    Dogwood for Smoking

    Mmmm, Fresh pork, lots of fresh pork. Makes me think of sausage. After the pig is rendered into pieces; ribs, shoulders, butts ,hams and scrappel, and after everyone has eaten thier fill, the large chunks left over beg to be turned into something delicious. Something that will make you're lips...

    Dogwood for Smoking

    Hi, Sorry I didn't reply eariler but that stupid thing called work totally interfered. The smoke from dead, soaked dogwood is a gentle, sweet smoke. Subtle, not overpowering, it is especially good on game animals such as deer, bear and turkey. It's also good on pork and lamb, but in my...

    beer can chicken

    Hi prplptcrzr2003, Wow, what a name to spell. I have been hooked with the beer can, at my house we called it beer butt chicken, for several years. I don't think that anyone can do this wrong. It's almost foolproof, isn't it? Your method sounds like it would be a hit anywhere. I have used...

    VENISON SAUSAGE

    Hi Guys, I am no longer a hunter. I put my guns away in 1968 because I didn't have the heart to pull the trigger any more. My son hunts though, I taught him at an early age to both respect the weapon and the animal he hunts. I have made venison sausage many times, and the one thing that I have...

    Boston Butt, Spare Ribs and Beer!

    Hi Jaynik, That looks like a perfectly cooked butt to me. I bet it was mouth watering to taste and wish I had been there to try it. I don't know what your talking about with the skirt thing on the ribs or perhaps know it by another name...please refresh my memory. Also, I love your smoker...

    One of my electric smokers

    Hi all, Just wanted to show you all one of my smokers that I have. It was purchased from the Sausage Maker catagog a couple of years ago. I use this one only for smoking sausages. I like it because once you have the temp set, you can basicially leave it alone except to add more wood chips. Of...

    Dogwood for Smoking

    Many years ago and quite by accident, I stumbled on using dogwood to smoke meats. The dogwood here in Va never grows very large, as it is an understory tree and most of them die as the oaks, pines and hemlocks grow larger. The ones that I use for smoking are standing dead and very dry. Never...

    Thank all of you

    I joined this forum a few days ago and have spent a great deal of time reading the posts from all you other members. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time and to think, I thought I knew how to smoke! Fatties, ABT's, smoking implements I didn't even know existed abound in these...

    Smoky Mountain Meat Loaf

    Hi Ranger, My wife died last Dec and one of the things I miss most, besides her of course, was her meatloaf! She left no recipes for it and to be truthful, I haven't really been in the mood to try. Your Smoked Meatloaf has just pulled me up and I'm going to give this a try..Maybe next week end...

    Greetings from the Blue Ridge Mts of Virginia

    Hi All, I'm Georgepat, 59 and have been smoking meat and home made sausages for a long time. Since the smoke coming from someone else's smoker always smells better than your own, I decided to join this gathering of like minded souls where I could learn new and better ways of smoking. I have...

    CORNED BEEF TO PASTRAMI

    I have been making my own pastrami for almost 20 years and have never done anything special to prepare it. It tastes better than what I can buy in the local deli or market and over the tears have received many comments about how good it tasted. All I have ever done is to cover completely the...
