    Ti-Malice!

    You can open the jar up once it cools- I did the taste test the next day. I ate the last jar about 4 or 5 months later and there was no real discernable change in it except that the flavors might have mixed and married a bit better, that's all. No change in heat. I'd guess the optimum would be...

    Do Peppers Cross Pollinate?

    That's a good question to post! In fact, yes peppers easily cross polinate, and my experience has been that the cross-polination occurs mainly from the "sweet" pepper ( your bells and marconis) to the hot ones, and much less- unnoticeably in one generation actually- from hot to sweet. So after a...

    Brisket flavor/marinade idea?

    Hi Melty, You might want to consider this alternate method to searing your brisket. Inject it first, overnight, or just prior, whatever, then sear it over hot charcoals immediately before smoking. Many folks have done this to great results. Personally, I have not, but once I get another smaller...

    Latin Spiced Grilled Salmon with Fire Roasted Corn Succotash

    Yikes, that is ab-soh-lootely delicious! All you needed for that front-page-foodie-magazine-cover was to have that baby nestling on top of a nice fluffy pile of hot buttered Basmati rice! Beautiful meal you made there and thanks for sharing. :yahoo:

    Confused on Beef short Ribs

    What you have are beef short ribs. They are not beef spare ribs. No worries, they are delicious! You have short ribs that have been cut a bit (an inch or two) shorter than what I know as usual short ribs, but not thin enough for the Korean style Kobi ribs. So, you have the best of both worlds...

    Brisket flavor/marinade idea?

    Melty, I usually inject the night before I smoke the brisket....around 9 PM and am up at 4 getting the fire started so the meat goes on about 5 AM. You can inject right before putting it on the smoker, but there will be some run-off from the injection and it will drip all over. You may want to...

    Brisket flavor/marinade idea?

    Got to laugh at the 'bama, Fla note! That's so true :biggrin: I use beef broth, the ones labeled 99% fat free and come in a 14 oz can....I forget the brand but it's not progresso I know that....it is the mid price range one though I have used store brand ones too and they work fine. I've never...

    Brisket flavor/marinade idea?

    Hi Melty, and thanks for asking! I went through that phase a couple of years ago and spent a lot of time in research of the "ubiquitous texas barbecue" meaning... The Brisket. Long story short there is no magical, mystical wand nor horn that texans will wave over your 'cue to make it great...

    Favorite day of the year - spoon roast - pics

    Good lord that is so beautiful, I am impressed.A total MAN DAY, oh yeah! Cleaning is real-good, congrats on that, but even more so, your food-choice is a winner. Nice, nice roast, and the sides too. Got a question though, why did you bag the spuds to sit? I just leave them be on a baking sheet...
