    Porky goodness and a big thank you

    Howdy all, I've not been able to comment much lately, but I've not stopped cooking.  This weekend I made my first Canadian bacon (apple) and it is delicious.  I smoked a sharp and mild cheddar, a mozerella, 2 wedges of manchego, a grand queso and a havarti (pecan and apple for all of them). ...

    Breaking in the new WSM

    Santa brought me a 22.5 " WSM for Christmas.  We had a snow day here in Nashville so I thought it would be the perfect time to try it out.  Our first contestant was a pork loin.  I rubbed it in a mix of dijon mustard, red wine, garlic and Dale's steak seasoning.  The taste test was pretty good...

    Cheese and the Food saver

    My sweetie got me a food saver for my birthday.  I got a chance to use it for the first time today and I have a question. I've seen lots of posts here where folks are using the food saver with softer cheeses.  How's that working for you?  The instructions explicitly say not to use it with soft...

    What a week.  Lost my wallet and caught a cold.  The remedy?  Pig and pie. Today, we smoked ribs, ribeyes, a turkey breast and a chuckie.  Made lemonade pie for desert.  Yummy!  I didn't get pics of the steaks, but here's the pig and pie. This is Sam.  She's sad because she didn't get...

    Today's smoke

    I got a whole yard bird and the wings of about a dozen of his closest friends going.  I brined them with some salt/water and Dr. Pepper.  Then I rubbed them with a mix of salt, pepper, garlic and oregano.  The whole bird has a can of soda up his backside.  This is the first time I've tried the...

Anyway, 2 racks of pork ribs, one of beef and 2 meatloaf are now in and will hopefully be done in time for a little late dinner tonight or tomorrow night. They say an artist must...

    What do you do during an "all night-er"?

    Just wondering what folks do when they've got to babysit the smoker overnight, especially if you're by yourself?  I'd like to sleep, but I've got a gas burner and don't like the idea of leaving it alone yet. Thanks
