    Need brisket advice, please...

    smoking my first brisket in one day but I have a Char-broil 2 in 1 electric. It is kind of small and I need to get creative to smoke an 18lbs. brisket ( the old lady got a good price but bought half a cow in the process) Some possibility's include slicing it down the middle to create two full...

    everybody gets one

            We all deserve at least one ridicules question on this site ( otherwise how do we learn)? Here's mine;  As a single, blue collar guy I can't always afford the finer things in life, like giant cuts of choice brisket from Costco, or baby backs, or pounds of fresh salmon filets.   I do...

    Its Tuna Season Here!!

                       Baja, you're driving me insane with your Q-views!       I'm also in Fun Diego and would love to try the Vernors Ginger Ale brine. I haven't shopped around yet, but is the ale easy to find? What store? etc... I'm new to the game but I like the look of your smoker

    what's the "cure"

    once again, Dave you have answered my question perfectly. would cure #1 be like Mortons curing salt? Will the cure stop the fat from spoiling?

    what's the "cure"

                       So aside from shelf life, is there any advantage to cured jerky VS uncured,      And am I the only one who likes a little well cooked fat with on my jerky slice? Everyone seems to be all about super lean cuts. Finally, what's a good cut of beef for achieving this?

    New guy

                     How about some info on what your looking for. Things like, what do you like to smoke? What size do you want? Any particular heat source ( electric, gas, coal, solar ), and of course, your budget...

                                      Moikel,       I know what a racket just one makes. I can't imagine  the noise from 40+ of them! No need for an alarm clock, I guessing. I know they are considered the pigeons of down under, but here in the states she cost around $1200. Maybe we can start an...

                                Hey Webo,         yeah, I've towed them all. From cars bent in the shape of a "U" from hitting  trees, to a pair of Lamborghini's wreaked because they were racing and neither one knew what the Sam Hill they were doing! Good times...  As far as the avocado, if you...

                                                Mbogo,    Sadly, I don't own the car. I drive the truck. Even though it's not my car, I do enjoy what I call "cool by proxy" meaning, it's not my car but I am cool enough to tow it. Besides, nothing makes people smile more than seeing a $500,000 car...

    50/50

                Mule,    I understand the whole temp. thing, but is it typical to have such a difference in temp. and texture within the same cut of meat? Again, one half of the same cut of pork was perfect at 205*,while the other half wouldn't go past 180* even after 12+ hrs. a 25* diff. in the...

    50/50

           had a bit of a problem with my last butt smoke. I bought them from Costco, usually a pretty good source for meat , they were deboned and two to a pack about 5.5 lbs each. I did all the prep right and the first half of the smoke went as planned. I wanted to try Jeff's    " best mistake I...

    Fattie #1

        it was easily one of my best items to date. Even my picky " I don't like pork" friends gobbled it up! Only negative is I couldn't crisp the bacon enough for my taste. Next time I might try putting it under the broiler for just a minute to get the crisp...

                 you make me smile Mbogo,     starting a smoke and cruising SMF is the perfect way to spend a Sat. AM (even if it is at 3 in the morning)        I did my butt yesterday and it was great. I used Billbo's BBQ sauce and highly recommend it.   I'll put together a sammy and post a Qview

    save to "favorites"

                     Hey Dave,    That might just work. I spent the day copying all my recipes from to Favs. to a folder on my desktop just so I don't have to search for them, but I will look into Evernote for organization. Although, right now I have pork to pull( no kidding, the timer just went...

    save to "favorites"

                        I'm looking to save a single post to my favs. So far all I can do is save an entire thread, so when I'm looking for the post I want (usually a recipe) I have to scan the whole thread. I realize I can copy and paste to a MS note and do a recipe box that way but I would like to...
