    Ancho Chile Powder

    Yup, definitely an underrated addition to rubs, along with anise seed and allspice... I look for the dark color when buying the ground, it should be dark

    Cooking bacon strips in a smoker.

    A UDS would work great if you didn't mind getting it going just to do bacon every morning, don't let all that fat drip in the fire! A lot of black smoke and bad flavor. You need a barrier that will give radiant heat but contain the grease. To be frank, the easiest way to do a lot of bacon is in...

    Not-too-sweet baked beans?

    Beans underneath. And done, needs more heat and spice but adjust either with your sauce or throw some orange habenero powder in there. I had to keep it in the lines.

    Not-too-sweet baked beans?

    Another thing you can tell from the picture is they definitely aren't vegetarian. :biggrin: They look good, I'm putting some in to soak today for tomorrow and am using hog jowl for the bacon part. Don't know if the rind is going to be good unless I let them go for a long time but shouldn't need...

    Not-too-sweet baked beans?

    Looks a little dry, I like mine a little soupy but not too much. If you want to develop your own recipie you have to decide if you want to start with canned or dry beans. Then you need just a basic recipe to tweak which it looks like you have. Since you don't want them sweet just add less...

    Big smoke next Saturday...

    That's quite an undertaking there, the whole spread looks outstanding.

    SMOKER CLEANING

    I just have a cheap electric pressure washer that's never had chemicals in it and blow the grease off the pan and grates after they soak a while. I'm stealing the idea of soaking the grates in a cut off bottom of a plastic barrel though. That's a good one because my plastic deep sink gets messed...

    Gus's had some pretty good chicken even if the kitchen was a little unorganized, I can see why the wait times get long. We lucked out though and got there at noon, wasn't busy at all. It was worth the short detour for the chicken which was seasoned perfectly. We wanted to try a restaurant we...

    Yep, used to be a bait shop on 31E in Kentucky with, well, a counter and a bait shop with wooden benches. If that smoker was smoking you better stop cause they had some really good pulled pork. It was a bonus to fishing that creek on barren river lake.

    We like Jim and Nick's on Charlotte to be honest, a lot of people say meh, cause it's a chain I think, but we really like it. We got to judge Peg Leg Porker yesterday for the Kingsford Tour of Champions thing, it's pretty cool if you separate from the group and ask questions and stuff. Next on...

    We actually don't eat out that much, lived here for years and Martin's is still on the to do list. LoL

    It's on our to do list on the way out tomorrow, I need to make sure they're open on Sunday though. It is, the one in Mason is open from 11:00 to 19:00 according to the Google.
