Obviously.
1) I didn't "misquote" you.
2) I missed the change from 1 Kg to 1 Lb in the second listing. A simple oversight on my part. I'm sorry that a simple error causes you to feel slighted.
3) The dig on "hot links" was a part of the ribbing.
Sorry, I didn't know you had such a...
Wow...you're even more sensitive to good-natured ribbing than you are to spice. Did you miss the big ol' grin at the end of my post following the "but I'm from TX" comment? I assumed most people would understand that as a sign that I wasn't exactly being terribly serious.
What type of "chilies" did you use? Unless they were at least equivalent to habaneros on the Scoville scale (or hotter) I don't see this producing anything resembling "heat" when added to 2.2 lbs of meat. Don't get me wrong, this sounds like a recipe that would create some tasty sausage. But...
Thanks, it was...and is even a little better now after a couple days in the fridge. I will say that I believe I'll cut back on the wine just a smidge next time. There's a hint of fruitiness in the "gravy" that, while not unpleasant on its own, is out of place in a savory dish like stew. Other...
I visited several local Hispanic markets last week looking for some cabrito (kid goat meat), but everybody was fresh out. Instead I managed to find some nice oxtail, so I grabbed 3 lbs of it and called it a good outing. I've never cooked oxtail before, but since the weather here in N. Central...
I bought the Ivation dual-probe a little over a month ago and after only 3 uses the food probe failed completely. I contacted the company about it 8 days ago and received a prompt reply apologizing and saying that they'd ship me a free replacement by EOB the next day. After having still not...
Your math is flawless. I was rather surprised myself...and really tired after sleeping downstairs so I could wake up every 2 hours to check the temp and spritz w/apple juice.
It turned out well though. Not quite as moist as I wanted, but not dry either.
ETA: Upon reflection I'm thinking that...
I just pulled my first pork shoulder (an 8 lb butt) out of the smoker after hitting 195F at 7:30 AM.
I put it in at 9:30 AM yesterday.
I went with the usual 225F for the first 12 hours, but with 50 degrees still left to go before hitting the target I bumped the smoker up to 250F. That didn't...
...to all those here who have at various times in various threads posted the water-pan-full-of-play-sand tip for stabilizing smoker temperature. The wild, seemingly uncontrollable temp swings I struggled with the first few times I used my SV24 really tested my patience, and were taking a lot of...
Thanks. I picked up a bag of play sand tonight that I plan to put in the water pan for my next smoke in an attempt to stabilze the temps a bit. I'm hoping it will at least keep the swings lower than 20 degrees in either direction.
I stayed pretty basic for the rub:
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp black pepper
1 tbsp paprika
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp cayenne
1 tsp cumin
2 tbsp brown sugar
Then a good spritz of apple juice once every hour. I also kept no more than one chunk of mesquite in the pan at a time...
BTW, here is what the results after 6 hours at 215-250 (it was cool and breezy yesterday, and the temperature fluctuated a lot between those two points) looked like:
Given how juicy and fall-off-the-bone tender they were I'm really questioning the value of the 2-hours-in-foil portion of the...
