    New Build?

    I found this today and thought it would make the ultimate smoker. It's 8' in diameter and 24' long. I figured I could get four whole cows or two dozen whole hogs in it, depending on their size. The two biggest issue's I see are sizing the firebox and making it mobile. All bs aside, looking at...

    37#'s of Pork Butt on a 18.5 WSM Qview

    I looked in the freezer earlier this week and had a few butts looking back at me and thought they needed some attention. I threw them in the fridge to defrost Monday evening after work. While shopping at my local Kroger this week I noticed butts on sale and picked two more up. The two in the...

    Mallard Duck Breast Advice

    My step father brought over 8 mallard duck breast to smoke tomorrow with a few other items. I have them in slaughterhouse brine right now.

    Irish Peat Smoked Loin

    This Sundays smoke involved smoking with true peat from Ireland. If you're not familiar with peat it has a very distinctive earthy aroma. Those of you that have had the pleasure of a peat fire know what I am talking about. That said, traditional rubs are not recommended, I use an herb rub- 2Tbs...

    Sunday Smoke ABT's Chix Pops & Pizza Fatty

    Since the Colts aren't playing today I had some additional time on my hands. The original plan was wings, ABTs and a pizza fatty. The freezer yielded no wings but had some legs. I won't get into too much detail on the Lollipops because I posted my Lollipop smoke a few weeks ago. The temps are...
