    5-Gallon buckets for brining

    Firehouse Subs has a promotion where you make a "$2 donation" to a Fireman equipment fund and you get a 5-gallon pickle bucket with lid that is great for brining. This is a "food-grade" bucket and a really good deal for 2 bucks, plus you can feel good for hooking up the firemen.

    Howdy SMF

    Howdy fellow meat smokers. Been a while since I have been able to peruse the forums and smoke any meat. I have had a busy past few months. Puff is feeling lonely, so I decided it was time to take a weekend and fire up the Dragon! I am headed to Florida near the end of the month for a family...

    2 slabs and a loin

    I gave up trying to find decent beef and decided to just cook what I got. Well, I got a very pretty pork loin and 2 super-meaty slabs of ribs. I trimmed it all down last night before bed and rubbed it down with Tulsa Jeff's rub. Puff is now warming up nicely. He has obviously gotten lonely...

    Daytona 500 pork smoke

    Error 500?

    Seems a number of times today when clicking various forums I have gotten an Error 500 message. It seems to do it on a couple of different forum sections and sometimes even when I load the Index page. It is working "now", but who knows how long that will last. Not sure what Error 500 is, but...

    Many of you have asked me to post pics of my rig and I finally got my phone and my comptuter talking to each other, SO wish me luck!

    Twist it!

    My back patio area is sloped to help with drainage and when I moved Puff into place, I was only concerned with the aesthetics of the patio and the smoke chamber was actually slightly lower than the firebox. It has been bothering me for a while now, so today I decided to pivot Puff 90 degrees so...

    First Venison Ham

    I have never smoked Venison before, but there has to be a first time for everything! I raided moms freezer and cleaned out some "old meat" that was taking up space and ended up with some pretty nice stuff that I plan on smoking for the Playoff game tomorrow. One of the things is about a 4...

    Curing the dragon

    I have recently inherited a large smoker that was custom built for my father. It is basically a side fire box design with a 3'X4' fire box with adjustable coal tray and a cooking grate to use direct cooking for steaks or other fast cooking meats. The smoke chamber is 3'diameter round by about...
