    German Red Potato Salad (w/grilled Potato)

    Wow, that looks really good! What if you smoked the potato instead of grill, or put the finished pan in the smoker some? Would it dry out the potato? And this is going on the to-do list either way!

    Perfect Flame Propane Smoker

    Thanks for the info and tips everyone. I may look to go with a chunk/chip combo, or move more to chunks. I think the pan is a decent size, but it is a rather thin metal (thin enough that it sort of "warps" after it is heated) and I have thought that could be a part of the problem. Any thoughts...

    Perfect Flame Propane Smoker

    I have had a Perfect Flame propane smoker (from Lowes) for a little while now and like using propane. One issue I have noticed recently is that it seems tough to keep TBS. The wood chips really get going and the smoke pours to the point I need to pour a little water in to get things under...

    First timer problems

    Thanks all for teh advice. Sorry for the late thanks, I have been away from the computer for awhile. Sounds like I really need to leave things in the freezer a little longer. I put things in there, just maybe not enough. I will definately try again!

    First timer problems

    Ok, so the sausage posts on here inspired me to try giving making them a shot. I have made two attempts so far and have had problems both times. Both attempts were for a hot Itlaian sausage. This last try started out a little better, but I had one issue that I think I have narrowed down to...

    E-mail Issue

    A while back we changed our home e-mail address to one through ATT. When I tried to change it here I never recieved the confirmation e-mail. After this the pages I could access were different and I could not post or add pics, etc. Today on a whim I entered a Yahoo address I have. Instantly...

    Thinking about starting to brew

    I would also vote staying away from Mr. Beer. I personally have not used it, but have been told by others they did not like what it made. I have been homebrewing off and on for 10 years or so. I am by no means an expert though. I try to keep it relatively simple. I did switch over to All Grain...

    Getting ready - 1st timer questions

    Hmmm, we have a Bass Pro around here, may need to check that out. I purchased an electric grinder with stuffer attachements... Waring Pro I think, will need to double check.

    Baby Back Q-View with some ABT's

    I haven't posted often enough and it has been even longer since I have shared Q-view, so I thought I better get with it. These are some pics of some Q I did when my Dad was visiting from out of state. Baby Backs, ABT's, and sausage (store bought and then smoked). Hopefully they show up.. like I...
