    Been gone a while - Just wanted to let everyone know what I was up to!

    Daughter actually but I understand the confusion. We went with gender neutral names and like stronger names for girls names. :)

    Thanx Guys. Hoping to get in at least 3 or 4 good smokes this year and will certainly post when I do.

    Hi Guys, It's been a while since I've posted. In the time since I have last been on I have lost my job, started building my Real Estate career full time, had a child (Riley Quinn, now 4 months old) and most recently started a blog. Unfortunately with everything else going on my time to spend...

    Tasso Ham with QView

    It definately had a hammy taste but was sweeter than many hams I have had and had a little bit of spice to it. The rub he used had a number of spices including mace and cayenne pepper and while the rub didn't penetrate the meat you got a good taste of it in almost every bite.

    Tasso Ham with QView

    Thanx Fife, Thanx Dude. Yeah. I'm still picking up part time work from video production/post work. Probably 1 day a week, at a higher pay (of course) so I think that we will be OK, however not being full time and having that forced on you makes you a bit nervous. I'm sure there are many on this...

    Tasso Ham with QView

    So a few weeks ago I wander into my local butcher who I have become very friendly with and one of the butchers asks if I have ever heard of Tasso Ham. "No clue" I respond. He goes on to tell me how a friend of his wants him to make Tasso ham for him and he has a recipe. Knowing I have a smoker...

    Pulled Pork Chili - With Qview (of course)

    Hi Deuce, Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. Usually a 6 # pork butt will yield approximately 4 # of meat after trimming and cooking. The recipe I put on here used about 2 # of meat. It yielded at least 6-8 servings. If you are serving at a party you could probably stretch that to 10...

    Pulled Pork Chili - With Qview (of course)

    Yeah, it's getting cold out. Definitely Chili time. Love Cinnamon in Chili. Started using that about 2 years ago and now use it all the time.

    Pulled Pork Chili - With Qview (of course)

    A couple of weeks ago I posted up my most recent Pulled Pork. Came out pretty good (and was fast too). You can check it out here. Out of 2 pork butts we had about 2 pounds of PP left. Not bad considering there were only about 12 people at the party. I froze the leftovers and decided to make...
