    Store bought Marinade.

    I'm not one for enjoying a store bought marinade. But in a pinch sometimes you have to improvise. That has lead to a new find for me. I recently picked up a "Jack Daniels Mequite Marinade Pack" and I have to say it is pretty good and easy. They put a mixture of spices and of course the all...

    Brisket Question

    Anyone ever experience a brisket that had a very short plateau? Here is the story. I put my 9 lb, untrimmed ( I like the fat on it to flavor and keep the meat moist). brisket at 2:45 pm it is now 10:45 pm and I've hit 170 on the brisket. So my calculations are it took 8 hrs to my brisket to...

    Try Cheese sticks!

    I dont have a bakers bag (or whatever you call them) and stuffing ABTs can get messy doing it with your fingers. So what I figured out is use Cheese Sticks. They now come in a lot of varieties so you can usually find the cheese your looking for. My last batch came out good and wasnt much of a mess.

    Needle Valve needed...

    I'm looking for a needle valve and I cant seem to find one around where I live. Propane dealers wont sell me one unless they install it (what kind of BS is that!!!) and hardware store dont carry anything like it. So I guess I'm going to have to go on-line. But I'm not sure what I should get. Any...

    Jack Daniels Smoking Chips

    I buy a bag of Jack Daniels Smoking Chips that I use for grilling. (Made sure when I bought my grill it had a smoking tray, he he he) Anyways, I was thinking how well it would work for smoking meat, since I'm planning on some Butts and ribs this weekend I'm asking in the pork section. The chips...

    Pit Smoking???

    Anyone tried actual pit smoking. I've done it twice with mixed results. First time was three full hogs and they came out a little over done. Obvious conclusion would be the coals were too hot. Second time I tried to let the coals cool off a little more before hanging the hogs and they came out...

    Howdy

    Well I guess I should intro myself and as it says this is the place to do it. I live in Western South Dakota. I've probably been smoking meat for about 5-6 years. Although mostly as a lone wolf. Most of the stuff I learned was from reading a couple books, watching the BBQ shows on Food Network...
