    Boykjo's Jalapeno & Cheese Kielbasa in Tahiti

    Some months ago Joe sent me some of his special Kielbasa seasoning to try, I finally "made" the time to try it last weekend. I made 5# following his directions but used fresh Jals rather than canned and we don't have Hi-temp cheese so I used a variety of Swiss cheese called Madrigal.  Last...

    Smoke Generator for my GOSM

    I have one of Todd's incredible inventions and it works great, my only problem is the sawdust, the Government just enacted a new law last year that ALL non-edible agricultural products entering the country must be sprayed, so my saw dust would be sprayed with some nasty chemicals that I don't...

    Peach Galette in the WSM

    Ever since OUFAN asked about smoked peach cobbler the wheels have been turning in my head, I was in the store this week and they had fresh peaches, I bought 3, but when I cut into them they were too green to be any good, so I went cruising in the canned fruit aisle and found some Del Monte...

    Need Help with Blower Placement

    I've installed a PID controlled 1200W heater strip in my GOSM to be able to have the lower temps for smoking sausage, I've installed a diffuser plate to bring the heat towards the door rather than just going straight up the back wall of the smoker which works great, the problem is I have a 18°...

    Poisson Cru - Tahitian Raw Fish in Coconut Milk

    Big Twig asked for the recipe for Poisson Cru, here it is. Let’s start with the coconut milk, I imagine anyone making this that doesn’t have access to fresh coconuts will have to buy it in a can, but since they're numerous here we will chose a coconut that is full of water, it sloshes when you...
