    Found what I think is a good deal on Morton Kosher salt.

    Pickling salt is better in brines because it dissolves in cold water. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

    best beer for BBQ

    Oh, but my favorite BBQ beer varies by the time of the year.  I really like a nice porter with brisket, but don't care for them in the summer time.  I also have found IPAs, Pilsners, and Bocks to go well with Que.

    best beer for BBQ

    Everyone knows summer shandy is for after mowing the yard. I tell ya, it's not the best beer, but when I'm burning up, I'll drink a million of those things. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

    2012 American Royal

    yeah, Bruno, I know it's a bit crazy.  However, I had been wanting to get into competing, but hadn't gotten a team finalized, and then my wife's work wanted to do it (they're inviting clients to their party Friday night so they can write it all off), and my wife signed me up (which is amazing of...

    2012 American Royal

    Who from SMF will be there?  I'm going to be cooking with a team my wife's work is doing, and I'm in charge of chicken.  First comp I'm ever doing, so I'm pretty excited.  Anyways, it would be cool to meet up with some SMFers out there next weekend!  I'll also be playing in the poker tournament...

    W.W.W. (What Went Wrong)

    I had a brisket that was stringy and hard to slice one time, what had happened was my thermometer was off, and I had way over cooked it.  I served it pulled, and while dryness wasn't an issue (I guess because I injected - I don't know, I was suprised, too) it didn't have the presentation that a...

    pulled pork soft tacos

    Pulled pork tacos are easily my favorite use for leftovers.  Any mexican food will do, though.  They make great enchiladas, and simply amazing nachos too!

    Overnight smoking

    I did my first overnight smoke last weekend when I needed to get 4 pork butts done by 1:30 at the latest for a work picnic.  I started my fire in my WSM at 11, using the minion method with some wood chunks buried in them to get them to light at different times.  I was in bed by 12:45, slept...

    Meat Prices

    Last week at Sam's I got the 2 pack cryo pork butts for either $1.48 or $1.68/lb...I really can't recall which.  I also got a prime packer brisket for $2.48.  I'm almost scary surprised by what a prime brisket goes for there.  Makes me wonder, but I've seen it three times like that now (I really...

    brining partially frozen chickens? (with Q-View tomorrow!)

    well, it had thawn out nicely this morning, so hopefully all is well.  Unfortunately it's raining, and I don't have suitable cover for my WSM to make this work....so, instead of Q-view, you get Oven View!  I know, not the same, but I promised pr0n, so here it is.... Going in the 300 oven...

    brining partially frozen chickens? (with Q-View tomorrow!)

    I'm fully expecting that these may not absorb the brine quite right, but this is the situation I'm in.  I rarely get weekend days off, and when I found out I could take tomorrow off, I grabbed a couple whole birds out of the freezer, along with a prime rib roast I had in there.  That was...

    Here's the link to the ad, it's in there.  I thought it was $25, but going back to the ad, it's only $20: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/hsh/2510020488.html

    Fatty dilemma

    Saturday, we're heading out to the Royals game, and going to do some tailgating.  I've been asked to bring some fatties, which I was all gung ho about...and then I came across a problem...the game is at noon.  We will be getting there at 8.  This means I'm going to need to get up around 3:30 to...
