    Herfacue-View

    I threw a HERFACUE this weekend for our cigar club and introduced some guys to the magic of fatties.  For those that don't know, a 'herf' is when 2 or more cigar smokers get together to smoke cigars and socialize.  It only takes 2 for a herf but I've had them with as many as 60 or more - good...

    Smoked this up today and enjoyed it with some friends! Stuffed with roast beef, peppers, onions, mushrooms, cheese and some diced jalapeno.  Served it on a bun and it was excellent!

    My First Brisket with Q-View

    Did this little brisket up today, I'm still learning (fighting with) the fire part of smoking and try to get my temps to hold but I think I'm getting there thanks to all the great input from the forum members. This came up pretty good, had it on the smoker for 7 hours and finished in the oven...

    Noob frustrated - can't get fire right.

    Grrrrr!!!  I'm about to quit messing with this stuff and just get my cue from the joint around the corner!  I just can't seem to get the fire right.  Is this just a noob thing or am I doing something wrong???  It seems like every time I find one thing and correct it then something else is wrong...

    Some help with Brinkmann Smoke N Pit

    I've got a couple of smokes in on my pit and I'm starting to see how it behaves.  I've modded it with a fire box, chimney extension and heat baffle.  When I get a good smoke rolling through it it bellows out the exhaust but also out both sides of the lid.  I wondered if it was supposed to do...

    Ribs and more for weekend party!

    So this weekend was my true "Trail by Fire".  My first big smoke on a charcoal/wood smoker.  The occasion was a "Herf"... a term that cigar smokers use to refer to a gathering of cigar smokers.  We had about 15-20 of us get together and my place to smoke cigars, drink beer and EAT.  We made a...

    Q-View of my ABT's

    Alright, let's do this!  I was reminded in my intro thread of that wise saying, "No pics and it didn't happen."  So I'm sharing some pics of my ABT's.  I'm cheating a bit here as I made these a while back - but they came out very well.  I know everyone has their variations - my filling is cream...
