    Getting back at it, smoking wings

    Haven't used the smoker in a good 2 or 3 years (or maybe I should say a bad 2 or 3 years). Going to do some wings. I plan on smoking dry and then adding hot and BBQ sauce after they are cooked. My smoker only gets to 275°F. Will that be hot enough to get a good crisp or should I throw them...

    Baked Beans

    I'm making this right now.  The sauce is great.  I used a little less than 50oz of beans but it still seems like way too many beans.  I mixed it all together and the sauce doesn't seem to cover even 50% of the beans.  How am I doing this wrong? lol Edit: Just finished cooking my ribs.  Not sure...

    Fridge temp of chuck roast

    I'm pretty sure I know what 98% of everyone will say but I just need to ask.  I bought a nice 5lb chuck last night for today.  This morning I came down stairs to find my fridge door cracked open.  The chuck was on the edge of the top shelf so it was closest to the door.  I took the internal temp...

    Cooking brisket in oven

    I'm having a few people over on Saturday.  I would love to take out my smoker but I have about 2.5 feet of snow covering my deck.  Just not feasible to bring it out right now.  What is the best way to do it in the oven?  I'm most likely going to go with a small point. I'll probably do potatoes...

    When and when not to use a cure?

    What temp do you smoke it at and for how long? It seems like if you use a salt based marinade (like soy) and make sure it is out of the danger zone within 4 hours, it would be fine. Store in fridge or freezer for longer.

    When and when not to use a cure?

    I believe all LEM seasoning has a cure in it and that is what I most likely would be using if I got the cannon.  I just wanted an option for friends and family that don't like having nitrites. How long would jerky last with and without it?

    When and when not to use a cure?

    I'm new to making jerky.  I made it once years ago using the Alton Brown method.  It came out ok.  I think I dried it too long.  I want to start making it more now.  Since I don't have a dehydrator (yet) I will be using either my oven or smoker at around 160°.  I do plan on buying a jerky cannon...

    Smoked then dehydrated beef jerky

    Looks great.  I made my own jerky years ago (probably 7 or 8).  I used Alton Browns method by putting sliced meat on a furnace or AC filter and attaching it to a box fan to dry out.  I want to make it again so I started to research more about it.  Knowing more about cooking meat out of the...

    Brisket cooking extremely fast

    Thanks.  I'll go check it again now.  I will be putting the point back in with more rub and some of the liquid to make burnt ends.

    Brisket cooking extremely fast

    I bought a 14 pound packer brisket at the butcher yesterday.  This morning I got up at 6am to start prep.  I trimmed the fat and removed the silver skin.  I injected with beef broth.  I spread a nice rub on it.  Smoker was cooking a little high (250*).  After about 2 hours it was already at...

    First attempt at smoking chicken thighs

    This came out great.  I had skin on some and removed the skin from others.  The skin didn't get crispy because I put the sauce on before putting them in the broiler.  Next time I will probably crisp it and then add the sauce. I will load a picture soon. The sauce recipe is 1/2 cup diced bacon...

    First attempt at smoking chicken thighs

    Thanks everyone.  I have about 5lbs (there were on sale and couldn't say no).  I think doing some differently is a great idea.  I will probably grill some as well with no smoke to see how that turns out.

    First attempt at smoking chicken thighs

    I will be attempting to smoke chicken thighs on Sunday.  I will be making my own bacon bourbon bbq sauce to put on them.  I have bone in skin on chicken thighs. Should I let these sit in a brine for a few hours first or will they stay juicy enough?  I want to smoke them at 300 until they get to...

    Pulled pork with bacon...smoking the day before

    How long will bacon take to cook at 230*?  I could figure that out and put the bacon on late so they finish at the same time. I'll make sure of that!  I want the Pats to win and the Colts to win...making the Pats 1st in the AFC.

    Pulled pork with bacon...smoking the day before

    I will be smoking a Boston Butt on Saturday for tailgating at the Pats 49ers game Sunday.  There is only 4 of us going so I'll probably do 4 to 5 pounds and whatever we don't eat I will make pulled pork nachos with :) So anyway, I will be putting the rub on tomorrow night to let it sit.  My rub...
