    So what's the big deal with peeling the membrane off ribs?? does it make a difference??

    Smokehouse Plans...

    Long time no see!!!!

    Been a long time since I've been on this board, but the cooler weather is coming and I'm starting to get fired up about smoking again!!! (no pun intended) Anyways, good to be back. Hope all of your smoking endeavours are as fun as mine and here's to an awesome fall and winter!

    I need a tiny smoker!!!

    Wow! That's exactly what I had in mind. Thanks. I also might try Geek's idea this weekend. I've got plenty of pans to work with. I'm thinking I might like to try it with a glass pan on top so you can see what's going on inside!

    What's your occupation?

    Accountant. And for the record, I skydive, play the guitar, own a motorcycle, have a girlfriend, and I hate math. Hope that dispels a few stereotypes.

    I need a tiny smoker!!!

If you need an accounting system with more sophisticated inventory/manufacturing/shipping/serial number tracking, I would...

    Smoked Shrimp and Scallops with Sweet Garlic Rub

    Besides being too spicy, how did those turn out? I've done many variations with smoking shrimp, but for me the best I've ever done has been a combination of smoking and grilling. I wrap place a roasted red pepper in the center of the shrimp, wrap the shrimp with a slice of prosciutto, and cold...

    My new GOSM's very first smoke and the first time I used Jeff's rub.

    Great looking piece of meat and a great looking smoker. Looks like you could fit a ton of meat in that thing for a big party! Grats!

    Fat Free Cream Cheese in ABT's

    One word....HORRIBLE!!!!! I dont know who talked me into it, but using fat free CC was absolutely disgusting. It tasted like burnt rubber! Oh well, no more skimping for me. My next batch of ABT's will be stuffed with cream cheese/cheddar and wrapped in double extra fat bacon!!!
