    Amish White Sandwich Bread

    Mdboatbum - I've never had a problem using tap water that has residual chlorine in it with any yeast recipes including making wine and beer. If you're concerned just put the water for a recipe in a glass and let it sit for an hour and the chlorine will dissipate.

    Amish White Sandwich Bread

    I know this is an old thread but I was wondering how well this bread freezes and thaws for sandwiches later in the week. I'm trying to get away from buying bread for our lunches and was hoping to make this once a week, cool it, slice it, and freeze it so we can make samiches as needed. Thanks

    Basic WSM charcoal guidelines

    So I just finished putting together my shiny new 18.5" WSM. I'm brand spanking new to charcoal smoking and am curious whether anyone could help me out with some general guidelines for how much charcoal I will need for different meats (baby backs, pulled pork, whole chicken). I know it can be...

    Problems with my ABTs

    In the past when I've made plain ol' jalepeno poppers I've blanched the peppers in boiling water for a minute or so.....would do the same thing as soaking them only faster.  It definitely mellows the heat but don't leave'em too long or they'll get soft on you.

    Flying my flag at half mast today....

    ......and how do you know that I don't live on a house boat?!? When I wrote it I knew it didn't sound right but I was too depressed to worry about it. Thanks for the info guys. Seeing as it's over two years old I figure I might as well rip it open and see if I can fix it myself as I'm sure...

    Flying my flag at half mast today....

    Went out to start up my MES yesterday to do some ribs....plugged it in and pushed the power button.........nothing. Tried a different outlet......nothing. Admittedly I haven't used it a lot lately but I'm certainly bummed that it's gone the way of the dodo. My guess is that it's just the...

    $4.59/pound

    So I go to a local butcher shop the other day and pick up a beautiful 10 lb pork butt that is currently in the smoker and out of curiousity I ask how much they charge per pound for brisket? The guy calmly looks at me and says, "That's be $4.59 per pound." $4.59 PER POUND?!?!?! Bear in mind...

    Baby Backs

    I like to push it to more of a 2.5 (3) - 1 - 1 method but I also prefer to have just a liiiiiittle bit of tension between the meat and the bone instead of them sliding off the bones while I'm unwrapping them. Either way smoke + baby backs = drool on the computer. Now I might have to add some...

    MES - Smoke Volume Issue?

    I've had my Masterbuilt for about a year and a half and have used it many many times now. I always run it with the vent wide open and preheat it with the water pan already filled. I find that at first there is a high volume of smoke as the initial burn takes place but then it fades a way to a...

    The Labour Day Weekend Smoke - Q-view to follow

    You must be going to the wrong restaurants when you're up here. :) Surprisingly some of the best meat that I've found is from Costco up here. Kirkland Meats. We also had a cow butchered a couple of years ago that was pretty good too. I'm still trying to line up a hog farmer around here to...

    The Labour Day Weekend Smoke - Q-view to follow

    Rich - no worries on over doing it....I'd eat it still mooing if PETA would lay off....only problem is then it wouldn't get any smoke on it either. Luckily for me I happen to disagree with you about the quality of the beef I have available to me. :) Babyback - there will be a lot of food.....it...

    The Labour Day Weekend Smoke - Q-view to follow

    So far I've got a small prime rib, some chicken drumsticks and a meatloaf planned and I may have room for a picnic roast as well. I've got a MES so there's only so much room. Admittedly it's been about a month since my last smoke (don't beat me) and I'm looking forward to it. Supposed to be 75...

    FINISHING SAUCE (for Pulled Pork)

    While I was forced to use a homemade spice mix as cajun seasoning doesn't seem to be found in abundance around here I have to say that this sauce is the best thing since sliced bread. I used some of it on some leftover smoked meatloaf and put it onto my first batch of pulled pork which was...

    Pesticides?

    Thanks folks! I'll have a chat with the owner and see what, if anything, they use.

    My second foray......

    Well after getting some ribs and a fatty behind me a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd whip up a meatloaf for sandwiches at work. I only used beef as that's all we had in the freezer and I thought of making this last night at 23:30 after looking at the porn in this thread. So I get up this...
