    saint louise ribs on the gas grill

    the 3-2-1 method mentioned above means 3 hours on the grill rack, 2 hours on the grill wrapped in foil with a little liquid and then 1 hours back on the grill rack with no foil. You should sauce them (if desired) during the last 30 min of the 1 hour stage. Do a search for the 3-2-1- method on...

    Cast Iron Skillet Question

    Yep, I stumbled on her site a few years ago. I tried that method the next time I needed to restore a pan and have been hooked. Her thoughts on using a "drying oil" and about free radicals forming after reaching the smoke point of the oil made sense to me. I used to use bacon fat and I didnt like...

    Cast Iron Skillet Question

    its still good. I find that the "preseasoned " pans, well, aren't. Scrub it down with soap and water, dry it with a paper towel and set it on the stove over a low flame. Let it sit until all the visable water is gone plus 5 to 10 minutes.  Then you can season it yourself properly.  I like to...

    What do you Have??? Unusual Regional Food...

    Remind me to never travel to the Toledo area... Only "odd" thing I can think of around here is a smelt fry. Its kinda like going to the local bait shop and buying a few dozen minnows, fry them up and eat them whole. Tails and heads add the crunch. Quite tasty actually. Goes best with some cheap...

    Need Suggestions for Smoking Cheese in MES40 with AMNPS

    Its better to think that HOT AIR rises, not heat. My thoughts of having the ice on the bottom would be that it cools the air coming from the chip loader over the AMPS, making for a cooler smoke. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to throw a frozen water bottle up top as well if the ambient temps are on...

    Tomorrows ribs

    your kids will love them. I made them for the first time last weekend and I only had 3/4 cups of ketchup. I added 1/4 cup of my favorite bbq sauce and they were delicious! I'm making a second batch this weekend

    Mav Therm

    I picked up the 732 because I didn't want to deal with the on / off switch being in the battery compartment and the improved range.   You can also look at the 85 for less than a second 732. It has a single probe with 2 sensors. you can use that one to monitor 1 meat and the smoker temp, and the...

    Which One?

    soaked or not, it shouldn't take that long to get smoke. Are you sure your smoker is getting up to a high enough temp? As for the a-maze-n, I went with the pellet version. Best of both worlds, dust or pellets. I like the dust for cold smoking and the pellets for the warmer stuff. It fits...
