    It stinks watching good food get ruined and not be able to help.

    Sorry, I didnt think to point this out and should have. The leaders cook this particular Saturday night dinner, the boys just did the deserts. My understanding is that this is the one campout of the year that they do it that way. (Because families are invited for dinner there were well over...

    That is a great idea, I will have to look into that! If he joins this troop I will definitely volunteer to smoke the ham next year!

All i heard about befor this campout was how good their food was, especially their famous smoked ham and their baked beans. So of coarse, when I see smoke I mozy over to check out the...

    ISS (International Space Station) Viewing

The family and I went outside to see one once and when I came inside a friend of mine who lives close by had just posted on Facebook "I just saw the brightest shooting star...

    Any downsides to pellet smokers?

    I have a RecTec and love it! There was a learning curve involved to get the food how I was use to with my old propane smoker. (cook at a lower temp longer and/or use a smoke tube) however I am sure there would have been a learning curve with any new smoker. While I truley enjoyed the time I...

    ISS (International Space Station) Viewing

    I have the "ISS Detector" app on my Android phone (I assume the IPhone had the same thing) and the family and I love it. It alerts you then the ISS is about to go over and if it is viewable based on your location. It is an incredible sight that still amazes me every time I see it.

    jeffs sauce and rub questions

    For the sauce I just let it simmer for about 20 minutes. For the original rub it is good on everything but it really shines on pork. I don't have the Texas rub (bought the original recipe before it was available and have not tried to get it yet) but in Texas BBQ=beef so I have to assume that...

    Buying a pellet grill this weekend, need input ASAP, which brand/model?

    I just bought a Rec-Tec and no they do not, not really. For anything over 6 months you have to pay a fee to get the no interest. So... you are just paying it up front, and it was significant. Like 100 or more depending on how many months. That said, I am 110% happy with my RecTec! I have had...

    Wood Chips - Initial Ignition Phase & Bitterness?

    Sorry I can't offer a solution (except to say I don't notice the creosote since I switched from chips/chunks to pellets) but I do think your diagnosis is spot on. That is why you see some of the stick burner light their wood outside of the smoker, then shovel in the burning coals.

    REC TEC crazy fast shipping!!

    After months of research I finely decided on a REC TEC to replace my 10yo propane smoke and my rusted out stainless propane grill. Problem was I was 3 weeks from going on vacation and their website said it would not ship for 10-14. (I did just check and it now says 3-5) So I waited... Didn't...

    I got kicked out of wal-mart....

    I am still a legend at work as a result of a laser tag incident about 10 years ago after work. This place was the size of a football field , I was at about the 50 yard line when my rear end let loose a battle field stink bomb that was the worst smell that has ever come out of my body. All I...

    Keeping my temp up

    I am going to smoke 12# of wings this week in my Smoke Hollow (GOSM knock off) so I want to make sure they come out right. The best wings I have made was on a 90 degree day with no wind and my smoker hit 325. However last weekend it was windy and the hottest I got was 285. I have some thoughts...

    Purple Plum

    Ive read that plum is a good smoking wood, even the thread below, but what about a purple plum? I don't know if they are actual plum trees or not since they don't produce fruit. Also, depending on how you prune them they can either be a bush or a tree. I just helped my neighbor cut one down and...
