    First Shot at Ribs

    Bought a couple of racks of spare ribs, and ran them through the GOSM using the 3-2-1 method, modified to more like 2.5-2-1 mothod I was hitting them with an apple juice spritz about every 20 - 30 minutes during the 2.5 phase, then doused them with some sauce a few minutes after un-foiling...

    My First Pulled Pork Butt

    Started at about 0800 hrs this morning. I rounded up most of the ingredients to generate a decent version of one of the rubs I found on here. I bought a second digital therm (wireless...awesome), so partway through I decided to mount my wired therm inside to figure out how close the stock...

    Victoria Day Weekend Smoketravaganza!

    So Canada has a long weekend, and we are having a little get together (15 - 20 mouths), and I have been tasked with generating vittles for the crowd. My menu thus far looks like this: 3 x smaller (4-5 lb) picnic shoulders (for PP sammies) 1 or 2 x chicks whatever room I have left I intended on...

    Looking for a rub recipe

    I know there are a couple of things you cannot ask a fella: 1. Can I borrow your deer rifle? 2. Mind if I kiss your wife? 3. Can you tell me your rub recipe? So I'm not asking for specific measurements, but how about some ingredient ideas? If I let my kid decide, it's going to consist of...

    Three Little Birds

    Fired up the GOSM this morning and put three chickens on. I didn't do a whole pile of prep, but laid on a rub that will hopefully work out ok. Put the 8 year old offspring to work, and she came up with the following rub ingredients: Garlic powder (LOTS) Paprika Chili powder Sea Salt little...

    I'm going to try my hand at venison snack sticks this weekend, and was wondering if anyone had a tried and true recipe? I plan on using ground wild boar and venison (50/50?)

    First shot at jerky

    OK, so I know if there are no pics it never happened, so... Once upon a time, a handsome young prince named Chopper sliced up a moose roast, and a beef roast to make some jerky. He marinaded it overnight in a concoction he assembled from numerous recipes he found on a website he likes to...

    Two Firsts!

    First smoke in my new GOSM, and my first turkey! Not very many pics as I had a bunch of other stuff on the go. In the last pics, you will notice lots and lots of liquid. This came out of the bird after I took it off the rack. Is that normal? It tasted great, but there was a lot of moisture lost...

    Quick Turkey questions

    Smoking a turkey today in my new GOSM and have two last minute questions: 1 - do I give it a "drying time" before adding smoke? 2 - Where do you all put the therm? Breast / Thigh?

    My First Fatty

    OK. So I thought I would just dive head first into this whole "Smoking Lifestyle". After only having run a few batches through my Char Broil, I thought I would give a Fatty a try. My daughter and I put this little number together tonite, and will be smoking it over the weekend.

    Moving to gas

    I have run a few smokes through my Char broil, and I'm less than impressed with it. Making trips out to check the fire every 15 minutes ain't doing it for me. As well as the unit seems incapable of keeping up with -25C temps. And since the majority of my year is spent below freezing, my rig...

    One more quick one

    Do I need to add tenderquick to all sausage? And is tenderquick the only brand name, or is it known by other handles? I know this is probably painful for some of you guys to even read!!!

    Newbie question

    I've just got myself a Char Broil, American Gourmet offset smoker / grill / bbq. I've got one batch of venison sausage through it, and they are ok...not great...but ok. The first few of what you can expect to be many questions from me is how long can I expect a batch of charcoal to burn for...

    Howdy, from Alberta Canada

    Hello all. Am I ever glad I was directed here! I just bought a Char-Broil Grill / BBQ / Smoker, and I've run exactly one batch through it. It didn't turn out badly, but I am sure looking forward to some professional input!
