    Pasteurization Charts Discrepancy

    Good morning! So lately I have been enjoying the benefits of SV'ing my smoked sausages. I can honestly say that I cant imagine ever going back to not using the SV. I enjoy it so much, I bought a second SV for back up. Normally, I use a standard 32-35 mm hog casing. I have used recipes from...

    YardBird Green Chile Enchiladas..

    So this evenings dinner was a combination of needing to use the number 2 bird out of a two pack, and already having the other ingredients. I parted the chicken out, removing all skin. I wasn't too concerned with the wings, being so tiny. I didn't bother to season the chicken in any way...

    Friday BabyBack Ribs..

    Been a while since I posted. Life just has a way of getting in the way. Moving along, I decided a couples days back that I wanted some Baby Back Ribs. Not sure that I have ever smoked them before. I put them in the smoker around 11 AM. About 265 with Apple Wood. Thought I would try smoking them...

    Wings and Sausage

    Kinda limited on the Q-view, been a busy day here on the "farm". Bought 2 packs of drumettes and a pack of andouille sausage. One pack of wings was rubbed with our usual family recipe rub. The other pack rubbed with brown sugar. Everything went in the smoker at 2 PM.

    Leftover Rib = Faux Pulled Pork

    It all started with some leftover Fathers Day ribs. St Louis to be exact. And I have to say I like my Faux PP, better then the real thing. Or maybe I need to try the real thing more often? I dont know.. The real kicker for me on this was the amount of bark. By using ribs, the surface to mass...

    Smoking Ribs Nekkid - Anyone?

    Knew I would get your attention. So Im thinking on my next ribs, no rub. So no sauce, no rub, no foiling. Anyone else do this? Im curious as to whether or not the rub is blocking smoke penetration. Maybe add some rub towards the end.. perhaps toss them onto a hot grill to get to a point of...

    First packer, with qview..

    Hey guys, Im back, I think the last time I posted was way back around 2009. Life got hairy so I haven't been paying my respects to the smoker. But I will say things are looking up. Last Sunday I smoked a small brisket, really just a point. I think it was maybe 3 pounds. Never had done one and...

    Wednesday Ribs and Chicken

    Wednesday turned out to be quite a productive day on the smoker for me. I learned a few things, tried a new rub, and overall, dried out some fine meat.. oh well. Well, dried out according to me. I prefer a wetter rib, but thats ok. Once you peeled back the crust the meat wasn't bad at all. So...

    Royal Oak observations

    Hey all, newbie here. Being that I couldn't find too many threads on the Royal Oak, thought I might start one. This (hopefully) will include my observations and modifications to turn a "ho-hum" electric smoker into a respectable piece of backyard equipment. I plan to update this as often as...
