    How Do I Get Rid of These Armadillos?!!

    Did you know that besides digging in and locking themselves in place, one of their escape/evasion tactics is to jump straight up when surprised/alarmed. And they can jump up to several feet high too. I vote for extermination as they're an invasive species, and their burrowing can be both...

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    Mmmmm, Competition Thighs! Now those are good eating and a pretty impressive amount of work goes into them. Plus they look fantastic when presented well. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/competition-chicken-competing-with-myself.278067/

    Should I smoke a while Chicken?

    Impress them with whole spatchcocked chickens. Heavily spiced and infused on a bed of herbs. Take the time to prep them via air drying their skin, then hot smoke them at 300°+, the higher the better for crisp skin.

    Are dried spices dried spices?

    In my opinion there are definitely differences. You generally get what you pay for with the better quality brands.

    Chile's Cornucopia of Cooks

    Thanks man. As you may notice, some found the Spiced Blackberry Sauce too vinegary. I can't recall if I modified the original recipe and reduced the vinegar? Hmmmm? But my solution was noted as, 'Halve the vinegar and add a 1/4c of sugar.' Damn it all! I see all my pics of that cook are...

    Show me your poor man's Cambro. What do you rest your meats in?

    I just use my normal coolers for the job as needed. I have'em from 6 pack to 120 qt size. Fill in the gaps with old towels, they stay piping hot for up to 6 hours or more.

    Pork Rind Question

    Unless you dehydrate by some means, you've got to get it dangerously hot to get that effect. Really increases the chance of a fire and/or burning the cracklins. I've spent days prepping to get the best and easiest cracking skin on pork belly or pork rinds. Air drying and salting 48-72 hours in...

    Anyone ever wrapped a pork loin around the bacon?

    Agree, bad consistency to the bacon. The idea about the fat is not gonna work either, the loin would be way overcooked before the fat rendered. Perhaps use lard?

    Just bought first offset smoker to learn on! Help me fix it...She's a cheap one

    This^^^ Don't worry about about a bunch modifications right now. Learn how to maintain a temp range, keyword: Range. I.e. don't chase a particular temp. Hopefully it'll have a relatively stable temp range it likes to fall into, e.g. 235°-265°. If it does, learn to cook in that zone.

    Ready For The Farmers Mkt

    Bread looks tasty, I'd probably buy some if I was walking by. As long as you're turning a decent profit, don't worry about undercutting the competition. Their steep pricing could be due to a lack of competition.
