    Ref; Price Alert!! - Pork Butt

    Savemart, a regional chain here has bone in butts at .88/LB. Good time to fill the freezer. The floods are going to change things down the road?

    First batch of cold smoked jumbo scallops.

    As Chef Jimmy said, if you can get dry scallops...so much better. But ouch!

    I finally found a Tri Tip My first Tri Tip cook ever

    Your end/corner cuts can be made to get more well done for her while the middle portions will still be somewhat edible for you. Tri tip became popular because it was good meat at about the price of ground beef. Actually, back in the day, they ground it. At $7/LB there are better cuts out there.

    Can I finish Ribs, Pork Butt, Brisket, anything in the oven?

    Once you get the desired smoke on the meat, your smoker is just an oven anyway.

    Can you mix meats on the smoker?

    The temp at which fat renders means you have no worries. Somewhere here there is a post from Chef Jimmy on this subject. Personally, I think pork fat on chicken tastes better than chicken fat on pork. LOL

    Best Charcoal Grill

    After you buy your Weber kettle, you could consider other options. My patio would be incomplete without one.

    Wild Hog Sausage = Red, Farm Raised = Pink

    From a person who knows absolutely nothing about wild hogs. I would guess the red color is due to the age and higher activity of the wild critters having created more myoglobin. Good luck and good smoking.

    Oaklahoma joe

    Not really a mod, just something you will want.  A good fire basket would be my first step. After that, I would do a couple of dry runs with a wired therm toward each end of the grate. Then you should have ideas of what you do or do not need for mods. Good luck and good smoking.

    Covered tray filled with ice? Will condensation form?

    Well, the AMNPS is a different animal.  From what I have seen I would assume it would run hotter and generate more smoke than the AMNS. In the small chamber of the Weber kettle, I just put the AMNS on the fire grate opposite the exhaust vent and close the exhaust vent about half way. Good luck...

    Never let your wife into your project fridge!

    Apple sauce and milk too? Easily enough room for 1/2 case of beer?  Maybe a case if placed properly? Good luck and good smoking.

    Turkey carcass terrine

    Normally, I would take the stuffing out and throw away the bird. Obviously I don't care for turkey. But.....yours is a dish that I would certainly try. Looks good! Good luck and good smoking.

    Covered tray filled with ice? Will condensation form?

    I use the older AMNS dust smoker, and 55 DEG would be no problem even in the small chamber of the Weber kettle I use for cold smoking..  No idea how much hotter the AMNPS might run? As to your wife?  How could anyone hate the smell of some freshly smoked cheese? Good luck and good smoking.

    Cool nights means Time to smoke cheese.

    Good job! Nice to have that going. A neighbor gave me three pounds of Gouda from his trip to the Netherlands. Monday I will smoke it either early morning or late night.  He doesn't know it, but he will get it back as a gift.  His family loves smoked cheese. Good luck and good smoking.
