    Under the sea - seafood tower(2)

    This was my submission to the April TD. Spread out shrimp before topping with a homemade chive cream cheese and then wrapped with half cooked bacon. One of the more time consuming parts is shucking the clams... don't have it down like my teacher did but I have gotten pretty decent.  I...

    I did a little searching and I couldn't really find specific answers... I'm curious what thickness everyone prefers to slice their bacon? I'm assuming thicker is easier to slice? I'll be slicing mine tomorrow on a friends small slicer and plan to put in freezer first to firm it up. Thanks for...

    AMNPS Placement

    I mentioned my issues with this when posting about a smoke I did but haven't yet had feedback so I figured I would put my question in the right spot!  I have an MES 30 Bluetooth and am unsure where the best place to put my a-maze-n smoker is.  I have done a lot of reading and I am not sure mine...

    First Poultry Smoke in MES

    I used to use a cheap charcoal smoker so the switch to an electric is quite the contrast.  I picked up some Turkey legs as well as a whole chicken to smoke together.  I first started with a brine that Chef JimmyJ posted in another post.  After allowing it to sit in the brine for about 28 hours I...
