    Some quick smoked chicken thighs, sticks, and ABT's

    I threw together some quick thighs and sticks, and thought, why not add some ABT's ??? Made two mistakes however, didn't add a water bowl, and didn't take out the done ones while waiting on the thicker pieces.  They were still delicious. The ABT's had Cheddar cheese, or Monterrey Jack, with...

    Collaboration of homemade TX Sausage

    Ok, first things first, my friend at work made these sausages from an old family recipe that he and his dad worked on.  I just bought the raw sausages and smoked 'em.....then of course I devoured all I could handle!  Used apple, mesquite, and hickory in equal proportions.  Took em off when they...

    Follow up Pork Picnic with Qview!

    Last time I had an amazing experience smoking a Butt, and decided to try a Picnic this time.  I started getting ready the night before, and realized my meat was still frozen in the middle, so I put it in a bath of water (still in the bag), got the smoker all ready, made the rub, and went to be...

    Quick Q-view Hickory/Apple Smoked Chicken

    Here is a quick q-view of my chicken with some hickory / apple smoke. I just slopped some garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper...on the smoker for 4.5 hrs (with a problem, ran out of coals, had to initiate a second batch), and with a pipe and some scotch, made for some delish dinner. Hope...

    My Cilantro Lime Chicken & ABT's

    I saw SeenRed's thread on the cilantro lime chicken, corn, and ABT's (bacon wrapped stuffed jalapenos).  It looked so good I had to try it, minus the over ripe corn from the store.  Hopefully next time my dad's super corn will be ready! Here is the Hot Italian sausage (should have used a mild...

    Recommended way to thaw Pork Shoulder (or other smoke fodder)

    I am planning on smoking my first pork shoulder this weekend, and was hoping some of the experienced pros on the forum can help me out with a recommended way of thawing it, (8 lbs.)?  My goal is to make pulled pork (and make it look like Disco's!) Are there different methods for different cuts...

    Round 2 Baby Back Pork Ribs

    I smoked the other half (5 lbs.) of my baby back pork ribs today.   I made up some rub, basted the raw ribs with some store bought sauce so the rub would stick.  I used a little less rub this time on 2 racks, the other had almost no rub. Here are the ready to smoke ribs with rub: I used...

    My second Smoke - Baby Back Pork Ribs

    So I did 2 smokes in 3 days, chicken thighs and drumsticks (super juicy and delish).  The morning of my second smoke, Baby Back Pork Ribs, I consulted this site for advice.  I had so much fun, and learned so much, I thought I'd join this community and develop some skills and enjoy some...
