Bear's "Step by Step" Index

Bear's "Step by Step" Index
​

I made this index, because a lot of guys use my "Step by Steps", and I couldn't get them all in my Signature.
Then I'd have to find the one I had that best suited what they were wanting to do.
At times it has taken me forever to find one of my Step by Steps that never made it into my Signature, due the limited space.

These are ALL "Step by Steps". If it doesn't tell you how to do it, it's not in this Index.

This way will keep them better organized anyway, and make them easier to find by anyone who wishes to use one, or to just check something.
This will also make them easier for me to find, when I want to give someone a link, or for me to use on my own smoke, because I always check what I did previously, before I do a repeat smoke.
I did most of these products in my Masterbuilt Electric Smokers, but in most cases the temps & times would work with other smokers too.
These Step by Steps are by no means the only way to do these things, nor are they necessarily the best way to do them. They are the way I did them at the time I made the Step by Steps.
I tried to cover all bases with my instructions, but if I missed something, or made something unclear, just ask, or even better PM me. I try to stop in here a couple times a day, and will get back to you ASAP.
In the future, if I put more than one of the same product on this list, I will add a notation as to which one I think is best, or easiest to follow.
I will be adding & deleting as we go, so stop in often for new threads. I always enjoy helping anyone I can!!
Thanks for checking in, and I hope this will help many of you!!!

Note: If anyone would like to comment on my Index Page, please do so on this thread.

Also: If you use any of my Step by Steps, and would like to comment on how it worked for you, please make your comment on that particular thread. I appreciate hearing your comments!! Thank You!!

The only link in my Signature now is a link to this page.

I couldn't put them in order in the Signature like I can here. They were just jumbled up on a pile.

It would be nice to have all of the detailed posters (ChefJimmyJ, DaveOmak, Pops, Sqwib, Dutch etc) create threads like this and all of them be located in a specific forum.

That would be Great !!!

Call it "Step by Step City", where only threads that show every step from start to finish would be. I wish we had something like that 4 1/2 years ago, when I came to this site. There was hardly any threads that showed every step, which is why I decided to make a lot of them. Back then every time I wanted to smoke something for the first time, I had to search that item for hours. Then I'd find the best ones I could find. Very few of them had everything in their post. Some were missing time, or smoking temperature, or pulling temp, or how to do a rub, or how to do the cure (amount of cure & length of time in cure). So I'd take notes---These 3 guys said to use this smoking temp, these 2 guys said pull it at this temp, these 4 said to put oil on first & then rub, These two said to use Cure #1, this one said to use TQ, but nobody said how much to use & how long to cure. Most posts didn't say anything at all, so if I was searching to find out how to do something, I was wasting my time trying to find everything out from such threads.

  So I decided to take copious notes, and make it easy for Newbies to get started. I try to include every possible thing I can think of, so anybody could follow it for their first time or two. After that they can continue to follow mine, or preferably expand out to making changes on their own. When I do a repeat of something I already did, I follow ones I did before & maybe make small changes each time. 

  Since those days there are a few guys who show everything they do, step by step, but very few. Even now when I'm ready to start something that I didn't do before, I have trouble finding the details that I need to do it good enough the first time, because very few threads fill in a lot of detail. I never want to do a smoke for the first time wrong, because I can't afford to waste meat by not finding out how to do something before I start.

So like I said, it would be Awesome for those guys with too many Step by Steps to put in their Signature, to be in a special place for people to go to when they want to know how to do something. That's a Great Idea!!!

I also have a bunch of threads that I didn't give much details, and those threads will never make it into my "Step by Step Index" because they are not True Step by Steps. Having anything that does not show every step from start to finish, would be defeating the purpose.

My 2 cents,

Bear
