    Dutch Oven Breakfast

    Here's a recipe for another good breakfast. As written it is for a cast iron skillet in an oven but I've made it in Dutch ovens with no problems. https://www.halfbakedharvest.com/cinnamon-spiced-dutch-baby-with-cranberry-butter

    New Maverick ET-733 Question About Smoker Temperature Probe Setup

    Yeah, somebody could make money selling usable instructions for this beast.  I can't get it to let me set the alarm temps.  I made my living working with complex computer software so have a lot of experience figuring things out from poorly written manuals but I haven't yet hit on the magic...

    baffle for Oklahoma Joe Highland smoker

    My wife is adamant that the smoker is HER smoker since she bought it when my son and I were taking too long to make a UDS.  She's a PhD chemist so her smoking will proceed with full experimental protocols.  She smoked a couple chickens for her first try and left out the tuning plates to...

    baffle for Oklahoma Joe Highland smoker

    Thanks, all.  I found some 2" wide plain steel strips at a recycler, will cut them to 16" length & arrange to tune the smoke.  lots cheaper than the pre-made plate & more adjustable. Plan to smoke some chickens Sunday as a learning experience for the 1st use of this smoker after seasoning.

    baffle for Oklahoma Joe Highland smoker

    Has anyone used the following tuning/convestion plate http://www.horizonbbqsmokersstore.com/servlet/the-418/Convection-Plate--dsh--For/Detail for the OKJ Highland smoker?  It seems very expensive, esp. with shipping on the big hunk of metal, but I don't have access to metal working equipment to...

    48 or 60 ?

    I'm trying to decide between a 48" and 60" deluxe.  The 1k difference is painful.  I plan to cook mainly for home use, sometimes for church dinners (80-100 people) and a couple times a year in competitions (Pig Jig and Masonic Home for Children Homecoming).  The 48" is practical for most...

    Chimney diameter

    Another question - we have the smoke box almost done - just need to weld on hinges for the door and  a couple minor things.  The firebox is the next major hurdle - we haven't had any luck finding something of the right size and sufficiently heavy metal to use for a firebox.  We don't have ready...

    Chimney diameter

    I live on the edge of the floodplain of a lake that is fed by several creeks (commonly referred to as a swamp by everyone except real estate agents). Local laws prevent me from using a .45 to battle off the mega-bloodsuckers that sometimes come out of the swamp and the clouds of little 'squitos...

    Chimney diameter

    My son and I just bought a couple 55 gal drums and are planning to build a couple UDS's loosely based on the "Nelly Bly" smoker described on the Make Magazine website, but welding the components instead of pop-riveting them. They're going to be vertical smokers, external firebox connected by...

    Butternut Squash Cornbread

    Thanks for the advice.  All I could find quickly was a thumbnail, I'll make a better pic the next time I bake some.

    Greetings from Durham, NC

    You're probably remembering Bullocks Barbeque - www.bullocksbbq.com.  It's very near 15-501 & 70 and has been around forever.  It's now nationally famous.  We haven't had Obama stop in yet this election cycle but Joe Biden & his entourage ate there a while back. All the other old BBQ places are...

    Butternut Squash Cornbread

    This sounds a bit weird but it has become my favorite cornbread - more moist and a bit more flavorful than most cornbreads. Add bacon pieces or jalapenos if you desire but I think it is best in its unadulterated splendor. Ingredients: 1 cup stoneground cornmeal 1 cup AP flour 1 teaspoons...

    Can a Native TarHeel Living in Texas Join This Group?

    Yep.  We moved back to NC after only 3 years in Austin.  Calling dry, flavorless grilled beef  "barbecue" is a blatant attempt to hijack the name to give some cachet to a pitifully inferior product. Besides, we got tired of the telephone poles being taller than the trees. I did pick up one...

    Greetings from Durham, NC

    Hi, all   North Carolina Masonic Lodges have a long history of barbecue dinners and competitions to raise money for charity.  I'm exploring smokers and larger scale BBQing than we've done in the past to find out what my lodge would need to get started in competitions. We have a broad spread of...
