    Been a long long time

    I started here a couple years back or so, learned a lot, posted a bit, learned a lot, ate a lot, and even made some friends, and then I just sort of faded out, but I was still reading here almost every day, and then from time to time, and then not as much as I should have.  What a mistake!  I...

    Hofbrauhaus, great place!

    When I was 22, many years ago, I went to the original in Munich, if we are talking about the same place. I remember a bunch of drunk tourists (myself included) knocking back HUGE beers, singing "Country Roads" by john denver, and eating sausage. Man, those were the days. To make it better...

    Best way to dispose of ash

    Chuck it over the fence if you don't like your neighbors. Otherwise, pitch it in the trash can. I live on a big lot and chuck my ash in the bushes and let the rain take care of the rest. I don't know if it can be put in a compost pile or bin. Maybe this thread will answer that.

    i havent been around in a while

    Ok, you are in the pits right now, in the gutter, feeling like **** (sorry for the swear word, but I am sure that's true). Think of this as opportunity. So much can change in such a short amount of time. Heck, it only took our government a short few years to run the economy into the tank. So...

    Mesquite!?!?!?!?!

    OK, so I am clear up here in Olympia, WA, but I smoke with mesquite from time to time because I think it imparts a nice flavor to meats (pork and beef--never tried it on chicken). I know a lot of folks don't like mesquite. I have a buddy up here who is a die hard texan transplant and he...

    Is it mini meatloaf or stuffed peppers? qview

    That really is some fine looking food. Some time ago I posted some q-view and a recipe for my favorite mini-meatloaves. I am curious as to what yours is. I love them and did them on the smoker and they turned out great. Yours have a beautiful smoke ring. Nice work, you're making a man...

    Howdy from North Dakota

    We all share our mistakes and learn from them, especially amateurs like me that hang out at 10:30 on Sunday night trolling for good ideas and q-view on the forum. Teach a little, learn a little, and post the q-view. This place is great. cheers! Pac.

    Butt and a bear (yes bear, not beer!)

    Hi There Cowgirl. Yep, he was pretty big. We saw him at a distance and I had an 18X zoom on the camera, which brought him in close. Fortunately, the bears are pretty wild there and don't care about people too much. We saw 10 grizzlies in three days, including three sows and cubs. None could...

    Butt and a bear (yes bear, not beer!)

    OK, so this is my first post AK vacation smoke, about an 8-9 lb pork shoulder blade roast, or butt, on my ECB, which actually held great temps today. Smoked for 6 or so hours before foiling, then about two more before I hit ideal temps and tossed it in the cooler in a towel for 90 minutes. It...

    Cover your butt?

    Thanks for the advice Dave. Starting early tomorrow. Hope to have the butt on by 7, then back to bed for a few more winks, coffee and the sunday paper (daily ZERO plus the Seattle times). Glad to see you're still at it. Like your post today, we are just cooking this one for the fun of it and...

    Cover your butt?

    Doing a 9 lb bone in shoulder/butt tomorrow (starting early). Just got it rubbed for an overnight dry marinade. Dumb question, but should I cover my butt with saran wrap over night or just let it hang out in the fridge?

    QUestion on regarding when to pull

    I would pull it, place it in bags and reheat, as has been suggested.

    The Pickle jar.......

    Coyote, that is a great story, and one that a lot of folks could learn from. We are living in such a selfish "instant gratification" society that I think folks have totally forgotten what hard times and sacrifice are all about. Remember, smoking meat, and really bbq, all started as a way to...

    Pac is back!

    Just got back from a few weeks hiking and camping around the great and beautiful state of Alaska, home of the prettiest VP candidate ever nominated (whether you like her or not, she's pretty hot!). I didn't get one of those nice $1200 checks she passed out to each of the AK citizenry to keep...

    Holy Crap!!!!

    Best wishes to you, the missus, and the little one. Glad to know there was one less vegetarian born into the world! Happy days ahead for you!

    Would you look into this smoker deal on Craigslist?

    This is a long drive for me, but for a guy who may want to upgrade from an ECB in the future, would the folks on the forum perhaps pursue this deal: http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/for/782657468.html This is a heck of a drive for me, probably 180 miles RT, so looking at at least 35-40 bucks...

    smoker meatloaf

    Man, you are poised for a feast. I wish I lived in your neighborhood. I would be knocking on the door. Did my first meatloafs last weekend on my ECB and it turned out great. good luck to you, and post your q-view!

    The Class of 2008

    Abelman, your dogs and your garden are looking great! When the weather turns cold in Denver in a couple of months, it looks like you'll have a lot of heat to keep you warm. How do you do your dehydration? Do you just hang 'em or do you use a machine? I had good success growing serranos last...

    First Baby Backs w/Q-View

    Hokie, a lot of folks around here like a little pull before it comes off the bone and not the fall apart ribs. In my opinion, it's all good (unless you overcook it like I do from time to time). Great looking q-view! Thanks for sharing.
