    Does anyone use a Cookshack Smoker ?

    It's your preference. I spray the meat while it's smoking sometimes, but you probably don't have to do it. If you do open the door, it doesn't take long to get the temp back up.

    Jerky to salty? Using High Mountain seasoning/Cure.

    I've always had success with the Hi-mountain, but obviously individual tastes vary. I would taste the seasoning on its own or with a fry test (and no cure) and see if you like it before cutting back on the cure. The cure is important. I've used the high mountain kits with my own seasoning or...

    Jerky question...

    I go by how it looks/feels after a certain amount of time. If you're curing it (I hope you are), just keep your smoker temp super low and let the meat dry. You're not cooking jerky, you're drying it, so you shouldn't have to worry about an internal temp (plus it's usually too thin, not even sure...

    Wicked Mac & cheese Q/view

    That sounds awesome and obviously, it was a crowd pleaser. We're a family that never throws anything away either. Thanks for sharing the great idea.

    Best in smoke

    Yeah, that was a bit ridiculous. Four hours? I would have gone for the salmon or the steak I guess. They have the magic of TV on their side, so they don't need to limit these chefs so much. Hopefully the cooks get more time in the upcoming episodes. Does Food Network know the definition of...

    BBQ Goes Hollywood -- Food Network's "Best in Smoke" competition airing in May

    I've got this on the DVR and I'm looking forward to it. I have a feeling Food Network, being a food-focused channel, will do things better than TLC did with Pitmasters. Plus, some of the smokers they put in the commercial for this show look pretty cool!

    Do you heat your brine?

    I was watching a show on Food Network - Big Daddy was the guy - and he put some pork chops in a brine, but did not heat up the brine. He even made a point of discussing why he didn't bother heating it up. I've always heated up my brines to help dissolve the salt. But, this does add about an hour...

    Smoking and weight watchers

    We're weight watchers. We like to do london broil, which is a pretty lean cut of beef, fish and chicken. Also turkey sausages are not too bad - the ones that we buy are uncooked and they are 3 points per link. Ribs and butts are not very WW-friendly, but really almost any other meat you can do...

    What NOT to use - Cowboy Lump

    I just bought a bag of lump I had never seen before - called True Cue. It was $7.99 at Home Depot. I used it last night to grill a London broil and I was very impressed. Lit easily, burned nicely and gave a nice flavor to the meat. I'm not sure if this is a Home Depot brand or what, but seeing...

    Unbelievable garage sale find

    Yeah, I was pretty psyched with the deal I got... Thanks Dude, good to hear from you too. I'll be around a lot more now. I got some sausage-making equipment over the winter and have been reading the sausage threads religiously. First time I try the low and slow on the Weber I'll be sure to get...

    Unbelievable garage sale find

    hey folks,  It has been a while since I've posted anything - I got a new job at the end of last summer and it's eating up all my time, but I'm not complaining. Love the job and I've still been cooking and checking out the site when I have time, just haven't had time to participate as much...
