    Another Newb jerky question...

    I'm smoking some this weekend using a Hi Mountain kit.  My question is, do I need to refrigerate it after I smoke it?  It says in directions that it is necessary, but I'd like not to have to as I'm going to send it to my old roommate from college.  Help me, help me!

    Carnitas - Q-View

    Made some carnitas for my newly prego wife yesterday. They were a little too salty for my liking. I'd probably skip the seasoning salt next time and go with something a little more mild like greek seasoning. Also will use fresh onion and fresh garlic instead of the powder next time. Trial...

    BB's - QVIEW

    Pretty standard issue pics I usually put up. I've had such good luck with BBs, I'm afraid to try spares again. I've been smoking the BBs for about 3 hours, then into the oven at 225 until they hit 185-190 wrapped with apple juice.....they're fall off the bone, and not nearly as chewy as they are...

    1st butt of year, Q-view, and question

    I smoked this butt to about 135-140, then finished in the oven to about 185-190. It was fall apart tender, and had good smoke taste, but it was extremely greasy! It may just have been this particular piece of meat, but it was a real turn off! Any thoughts why this happened? I've smoked butts 6-8...
