    Turkey Legs, State Fair style? Not Sweet!

    I'm sure it has nothing to do with... Q just tastes better with a little brew. Added a couple of chicken breasts to the mix. Smoking tomorrow. Dale

    Turkey Legs, State Fair style? Not Sweet!

    Picked up 6 little legs and 2 thighs today... Now soaking in some brine. Mmmm Smoked Turkey Parts Might be overkill.. Bet it will taste good. Dale

    Wood choice for pulled pork

    My experience with pulled pork is minimal but I know what I like on the grill with pork when it comes to wood. Apple being my first pick but it's likely good to add another wood when smoking a butt. Hickory worked well with apple for me a couple weeks ago. Have used cherry but not lately. While...

    Beer in the Butt Chix

    Yep there are lots of guys named Dale. Some not so young, others young like that Jr guy... I lived in Southern California for a few years... Not so easy to find lemon grass in Indiana, many Krogers but no Ralphs... Will check a couple of Asian markets. Lemon grass is great for steamed fish...

    To brine or not to brine?

    Here's a thought that came to me recently on the subject of brine and chicken, actually was thinking about turkey when it came to me. My grandmother and her twin sister were likely the very best cooks I have ever known. Not fancy meals but great every day meals like fried chicken. To the...

    My First Pulled Pork

    Have had a GOSM for a few weeks now and just did my first butt for pulled pork. It came out great. And it came out great because I used several tips that I found here on this forum. Thank you all very much. Used mustard and rub over night in the fridge. Smoked with apple and hickory to 145...

    Turkey Legs, State Fair style? Not Sweet!

    Sometimes where you eat can be as important as what you eat. But I don't go to the fair, the wife brings home a few turkey legs each year for me. Here's one that hobbled home from the Indiana State Fair yesterday. Don't have a good means of weighing it but seemed like more than a pound. The...

    Turkey Legs, State Fair style? Not Sweet!

    Still playing with different ideas... Changed to a brine with no sugar and a lime based marinade. Now thinking about a mop made with lime, EVOO, A1 Steak Sauce and just a little Balsamic Vinagar. Guess that no one wants to comment... That's OK. Dale

    Turkey Legs, State Fair style? Not Sweet!

    It's nearing time for the 2008 Indiana State Fair.... I don't go to the Fair myself but always have Turkey Legs, Pork Chops and other things from the Fair. I made some Turkey Legs for the 4th of July... Way Sweet, not State Fair Turkey Legs... Here's a thread on a different forum (with...

    Smoking in IN

    Well by Friday night I just couldn't wait any longer. New thermometer came on Thursday, the GOSM had been seasoned, there were things in the fridge... So I smoked a Fattie, all in the spirit of testing out the new smoker mind you. Great Fattie, just some cheese, Cheedar and Pepper Jack. I...

    Smoking in IN

    Wow that's way more posts than I expected for a new guy post. Thanks for each and every one. Seasoned the new GOSM today.... Thinking of doing some Baby Backs, maybe with some Spare Ribs this weekend as a first smoke. Will post it up if it happens as planned. Dale
