    Jeff's barrel smoked chicken

    I was reading Jeff's latest email this morning. I also have forgotten how perfectly a drum cooker worked for chicken. Mine has been sitting under cover for about a year, forgotten as I played with other cooking toys. This weekend I am going to fire it up and hang some jerk seasoned chicken...

    Chuck Roast as hard as a rock......................

    I bought a beautiful CAB chuck roast on Thursday and Friday morning got it ready to smoke. I never looked at the weight but it was nice and thick and well marbled. I used my RecTec Bull this time rather than my Bronco pit barrel. While it was coming up to the temp. of 225° I seasoned the roast...

    Updated thoughts on the poor man's BGE, AKA Oklahoma Joes Bronco.

    I have been using the Oklahoma Joe's Bronco about 3-4 times per week now for a couple of months. For those that have not used it, I can best describe it as a hybrid between a Kamado Grill and a Barrel cooker. Anyone that has researched this cooker knows that there is pretty much universal...

    Poor Mans Big Green Egg, AKA Oklahoma Joe's Bronco Drum Smoker

    I have been using a Oklahoma Joe's Bronco for 3 months and feel that I am ready for a review. I call it a poor man's BGE because they both work as a smoker with a diffuser plate in and a grill with the diffuser plate removed. Obviously they are made from different materials. In brief, here are...

    BBQ Guru for Oklahoma Joe's Bronco

    I would like to adapt a BBQ Viper fan to the Bronco drum smoker. You can't do it at the top because of the screw there. I was thinking that I would remove the top half of the intake pipe which would leave the bottom section which is a perfect round. Not knowing anything about plumbing parts, is...

    Big Green Egg Question

    If you have the dual sided cast iron plancha griddle, does it take the place of the ceramic plate insert? Or, for indirect heat do you still need the plate?

    Stumps Baby question

    Good Morning, I have a couple of questions about the Stumps Baby smoker that only a fellow owner can answer. Quick background. I owned a Stump's Classic for 12 years and am very familiar with how a Stump's gravity feeder works. I sold the classic to downsize now that I am no longer doing large...

    Bear meat

    I while back I posted a picture of a bear I harvested. At the time I was still waiting for my new smoker and stated that once it arrived I would post step by step pictures of smoking the different cuts. We smoked racks of ribs using two methods. We made meatloaf with ground back strap mixed with...

    Some Briskets just can't be tamed

    My wife made some delicious sweet and spicy pickles this week. Nothing goes better with them than a Texas style brisket. I called around to the markets where I can usually get either a choice brisket or an Angus brisket. Only flats were available and I really like the fatty point. That meant...

    Venison with Alabama White Sauce

    Anybody try the recipe in Big Bob Gibson's BBQ book? Deer have been hard to harvest this year and don't want to waste an entire hind quarters if it is not a good recipe. So far my wife has had the only success. I have had the book for a few years and it was a fun read but, never tried any of the...

    Hot and Fast or Low and Slow

    Day one of bear season, I got mine at 6:35am. We quickly loaded it up and got it to the processor in less than one hour. Came back, my partner got his almost immediately. We both have plenty of recipes for the back strap, ribs, steaks and roasts. But, as I mentioned in a earlier post we are...

    It is close to midnight and the temperature is in the 40's. Your keeping warm around the fire pit with wife and hunting partner and his wife. You have had a multi hour discussion about the various stories of why Bourbon is called Bourbon and along the way an entire bottle of Blanton's has...

    Squash soup from a guy that thinks squash should only be eaten if starving and no lizards or rats are around to have instead

    My wife and I were skiing in Red Lodge Montana a few years ago and she had this disgusting (although I admit to not trying it) squash soup. Every time it turns cold she starts talking about soup and how she should make squash soup. YUK! Well, I stumbled across this food blog, Greedy Girl Cooks...

    Pulled Bear

    Bear season is just around the corner and I want to try something new. My hunting partner and his wife came by last night for dinner and we started discussing trying new ways to cook and eat bear. I thought that we should take a shoulder and instead of doing a smokehouse ham, why not cook it...

    Injection for venison roast

    I spent the last two evenings with my neighbor in our stand. So far all the deer we have seen have been to young, plus, so many bears hanging around keeping the deer away. But, I am confident that our luck will change. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone here has tried injections before smoking a...

    If you only had one book on BBQ

    Good morning. While I wait for my new smoker I have been satisfying my BBQ Jones through watching videos and browsing the internet for recipes. I have a large collection of cookbooks that fill a four shelf book case, much of them on grilling and BBQ. Most of them have been fun to read and to...

    Smoked Cow Tails, not for sissies, long with no pictures

    I am going to come right out and be sacrilegious, even though I live in Eastern North Carolina, this area has the worlds worst bbq, bar none. From corn pone, which is nothing but tasteless corn meal hard tack, to bbq shacks that seem to always serve side dishes out of can, to cooking whole hog...

    Tahiti Nue Special, not for sissies

    When I first lived on the North Shore of Kauai it was all country. One old wood plantation style store complete with wood sidewalk. One restaurant and one bar, the Tahiti Nue. We are talking thatched hut, no frills, Tiki bar ran by a Tahitian woman named Louise. Louise made an honest drink...
