    skin on or off?

    For all the years I have spent smoking meat, I have done very little poultry. I plan on smoking 4 whole chickens tomorrow. I have them in a brine right now.and plan on taking the backbone out and laying them flat. Probably going to do a mix of apple and hickory. I figure I will cook them at...

    burn out

    Long time no post. Good to be back.. I have decided to join the world of the UDS. One question. I am using a barrel that once contained methanol. I am positive that it has a coating on the inside. So, I cut the top off and drilled my 4 vent holes in the bottom. I have now LOADED it full...

    Planning the build

    I have 1 55 gallon drum and access to 4 more right now, as many as I want as long as I wait for them to empty.  I have been looking at a few of the builds on here and I have a question before I really start the plans.  The answer will decide which I make, horizontal or vertical.  How many racks...

    Regarding meat stalls.....

    It never fails.  Every time I come here I see a "why is this taking so long" post.  Hey, in the beginning I was guilty of it also.  I've been doing some reading up on the topic and have found a study regarding the meat stall.  Not sure if this has already been posted some where, but I think...

    Venison ham? Sort of...

    I have a 2lb chunk of venison that came from the hind quarter that I want to make in to a "ham".  I have search the intarwebs and this site but couldn't really find what I wanted to know so I am winging it based on some of the information I found.  Hope I don't screw this up.  I need your...

    Baptism Butts

    Good evening all, It's been a long time since I have posted some Qview (and smoked a butt), so I figured since I am in for the long haul tonight, I might as well go for it. Sunday is my second son's baptism so I decided to do a couple of butts for the lunch afterwords. Starting with 2 butts...

    I have spoiled my son......

    Two weeks in a row now the family and I have gone out for breakfast.  My son has ordered pancakes and when asked "bacon or sausage?" has always correctly answered bacon.  However, after taking a few bites of the bacon, he decides that he doesn't want it anymore.  When this happened yesterday my...

    What to expect...

    I have been working on my rib recipe (Back, Spares, and Country Style) for probably 8-10 years now.  I feel that I finally have it down to where I want it, including rub and sauce recipes.  So I think it might actually be time to take the next step and try a competition.  I know that Sams club...

    Backyard Classic Professional

    So, I had absolutely no need for a new grill, but my sister had the opposite opinion.  She felt that I did not have enough surface area on my Weber (made the decision when she saw me trying to cook for my sons second birthday party).  I only cook large quantities maybe twice a year.  Anyway, she...

    low sodium snack sticks

    I haven't been very active on here for a while.  Still been smoking, just haven't been posting the qview.  Now that deer season is over here in Wisconsin, it's time to start thinking about sausage! I have one problem with sausage this year.  My father-in-law had a heart attack back in October...

    2nd Birthday suggestions

    I need some suggestions on what to cook for my sons second birthday party.  Last year I made about 15 lbs each of pulled pork and brisket.  I don't really want to repeat what I did last year.  I am expecting about 20 people at the house. I was thinking spares, but I'm not sure about the whole...

    smoker cleaning

    How often do you guys clean your smokers?  I clean out the bottom and the racks after every use, but I never wipe down the sides and such.  The reason I ask is because the cheese I am smoking today has drops of "liquid smoke" on it.  I looked at the roof of the smoker and it is dripping. I...

    Tasso and Buckboard

    I finally convinced a friend of mine to buy a crockpot.  (He should have gone with a smoker, but he lives in a condo with no access to the outdoors without a walk)  He was asking me what he could make and I suggested that he does some pulled pork.  I have never personally done it in a crockpot...

    Show me your spread!!!

    The day is finally here.  That was a long 2 weeks for the folks here in Wisconsin, no football and lots of snow. Lets see some photos of everyones Superbowl spreads.  Mine will be nothing like what I have had in years past, but I am more concerned with the game this year.  Don't want to keep...

    Gift for the neighbor

    I have a neighbor that does things for us from time to time without us asking.  Stuff that just makes life easier for us.  For example, a couple of days ago we were smacked with a blizzard.  I was about to walk out to spend a few hours of removing 18 inches of drifted snow, when all of the...

    Really? Am I Crazy?

    So, marinated chicken breasts and hormel marinated pork tenderloin were on sale at the grocery store yesterday.  I figured what the hell, a lot of the work is done for me!  Unpackage, throw it in the smoker, and have a good dinner.  The smoker has actually started to replace the grill lately, I...

    Bacon Fest

    Has anyone out there been to Bacon Fest?  Here is the link.  http://baconfestchicago.com/ I have contemplated going the past 2 years, but have never made it.  From the looks of it, it costs $65 for a ticket.  I can make a lot of bacon for that and have my own bacon fest.  So I want to know if...

    First attempt at Bacon / Canadian Bacon

    You guys and your bacon posts,  Look what you made me do! I went to the store and bought a 11.5lb pork belly and a 9lb pork loin.  I was going to remove the skin from the belly, but after a few minutes into it, I scrapped the idea.  I don't relly like skin on anything, so hopefully it will be...

    2011 venison sausage

    Doe to my lack of harvesting a deer, I was not able to make any sausage last year.  So I was pretty eager to make some this year!  The deer was small, but the meat is great.  I also purchased a large quantity of high temp cheese (5lb) which will last a really long time, considering that I only...
