Reheating bulk pork (in 2" and 4" inserts)
Hey all, Appreciate the help last week on my questions regarding how much pork I need for a big smoke. Got another question - for those that reheat bulk pork. What's the best temp? I will be storing the pork 2 days before the event so it will be refrigerated in 2" or 4" commercial pans/inserts... -
How much meat for 70 people (mostly men)?
Hi all, I am doing a smoke for about 70 folks. Mostly men. Will have sides along with the pulled pork. I'm thinking about 20-25lb's of shoulders/butts. Will that be enough? Smoking this on my WSM 19.5. Thoughts? -
What better way to start a New Year than to smoke a 15lb Brisket? Texas Style! Q-view link included!
Hey all! Lots of juicy brisket threads here. Love looking at all the Q-view so keep it up! Anyways, I finally got the time and courage to do my 1st brisket smoke. I've been reading and researching and watching videos of Aaron Franklin's brisket series and said let's do this! Here's my Q-view... -
BBQ with Franklin - Cracked Black Pepper - where do you find it?
So I've been watching some of the BBQ with Franklin videos and he uses 'cracked black pepper'. I am familiar with ground black pepper but cracked? If I took my grinder and tried to crack that much pepper it would take forever. So can you buy already cracked black pepper or something? Or would... -
1st time whole Turkey questions.

Uh oh. I think the cult of WSM is calling. :)
So I got a Smoke Hollow propane smoker about 2 years ago. Love love love it. Works flawlessly and I've had some great success with it. Well yesterday at a company tailgate party some coworkers had WSM's and I was asking questions and watching them and I found out that using the WSM is really...- valien

Getting ready to smoke my 1st butt this weekend. --- Now with QVIEW! :)
**Scroll down for QVIEW pics** So I've only done ribs and such. Had a blast. I'm going to try to smoke a small butt this weekend (thinking about 5 lbs or so). I read the pork sticky so I'm pretty confident all will go well. Any thoughts on a simple rub? I don't have anything at home but was... -
Boneless chicken breasts ok?
Got a few boneless chicken breasts that I'm thinking of throwing on the smoker tomorrow along with a 1/2 rack of ribs. Should there be any issues with the chicken? Going to rub it in the morning and smoke till internal is 165 degrees. Oh, just read another thread about brining. I've never done... -
To Rub or Not to Rub?
Hi all, Getting ready to do 3 racks of baby backs this Saturday for the family. I've done ribs twice before and have used a nice rub (Coach's Low Country rub). It does give a slight kick to the ribs (which I like). Here's my question - I was thinking of doing a rack or so without any rub... -
Do you clean your smoker?
Well, got a question and not sure what's the best method. Do you clean your smoker after a smoke? I've smoked a few fatties and haven't cleaned out the smoker at all (leave the burnt/crips stuff on the grill, etc). I figure it adds seasoning to the next batch... But is that bad? Should I be...- valien

Day after Thanksgiving Fattie (My 1st one!) w/QVIEW!
Had an absolute blast making and smoking a fattie today. I was so impatient. Kept wandering outside to look at the smoker ot make sure all was well.

1 or 2 lb's for a Fattie?
So, I'm about to embark on an appetizer fattie for tomorrow. Should I make it with 1 lb of JD sausage or 2 lb's? Filling will be pretty simple - probably some cheese and mushrooms and maybe some garlic/onion. Thoughts? ~V -
Calling all Smoke Hollow owners!
Hey, how many Smoke Hollow owners are here? I've done some searches and haven't found a lot of threads/posts from SH owners. I have a SH #3 (30", Model # 30169G). So far I like it, although I've only seasoned it. The construction quality seems solid, has nice space in it, etc. If you are a SH...- valien

Fatty on the horizon.
Well, swung by the local grocery store on way home tonight. Picked up 2 - 1lb JD normal sausage, 1 block of sharp cheddar, and 1 pack of bacon. I'm planning on rolling a fatty this week sometime. Cannot wait! Might keep it simple - cheese on interior or something only. Qview to follow... -

Callin all Filipinos or those that know Lechon or Lechon Kawali!
In the Philippines (grew up there) we have a wonderful wonderful dish called Lechon Kawalil (or just Lechon for short). It's pork that's crispy, juicy, and oh so succulent. The basic recipe involves deepfrying, etc. but I have also seen it cooked via a whole pig on a spit, etc. Anyone here try... -
