    Will a rub of sage, garlic, pepper ect. clash with smoke flavor on a turkey?

    I was thinking about trying a rub consisting of traditional Thanksgiving flavors, ideally sage or poultry seasoning with some other basic stuff like salt, pepper, garlic ect. But I'm worried that if I don't use a more traditional "BBQ" based rub (paprika, chili powder, cumin), that maybe the...

    St. Louis AFTER smoking?-

    Did this, and it seemed it was a lot less of a pain. That Brisket strip pulled right off the ribs. Then I slathered in sauce, broiled, slathered in sauce, broiled again.... and I was left with great ribs. Very pretty , great for presentation!

    Is there a "standard rub" for Boston Butt?

    HEB has butts on sale for $1.00/lb., so I grabbed a couple to smoke tomorrow. My mainstays are paprika, brown sugar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Occasionally I throw in whatever else I have... onion powder, chili powder, dry mustard, ect... I believe paprika and Brown sugar to be the big...

    Experience with deep fried Turkey?

    This is the closest forum I could find for posting about fried turkey, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. Got an electric deep fryer for Christmas last year, and was thinking about firing it up with a small turkey, just to get an idea of what to expect, corrections to made, ect.... It fries up...

    Biggest turkey that is safe to smoke?

    I seem to remember 16-18 lbs being the limit for smoking it whole and intact. And I think that's the way I'll go this year at Thanksgiving. (Damn, I'm ready for some dressing!) I work in the meat department at a very small HEB grocer in Central TX, and we get a free turkey, any size, every...

    Question about conflicting temps...

    On my old, inherited smoker, I used anoven thermometer sitting inside on the grates for a temp guide, since it didn't have a place for a therm outside on the lid. My new smoker came with the therm and the hole in the lid, and it seems to work well, but I noticed meats were taking longer than...

    Anyone prefer, Gasp... Grilled ribs?

    Ran across a recipe in a cookbook that belongs to my mom the other day for Chili's babyback rib sauce. I tried it a couple months ago when HEB had spares on for 99 cents/lb. Anyway, I loved it. Just baste the ribs with it, bake them (I know, I know... it's not Q, but who's to say the only way...

    $1/lb. whole loin roasts at HEB, how well do they smoke?

    I cooked half of one in the crockpot yesterday, and it turned out great. Just wondering how well one would smoke without drying out. They are pretty lean. I didn't see a thread about this great deal, so I thought I'd throw it out there, and maybe get some feedback on smoking or grilling them...

    Recommended temps for split bird with crispy skin?

    I've only smoked chicken a couple times, and with limited results. Meat was great... smokey and juicy. But I'd like to get that delicious crispy skin. To be honest, I've never had it with smoked bird. So... unbrined, split bird. What temp? 350-375?

    Chipotle cheese bratwurst fattie and smoked burgers... Q-View

    Rainy here in Central TX today. But I'm off, and need to get some stuff outta the freezer. I remembered a post a while back about using bratwurst sausage in a fattie, remembered that I had several packs in the freezer that I bought at a reduced price at work since they were about to expire in...

    When is wood (mesquite) seasoned enough?

    Got a small truck load today, and I'm getting another load tomorrow. Actually cut the tree down myself, seeing as how it was at my job, and basicly just an eye sore where it was located. My boss gave me the green light, so I figured free wood? Hell yeah. Pretty large mesquite tree, and 1/3 of...
