    Meat from Food Lion (If you have one near you)

    So I took the little one out this morning to do our grocery run. Food Lion had $1.49 pork butts so that was my first stop(they were .99 last year, but that is as cheap as I've seen em this year). I'm outta Q so it is time to smoke something. Then I hit lowes foods cause that's the only place in...

    Educate me on brisket

    I've smoked those little flats, and done pastrami outta the cured ones. Ya'll know I like to live on the cheap side so I picked up a 10 pound one today(about 2.50 a pound(just select grade)). So educate me on what I bought. Is this a packer brisket? If nothing else i'll grind the whole thing for...

    been sawing wood for a couple days

    Brought down a huge oak in the front yard.  I know all the Q joints back home smoked with oak.  This is a laurel oak, is it suitable to smoke with or just campfire wood? Many thanks Rick

    Anyone thinking about the north fl gathering?

         If I don't get a better option, I plan on renting a car and making the drive.  Anyone wanna carpool?  You drive and i'll buy the gas.  You ride and i'll split the gas.  Drop by and pick me up and i'll pay for all the gas.......  Just wanting to get there.  Still a month or so to think about...

    jerky from Walmart?

    It's too cold to smoke anything, but I did see they had all the hunting items on clearance at walmart (while looking for ammo) and that included the jerky seasonings.  Are any of these worth trying?  I rarely try these kind of things, so i'm curious.  Anyone have experience with this? Rick

    Cabbage and Tomato Casserole

    Since it's mater season and most of us have more than we need right now it's a good time to put this up. This is an old "country" recipe given to me many, many years ago. I make it as a side dish several times during a season. The fine lady who gave me the recipe leaves out the olives so I do...

    speckled trout?

    I have fillets off of four fish and thinking about smoking them.  I've never smoked any fish before.  Should have prolly left the head and skin on if I was going to smoke, but too late for that.  Fish were 16-18".  From what i've read I should brine, let pellicle form in fridge, then smoke. ...

    Grilled pork loin

    Giving the smoker a break and doing a loin on the grill tonight.  Gave this guy a light coating of mustard and a heavy shake of weber's chicago steak seasoning (I don't care for it on beef, but it works great on pork).  Got a little color on the fat side then up on top to cook over low heat...

    New smoker from the coast of NC

    Hey guys      Rick here, from Holden Beach, NC.  Moved down from the mountains last year, was time for a change of scenery.  My better half was kind enough to find a little smoker on craigslist for me to look at.  I wasn't looking for one at the time, too busy remodeling the house.  For 15...

    First Chicken Attempt

    Lazy weekend here so I threw a couple birds on to cook topped with a few slices of bacon and a slice of pineapple (thanks Phil).  Made a few japs while I was at it and a pot of Dutch's beans (thanks Dan).  I know this little cooker isn't the best, but for $15 it'll work for a while.  Still...
