    The other day, I was in Fry's (Arizona version of Kroeger) and saw this 8.8 lb whole Top Sirloin and decided to get it and try it on the smoker.  Then my wife had to leave town to go see her brother, so I put it in the freezer for a week.  I took it out and thawed it for a couple of days in the...

    sizes of whole splayed pigs

    Does anyone have any guidelines for the size of a whole pig that is splayed out flat based on weight?  For example, a 50 lb pig typically measures 2 feet long by 1.5 feet wide (just made up those numbers). I've done whole pigs in an above ground home made box oven on a spit many times.  Lots of...

    Smoked Lasagna

    I decided that it was time to cook a little Italian, so I went to an Italian pre-school... - Oops - wrong story! I had a hankering for Lasagna, but the wife said it makes the kitchen too hot to cook in there (she has been saying that a lot these days - wonder why?), so I decided to cook it in...
