    Birthday Fatties

    These were a special request by SHMBO for her birthday. Happy wife... ect. Sorry about the crappy cell phone pix, but the SLR was too far away when I was assembling these. One pound Jimmy Dean Hot sausage, this time I used Sweet Baby Ray's, swiss (on two of 'em, smoked black pepperjack on...

    3-2-1 Ribs w/ SmokinAl's rub

    Safeway had "St Louis style" ribs on sale last week for 1/2 off, yesterday was the day. These were 3-2-1 ribs done @ 225* in the Traeger as I wasn't going to be able to babysit the propane smoker. The "set & forget" of the Traeger is really nice sometimes. Let me start with a shoutout to...

    Finally got to use my homebuilt ABT racks

    Finally tried out the racks I built a while ago. As I feared, the holes are too small for large jalapenos, especially when wrapped w/ bacon. Hard to tell from the pics, but the peppers are barely in the holes and are prone to tipping. The filling was simple as this was a first run, proof...

    Test Bird

    I decided I needed "proof of concept" with the smoke tube & Traeger combo. Picked up a 12lb "nothing special" bird a while back. It's been thawed for at least a few days, so, Sunday was the day. Spatchcock, I didn't brine this one simply to keep things easy. Spice prep was Garlic Lover's...

    Homemade smoke generators, pics & ideas...

    I posted a while ago with pics of the "first generation" home-built tube, I've refined the design slightly, and added a "foot", so it's time for more pictures. The reason this tube came about is the surgeon who worked on my knee is retiring, over the last ten years we've kinda become "buds...

    Not new to cheese, but first attempt w/ new tool

    Because I have a hard time buying anything I can build, I present to you my first attempt at a smoke tube. It's roughly 2" around & 12" long. When I got it home, I filled it with pellets & put the Bernzomatic to it. It gave about 3 1/2 - 4 hours of smoke. Having proved it would burn out &...

    First attempt at an ABT rack

    Just got finished with this, pretty pleased with how well it came out, so gonna make at least one more. With a max capacity of 20, we all know it's not gonna make enough of 'em! :D The large holes are 1 1/16" (the largest the ironworker at work can punch) the small holes are 7/16" for smoke...

    Sous vide Prime Rib, it's what was for Thanksgiving

    This is a write-up I posted over in the BBQ (etc) section on Jeepforum of a cook I did for Thanksgiving last year. I did another for Christmas for the other side of the family. Both were very well received. I've simply copy-n-pasted the post and repaired one image link. Sorry if this is any...

    Been lurking for a while, time to participate

    Been smoking various things (meat, fish, cheese, cream cheese, butter... ) for a few years now, got introduced to Sous Vide about two years ago now. These two techniques probably account for 50% of our cooking at home, with the Traeger picking up another 25% or so. I've got a write-up I posted...
