    Birthday Wings

    I'm the main chef of the family, so if I wanted a special meal on my birthday it was up to me, myself, and I. Out shopping yesterday and found a 10 lb bag of non-frozen wings separated for $1/lb and knew exactly what I wanted. Hit them with a small amount of chipotle dry rub and put them on...

    Smoked Boneless Thighs and a SV Eye of Round

    Trying to do more food prep in the new year so I can eat (somewhat) healthy and not have to worry about cooking after work. Had the idea to smoke a big batch of thighs after I pulled some previously smoked ones from the deep freeze and they were amazing. Combined this with a sale on eye of...

    July 4th Moink..oinks

    Fired up the egg for the long weekend, which included some ribs and an (as always) overstuffed fatty. The star of the show was the Moinks, although I'm not sure if they fit the normal definition. They were much larger than I am used to seeing on here, and I used ground beef and hot italian...

    Long Joke If You Have Time, I Apologize In Advance

    So, there's a man crawling through the desert. He'd decided to try his SUV in a little bit of cross-country travel, had great fun zooming over the badlands and through the sand, got lost, hit a big rock, and then he couldn't get it started again. There were no cell phone towers anywhere near, so...

    Souv Vide Roast Beef - Eye of Round the Right Cut?

    I found choice eye of round untrimmed for $2.49/lb so I jumped on it. I plan to sous vide half of the 7.5 hunk of meat for french dip sandwiches and save the other half for dried beef. I started looking online and saw more recommendations for top or bottom round roasts for thinly sliced "deli"...

    Spare Rib Saturday

    Had a couple racks of spare ribs that I bought on a sale a while back for $1.49/lb. Have a home project I'll be working on this afternoon so I figured why not get something on early this morning and have it for a mid afternoon meal. Trimmed the ends and the flap, but left the tips on the rack...

    BBB.... So Many Questions

    I'm learning a lot here thus far, and now I am ready to attack bacon in more ways than one. I have 2 pork butts and an 11 lb pork belly earmarked for bacon. The pork belly in my mind is straight forward; cure, soak, cold smoke, slice, fry, smile. BBB is another story. I am interested in...

    Have been eyeing up the beef stick/logs with TQ from Bear's Step by Step and finally received my sign that it is time to start, but one question for those that have done these before. I know Bear stated he uses 80/20, but the "sign" I received is chub packs of 73/27 on sale for 97 cents/lb...

    Large Disposable Foil Pans

    Not sure where to put this, so I thought I would try here... I am looking for some large (20"+) diameter disposable foil pans for my smoker. There are many times when I completely fill the grate and a standard rectangular or 12" round foil pan are not big enough. Even today I use a 16" pizza...

    Cold Smoke Questions - Pork and Beef

    I made a post in another thread where I prepped my dried beef and canadian bacon that my fridge was over a safe temp and it was garbage. Thankfully, it was just my ability to wait more than 5 minutes for the cheap thermometer to get to temp. So my next question as I hope to be ready to give...
