    How did you come up with your screen name?

    I'm just trying to keep things simple.... Millstream is the name of the business I own. I used to try and keep different names for the various forums I participate in but usually forget which one goes to what forum and try and log on the car wash forum as "IBFLYIN" and try and log on the...

    I've never heard the term before, it's a free range chicken right?

    Welcome aboard! I'm about 70 miles North of you in Coudersport. Looks like a good job on the smoker.

    What am I supposed to do with this?

    I talked to the butcher again. He said it's the brisket AND the short plate. Now what would you do to that cut? Thanks for the ideas and the laughs guys! Fred Flintstone. LOL!

    What am I supposed to do with this?

    He halved the steer, cut (what I thought) was the brisket... I just measured it, again. The cut is 39 1/4" long. It's froze now and I didn't really look at it before I froze it. Looking at the briskets people cook on here, mine sure doesn't look similar. What the hell did he cut for me?

    What am I supposed to do with this?

    The brisket came off a 2 year old black angus steer. He weighted around 1500 pounds.

    PPP? FREE! Butcher is a friend and only wants to taste the results for payment. Sounds like a fair swap!

    What am I supposed to do with this?

    This is not your typical meat shop. Their butcher shop is an old dairy barn. Nothing fancy but CLEAN! You walk in, 1/2's and 1/4's are hanging in the cooler, tell 'em what ya want, they cut it and wrap in freezer paper, pay and you walk out. There are no labels on the meat. If you take a...

    What am I supposed to do with this?

    I wanted to smoke a brisket so I sent a friend to the butcher shop to get one. He came back with a chunk of meat that is 6" x 8" X 40" long... Seriously, this slab of meat is 40" long. It's longer than the smoker. It also doesn't look like the brisket you guys are cooking on here. Should I...

    Turducken...example on FoodTV

    Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimern had an episode on it. They showed the de-boning and stuffing one bird inside the other. Andrew said it was excellent, though a bit high in fat and cholesterol!

    First "Burn" with Smokin' Pro :)

    Thanks for all the information! Porkbutt, I can see from your pics with the in hood thermo at 150 or so and the grate temp of 225.... I had my in hood reading 225 for all six hours... Prolly closer to 325 on the grills. I am expecting a different thermo in the mail any day. There is no doubt...

    First "Burn" with Smokin' Pro :)

    Thanks for all the ideas! For the next smoke I'm gonna use lump and only add enough wood for a bit of smoke. Also get my temp down at the grilling surface as well as take a temp of the meat and not go by time. It's kinda hard to get the plan down pat as there are so many ways to cook that...

    First "Burn" with Smokin' Pro :)

    I hobby farm and raise beef cattle and hogs. I just had a steer processed and 2 pigs. I currently have 2-6' chest freezers filled with meat. Even though I have lots to work with, I HATE wasting, ruining, burning anything because I can still remember a time when I didn't have plenty...

    First "Burn" with Smokin' Pro :)

    I have a Smokin' Pro Charcoal Smoker Grill by Char-Griller - 830 sq inches cooking surface. I didn't use a water pan and heated the smoker with seasoned maple split into 2" by 1" by 12" sticks. It's the same seasoned wood I heat the house with. Thanks-
