    The Unofficial Guide to ABT's

    Cross pollination from hotter peppers does not affect sweet peppers. Here is an explanation: "It is true that most varieties of hot and sweet peppers grown in home gardens are the same species, Capsicum annum, and capable of cross-pollinating, but that is the only grain of truth to this common...

    Dutch's "Wicked Baked Beans"

    I made Dutch's Beans for a group on our 4th of July camping trip. They were all gone, and I had to promise to give the recipe to about half of the group.

    Thanks for the advice. I think I will roll up a couple of fatties just to make sure that everyone eats more than they should.

    Camping & Butts for the 4th - How much?

    I am going camping with a group of friends over the long weekend, and have been designated camp cook. The big smoke will be Saturday, when I do a couple of butts, Dutch's beans, and cheesy potatoes. I can't remember the formula for how much I need to feed a group. The group will consist of 12...

    My New Smoker & Modifications

    Got this a couple weeks ago off of craigslist for $40. It is a New Braunfels El Dorado (prior to Char-Broils buyout). It was in pretty decent shape. A little rust here & there, but I hit with the wire brush and a little high temp paint and she is almost like new. I have made a couple of...

    1st Brisket & 1st Smoke on my new smoker

    Just got a New Braunfels El Dorado smoker this week off of craigslist for $40. It is an actual New Braunfels, not the new imitation version by Char-Broil. Had a little exterior rust, but overall was in pretty good shape. I hosed it down, went over the rusty spots with a wire brush, and gave it...

    New Braunfels Smoker - Opinions

    OK, It's a done deal. I thought this guy lived about 4 hours away, but that is just his lake cabin. He said he will be up there this weekend and bring it home which is only about 30 miles from me. So I'll be able to pick this up next week sometime and see what kind of shape it is in and fire it up.

    Basic Brisket Smoke

    I was kind of thinking about this as well while reading this thread. Brisket on the top, and a foil pan on the lower grate to catch the drippings. I've never done a brisket yet, but think I will give it a try soon. I'll probably put the pan on the lower grate for the 1st part of smoking, but...
