My buddy took a 300+ lb boar at our hunting lease a couple of weeks ago and he decided that we needed to make sausage from the majority of it, so this is my first attempt at making and smoking sausage. We made three types. The first being cajun sausage(we are from Louisiana), the second is a...

I recently had an opportunity to take a few rabbits before the season ends and I would really like to throw 'em on the smoker. After a search of the threads I was able to find one recent that had given me some ideas, but what I don't know is to what internal temp to bring the rabbit. Do I...

Had my shift Christmas party last night. Fed about 20 people. I cooked Nolan Ryan ribeyes (no growth hormones or anti-biotics) for the members of my shift. Hands down the best steak I have ever eaten. For the rest of the guests, I smoked two pork butts. One pulled and one sliced. I also smoked...

My sister-in-law and her family are coming over tonight for a visit and I've been volunteered to "smoke something". In spite of it being the first perfect weather weekend to hunt, I'm a little excited about cooking my first brisket. I found a 9 pounder at Sam's. After I trimmed it, it was about...

Was at Sams today and saw some nice looking beef tenderloin steaks, so I decided to pick some up. I'm not necessarily going to smoke them, but I'm going to cook it on the grill with a little sugar maple smoke. It should be great. I seasoned with a dusting of Holliers Cajun seasoning and then...

I'm finally able to smoke the wild hog roast from my freezer. I just finished seasoning it along with some split chicken breasts. It's going to depend on the weather, but my plan is to smoke them tomorrow. I used Jeff's rub. It was delicious on the chicken last time. I hope it's just as good on...

I'm at my breaking point!! I'm tired of smoking veggies and eggs!! I have to smoke some kind of meat, so I picked up some split chicken breasts with rib meat. I made some of Jeff's naked rub and I slathered them with it. they're going to sit in the fridge overnight and I'm gonna smoke those...

I run into a lot of recipes that call for smoked paprika, but I have a lot of trouble finding it where I live. It occurred to me that, "hey dummy you have a smoker and maybe you could try to smoke it yourself". Is it a matter of simply spreading it out in a pan and smoking it or are there...

I getting very close to my target weight and I am going to be able to use my smoker for things other than veggies and eggs. My first smoke I think is going to be a bone-in pork roast from the hind quarter of a wild hog I harvested. I plan to slice the meat. This cut of meat tends to be a...

Here's my 2nd official smoke. This time I am smoking eggs again, hopefully better than last time, but I am also smoking some peppers. Not ABT's, but the whole peppers. I have some habeneros and some jalapenos. I really like to make my own pepper vinegar, so I decided to try it with the peppers...

Okay, I decided to go a little easy at first with my first smoke. I decided to smoke some eggs. Cheap and if I mess them up not a hard lesson. I have to say that it was very easy to maintain the temp at about 225 throughout. I found the sweet spot with the propane. Below is a photo of the eggs...
