looked for home soil test kits and even ordered two only to return after looking in the...

My overwhelming need for African Suya beef took over so I went on an open fire grill quest. I needed a grill that would get the coals closer to the cook grate and the OKJ Rambler looked to fit the bill. Brother did it ever. In order to use jumbo skewers I removed the hinged lid and the adustable...

It's Monday April 14 as I type this. I bought an infested poblano pepper at the garden center three weeks ago and when I bought it I noticed some leaves that looked like they had been cut with sissors. Should have walked away, I bought live cutworms from the garden center, thanks for that guys...

The war dept has denied my application for the new Masterbuilt gravity rig but she did allow an Oklahoma Joe "Rambler" table top grill. I've been looking at the cheap junk grills offered by seemingly every home supply store I've been in, including Academy sports (bit of a surprise there, they...

I want to cook closer to the hot coals in my Weber 22 and have been brainstorming (mild breeze really) ideas on how to do it. Anyone know of a quick fix? I can elevate the fire grate on some firebricks but that leaves an opening all the way around that reduces the diameter of the fire and would...

So I ended up with 8 large boneless chops, which I pretty much can't stand fried or grilled because they dry out and get tough. My wife wants to undercook them to retain some tenderness but I'm just not a fan of rare pork. I'm thinking of cubing them up and using them in a slow cooker soup or...

Heard on the radio machine yesterday that the number of American beef critters is way too low, down to 1950's level. Missed why though, what's up? Also heard on the same show that ranchers are selling off their breeder stocks for consumption. This can't be good.

I love to snag what I call "kitchen miracles", cheap (and sometimes cheaply made) small tools that do tedious tasks faster and easier than when done by hand. I've got a plastic apple peeler, several small food processer/choppers, a cheese shredder turning drum gizmo. And now this.. It works...

I tried out my Meater+ temp probe for the first time (whole bird on a Weber 22 w/rotissere). Charcoal baskets on either side of the cooker with a drip pan in between. In adition to the Meater I also placed two wired temp probes above the cook grate but not over the coals. My wired probes both...
