    1st attempt at ABTs

    A friend is having some folks over tomorrow to smoke some meat, drink beer, and sit around a fire. I decided to try some ABTs. My filling is hot Italian sausage, cream cheese onion and sharp cheddar. Wrapping with bacon dang near drove me crazy. Slipperyest things I ever handled. They look ugly...

    Costco brisket shocker

    I made a Costco run today. I wasn’t interested in buying a brisket since I have a couple in the freezer but just checking out the meat isle. Briskets were $8.59 a pound!!! Holy cow. The last one I bought was $2.49. Guess I will smoke what I have in the freezer and then be done with beef other...

    Need some help about safety

    Here is the quick version of what happened. I am new to sous vide, first cook. I put on two chuck roasts yesterday at 2:00 pm. I am using a very large aluminum pot (turkey fryer) since that was all I had. Temp was still dead on at 131 at midnight when I went to bed, so already 10 hours. Got up...

    3:30 Saturday morning

    Here it is. 3:30 Saturday morning, 25 degrees outside and I just put a 19lb brisket on the smoker. Got up at 3:00 to warm up the Pit Boss gasser. In 20 minutes it was up to 285 so I turned down the burner, added the meat and the amnps tray full of hickory sawdust. Temp is steady at 270 so I...

    Not seeing any posts in chat room

    Since the new format I can’t see any messages in chit chat. I figure it is just my feeble brain but I can’t imagine no one is using it. Any ideas?

    Port butt odd smell

    Bought a large bone in pork butt yesterday to cook today. It was cryovac wrapped and had 3 weeks left till date. When I opened it this morning I noticed a “unusual smell” not like spoiled but just a faint odd smell. At first I was going to toss it but convinced myself it was just raw meat smell...

    Injection question

    Tomorrow I am smoking a pork butt. I like to inject these and usually use an apple juice base. This time myself and one son are eating low carb so apple juice is out. I would love some suggestions for an injection. For the rub I will use an artificially sweetened brown sugar substitute.

    Extra thick baby backs

    Anyone ever see these? I found a rack labeled Extra thick baby backs. I am no rib expert but I haven’t seen these before. I don’t usually buy baby backs but these had at least 1.5 inch slab of meat on top of the bones. I would like to be able to find some more. They were killer

    My favorite smoked meat picture!

    A couple of weeks ago my son, daughter-in-law and grandson were going to be in town checking on progress at the house they are remodeling next door. I decided to smoke some ribs for supper. Went to Krogers and found 3 racks of St.Louis style and 1 rack of extra thick baby backs (which I had...

    What have I done now

    I wasn't thinking clearly when I agreed to step in for our church's usual cook and do pulled pork sandwiches, beans, potato salad and slaw for about 50 people. Now that I have thought about it I am kind of freaking out. My smoker has four shelves so I am limited as too how much I can smoke at...

    Sour Dough Pancakes

    I know this is not bread but I couldn't find anywhere else to put it. Growing up, my mother kept a sourdough starter she had for years. When I left home she passed some starter on to me, along with some recipes. Some friends and I would often play basketball on Sunday afternoon so they would...

    I have been too busy to work the smoker for several weeks., My wife had knee replacement surgery and I had taken over the domestic duties as well as driving her to Dr visits and therapy. Since she is doing well I decided to give the smoker a workout last Saturday. I went and bought a whole...

    Do you clean your smoker?

    If so, how? How thoroughly? This has not been much of an issue for me in the past since I was smoking 1 or 2 items at a time I would just put a foil pan under to catch the grease. My last smoke was 4 racks of ribs and a Brisket flat. 2 racks of ribs with just a little trim completely fill a...

    Well, I made it!

    Wednesday was my last day at work. Never thought I would make it. I'm looking forward to more time spent with the smoker and trying to improve my skills, and more time on SMF.

    Has anyone ever seen this?

    One of my sons gave me this. He knows I like unusual things to eat. It came from an Amish store I think. I’ve been trying to think of a use for it since it’s way to hot for normal jelly uses. I am cooking ribs today and had some trimmings that were ready early. Then it hit me. Hot pepper jelly...
