    Cashew help

    Researching here I found out about blanching cashews. I think I did it to long cause after a cold smoke and baking them for about an hour at 200 degrees they are still soft. Any ideas on how to rescue these?

    Seems like barbeque places have been growing some throughout the parts of Oregon I have visited, and most of em do pretty well. My favorite restaurant has been Russel Street BBQ in Portland. I think the problem is the public uneducated about BBQ wanting things like ribs drenched in sauce and...

    Look for a good Mac & Cheese

    Little late on the post but I found this in my moms Bon Appetit last time I was visiting the parents and this recipe is to die for.

    Various liquids for Brine

    Finally got my smoker back!!! Recently I have been thinking of using various liquids like sodas or beer instead of water for the brine. Anyone ever try this?

    UDS question

    Starting to think pretty seriously about getting the stuff to start making one. I got a question about the valves. I notice most UDS have 3-4 holes in the bottom, one with the ball valve and other three capped off. My assumption is that for real low temp smokes keep the caps on and use the...
