    Smoking Canadian Bacon

    Thanks for the tip Carl. I have "flipped" the loins once a day to let them all spend equal time in the brine at all three levels. I'm still looking for a good rub to put on when I smoke them. I don't have enough of my friends home made that I got in VA. Let me know if you have any ideas. Thanks...

    Smoking Canadian Bacon

    So I finally have a little time to post some pic's of the start of the bacon. I told one friend at work I was doing it and ended up with nine people wanting some. I'm not sure how much I'm going to charge per pound yet. Store price is between $11.00 - $16.00 per lb., I don't think that I will...

    Question about Smoker/Grill

    Thanks Meowey. I talked to the guy at the store and they are giving the digital control and a cover away with the unit right now. I'm working on the "fundage" factor. The Mrs keeps reminding me that Christmas is coming up fast and with three rugrats you know where I stand on the spending list...

    Whole Chickens

    So the better half (aka "the Misses") picked up some roasters on sale at Albertson's. So I brined them over night in Dutch's brine, then I shot them up with Cajun Injector Marinade. One was Crelo Garlic, one was Creole Butter and the last one was Roasted Garlic & Herb. Only problem is I can't...

    Smoked Stuffed Chops

    So, Mom's 61st B-day party is tonight and guess who got recruited for the main coarse? So we went to Costco on wednesday and picked up some of their nice thick chops. Came home and cut a pocket in each one. Threw them in the big pot and added a whole jar of Mr. Yoshida's sauce due to it being...

    New to the site

    Thanks for the welcome posts. We smoked our first salmon today. Started it at 05:00, I was at work by 05:30. The Misses baby sat it while I was at work. Took it out at 17:00 and had some for dinner. A little dry, but tasted great. Not to bad for the first run of the new smoker. I'm going to post...
