Bought 2lb bricks of Sharp Cheddar, Pepper Jack, Swiss, and Mozzerella, Cut into 1/2" thick slices. One of each goes into gift baskets this year for family.  Baskets will also include home made summer sausage (regular and jalapeno), beef jerky, and my wife's pepper jelly, giardenera, and banana...

In our quest to eat healthier, one of the things we hear most often is to cut back on "red meat" and add more poultry and seafood to our diet.  Salmon is considered to be a "Power Food" by most nutritionists.  It is loaded with Omega 3's and healthy oils that are supposed to help lower...

OK, I thought I would start a thread here with actual dishes made with the idea that we can have delicious fare and still watch fat, cholesterol, and (for those on Weight Watchers like me) total point values. As a prologue to this dish, let me explain that we have a long-standing tradition of...

OK, not to be a party-pooper, but how is THIS group different from the SMOKING BACON forum in the main section? It seems  redundant and divisive. I would think that splitting the attention of "bacon" between two distinct places makes for a less-productive board.  Especially since this is a...

OK, not to be a party-pooper, but how is THIS sausage group different from the Sausage forum in the main section? It seems  redundant and divisive. I would think that splitting the attention of "sausage" between two distinct places makes for a less-productive board.  Especially since this is a...

Up until now all the fatties I have made have been of the "breakfast" variety (with maple sausage, bacon, etc.) and today I wanted to try something different. I've seen a number of posts about Pizza fatties so I thought I would try my hand at making one for dinner. Started with some of my...

This all came about because SWMBO found a box of "Hamburger Helper Cheesy Hashbrowns"  in the back of the pantry that was getting close to its "use-by" date... Started with a tube of JD Maple sausage, some of my buckboard bacon, real maple syrup, maple bacon and the hashbrowns. While the...

Like Jeff said in his newsletter this month, everyone has their own favorite meatloaf recipe. I don't.  In fact, I've probably never made a meatloaf the same way twice. For Mothers day, here's what I made LOML. Started with Fire Roasted Jalapenos, Green Chilis and some chopped onion, Which...

A very happy Sinko De Mayo!

Heading to a trade show in San Antonio next week. Anyone know of good places to eat around the Convention Center/Riverwalk area? I figure the folks here really know their food...  who better to ask! Thanks in advance.

Started with half a loin - trimmed - for the Canadian Bacon (about 4lbs), and a half a boneless Butt for the buckboard (7lbs).  Used Hi-Mountain cure and let them sit in the fridge for 12 days in vacuum bags. Ran for 30 minutes with no smoke at 150º then bumped to 175º and added oak and...

This was simple and quick enough to make as a weekday meal.   First, I brined the fish for a little over an hour in a solution of 2qt water, 1/4 cup kosher salt, 1/2 cup white sugar \ Rinsed and patted dry, rubbed some olive oil on the bottoms and then spread the tops only with honey, black...

Found some really nice (read: large, cheap) jalapenos at the farm stand on Saturday.  Decided to make some ABT's for an afternoon snack. Sliced, cored and filled. Filling is cream cheese, Rondele garden vegetable spread, shreeeded cheddar, and Velveeta Mexican. Then wrapped in 1/2 slice...

For my wife, the Czarina, who chose to buy a smoker over a piece of jewelry with her bonus check.  My wife, who can name every starting player on the Tampa Bay Bucs AND Tampa Bay Rays lineup and watches SportsCenter even when I am not in the room, and for my wife.... who prefers...

Sorry if this is a taboo subject. I tend to make a LOT of sawdust with my other hobby.  So I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using their own sawdust mix in their AMNS. I figure between the bandsaw, tablesaw, planer and lathe, I probably fill up a 30-gallon trash can every month...

This is one of my favorite salmon recipes.  Long story short we've been tailgating at every Tampa Bay Bucs home game for the last 15 years.  Every Tailgate is "themed" based on the opponent.  So, for instance if we play the Giants we might make NY Strips, or a NY- style cheesecake, or a pitcher...

Had perfect weather this weekend to try out my new AMNS,  Since SWMBO approved purchase of said appliance for the purpose of smoking cheese, this was a golden opportunity to give it a shot. Selected several of her favorites, plus a few of my own. The AMNS was burning clean and slow, with...
