    Smokin-It Owner's Group Created

    Just got a #2, seasoned it last night. I did have what appeared to be 2 flare ups using the dowels that came with it. I'll try my first smoke like I did the seasoning, and if flare ups continue, I'll try foiling the wood. I'm very excited considering I used an MES 30 for about the last five...

    Deer Loin with q-view

    I've got a backstrap in my fridge now, i might try that. For those that are interested I usually just cut into "medallions" season with salt and pepper (and whatever else I feel like at the time), then sear each side on a cast-iron skillet that has gotten as hot as possible.

    How many...

    will one turkey (say 12lb.) feed? Just found out today the number of people eating here just went up dramatically ( 27 now to be exact). So my question is do I need to smoke 2-10lb. turkeys, 1-15lb. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated.

    Turkey Tune-Up

    Looks Great! A Couple of questions though, as I am new to smoking turkey: 1) What is/are the advantages of stuffing apples & Onions inside, does it affect taste? 2) I like the idea of putting butter, thyme, sage under the skin, but would that allow some of the juices to escape during the...

    Kahlua or Irish cream ??

    If you aren't willing to put in the time to make it yourself, there are a number of cheaper alternatives to Bailey's and Kahlua that some would debate are better (including me and I sell one of the aforementioned products). Alternatives to Bailey's would be: Emmett's, Brady's, and St...
