    I Smoked Today, But...

    Today I smoked 3 racks of ribs, 10 pork chops, 25 or 30 jalapenos converted into ABTs and 4 pounds of breakfast sausage wrapped in bacon and rolled in brown sugar, but you've all seen pictures of those things before, so I thought I'd show you what was happening practically in my front yard...

    "First" brisket

    Well, technically this isn't my first brisket. but I haven't done one in two years. The last one was shortly after I started smoking meat and I hadn't met any of you folks. That brisket came out chewy and dry. Here's the brisket. (Sorry, I forgot to look at how much it weighed.) I trimmed...

    Smoked pickles??

    I was thinking today... and that's always a dangerous thing. Has anyone tried making smoked pickles? Now, I'm not talking about taking pickles out of the jar and throwing them in the smoker. I was thinking more a long the lines of cold smoking some sliced or chunked cucumbers and then...

    Butts, Bacon and Balls

    It's been kinda busy here today. We sorta got a late start so nothing made it into the smoker until almost noon, but it's been full since then. We did 35-40 pounds of butts, about 13 pounds of Canadian bacon divided into 4 different cures. And then we threw in some test runs of frozen pre-cooked...

    Smoke from Friday

    On Friday I filled the smoker with 4 butts, 3 fatties (2 plain and one stuffed) along with some beef stew meat and pork stew meat. The stuffed fatty was filled with eggs and cheddar cheese. (sorry, no pics of it. It disappeared too fast) Here are the two plain fatties and the beef stew meat...

    First Run for Repaired MES

    I haven't been able to do any smoking in quite a while. The wires to the heating element in my MES had burned off. I finally found the right wiring and the time to get it fixed. I bought some "assorted" pork chops (about 1/2 inch thick) on sale because they were about to outdate. I thought I'd...

    Heat and Sweet Glaze

    I came across this while I was looking for something different to try on ribs. I haven't made it and probably won't. (My family doesn't appreciate that much heat.) But I know there are folks here who like food that bites back. Strawberry-Habanero Glaze from The Great Ribs Book 1/2 cup...

    From Recipe to Reality

    I'm not sure where to put this so please move it if this is the wrong place. I just heard an ad on the radio for this workshop. It is called "From Recipe to Reality" and it is put on by the Food Entrepreneur Assistance Program at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. "Seminar topics include...

    It's been a long dry spell.

    I hadn't had a chance to do a smoke since before Thanksgiving and finally had a chance to get one in a few days ago. The main items were an eye of round and a chuck roast. The eye of round was injected with melted butter and some S&P, then rubbed with kosher salt and cracked black pepper. Then...

Dilly Bread 1 pkg. yeast 1/4 cup warm water 1 cup cottage cheese 2 tablespoons sugar 1 tablespoon onion 1 teaspoon dillseed 1 teaspoon soda 1 unbeaten...

    Hello Again!

    Hi, guys and gals! I've been away for a few days. My job keeps me really busy leading up to Christmas and it didn't help when I managed to get food poisoning last Friday (not from anything I cooked). It looks like I've got a lot of reading to do to get caught up and a lot of new folks to say...

    Some Unique Smokers

    Stumbled onto this page. Everything from smokers that look like planes and trains to one that is all stainless steel except for the 24-carat gold trim. Just in case some of you are looking for something special for Christmas. http://www.bbqpits.com/unique.htm

    Unsmoked Smoked Stew

    About a month ago I smoked a pound and a half of beef stew meat thinking I could use it to give a stew some great smoky flavor. Apparently I thought wrong or I messed something up. Here's what I did. Cooked a large yellow onion, thinly sliced, over low heat in a stick of melted butter. Added 5...

    Roasted Turkey

    Yeah... I know it's not smoked, but I didn't seem like there was much happening in the way of food pics today so I thought I'd post it anyway. We have sleet and freezing rain here so smoking isn't an option today. We roasted this bird at 500° for about 3 hours. Then shut off the oven and let...

    Jalapeno Jelly

    I came across this recipe today at Allrecipes.com. I'm not sure it's actually a jelly because it still contains the minced peppers (assuming I'm reading the recipe correctly). It seemed like just the sort of thing to serve with some good Q... maybe spread a little on some cornbread...

    Christmas Cookie Exchange

    One of the groups from church is having a Christmas cookie exchange on Monday. My wife and I have decided on what we will be taking (recipe below) and we are hoping that it doesn't just turn into an exchange of decorated sugar cookies. I thought it might be fun to try a web cookie exchange...

    Updates on the Injured and Ailing?

    Seems like it's been a few days since there have been updates on those members who were suffering in hands, arms, teeth, etc. I'd try and list them but I'd probably forget someone and I'd rather not do that. So folks, how are y'all doing?
