    Packer Brisket, et al, with q-view

    This will be my first brisket since I joined the SMF. Putting everything I've learned from everyone here with what knowledge I had before, this was certainly the tastiest brisket I've smoked. I started out with a packer brisket (Albertson's vacuum pack). Rinsed, patted dry, and smeared with...

    Next salmon adventure

    As a result of the advice I got from my last posted salmon smoke, I decided to try two salmon fillets based on that advice. Found a salmon roast that I slit down the spine and separated from the ribs. I then used some pliers to remove the remaining bones from the meat. Rubbed them in EVOO and...

    Fatty experiment II

    Smoking some more salmon tomorrow and wanted to experiment with more flavors in the smoker at the same time... no sense wasting smoke. I was inspired by a picture of a fatty cross-section someone had as their profile photo (for the life of me, I can't remember who, sorry) I altered my cheese...

    ABT experiment II

    I'm gonna smoke some more salmon tomorrow and wanted to throw together some other items to test in the smoker. I've altered my cheese filling recipe a bit and will be using half for my fatty experiment going on at the same time tomorrow... but that's a different post topic. 2 cream cheese...

    Thighs brined and smoked

    Over the week, I decided to take a crack at brining chicken... had a packet of chicken thighs and used Debi's brining recipe from her web site. No photo though, sorry...(it was chicken thighs resting in cloudy liquid anyway) Well, smoked with some hickory for a couple hours and came out juicy...

    ABT and Fatty experiment

    Read so much about fatties and ABT's that I had to try myself. My wife's stomach is too sensitive so I made 1/2 jalepenos and 1/2 anaheim chilis ABT's... I tried two different fillings, the only difference being one had some grated cheddar. Cream cheese, minced garlic, minced chives and lemon...

    10" Dobsonian Telescope

    I've recently completed and collimated my homemade 10" dobsonian telescope. Anyone in the astronomy/star-gazing community would all it a light-bucket. Thought I would post a photo of it... those all-night smoke marathons can be a little tiring. Looking at stars and other objects in the night...

    My first smoked salmon

    Two weeks ago while shopping for beer and wine at BevMo, I bought some cajun spiced smoked salmon... It was sooo good and I realized, "Duh!!! I've got a smoker. Why not try it." Well, I went and bought some fresh salmon and researched here and in the books I have. Although I saw several...

    Coals versus fresh wood...

    I recently got into a discussion with one of my supervisors who is also a smoker... We got to talking and he swears by lettin his wood burn down to embers or coals before puttin his meat in his smoker. Were it not for these facts, I woulda agreed with him: 1. You're not gonna get much smoke...

    hello all

    My name is Matthew and I've been an amature griller/smoker for a couple years now. Bought my first smoker kinda by accident.... I was gonna have a barbecue party but only had a little Weber kettle grill. I looked around WalMart and found a CharGrill off-set firebox smoker/grill combination...
