    Eatable Skin on the Turkey, how?

    So I've smoked a few turkeys now and they get raves, I got the flavors down using brine with veggie stock and apple cider and salt, I find Pecan wood gives me the flavor I am looking for better than hickory or apple or even my beloved peach wood, but what I am failing at is getting a crispy or...

    Father's Day St Louis Ribs with Faithful BBQ Dog & heavy Q View

    I looked all over for Faithful BBQ Dog, it had been a week since we fired up the pit and then I saw him, weak from lack of "Q" and barely hanging on by a thread.  It was Father's Day and it was time to spring into action! Out came some nice looking St Louis ribs from Cash & Carry (Smart &...

    Pitmasters! We improvise, we adapt, we overcome!

    I have been dreaming of a real big barbecue weekend for a while, but life gets in the way sometimes so my dream of chicken one day and ribs another with some cold smoking of cheese in between.  Well, bills piled up and money was tight so it became a chicken thighs only kind of thing.  But once I...

    Pork Loin Pictorial (with Beans!)

    I'm starting to get crazy with these pictorials of my BBQ adventures, but it's fun and I think the masses here enjoy them. So, a little back-story here.  The Wife and I love doing pork loins and this was about the best I have done to date.  Reason one is I found a great pork rub here on the...

    Mesquite Charcoal Question from a Newbie

    Hi All, I have been smoking meats and potatoes and even the occasional deviled egg since September (2012) and my usual charcoal of choice is Cowboy Brand Hardwood Lump Charcoal (bought at Home Depot).  Usually I don't smoke with mesquite because I got nervous reading about all the problems with...

    Daytona 500 Pulled Pork

    How better to while away the hours during the Daytona race than smoking up a pork shoulder for pulled pork dinner tonight. First I slathered the shoulder in canola oil then hit it with a savory rub that I found here http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/129563/pulled-pork-dry-rub   And then I...

    Super Sunday Smoking

    So I am using a rib rack for the first time.  My small charcoal grill, which I use as a smoker makes this as good as I can work it until I can get a bigger smoker.  Any suggestions?  This photo was about an hour into the smoke as I was adding more Apple Wood. Later I will wrap them and move...

    Has The Economy Effected Your BBQ Decisions?

    I sit here on a wonderful, cold Sunday afternoon with playoff football heading my way and absolutely nothing on my grill, no smoke wafting into the air making the neighbors jealous.  This is depressing.  Four days before payday and I simply cannot justify the extra money right now to smoke up...
