    Thanks All

    Just wanted to say thanks for everything I've learned from the various members here over the years. Sometimes life throws you a curve ball so I need to duck out for awhile. I'll still be lurking off and on and will try to pop in and say Hi when I can. Thanks again and take care everyone. All...

    Tuscan Grill

    Saw one of these yesterday and thought it would be pretty cool to cook in my fireplace over the winter months. Would be great for camping too. The price seems a tad steep but the design is simple so I think I'll just make me one. Anyone else have one or have any experience using one...

    Wine Barrel Smoker

    http://slo.craigslist.org/for/1742940394.html Seems like a good concept for a cold smoker. I bet the AMAZIN(sp) smoker would work good in that.

    Modding my 22.5" WSM

    For ease of cleanup I have wrapped my water pan in foil as well as purchased a larger clay saucer wrapped in foil placed in the water pan. In addition to that I take a large foil party tray and bend it a little to fit in the WSM sitting on top of the water pan and this catches almost all...

    First Run on the WSM

    Busy day yesterday. Had 320 landscaping stones dropped off that I had to get moved to the backyard. Due to that I didn't get started as early as I wanted to which resulted in me running out of time. I wanted to pull this chuckie but I had to slice/chop instead. Still tasted great fortunately! A...

    Porcelain Coated Grates

    I see these are becoming more common on newer grills/smokers. Myself I've always made sure any grill I purchase has CI grates as I like them the most. Maybe I'm a bit old school but it seems to me porcelain is for crapping in not cooking on. So for those of you that are using or have used them...

    When Grandma Goes To Court

    Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She...

    Capers

    I've been seeing this turn up in recipes more and more lately it seems. I've never really developed a taste for them which is odd because I like almost everything. So I thought I'd see what the SMF community thinks about them. My first time doing a poll so I hope I don't mess it up. Also if...

    Boiled Peanuts?

    Used to love to grab a bag of those from the gas station on my way home from work and munch on with an ice cold beer when I lived in the southeast. People on the west coast look at you like you have 3 heads if you ask about boiled peanuts. I can't even find raw ones to make my own. So I was...

    Favorite Fatty Ever

    I don't recall seeing a thread like this before but if it has been done then please feel free to remove mods. There have been some very creative and innovative fatties done by the members here over the last few years. So I'm wondering what everyone's most favorite fatty is. What is your "go...

    Yet another Tiger joke

    Tiger's injuries were more sever than originally thought. Turns out he had to get plastic surgery on his face so he decided to pay tribute to his sponsor.

    Learn Something New Everyday!

    Stopped by my favorite meat market yesterday and while I was perusing through all their goodies I came across a cut I had never heard of or seen before. "Hanging Beef Tender" is what is called. I asked the butcher about it and he told me it was a mucsle that hangs from the diaphragm and never...

    Propane -vs- Electric

    Are there any members out there that own both an MES and some kind of propane smoker? I currently have an MES and am toying with the idea of getting a propane smoker also. I'm curious to hear what differences one may find between the two while using them. Thanks in advance for any info.

    One of my favorite snackin foods is pumpkin seeds, I eat them almost everyday. I've been inspired to try to make some in the smoker just to see how they turnout. If anyone has ever done this before I would love to hear about your results. Otherwise I will share my experiment with you all after I...

    Teriyaki Jerky Suggestions

    I have never made teriyaki jerky before but am planning on attempting it this weekend. My question is what is the best way to ensure the meat gets cured? I have two teriyaki sauces (wet) that I will be using. Should I just add the proper amount of TQ for the amount of meat I'm using to the...
