Well, it's now 6:10 p.m. I started these fellows at 7:15 a.m., and the lower one is now at 164 degrees, with the upper is at 167. Only a few more degrees and I can pull the top one off, wrap it, and let it settle for about 30 minutes -- then it's sandwich time!!
The four photos (I hope I...
Well, yesterday the wife and I celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary (yes, it is to each other - lol.) I asked her where she might like to go for dinner and she said, "in our back yard to the smoker." I am now marinating two pork butts and at 6 a.m. start tomorrow both go into the H2O...
I read a post earlier that discussed where a good place would be to put some smoked meat after it comes out of the smoker so it can relax and re-absorb its own juices. A cooler is a good idea, but after thinking a bit more about it, I came up with a few more suggestions that would only cost a...
Congrats, and welcome to the land of multiple-colored clothes (LOL). Here's what will be the most difficult for you -- they were for me:
1. What clothes will I put on today (you mean I get to choose?)
2. Will my wife stare at me when I answer her with a firm "Yes, Ma'am."
3. I don't have to...
USAF - retired (1968 - 1988) - 20 years, two weeks, one day and six hours (but who counted!) Had three 7-levels in those years (Liquid Oxygen Production, P.O.L, and then the last half of my time in Public Affairs.) I still remember my first day of basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas, -- Drill...
Has anyone out there smoked Ostrich and/or Emu meat? If so, how did it come out. Both meats are not fatty whatsoever, so I wonder how to overcome this, as I think smoking would just end up turning this meat into one huge hunk of jerky!
I can get both meats close to me (I also think you can get...
Well, the evening in the country (sitting in an open field) watching fireworks went off in grand style, and the "spray Listerine on the ground around you" idea worked beautifully. Others sitting around me thought I was a bit off-center when they smelled that telltale scent of the mouthwash...
I'll be sitting in the middle of a country field that has loads of skeeters every year we go there to watch the fireworks display put on by a potato chip maker in that area. I'm taking a spray bottle filled with Listerine with me, and I will report back on what happened.
I bet if you got down on your hands and knees, magifying glass in hand, and looked into the grass after that Listerine spray, you would find out why it was so effective. That Listerine is alcohol-based, and you just gave them skeeters one heck of a buzz -- can't even get airborne! It's party...
Thanks, everyone, for the advice on using sawdust to smoke (sounds kind of weird saying it like that - grew up in the 60's where some folks would try to smoke anything!)
Anyway, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to make sawdust pucks - one cup of well-soaked sawdust and then wrap it in...
Well, it looks as though I'm going to have a great breakfast Saturday morning. I smoked some Choriso links (2 hours at 225 and they were prefect) and froze them, so that's what I'll use. One question: How do you keep from spraying the evaporated milk everywhere when you divide that can in half...
There's a guy who frequents flea markets I go to (he sells cast iron stuff) and here's what he does: He mixes up a strong solution of lye and water, submerges the piece of cast iron in it and then lets it soak for several days. He says it takes off everything.
If you try this, use loads of...
If you didn't know how that mosquito system that uses propane and a catch bag works, here's how:
Mosquitos are after one thing - blood - and they don't care where it comes from, as long as the "donor" is a live one.
What attracts them to that blood source is Carbon Monoxide (CO) -- you know...
I must be "batty" saying this, but if you can attract bats, you will have the best bug eraser on the face of the Earth. They eat their weight in bugs every night -- and that's a whole bunch of 'skeeters! There are available bat houses that provide a living (sleeping) space for them during...
OldAirForceGuy was pretty simple to invent, 'cause I am one. Twenty years, two weeks, one day and six hours (but who was counting) active duty. Been retired going on 21 years, now (gawd, I'm getting older, aren't I? Maybe that's why I now have more hair on my arms than I do on my head -- lol)...
I ran across a place that does a lot of woodwork in oak and hickory and they have sawdust by the huge bags-full free for the taking. My question is this: Is it feasible to use sawdust (not the fine dust, but fairly coarse) in a smoker in place of chips - or with chips? I remember, years ago...
That was a great post about being followed by mechanics!!
As I was sitting here this evening having a great time reading some absolutely wonderful posts, my mind began to wonder off to that creative place where people go to build weird looking things. -- like, what can I use to build my own...
Greetings everyone!
I kind of found this site by accident (how can accidents be an accident if they are loaded with good stuff is beyond me) and wanted to give my hello's to everyone from here in the First State - Delaware. I've been a pretty much lifelong BBQ'er, but only very recently (like...
