    Chicken and wood question ...

    Opinions wanted about apple wood and chicken.  I'm trying to branch out with different woods besides mesquite and hickory and have been looking at the fruit woods.  If we're big hickory and mesquite lovers, is apple going to be too mellow you think??  Is cherry any stronger??  Thanks! Susan CLB

    New Years pork loin chops - brined and pasted - with Q-View

    I chose a pkg of 1 1/2 inch thick pork loin chops and did a basic brine of water, sugar, salt, garlic & onion powders, and some red pepper flakes.  After drowning the piggie pieces for half a day or so, I did a good rinse then slathered on a 'kitchen sink' kind of paste I threw together -- on...

    Rib question

    I did the 3-2-1 method for my spare ribs. My riblets and the little tips were great snacking for us -- good smoke flavor that wasn't too strong, tender, moist. Mmmm. My ribs are finishing up. The internal temp is great -- they're on the tail of firming up right now. Now the question -- I...

    Smoked chops!

    OK - did a brisket for the first time yesterday and it came out great (to my surprise)! So I was doing some reading and saw you can do chops. Just so happen to have some. So I'm smokin' again today! I was reading about to brine or not to brine. I have a simple little brine that I decided to...

    1st Brisket!

    Rubbed with salt, pepper, and garlic powder last night. Let it sit for an hour or so this morning. We're up to 143 degrees 3 hours into the process. Added more wood about half way to this point. Using hickory & apple. Took a pinch off the end (143's done enough for a pinch for me!) -- mmmm...

    Hi from New Mexico!

    I've been cooking & baking for years inside -- and have gotten darn good! Took up home canning several years ago (although I helped Mom do it when I was a kid). I've been cooking on the grill for years, too, but just started getting tasty stuff within the last couple of years. Everyone would...
