    Pastrami time

    Finally decided to take my first shot at a pastrami.. I cheated on the curing part by picking up a 4 lb corned beef brisket. While it turned out great, next time I'll definitely start from scratch with TQ. Started off by soaking it in ice water for 5 hours, changing the water several times, to...

    First time Canadian bacon

    All the Canadian bacon talk has inspired me.. This is a 6# pork loin, rubbed up with TQ and into the fridge to cure for five days.. I probably should have trimmed off more fat, but it was already tied up so purdy, I just trimmed around to twine. Hopefully I won't regret that. Followed the...

    Brisket w/ Kosmo's Q injection

    I was lucky enough to get a sample of Kosmo's Q beef injection. http://kosmosq.com/ This is my third brisket, and while the first two were tasty, they weren't as melt-in your-mouth tender as I would have liked. A lot of that had to do with my inexperience with briskets, but I wanted to try...

    I just got wood

    Went to a local orchard and left with a tractor scoop of apple, a half scoop of cherry, and a half scoop of peach.. All seasoned since last year.. Just had to throw the owner of the orchard a 20.. Good times.. My chain saw and chop saw are getting a workout chopping it up into fist sized pieces..

    First pizza on the Weber

    I was able to talk Mountain Mikes into selling me some pizza dough, so I can't take credit for that.. A can of chef boyardee pizza sauce that I spiced up, hot Italian sausage, pepperoni, sliced mushrooms, and mozzarella.. Used a chunk of pecan for smoke, and locked it in between 425-450 for...

    Apple Pie on the Kettle

    If you can't cook it outside, then what fun is that? Started off with 8 or 9 home grown green apples.. Peeled, cored and sliced them to about 1/4 inch slices.. Mixed in 1 cup of sugar, 1 TBS flour, Lemon juice from 1/2 fresh lemon. and a pinch of salt.. Poured the mixture over store...

    2nd try chuckie

    First time around I pulled it to rest at around 200, and I couldn't get it to pull, so I sliced it.. Still good though.. So this time once it got to 205 I ditched the wireless thermo and did the fork-turn test every half hour until it was done.. That did the trick.. 3.25 lb chuckie, foiled at...

    Turkey boobs

    7.5 lber, brined for 21 hours, and it was a tad bit salty, for my taste.. not much, just a tad.. I used 1c Gal. distilled water, 1 cup salt, 1/2 cup sugar, and some seasonings.. Turned out very moist and tasty, but I might either reduce the brine time, or soak in water after the brine next...

    First time chipotle's

    Actually probably not technically chipotles, since I believe they use red jalapenos for those , but smoked jalapenos none the less.. Smoked them for 10 hours @ around 180 or so, until all the moisture was out.. Not sure what I'll do with it yet. Maybe make some raspberry chipotle sauce? any...

    UDS Cart Mod

    I've been looking for a good drum dolly, and just haven't been impressed with the quality of the ones I've come across online, so I decided to build one. I used a pretty thick gauge metal for a heat deflector, so hopefully that will suffice..

    First Meat Loaves

    Decided to make two 2 lb'ers and freeze one after it's cooked. Anyone ever done this? I don't see why it wouldn't thaw ok.. About two hours in, right before I glazed them They only took 2 1/2 hours @ 230-250 to get them up to 160.. The smoked flavor really kicked them up a notch, and...

    First Chuck Roast

    I changed it up at the last minute and marinated in teriyaki over night and just pushed in some Montreal Steak Seasoning and little garlic salt in the morning.. Got the drum dialed in at 225 with a mixture of oak and hickory and put it on.. Went and played golf and about 4 hours later it...

    Hello from Chico

    My name's Chris and I've been lurking for several weeks and have gotten a lot of useful information from the site. I'm new to smoking, and low and slow, but not grilling by any means. I recently bought a horizontal offset from Sears and I've smoked ribs, a small butt, a beer can chicken and of...
