    Getting a meat grinder and sausage stuffer for my birthday

    I have started making sausage and I did it all with my KitchenAid and yeah that was painful.  Looking now for a new stuffer. Congrats on the gifts.  So which are you getting?

    A good dry rub for a steak

    Jax that looks close to the same thing I do.  Though I have been known to substitute in Chili powder or even Chipotle powder instead of the paprika.

    Beer Can Chicken

    That definitely looks like an awesome bird!  I might not like the beer personally but that looks like a job well done!

    Beer Can Chicken

    That looks tasty but do you actually have a beer can in there?  I find I tend not to like the chicken as much because it takes longer to cook if I do the beer can.  Though some of that depends on the temp you are cooking the chicken at.

    Opinions please

    Now to disclose I don't have a reverse flow though I have researched it and maybe I slept at a holiday inn express last night.  One of the main things I understand about reverse flow is the advantage that it forces all of the smoke to circulate through more evenly.  As for heat retention I am...

    Smokin' in ILLinois

    Welcome to the forums, or from lurking I guess.  Definitely a keeper there with that girlfriend of yours.  I need to get myself a Weber Kettle as I love being able to grill like that.  I think my wife might shake her head at me though.   What mods did you do to your Smoke Hollow? NickyB

    Ready to learn

    Welcome to the forums.  That looks like a nice smoker, I had one like it when I started out as well.  I never did any mods to mine though as I started upgrading to quickly and mine was a cheaper Walmart brand that was really thin.  I also hadn't found this resource yet to try and find ways to...

    Peppercorn Pork Tenderloin w/ blueberry/apricot sauce

    Mmm that sounds awesome!  But yeah you are going to get some hate if you don't post some pictures of the awesomeness!  LOL As for not measuring anything I call it my way of protecting my secret recipes.  I have made my mixes in front of people and they always complain that when they try and...

    Awesome father's day present.  I got a new knife set.  But now that I know you are on the panhandle where would that be?  I might need to come use your log splitter!

    What do y'all think about oak?

    I love red oak and I normally mix it with hickory.  Other times I get pecan wood and that also has great flavor.  I get all the different varieties from a local wood yard in Pace.

    OH WOW! THE McRIB IS BACK!.....yuck.

    Before I really got into smoking I used to like the McRib, not release party like, but I would pick them up.  Now my interest is only because I have been planning on doing a vegetarian ribs and I want to know how then make them look like ribs.  I need a form or press I have been thinking. Nick

    Mango Slaw

    I had some Mangoes sitting on my counter and I didn't know what to do with them at first.  Then I decided I would throw them into a salad.  Then what salad ran through my head and I decided to put it together with some coleslaw.  Except this took on it's own category of slaw. Ingredients - 1-2...

    Tried out my Christmas Present today

    Did you give your smoker a seasoning run before cooking up the delicious looking food?  If not I would suggest you season it before doing to much more.  It make the meat so much better!  Plus there are still some things inside the smoker from manufacturing that should get burned off before...

    Does length matter?

    My wife says length matters... Sorry had to open with that.  Now to get out of the gutter.  In all seriousness length is going to matter because you are going to get the temp along the length of the probe.  If you have a short stem and it is only towards the outside edge of the UDS then it...

    Finally got it outside!

    Doh all these smoke houses recently.  Now I want one.  Here I was getting ready to do a fridge conversion and now I see all these people with this sweet looking (much like this one) smoke houses and it makes me want to put one of them out back of my house.
