    Smoked Beef Brisket QVu

    Had a blast the other day smoking a small (9# i think) brisket. All said and done, it took approx 12 hours. I also threw some sweetened blackeyed peas into the smoker for about the last 3 hours. Half the brisket was gone before I could even grab the phone to take pictures. I had a hard time...

    Beef Barbacoa (tongue & cheek meat) Tacos w/ QVIEW

    I finally got around to making some smoked barbacoa the other day. I was inspired by another post a few weeks back (Mgwerks, I think) although I made it differently.

    Smoked Chocolate Chip Cookies & Hot Dogs w/QVIEW

    I don't know if this has been done here before but I had some hot dogs going on the smoker and Mrs. Tanker gave me an idea. Why not put the cookies in the smoker to see how they come out.
