    First attempt at cheese and my new cold smoke setup

    I put the cheese in a drawer in my beer fridge in the garage and kept forgetting about it. I finally remembered to get it out and do a taste test. (Sorry; no pics.) They were both very good. The smoke was very mild on both. The pepper jack took on more smoky flavor than the cheddar, though. All...

    Creamy Cheese Grits and shrimp Question?

My cold smoker is a Char-Broil smoker side box attachment that I picked up (NIB) off Facebook for $20. I got an aluminum duct the I cut. One piece...

    Worst Beer…

    For me, it was definitely Bud Light Chelada.🤮 I hate wasting things, but I had to pour that one down the drain. My usual go to is any cheap beer (Natty Daddy, Natural Ice, PBR), which, yes, is nasty by themselves. But, I will "flavor" it with a shot of some kind of liqueur like Triple Sec...

    Pulled Pork

    @Sven Svensson I've cut a few larger butts into smaller chunks. I haven't had any problems. I've smoked some, cooked some in sous vide, and just did one in the Instant Pot the other night. They've all turned out amazing.

    Pulled Pork

    Over the weekend I decided to throw a piece of butt in the ol' smoker. Here's the journey. (This process comes courtesy of @Bearcarver.) Wife bought a 9# shoulder butt from Costco. I cut it down to smaller portions, seasoned them, vac sealed them, then threw them in the freezer. I took this 3#...

    My first chucky

    I made this beef chucky over the weekend. I started with it in a water bath at 131 for 46 hours (Thanks to Bear). Then I put it in an ice bath for about an hour. Then into the smoker to an IT of 130 to get some smoky flavor and bark. It was tender, juicy, and delicious. It wasn't as tender as I...
