    Tired of mild ABT's now they're soo hot!

    I cut half of my jalapenos and scrape the contents into a small food processor and blend it up. I add blended innards to cream cheese in the kitchen aid and mix. Now I taste it. If  it's not inferno enough I use other half of peno's innards until the heat is strong.

    Smoking a store bought ham

           It weighs only 6 pounds.  I bought it on sale and thought I would give a double smoked ham a shot.  Does anyone have any good words of wisdom?  Said ham will be in the smoker in about 10 hours.  I was thinking apple wood would give it a nice flavor, but I also have mesquite on hand if...

    Brand new

    Call me Milo. I live in the eastern edge of Washington state. I use my webber grill often and decided it was time to get into smoking. My only experience smoking up to this point was that I worked in a restaurant named Thee Pitts Again in AZ for about 6 months, quite a few years ago.  My family...
