Greetings to all! I bought an iPad for lots of different reasons. Shortly after, my boy claimed my laptop. It's all good, since this does everything I did with that and is a lot more fun. I found a recipe app called Paprika. It's perfect for what I need. The ingredients list is what you type...

Just a test to see if my new iPad works here

Greetings to All! Well, it's been a couple of long months here. Been working lots of overtime and rarely got time to enjoy this great obsession and the site. My busy season is over now, and I'm still on overtime (just not as much). The weather reports all week had us getting from a dusting of...

Living in Minnesota means cold weather in the winter. Snow. All kinds of joy! Anyway, the two smokers I have, Char-Griller with SFB and an ECB will not be good for the temps we will have. Since starting this obsession... err, hobby... this past spring, I've never thought about what the winter...

Well, it's not really a joke, but it was funny. Checking out pics of some Scouts camping (I'm a Boy Scout leader, doing youth leadership training this weekend and smoking some treats for them) and there was one of them making breakfast. Bacon, eggs, french toast, etc. Gobs of bacon...  The...

OK, I must have messed something up somewhere, but can't figure out how to undo it. Unfortunately, with overtime, family things, etc., I've been MIA here. I still manage to get some meat smoked now and then. My boy is doing great at Le Cordon Bleu. My nephew is doing good for the most part, but...

Greetings to all! I've been really busy with lots of things, so I've been absent from the site for a while. I only have one picture of tonight's meal, I hope that will suffice for a re-introduction...  A few weeks ago, my boy calls me. He's got great news and wants to let me know. So, I had...

Well, I haven't posted much for qview lately, so I'm showing the chicken I did today. It's not much, but was quite tasty. Only me today, the gathering is tomorrow. I partially split a chicken breast to form a pocket. Rubbed EVOO inside and out. For spice, I used Weber's Kickin' Chicken. A...

Wow, it's been a crazy evening here. The worst is over, hopefully. More than two inches of rain and a temp drop of more than 25 degrees in the last hour. Trees are down, flash floods, marble to golf ball size hail, etc. We are all safe here, thankfully. However, the storm is about to hit where...

Greetings to Everyone! I have an idea, not sure what to do with it, though. My Mom is on a limited diet, and we have an extended family get together tomorrow night. Here's my idea, but I will ask a couple of questions after... Take a potato, slice it in half length wise, take some out. Kind...

I was checking out the throwdowns and wanted to check out the rules, etc., for the June throwdown (spuds). I clicked on the image that appeared to be a link to the info. Instantly, Norton pops up with: I clicked on the Full Report and here's the URL for it...

Greetings! I'm trying an experiment to see how well I can better find new posts. I use Firefox on Windows Vista. Not sure if this experiment can help others, but feel free to ask/comment. What I did: Went to the Forum main page and clicked on "Mark Forums Read". Went back to SMF's home page...

Nephew/Smoking Apprentice Dakota and I decided we needed to try a fatty. Here is what we came up with. We used ground turkey rather than sausage. For stuffing, red bell pepper, onion, potato, Italian five cheese mix. After laying out the turkey, I coated it with some pure maple syrup and a...

Well, they're not smoked, but are incredibly delicious. Just thought I'd share this morning's work. Recipe: 2 cups crushed cinnamon graham crackers 1/2 cup flour 1/4 cup sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1 egg 8 oz plain yogurt 1/4 cup oil 1 large apple, chopped...

Last night I was invited over to some friend's house on Memorial Day. I thought I had some left over pulled pork in the freezer to make enough sandwiches, so offered to bring that. My offer was gladly accepted. So, I run to the freezer to get it out to thaw. Push, shove stuff out of the way. No...

Good Evening to All! Yesterday, I did some mods and the test burn/seasoning of my ECB. I was really happy with it's ability to keep a constant temp for almost four hours without adding any charcoal. I decided to add some vents in the top of the ECB and use a bit less charcoal to get a lower...

It's a nice day here, I took the day off for a four day memorial weekend. I figured it was the perfect time to do some mods to my new, old ECB that I found in the shed last week. All in all, I put the legs on the outside, allowing me to put legs on the fire pan. This will let me lift the smoker...

As usual, I went to my Mom's house for dinner today. We got started talking about her recipes. At 87, she doesn't really cook a lot any more and gave me her recipe box. She also explained some about how things were done way back when. My Grandpa must have had a smoke house on the farm as some of...

Hi! I was at work today and while doing something that didn't take much thought realized that many, many years ago I bought an ECB. I couldn't get it to work the way I thought it should and gave up smoking meat. Not sure where I put it, I wondered if I had tossed it or sold it or what. Then, I...

Greetings to all! I'm thinking about having a small party for my Mom. She's 87 and loves what I cook. Thing is, she and some of her friends need meat to be REALLY easy to chew/swallow. The fish I smoke is always a huge hit and that is my first inclination. However, I'd really like to offer...
