    Pork Burnt Ends?

    Haven't posted any smokes in awhile so here goes. Been wanting to try something like this for awhile so last night I got some boneless country style ribs and rubbed them with Mad Hunky and into the fridge for the night. Put them on the smoker with hickory at 9 am. Figured I do a 3-2-1 to start...

    Sunday Babybacks

    Got a chance to fire up the smoker today so I did some babybacks. Did one rack with just a little salt and pepper and one rack with a favorite rub that I have been using for awhile.  Smoked them in the UDS with Kingsford Comp and some apple wood. I did a 2-1.5-1 and sprayed with Cherry Dr...

    New Platform - What do you think?

    Disclaimer:  This is somewhat techy but I have tried to make it straight forward and easy to understand.   Quote: I must admit I'm kind of surprised at how the security and privacy concerns regarding Huddler are getting swept aside as evidenced by how quickly this thread...

    More Rotisserie Chicken Thighs

    Decided to do some more chicken thighs on the rotisserie today. The last time I did them they certainly could have stood a little more heat to get rid of a little more of the fat. The kids don't like them slimy. So I loaded the charcoal basket with a layer of Kingsford Comp . . . then...

    Yay . . . I Get to Smoke Something

    I finally get to smoke something this weekend. Haven't fired up the smokers in over a month. Been pretty crazy but today I'm going to fire up the drum and smoke some pork butts. Here's some shots of last night's prep. The usual suspects . . . Couple of 5ish pounders, some mustard and...

    Dial Thermo for Center Grate Temp

    Could have sworn I posted this thread here already but maybe I didn't. Anyways . . . Awhile back I finally got around to installing the deep fryer thermometer in the side of UDS 1.0a so that I don't have to do the temp conversion anymore. Here it is with its original thermometer -- a Teltru...

    Canadian Bacon Trio

    I had three hunks of pork loin sirloin roast that my wife picked up at Safeway curing in the fridge for 12 days. They would have been ready in 7 days but it was a timing thing. Cured with Tenderquick and added a little sugar. All rinsed and ready to go. They passed the sniff test and the...

    Made Some Sausage

    Well, I did it. I finally broke in the birthday present. I got one of these for my birthday. Finally got a chance to break it in tonight. Went to Safeway looking for some country style ribs. They didn't have any which is odd, so I picked up a boneless pork shoulder. All cut up and...

    Rotisserie Chicken Thighs

    Now I'm not trying to rub it in or anything but MAN it was a beautiful day in Northern California today. The Taylor tells the story of the temp this afternoon. But, alas, there is rain in the forecast for tomorow and the weekend so I figured if I wanted to smoke/cook something, I'd better...

    Saturday Babybacks

    Did a couple of racks of babybacks today. Weatherman said it wasn't supposed to rain but it looked like this. So I was smoking under cover today. It's been kind of hard to please the whole family when it comes to ribs. My wife does not like a multitude of spices and she and our daughter...

    Two Kinds of Wings

    I finally got around to doing some wings on the drum. Did some using Abelman's Orange Marmalade/Srirachia Sauce recipe and some with teriyaki (the women folk don't like heat). Drum was cruising along at about 325°. Dipped them after an hour, then dipped them again 15 minutes later and took them...

    First Canadian Bacon

    Made my first Canadian Bacon this past week. Started with a smallish pork loin. Weighed out the appropriate amount of Tender Quick according to the package directions and added an equal amount of sugar. And into the fridge for a 7 day cure. Because of Thanksgiving and plans the day...

    A Couple More Butts

    Didn't have any more pulled pork in the freezer so it was time to smoke a couple of butts. Started a couple 5 poundish ones this morning at 6:30. Scored the fat cap a la Capt Dan . . . and did them fat cap up on the drum using Kingsford Comp and some hickory Chunks. Spritzed around every...

    Experiment Day

    Well, today was experiment day. Had 2 racks of baby backs and was going to experiment with different glazes -- peanut butter/honey (a request from my daughter ) and a cherry/chipotle. Here are the ribs after two hours on the drum, right before going into the foil. Used Cowboy lump today with...

    Rotisserie Drum Turkey

    Did a 12 pound turkey on the drum via the rotisserie today. Here is the bird trussed up with a little bit of rub on the outside. Put it on about 11:30 after warming up the drum to around 325°. Tossed some maple chunks in the basket and let 'er rip. After about an hour, I heard the rotiss...

    Rotisserie Country Style Ribs

    Did some CSRs today in the rotisserie basket on the drum as kind of an experiment. Here they are rubbed and after spending a night in the fridge. And here they are loaded into the rotisserie basket. I needed to do something that didn't require a lot of attention as I was getting my back...

    Rotisserie Tri-tip

    Got a chance to try out the EZ-Que today. Did a tri-tip in the drum on the rotisserie. Here's the tri tip rubbed with Pappy's . . . And here it is in the cradle. Looks kind of lonely in there all by itself. I'll have to do a couple next time. For some unknown reason I was thinking...

    UDS 1.0a Gets a Spinner

    Ever since I did the Weber lid mod to the UDS, I've been looking for the rotisserie kit. Well, I finally found one. A guy north of me had an EZ-Que with the 6" cradle for sale. Normally sells for $179. He sold it to me for $110. The ring, cradle, and spit are all stainless steel. Plus the...

    Labor Day Brisket

    Did a 14 pound brisket last night/this morning. Here it is all rubbed and ready. Put it on the drum about midnight last night. Stuck a temp probe in at 6 am this morning. It was at 162° About 8 am, it was at 170°. Time to foil. At 10:30 am it hit 195°. Fastest brisket I've ever...

    Dial Thermo for Center Grate Temp

    I finally got around to installing the deep fryer thermometer in the side of UDS 1.0a so that I don't have to do the temp conversion anymore. Here it is with its original thermometer -- a Teltru BQ300 with 3" stem. Nice thermometer but the stem isn't long enough to measure the center grate...
