    Help - figuring meats for event

    I've been tapped to do a wedding reception next month, and need some guidance on the meats. There will be 60 reasonably hungry people and a few kids in attendance. The father wants brisket, PP, sausage and chicken leg quarters. Can you folks lend some expertise on quantities for this? I'm...

    Hi-Speed Brisket - long & tons of Pron

    Okay, I'm taking one for the team. I've pushed the envelope on the hot-fast brisket idea, and the result... Success! The secret comes from moisture control, fire control and resting. I thought I'd throw up a thread explaining my method of getting quality brisket without the agonizing wait...

    Costco deal

    Just a heads up for those interested: I was in Costco yesterday and they had choice boneless rib roasts for $4.89/lb. That's $1.00 less per pound than Restaurand Depot for the same cryo package. Get 'em while they're hot! I hate it when my freezer is too full!

    Pomegranate Glaze/Sauce

    Here is a terrific glaze for chicken and pork. Using the base of pomegranate juice makes for a tasty but hard-to-identify flavor that makes you want more. This recipe is easily doubled for more glaze/sauce. See note at the end of the recipe about the listed hot sauce. For use as a glaze, double...

    First hot-fast brisket - amazing!

    I just finished my first hot & fast CAB choice brisket today on the WSM 22 at about 300 degrees. It was an eye-opening experience (thanks, Konrad!). One thing I tried which was a bit of extra work was to separate the point and flat and trim of all the excess fat. These I panned separately. I...

    Valentine's Day "Refill"

    We were out of my sweetie's favorite smoked delight, so that's what I made her for Valentine's Day. Here it is, nine lbs. of Buckboard Bacon - eight in vac-packs and one in a Zip bag for immediate consumption!

    Chicken Myronnaise

    People gain inspiration for new dishes from many sources, and sometimes they aren't sure where it comes from. I must think about cooking all the time, because this one came to me in the shower! The name comes from two sources - Myron Mixon, a master of the muffin tins for his competition...

    Can You Be?

    POGO 1995 - 2010 I've had worse days in my life, but I can't recall when the last one was that was worse than today. Our beloved Keeshond, Pogo, has been having serious problems the last several months. He had lost most of his hearing, could not see for the large cataracts in his eyes, and...

    WSM Short Ribs & more

    Another piece of heaven from the 'Black Capsule'. I happened to see some particularly meaty short ribs at the store the other day, and couldn't pass them by. Although there are but two of us, I figured that 7.5 lbs. was a reasonable amount! I gave them a good rub down with olive oil, and then...

    MES sausage upgrade

    The MES is a pretty good little smoker, especially for what it is and how much it costs. But because it is on the small side, those racks can get filled pretty quickly. While wandering through Lowe's the other day, my eyes landed on some steel and the long-awaited light bulb went off in my...

    Happy New Year from the Family

    Years back, I fried my first turkey, and DW told me that she didn't want to do any more turkeys in the oven. Well, after today, she doesn't want those either. Looks like it's smoked turkeys from now on! I did my first turkey smoke today, with a couple of 12 lb.'ers on the WSM. Kinda gutsy as...

    Thanks Santa!

    Santa Claus was good to us this year, a 22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain bullet arrived just before Christmas. Of course, the weather was damp very windy, so it was the centerpiece of the living room for a couple of days. It sat there, unmoving, like the monolith in the movie "2001". In preparation...

    BBB - it's what's for breakfast

    Based on an idea in another forum by BigSal, I didn't know he posted his here as well. So I guess this is a version of his creation. I was hungry and it was good! Buttered and toasted sub roll, cheese, 3 sunny-side up eggs, 5-chili paste, buckboard bacon and a nice layer of jalapenos!

    Walkabout Mini-Fatties

    This has been poking around in my mind for some time, so I finally decided to give it a shot. I know there are many of you out there that love a good fattie, or would like to. No, I'm not talking about THAT kind of fattie, but the kind that you cook in a smoker. As delicious as they are, they...
