    70.5 pounds of pork belly

    I just bought 70.5 pounds of skinless pork belly from my local ethnic meat market.  Good thick stuff, too, lots of marbling and a good layer of fat that wasn't trimmed off when they were skinned.  I'm thinking the first batch will be 10 lbs bacon cold-smoked with a peach/hickory combo.  Also...

    Ribs for the In-Laws and Fam w/ QView

    New Rub for the In-Laws (Sweet)

    I'm cooking up a bunch of ribs tomorrow for my parents, siblings, but most importantly, my in-laws! Tricky thing is, they LOVE sweet stuff and think most of the stuff I cook is always "too spicy." So, with that being the case I decided I need a sweet new rub. I was going to just add brown...

    Last night's Salted Tenderloin aka Filet Mignon steak

    Here's the tenderloin steak I made last night. I was so excited I forgot to take pics with my regular camera, so I just used my Blackberry hence the poor quality. Sorry! It was as thick as it looks, a couple inches. Purchased at Sam's Club. I covered with sea salt, fresh ground black pepper...

    Aging beef before smoking?

    Does anyone ever age their meat before smoking it? I would think that would help intensify the flavor, just not sure if that would kind of restrict some of the smoke flavor from being absorbed and making a decent smoke ring. I've heard of some people aging beef for even just a day or two in...

    Mustard v. Soy Sauce v. ?

    What do you guys prefer under your dry pork rubs? Mustard, soy sauce, stir fry sauce, olive oil, something else? I generally use plain yellow mustard or stir fry sauce, but I'm making some pork spare ribs ribs tomorrow and I'm thinking about soy sauce or possibly something else. I'm thinking...

    Hanging rack in "bullet"-style propane smokers?

    Has anyone made a rack for hanging meat in an upright bullet-style propane smoker, for smoking bacon as an example? I currently have a Cabelas 7-in-1 propane smoker. Is there enough room to smoke enough pork bellies that making some sort meat hanging rack would be worth it? Or should I just...

    Blood Sausage/Pudding...?

    I've really been wanting to try some blood pudding/sausage but haven't been able to find any local or when I've traveled. I am sure I'd love it. Someday I hope to go to Europe and get some fresh, but until then does anyone know of any place online where I can buy some or someone in the states...

    Anyone else have a Cabela's 7-in-1 Smoker?

    Anyone else have a Cabela's 7-in-1 propane smoker? I have one and I love it. The thing does everything. Plus, I got mine for FREE by winning a drawing the local liquor store had. :) Can't beat that. Thank goodness for whiskey!

    Bacon-Infused Bourbon (My Try)
