    Football Food

    GO CARDINALS! OK. I got that out of the way... I'm cooking a pork butt covered with Three Little Pigs Touch of Cherry, and a rack of loin back ribs that were on sale at S & F Tempe for $2.49/lb. I haven't got apple juice, but we seem to have a plethora of applesauce in cans, so...I'll let ya...

    I'm still around!

    I have been tied in to Arizona smoking for over 7 years. I was very active here until a couple years ago, when life got in the way of smoking and posting. I'll try to maintain my presence for a while. Smoking a butt and rack for the game tomorrow. Go CARDS! I started with an electric ECB...

    A different approach to what you want to find in a store near you...

    If you were to stock a barbeque store, what is the one item in each of these categories that would be imperative for you to carry? Assuming your item of choosing isn't available in your local HEB, Kroger, Safeway, Giant Food, Fry's, Ralph's, HyVee, Super Target, WallyWorld...you get the idea. A...

    What would you like to find in a local store?

    I'm wondering what you cooks across the country would like to be able to buy in a local store...be it sauces, rubs, utensils or other accessories. I live in Phoenix, but if I want products more esoteric than Shilling/McCormick or Sweet Baby Ray's or Stubbs, I have to drive 30 miles one way to...

    Bribery Brisket

    My boss really really wanted me to work the Saturday of the Prescott cookoff. I figured that I'd wind up working anyway, so I figured I'd try to get something out of it. I told him I'd work if he bought a brisket for me to cook for the crew. It worked! We went to RD Tuesday and got a 14#er...

    Independence Day

    Well this year for the 4th of July, I cooked 2 butts and a brisket on the smoker. I also fired up the Weber and cooked habanero burgers and brats. I posted the before pics of the brisket in the beef section, but got no after pictures. It must have sat in the cooler for 4 hours after cooking! I...

    I've been missing...

    I haven't been around on this forum much lately. First, I'd like to say thanks to all of the members whose wisdom in the realm of TBS I have harvested. Once I started smoking meats, I wound up on eight or more barbeque forums--or barbecue forums, depending upon your point of view. Irregardless...

    For the Pulte BBQ this weekend in the Phoenix area, Mike, the organizer of the azbarbeque events--he's a master at it!--has a midnight Appetizer Extravaganza. This year we had Elk Backstrap as well as the usual assortment of ABTs, wings, and chili. Being a southwestern desert rat pepperhead, I...

    My first DO/charcoal foray

    I got a nice fat 4.5 lb chuck roast yesterday at SafetyWay. (Safeway...) I don't usually shop there, and I base that solely on the price of ONE item!! Mrs. Renfro's salsa is $3.50 + shipping from their website, I find it for $3.60 at Albertson's, under $2.50 at Stupor Target. SW wants $4.95 a...

    Finally made a grate

    For my SnP... I'd have had it done earlier, but cutting expanded metal with a dremel... I thought I'd put sides on it, but that's moot. 15x26 inches, 6 inches at each end bent up. Eazzy squeezy! I had a 2x4 foot chunk of XM, so I have enuf left for a UDS fire grate. I have a donated pizza pan...

    My Allowance!

    Found a Brinkmann SnP Professional CHEEP! Went and got it today. I didn't think it had charcoal grills in the smoke box, but they were under 3" of ash! Legs all loose, guess I'll name her Eileen. If I find a "made in china" I'll change her name to Irene. Now I'll try to post pics. Hope they...
