Curing two hams
Hopefully someone can give me some feedback or thoughts on my latest experiment. Decided that my uncle and the rest of the family is starting to get a bit old to continue to carry on the country ham tradition. Decided to do it myself after helping him cure a couple of green hams about 5 years... -
Should I cook it or toss it?
It was cellophane and I did give it a good smell before rinsing it with cold water. It didn't smell fresh and the meat that had been in contact with the plastic wrapping had started to turn more of a grey color. The meat that had not been touching the plastic was still red. I would say that... -
Should I cook it or toss it?
I bought a brisket last week Thursday 6/20 from Costco (Flat approx. 3.5 pounds) and put it in my fridge in the garage. Completely forgot about it until today. Pulled it out and took a look at it. Sell by date on the packaging was 6/23. Should I cut my losses on this and toss it or should I... -
Now that it's starting to warm up...
Wanted to get this out there before the weekend to see what you guys thought. I started my addiction in the late fall of 07 and now we're into the Spring of '08. This weekend I plan on smoking two Boston Butts I had in the freezer. They're about 8.2 & 8.3 #'s each. All of my previous... -
Adding charcoal for longer smokes
Geek, I am very impressed. I thought about this topic on the drive into work today. I envisioned your smoker looking like R2D2 from Starwars. Might be an idea for someone looking to custom build a smoker. With all of the thought you have put into your smoking controls do you think that you...- outd00rs

Adding charcoal for longer smokes
Had a couple of questions for you guys about the best method for adding charcoal and when to add it. I use a WSM and have done a couple of butts which have turned out the best. I've done lots of research and see lots of different suggestions on "building a fire". I've used briquettes for...- outd00rs

Two Boston Butts (First Q-View Attempt)
Had two butts in the freezer that I wanted to pull out and smoke. Wanted to do them both so I could store some away for an upcoming poker game next month. First piece of meat was 6 lbs and the second was almost 6 lbs. Prepped last night with a homemade rub and mustard Wanted to get an... -
Hello from Northern VA
By over-smoked i'd guess you'd call it "numbing". After reading through the various posts I quickly realized that the large billowing clouds coming out of the smoker weren't such a good thing. I think I've gotten that part under control and now see a thin blue smoke. One thing that I have... -
Hello from Northern VA
Hello all ... Been lurking around for a while and finally wanted to introduce myself and start posting. The site is a great resource and something that I find myself checking multiple times a day. (It's pretty darn addictive to say the least) I just started smoking in the Fall and have...
