    Fantast meat therm test

    Well I finally got around to testing the Fantast meat thermometer I purchased at Ikea. It has a 40 inch braided steel cord on the probe. You can program a temp into it and it will beep when it reaches the temp. I did the boiling water test and it read 213 degrees. I can live with that especially...

    smoked octopus

    Its actually common in Hawaii. And there are many ways of preparing and cooking them. People go skin diving for them and it is an art in itself to find them. They are masters of disguise and, as a friend showed me once, you can be staring directly at them and not know its there. Anyway to...

    test with pics

    This is a tako (octopus) that I recently smoked. The hole in the head is where the beak was. I forgot to take the "after" pics. I was too eager to eat it. It turned out ok but not great. The indignity that a dog suffers at the hands of children Thanks for the advice from glued2it...

    how to I post pics?

    I tried to paste two pics in a recent post and they appeared side by side. I read the sticky by glued2it and tried to follow it carefully but I must have meesed up. I also could not caption or write in the post. I think I managed to resize the pictures down to 600X800 at photobucket so next time...

    white smoke

    I'm smoking a butt today and getting white smoke. Is this bad? I have a electric ecb. Using soaked hickory chips in foil pouches. I drain the chips at least 30 minutes before using. Seems like I had white smoke the last time I used this also. Thanks Brian

    Hi. I ordered a et-73 from the Kitchen Store.com. on a Friday via parcel post. It arrived the following Tuesday. I call that fast considering I'm in Honolulu. I tested it with the boiling water method and it read only 207 degrees at full boil and I am at no more than 50 feet above sea level. I...

    why bone in butt

    I've noticed people like to use bone in butts. Is there a reason for this? Does it taste better? Are cooking times the same as boneless? I would prefer to use boneless simply for the fact that you can insert the thermometer without fear of touching the bone. Also is there a picture of where to...
