Who from SMF will be there?  I'm going to be cooking with a team my wife's work is doing, and I'm in charge of chicken.  First comp I'm ever doing, so I'm pretty excited.  Anyways, it would be cool to meet up with some SMFers out there next weekend!  I'll also be playing in the poker tournament...

I'm fully expecting that these may not absorb the brine quite right, but this is the situation I'm in.  I rarely get weekend days off, and when I found out I could take tomorrow off, I grabbed a couple whole birds out of the freezer, along with a prime rib roast I had in there.  That was...

I found one of these on craigslist for $25 and was wondering if these grinders are any good. Does anyone have any experience with these? Thanks.

Saturday, we're heading out to the Royals game, and going to do some tailgating.  I've been asked to bring some fatties, which I was all gung ho about...and then I came across a problem...the game is at noon.  We will be getting there at 8.  This means I'm going to need to get up around 3:30 to...

So about a week ago, I smoked some bacon for the first time, and thought...shoot, if I'm doing that I might as well try some cheese to, right?  Not wanting to waste a bunch of expensive cheese, I went to the store and bought 4 blocks of cheese, 2 medium sharp cheddar, monterey jack, and pepper...

Tomorrow is the day I finally make some bacon!  Thank you to all for answering my questions.  Here is the split butt after being rinsed: The one on the left is peppered, and the one on the right just has some maple syrup.  I cut a few pieces off to taste: The peppered was great!  I was...

Well, I'm finally going to do it.  I got my ANS for my birthday in October.  Then life got in the way, and I wasn't able to try it.  Then Snowmageddon happened here in KC.  This week, I decided I was going to do some chickens and pulled pork, so when I went to Costco I thought - perfect...

OK, so I know this is a bunch of tomfoolery around these parts, but I'm thinking of trying my hand at smoking an "extra lean" roast.  Why, you ask?  Because my wife keeps giving me that "if you keep doing this your heart is going to explode and we should probably go ahead and up your life...

Doing my first chuckie today...had gone by the BBQ supply place today, and picked up some rubs since they were on sale, so I'm using plowboys Bovine Bold, instead of my normal brisket rub that I make.  Anyways, here it is rubbed down and ready to sleep in the chill chest last night: And just...

I've been searching, looking for a basic BB walkthrough, but can't find one on here, just one for CB.  I did find some things that would be helpful, but tehy seemed to be more for hotter smoking than I'm going to do.  I plan on using my new AMNS to pull this off.  I'm going to be trying this...

Saw in the Hy-Vee ad yesterday that they have Chuckies on sale for $2.49/lb.  I'm thinking about giving a chuckie a shot.  Heard too much great about them not to!  Is this a good deal?  I'm new (well, just moved back to) the KC area, and I'm not real familiar with the prices here.  Thanks! P.S...

So I just got the A-Maze-N smoker for my birth....the first anniversary of me turning 29.  Anyways, I can't wait to get it up and going, but I want to make sure that I know what I'm doing.  I'm going to read up in the individual forums for the different items I'll be cold smoking, but wanted to...

I've got a company picnic next weekend, and I was going to bring some ABT's. However, I won't be able to do them the day of. I was curious if and how you would tackle this. I haven't had much luck reheating ABT's in the past, but if there's ever any left it's one or two, and I just put them in...

So the other day the wife and I were in Costco doing some shopping, and when we were checking out the cashier hit us up for the "executive" membership. It's like $50 extra per year, but they prorate based on how much time you have left in your current membership, I guess. Anyways, it cost us...

I've had a brisket on for about 3.5 hours so far. It is up to about 160 or so, and when I went to check on it to foil, I noticed that it didn't have much bark! What happened was I am also cooking a couple pork butts, in my WSM. I put the pork on top, and as it was dripping on the brisket...

locally in the Greensboro, NC area? I tried Morton's website, but they didn't list any stores in 50 miles, so I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone knew where it could be had. I have looked online, and may still order it, but shipping seems really high to me for the cost of the product. I'm...

I'm interested in trying buckboard bacon on my WSM. I'm not really interested in manufacturing the different ducts, etc, as I'm not very handy myself. Has anyone done this on a WSM as-is? What steps did you take to keep the heat low enough? Any tips??

This may have been mentioned before, and if so, I apologize, but I did a quick search and didn't see it. I buy all my charcoal from Costco. I use briquettes, so if you only use lump this may not be for you, but in the mailer of coupons we got the other day, there was a coupon for $3 off their...

Has anyone ever done this? Is it simply just smoking the jalepenos, or do you need to add anything else to them? How do you recommend storing them? How long will they stay good for? Sorry for so many questions, but we use chipotle's when making mexican quite a bit, so I thought - hey, why...

I'm having trouble locating which section of this brisket is the flat, vs. the point. I heard that you can tell by looking for the grain to run perpendicular on the point to the flat, but I'm having some troubles....help??
