    First Shot at Ribs

    Sauce was definitely an asset. I live with a pair of "would-be" vegetarians, so if things aren't just right, they default to...shudder....broccoli!!!!! Luckily, these made the cut, and Chopper Jr said they were the best she has ever eaten...although she is only 8 years old, I still take it as a...

    First Shot at Ribs

    Bought a couple of racks of spare ribs, and ran them through the GOSM using the 3-2-1 method, modified to more like 2.5-2-1 mothod I was hitting them with an apple juice spritz about every 20 - 30 minutes during the 2.5 phase, then doused them with some sauce a few minutes after un-foiling...

    Complete Noob ? - Wood n Potato

    Here's an add-on to that question: I just went to a second therm, but was trying to figure out where in the smoker to put it? Above the meat? Same rack? Below?

    My First Pulled Pork Butt

    So we stayed up till 0100 hrs this morning waiting for the magic 200 degree mark. I decided to let it rest in the cooler until I woke up this morning, so I put a therm into it, and set an alarm. Pulled it at about 0600 hrs this morning and it was sitting at 175 degrees. WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF...

    My First Pulled Pork Butt

    Started at about 0800 hrs this morning. I rounded up most of the ingredients to generate a decent version of one of the rubs I found on here. I bought a second digital therm (wireless...awesome), so partway through I decided to mount my wired therm inside to figure out how close the stock...

    Use the fire box to heat water

    I used a similar idea to heat water in my hunt camp Cheech. Using a steel pail, I ran a length of copper tubing from a fitting I added to the bottom of the bucket. Then I made several turns around the first pipe above the stove. The tubing then came back to the bucket and attached to a fitting I...

    Victoria Day Weekend Smoketravaganza!

    So Canada has a long weekend, and we are having a little get together (15 - 20 mouths), and I have been tasked with generating vittles for the crowd. My menu thus far looks like this: 3 x smaller (4-5 lb) picnic shoulders (for PP sammies) 1 or 2 x chicks whatever room I have left I intended on...

    Looking for a rub recipe

    You know what Smoke? I went through this site from top to bottom, and figured I had done a great job of proper reseach before I made that post. I couldn't find anything on a rub recipe at all. I found lots of posts with the phrase "applied rub" and terms like that, but couldn't find a single...

    Looking for a rub recipe

    I know there are a couple of things you cannot ask a fella: 1. Can I borrow your deer rifle? 2. Mind if I kiss your wife? 3. Can you tell me your rub recipe? So I'm not asking for specific measurements, but how about some ingredient ideas? If I let my kid decide, it's going to consist of...
