Hog dimensions.
My family does a pig roast every year, traditionally in a Caja China box. I find this cooking method rather bland. So, I want to smoke a whole hog. And since I am going to smoke a whole hog, I need a new cooker Right? Thing is I don't know how large a whole hog is. Does anyone know if there is... -
Smoker around $200.
Thank you for the reply. I was afraid of your answer. There are a lot of smokers out there, and I was looking for one that can burn wood, what is the cost entry point for one that is worth having? Can you recommend one?- toddzio

Smoker around $200.
I just moved to Texas, and while smoking on my Weber Kettle made some good BBQ, I want to step up to an offset firebox. Though at this price point, "step up" may be a bit of a misnomer. My local HEB has a Char-griller Smoking Pro on sale for $160.. I looked up some mods and for $30 or less I...- toddzio

Mini Smoke House??
Better safe than sorry. I know my hardybacker is safe for use in interior spaces as a fireplace surround, so I believe I am safe. I guess I will just have to wing the rest.- toddzio

Mini Smoke House??
Did you ever figure out the correct opening sizes for your smokehouse? I was thinking about making one about 3x3x2 out of some sheets of hardyboard and some lumber I have laying around. Using a hot plate as a heat source and AMPS for smoke.- toddzio

turkey grill/smoked fail.
Thanks for the suggestion, I will start recording my cooks, which I have never done before. I assume you use these thermopens to monitor the temperature of the food, what is the best way to monitor the temperature of the air surrounding the food? I have done the turkey the same way for... -
turkey grill/smoked fail.
This year I did not get home early enough to purchase or brine the turkey myself. My mom purchased a turkey from Fresh and Easy, and used an add salt brine mix. My mom insists the turkey be stuffed. I grilled/smoked the turkey on the webber kettle at about 325 for 15 minutes a lb. Basting... -
Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?
Well, I figure if they can be used as a backing for a fireplace, which is inside a house, they must not off-gas anything toxic. And as long as there are no exposed fibers, I don't see how you could get any into your food. I have used 1/4 Hardie backer before, and even when it cracked...- toddzio

Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?
According to the James Hardie company, Hardie backer can be used in a masonry surround of a fireplace. I would assume that this means it is safe to be heated to a fairly high degree. http://www.jameshardie.com/developer/fire_faq.shtml- toddzio

Hardie Backer/Plank for Smoke House?
I have a bunch of hardie board laying around from an aborted bathroom remodel. I would be very interested in seeing your build. I was thinking about doing a double skinned thing with hardie board on the inside and thin plywood on the outside with an airgap in between. I had not figured out...- toddzio

God gave me bacon, Nature's candy
A good place for pork bellies is the Meat Shop on 202 East Buckeye Road Phoenix, AZ 85004. That is where I bought my bellies the last time I made Bacon. I don't remember the exact price, but 12 lbs came out to just over $30. And they will let you specify what you are looking for in a pork... -
Jalapeno or other spicy Bacon
Hello all, I am new to the bacon making thing. I have made about 10 lbs of Bacon once before the summer heat kicked in. As soon as it cools down, I would like to make another crack at some gourmet bacon. I am looking for a recipe for Jalapeno or other spicy bacon. A friend of mine who is a... -
Hello From Phoenix AZ, where I can smoke w/o fire!
I come from the Valley of the Sun, where I can smoke without fire, and cold smoking really is not an option! I have dabbled in smoking, and done a lot of grilling in my time. I have smoked on a Weber Smokey Mountain- a few turkeys, some chicken, a few racks of ribs. I made some bacon last...
