    Cure Question??

    I made fresh (no cure) bulk andouille sausage last week and froze it. I was wondering if I could unfreeze some of it, add a cure, stuff it and then smoke it. Or does the cure have to be added when it's made? Any input is much appreciated.

    Galvanized steel wood chip pan??

    I was wondering if it would be safe to use a galvanized steel dog dish for a wood chip pan in a Char Broil H2o electric smoker? It would be similar to what is used in a little chief smoker setting right on the heating element. I tried it without food in the smoker and it worked great. I'm just...

    3# Marinated Tri Tip

    Bought a 3# marinated tri tip from our butcher $7.99 lb. Seared it around 500* about 10 min per side. Turned off all but front burner, threw on some apple wood chunks and cooked until internal temp of 150* I shredded up some leftovers the next day and used them in the filling for some ABT's

    Flowering Cherry Tree

    I'm getting ready to remove a old flowering cherry tree from my parents yard. Can someone tell me if flowering cherry wood is good for smoking? If so does it taste the same as wood from a fruiting cherry tree? Thanks!!

    Frozen Salmon Question??

    A buddy brought me a large filet from a salmon he caught a few years back and wants me to smoke it for him. It's been vacuum sealed and frozen but is marked Aug 2005. I realize the the quality will be gone but is it even safe to eat? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    First attempt at a fattie, some Q-view

    I got a late start. To save time I decided to just cut it open and stuff it instead of rolling it flat. Broiled the bacon for about 5 min just to render off some fat. Stuffed it with mozzarella cheese, olives & salsa. Smoked with mesquite @ 250* for 2 hours. First time using mesquite, can...

    First Butt W/Q-view

    Decided to try my first butt for fathers day. It was also my first smoke on the char-broil H2O smoker I picked up for $10 on craigslist. Everything went pretty well, I only had 2 problems. First problem was the cold weather @ 52* outside I could only get the smoker to 200*. I insulated with a...
