Thanks.

I have smoked a few butts over the years but looking for a change on Thanksgiving. We always do the turkey and then another meat that is smoked. The smoked meat choice for dinner this year is pork butt. I was going to do ham but waited too long to decide and ran out of time to cure. My family...

I am glad it worked out for you. Such an easy thing to do to make a huge difference. Enjoy the ribs.

Thanks, just picked up a 5.25 pound flat at SAMs club. Will see how this works out tomorrow.

Want to smoke a brisket for dinner tomorrow. I will be doing it in my electric smoker. We want to slice it and not pull it. 1: What cut of meat should I get? 2: Length of Time with smoke rolling? 3: Flavor of wood? 4: How long at what temp before putting in foil? Seems like 170 then foil...

Thankfully we never let our kids get started eating nasty stuff from places like Mcdonalds. When my son was in 2nd grade they talked about how the stuff they call "food" is processed. My son decided at that point he would never eat any of that garbage. He is now 18 and my daughter 20  and they...

I never let mine touch. I started using the rib racks that I got at Lowes and they work great. I tried stacking them a few times when it was time to foil them instead of wrapping them separate. They came out chewy and terrible every time. Went back to wrapping each in foil and they are great...

Thanks for the help. There were so many ways found to deal with them but I like going with the experience here. Did some looking on youtube last night. They make it look so easy but I told her I think this is going to be hilarious attempting to stuff these things. We made a pound and fried it up...

You will definitely get opinions. I love my electric. I have never had any issues using electric except for not getting the cool smoke ring. I use sand in the water pan and my temps come back super fast. I have put countless amounts of meat through my smoker and would not even consider going any...

My daughter decided she wanted to make breakfast sausage links. She went out and bought the meat grinder and stuffer attachment for her new Kitchenaid. She has a recipe from the club she works at that she wants to try. She is a pastry chef so this is something different for her.  Just bought 7...

I manage large shopping centers. We have actually had such poor quality out of some of the union contractors that it is unbelievable. We have even had such big problems with the carpenters union behaving like animals that even family and friends of members of that union have said they were...

Get well quick Bear

I use an electric and I am always around 6 hours for around 4 pounds. I usually do 135 for about 5 hours and 170 for 1 hour. Comes out perfect for me. I have been doing cure #1 and marinating it around 24-36 hours.

We have one 1/4 mile from home and dont shop there. No name brands scare us. We have been in them but not impressed.

I always used the stick in type until I bought a Maverick. Mine always worked great leaving them in but I love not having to look in all the time to check the temp.

It sucks so many people are losing jobs all in one shot. People have to understand that these threats from the businesses to settle and get back to work are real threats these days. The unions are not strong enough to keep people working.  That happened to Krogers here in Pittsburgh around 1983...

Thanks guys. I should have started sooner. Not thinking how close Thanksgiving is and my wife wanted to have this in addition to the turkey.

I make canadian bacon but my wife found a recipe on another forum that I dont know what you would call the final cut of meat. It really looks good. Sounds like canadian bacon being called pork chops. Heres what they used: Brine: 2 Cups of Water ½ Cup Morton Tender Quick 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1...

I am redoing my outdoor kitchen this year and we want to add a flat top griddle. I can get my hands on an electric unit for free through work. The big problem is it is 208 volt. We also like cooking with gas since it is easier to control temps. I looked on line and couldnt find any thing about...

I love the Left Hand Milk Stout. I was drinking that when I was visiting in Cleveland last summer. I have not seen it anywhere in Pittsburgh yet. We have a ton of craft beer bottleshops here so hopefully it will show up.
