    Simple Salmon Qview

    A successful salmon smoke. I used Dutch's Maple Glaze and just threw in a chunk of cherry wood on my electric Brinkmann. Went on at 11pm and came off just after 1am. I mopped the glaze sauce on about every 45 minutes. I didn't brine the fish and have never really considered doing that. I...

    Like a virgin! Smoking for the very first time!

    No, it has nothing to do with sexual experiences, but I am losing my virginity in a sense today! Many of you know that I have smoked with an electric Brinkmann Gourmet for many years. It has served me very well, and continues to do so. But 2 weeks ago my neighbor told me that her brother...

    Check in Kansas residents!

    I know we have members from Manhattan, which was hit with a tornado yesterday. Today there were reported tornados from Emporia clear up towards Kansas City. My family and I had some quality time in the basement today as a funnel cloud breezed on by us. And to all our smoking brothers and...

    Spares and some wicked beans!

    Some spares that smoked for about 4 hours total. Also made some of Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans. I left out the jalepenos and the green pepper, but I don't think I missed anything. They are wonderful!

    Is this Backwoods worth going for?

    Which #1 will go farthest in the tourney?

    Who is your favorite #1 seed to go deep into the tourney? I would put a poll of all 65 teams, but that would be a large page to scroll through! Edit, something is wrong with the site. I can't make a poll. Oh well, I guess I will ask who you think the champ will be now!

    Add this little guy to your prayers...

    I have a prayer request for my 9 year old nephew Hayden. He lives in Emporia, Kansas and has been in the hospital for the past week with some sort of severe stomach problems. He was to be transported to Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City today, but they didn't have a bed open for him...

    I fought the brisket and the brisket won

    I smoked my first brisket this afternoon and I am slightly disappointed with how it came out. Some pointers would certainly be appreciated. I'll tell you the obvious problems I made and you can smack my hand with a ruler and correct me! First off the cut. I have had a hard time finding...

    The only thing better than smoking...

    Pulled pork slightly off course

    I usually follow Meowey's Basic Pulled Pork instructions to the letter when smoking a butt. I found out though that I don't have any apple juice to mix with spiced rum (yeah, I have the rum on hand though!) So I am mixing up some pulp free orange juice with the rum to spritz with. We will see...

    A soup for the cold weather

    For those of you who tire of chili this time of year, I offer up the following soup recipe. This was given to me years ago. I think that this is about the best soup you can sink your spoon into. It has won the soup competition at my work for 3 years running! 1 cup long grain wild rice...

    I got a gobbler on the smoker and need a quicky answered

    Quick dumb question that I should of been researching for the past week. Where do you recommend sticking the temp probe in a turkey? Mine is on the smoker and has already hit 110 after less than 2 hours. I am concerned that I have put the probe in a bad spot. Right now, it is in the breast...

    Couldn't help it....FEAST!!!!!

    At my weekly shopping trip I stumbled across a three pack of turkey legs that claimed to be smoked. I couldn't resist! Threw them on the grill at about 350 degrees for 45 minutes until they hit 165 degrees. A few chunks of mesquite helped give them a tad more flavor. Nice warmup for...

    Concerns about turkey and temp

    I am set to smoke a 9 pound turkey close to Tgiving. I only have a cheapo Brinkmann that at best will hit 250 or so. I am wondering if that is hot enough to really smoke and cook the bird without hanging in the danger zone for too long. Would I be better off spatchcocking the thing and...

    Mayo on a chicken

    Wow! I read in another thread about spreading mayo on chicken the same way you would use mustard on a pork shoulder. So I tried it. I have to say that for the first time I was seeking out the skin of the chicken. I hate the skin, but this had a slight tang to it that was out of this world...
