    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

    Hi Y'all!!!!! It's been a verrrrry long time since I've posted. Lots of pressure from work and life has kept me away from here and smoking! The good news is I got engaged November 4th and I'm heading out to Michigan tonight with the rugrats to spend Thanksgiving with my love and her family...

    My first smoked turkey.

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL!!!!!!!!! Hi Buzzard, I've been brining meats for over 10 years now and the brine doesn't raise the sodium level of the meat. The salt acts as a "pack mule" as it were carrying flavor of the liquids into the cells of the meat and is flushed back out all due to osmotic...

    Italian cookies

    I laugh every time I read this joke and think of my grandparents. For me my Nonni always said I had "Il cornu diavolo" - the Devil's horns whenever I acted up (every half hour or so, lol)

    Kingsford are you listening?

    Hey Jethro, don't hold back! Tell them how you REALLY feel!! LMAO But seriously, you are sooooo right! I bought 1 bag in the spring and it was gone in no time. I immediately switched to Royal Oak for both lump and briquettes. Found the taste to be a whole lot better too.

    Read Twice, Mix Once!

    Remember the carpentry adage of measure twice, cut once? Well I just had it re-affirmed while making a rub hence the title! :oops: Flew out to Michigan this weekend to meet the Girlfriend's parents and other various relatives for the first time and, of course, we (meaning me) had to throw a...

    Brands of charcoal

    I too like the Royal Oak Lump - A LOT!! If you are in or near Texas, B&B lump is great charcoal. I used to be able to get it from a local distributor here in CT but apparently B&B now only sells direct and their shipping costs are prohibitive for me. There's a site - WWW.nakedwhiz.com that...

    NC vinegar based sauce...

    A great line of NC style sauces that aren't too tomatoey is the Bone Sucking line of sauces - www.bonesucking.com What I like about them (besides the taste) is NO CORN SYRUPS, NO MSG - 100% NATURAL!

    Watch your fat or your dog might get it

    Like Dutch's dad, I used to pour any leftover fat on my shepherd's dry food and also a 1/2 cup of soybean oil every day. Why soybean oil? It contains lineac and linoleac acids and lecitin. The first 2 are amino acids typically absent from dog food and essential for their coats and skin. LOL...

    Smoke a whole turkey?

    Dang Dutch, those pics got me drooling here! I'll be smoking turkeys for T-day in Michigan using my Brinkmann's H2O smoker. I hope they come out as good looking and tasting as yours!

    ever use wood pellets?

    I've used the pellets in both my Silver Smoker and my Weber with great success. Just make up foil pouches with the pellets and pop them in like you would chips or chunks.

    Where to get lump charcoal?

    Here's a great link that reviews quite a few brands: http://www.nakedwhiz.com/lumpindexpage.htm?bag. Personally I like Royal Oak over Cowboy and either B&B out of Texas or Wicked Good from Laralee Distributors are Da BOMB! Lump can get screwed up by either being nothing but dust and itty...

    Anyone With Experience with SYBBQ or AustinNational Smokers?

    Hi All, I was curious if anybody out there has had dealings with either of these outfits or the smokers they build. They both seem to build a very nice travel concession trailer and smoker.
