    Pressure cooker/smoker????

    OK I expect it is a smaller version...I think he is expecting to get ribs that will taste just like the ones I've made for him. I cannot see how liquid smoked quick will taste better than low and slow real smoke. PS I like the... (self trained by an idiot......in a lot of things) .

    Pressure cooker/smoker????

    The owner of the local watering hole I frequent bought the restaurant next door to his establishment. I tried to convince him to make it into a rib/pulled pork type place but was unsuccessful. Instead he is making it a general everyday eating place. While looking at used restaurent equipment he...

    Brisket question

    A while back I had to do a bunch of ribs and pork butts for a party so I started smokin around 7am (on a Saturday). By 8:30am I had 3 different people from one of the fire companies come running up the alley to investigate...even though the smell was heavenly and I just had the 'thin blue smoke...

    Birch

    I am surrounded by white birch trees, literally. It seems that white birch trees grow like weeds in the left over culm/waste from processing hard coal here in North East Pennsylvania. I am going to cut some and season it for next years smoke season. I never thought of removing the bark.

    First ever catered smoke

    No picts, it seems that the wife knows me well when there is "free beer" involved with a party. The words...lost...broken....dissaper....come to mind.

    First ever catered smoke

    I volunteered my smoking services to the local tavern's pool team to make pulled pork and smoked chicken for their end of season party. For 30 people I smoked 2 butts totaling 21 lbs. and I did 20lbs of chicken 1/4s and 10lbs of 1/4s just in BBQ sauce. (for those poor souls who don't like smoked...

    Making Pulled Pork for a Pool team party

    Thanks for the insight...I will figure a little less than 1/2lb per person, do a few fatties and some chicken 1/4s that I'll smoke then seperste into thighs and legs. I've seen these guys in action...eating free food....they could be a biblical 8th plague. :)

    Making Pulled Pork for a Pool team party

    I volunteered to do a few pork butts for pulled pork for my local watering hole's pool team party. I am figuring on 25 to 30 people. I will probably do some chicken quarters too. There will be slaw, chips etc. My question is how do I calculate how many pork butts I'll need if I only do the...

    quick question

    I am planning a Q party on Sunday. Pulled pork, ribs, fatties and chicken are on the smokin menue. Would the pork and ribs be OK if I half smoked them SAturday and finished them up Sunday? I don't think my Chargriller with the side fire box will accomidate everything at one time. I don't want...

    How did you come up with your screen name?

    Lets see, back in 1976 I was invoilved in a bad car accident, a guy hit me head on while I was tooling along in a 1976 Chevy Vega. My resulting injuries earned me a 6 week stay in a trama center, 5 of which were in a coma. I also cut my optic nerve to my left eye. The eye works but the signal...

    Beef rib/roast questions

    I have never smoked beef ribs, I've always all of the types of pork ribs and pork butts or shoulders. Are there any differences or procedures when smoking a rack of beef ribs or a beef roast? I am making some pulled pork for my co workers and I am going to try my hand at doing something in the...

    Wood Questions

    I have graduated from an ECB to a Chargriller with side box. I can easily get hickory or mesquite wood chips or chunks. I live in NE PA in the heart of the hard coal region. It seems that white birch trees LOVE to grow in the coal dirt left over from strip mining. Can seasoned white birch wood...
