    Trying Something New

    Having pondered years of reading, practice and the advice of many of you, I am going to take a stab at the trendy with some. What I am not certain of is the flavor offset of using vegpowder/CJP. What can I expect using this in terms of flavor for pastrami?

    From Scratch Reuben Fatty

    Has anyone done a reuben fatty from scratch? I want to to do one, but am arguing in my head whether to cure the whole muscle and grind it up vs. grind first and then cure the ground meat. Tell me what you did and why you did it please. :D

    Whole Hog

    Help me Tom Cruise! Alright guys, I am going to attempt my first whole hog on the smoker in about 2 weeks. We are looking at about 30 people. I was thinking about something in the 120 - 140lbs range. We get a lot of requests for these for weddings, but we usually decline them due to lack of...

    The Vintage

    The Vintage is an annual event for BMW owners to pay tribute to classic (vintage) BMWs. Last year we were invited to their 9th annual and got absolutely crushed when we sold out of everything in less than 2 1/2 hours. This year we were prepared for them. :biggrin: The event was held at Westbend...

    The Secret Ingredient

    Since I couldn't make the N Fl gathering this year, I decided to throw my own cajun night with some red beans and rice. My secret ingredient is blood and I highly recommend not following my lead. I was cutting up an onion when the outer skin slipped and instead of dicing onion, I diced my left...

    Green Chile Smoked Chicken Enchiladas

    Last weekend we had smoked a few chickens and one of the things I wanted to try was making smoked chicken enchiladas. My wife being a Colorado girl prefers green chiles so that is what I used. For this I used a whole hickory smoked chicken. I started off by stewing a smoked chicken to make a...

    I just want you to know I will be wearing these in Florida in April since somebody was so kind as to purchase them for me as a Christmas gift. :biggrin: And I will get my adopted sister Laurel to take pics. :sausage:

    225 lbs of Christmas Gifts

    It just keeps growing. The first year I did 20 lbs, the following year we did 50 lbs, and then last year we did 100 lbs. Last year it only lasted a week, so this year we did 225 lbs. We are doing them in the big smoker this year. It took OBX and I nearly 12 hours to get it all mixed, stuffed...

    Smoked Ham Salad and Onion Soup

    I stumbled across an interesting recipe for onion soup this week and that set the gears in motion for this weekend's activities. The recipe is actually very simple which is what caught my eye. I think we might be able to make this on the smoker for events. Here is the original recipe...

    Colfax Persimmon Festival (last event of 2012!)

    We wrapped up our 2012 season yesterday with the Colfax Persimmon Festival. Looking back over the past 3 months, we have averaged one event every other weekend. It will be nice to get my weekends and evenings back so I can get to making some sausage. :biggrin: Our crew has really gelled over...

    Masonic Charity Event

    Last week we had someone leave a letter on my business partner's door asking if we would be willing to help them out with a charity event. After talking to the organizer, we agreed to do just that. Starting Thursday morning we will be cooking upwards of 1,400 lbs of Boston Butt for Friday. We...

    A Big Thanks To boykjo!

    We had two events this past weekend on the same day and at the same time. I had approached Joe a while back about borrowing his cooker to use at the smaller car show and he agreed. Not only did he let me use the cooker, but he brought an entire crew with him! Those of you who attended the...

    Pulled Beef with Banana Peppers and Onions

    This has quickly become one of my favorite things to make. It is very simple but so full of flavor. I started off with 6lbs of chuck roast. Then it got a coating of my beef rub. And then onto the UDS until it hit 165*F. It was a beautiful day after the previous day's storms cleared out...

    Boneless Leg O' Lamb

    The weekend before last we celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary. We spent the day up on the Blue Ridge Parkway taking in the mountains and then came down to have dinner at our favorite Thai restaurant in Greensboro. The only problem was it was Sunday and they were closed. :facepalm: So to...

    Hinkle Hatz; A New Challenge

    A friend of mine asked me if I could use some heirloom Hinkle Hatz peppers that they grow at Old Salem. I took all he had tonight. The plan is to smoke the majority for chili powder this weekend and turn the rest into a vinegar based pepper sauce while working on beans. They smell a lot like...

    AMNTS Mesquite Smoked Black Beans

    A few months ago, Don posted a thread about making black beans that peaked my curiosity. Being in the SE US, pork is king so it isn't uncommon to have some brisket left over from catering gigs and festivals. Here is what I am doing with those leftovers. I start with dried beans and boil them...
