    Keep it Rolling??

    So do you guys keep the smoke going throughout the cooking?? I used a bigger chip box (3 or 4 X bigger!!) in my GOSM today. Seemed like it was more smoke but not for much longer, I get an hour to an hour and a half from a load. I usually reload and keep it going up until about the last hour or...

    I DID forget the jalapeno though. Oh well, I bet they will be good anyway. Probably a good thing since if I even breathe the "J" word, no one will try it because it will be "too hot", I can't get them to understand the de-seeding/de-veining concept!

    So far-so good. The dreaded roll went perfect!! Used the plastic wrap trick for the bacon wrap. I did use a second piece of plastic long ways to get a good end twist. she will go on with the beans in about an hour. Pastrami looking good in there!

    Fathers Day Smoke! Good Meatloaf!!!

    That "basket" vlap found is commonly called a "Grill Wok" I think you can even find them at Wal-Mart. I have several, they are GREAT for taking some zuchinni, yellow squash and onion cut up and marinated in Italian dressing, throw it all in that on the grill and keep tossing.....good stuff!

    Flat Iron Steak

    They have been serving it in higher end restaurants around here for years. Just came out last year on the retail market (Kroger). (coined "the butchers best kept secret) I have given up Rib-eyes for the flat iron!! A great price too.

    Pastrami for Dummies

    Thanks all.......not such the dummy that I DO know what "corned" was, just wasn't sure it was the same brining as for Pastrami. I gotta try one now, along with one of these "fatties" you guys are all raving about! Just not sure which filling I will try first, they all look good.

    Pastrami for Dummies

    Ok guys, I saw a post from a guy that had found corned beef on sale and was going to buy a bunch of them to make pastrami. Is that all it is, smoked corned beef???? I found recipes that called for brining it for like 3 weeks, but if store bought corned beef brisket is a shortcut, I'm game!
