    Help out a dumbie

    Maybe this will be useful to someone in the future….

    Forgot to bookmark a brisket rub recipe. Can you help me find it?

    Well, I could just kick myself! I mustered up the courage to tackle my very first beef brisket the other day. Searched the SMF and found a simple rub that worked out perfectly. I could not be any happier with the results. BUT, I forgot to bookmark the posting and now I can't find it! Augh...

    Canning red beans with ham hock, sausage and bacon

    Ball has an outstanding recipe for Louisiana Red Beans canned with ham hocks, smoked sausage and bacon. I've made this twice over the last couple of years and it is truly amazing. I made it with store bought bacon and ham hocks but used my homemade smoked Andouille sausage. The most recent...

    Canned beans

    I'm so jealous. You've done an outstanding job! I've had a ridiculously difficult time trying to grow beans this year. First real Summer garden in Central Texas and I've had a devil of a time keeping them alive. The ones I planted in the Spring died because of the heat in May. I planted...

    Pork Butts on sale at Aldi ($0.85/lb)

    My photo of the flyer says $0.85/lb. and that is what it rang up as, despite the $1.49 price on the label, which is apparently the current pricing in other areas. But, if you're in Texas, etc., definitely use the link above to check pricing in your area.

    Thanks, guys!! I'll spend some time reading the Cen-Tex gathering thread tonight. We might be able to move some things around and join you! I was talking to our neighbor a few minutes ago and mentioned this event to him. I'm sending him a link to the group and this specific thread. Maybe...

    Thanks, 5GrillznTN. BTW, Murfreesboro is one of my favorite places. We used to make a pilgrimage there every year in February for a big gathering.

    Moved to Central Texas from Southern Indiana a year ago this month. I had been smoking over hardwood charcoal, etc. for several years but translating those skills to TX wasn't working for me. Trying to manage the temperature and smoke level in all this WIND was just too much. Santa brought me...
