    Want to host a "tri-athalon" foosball, billiards and darts tournament...

    Just wondering if anyone out there knows how to set up a tournament. I have a nice foosball table, a pool table and a nice regulation dart board. I was thinking of having the guys and wives at the house for some games, beverages and of course, BBQ. My thought is to have a sign up for best...

    Pastrami time

    Good evening lads. Now that St. Patty's Day is past, It's time to go get those cured briskets for a fraction of original price and start making some pastrami. I sacrifice one to the crock pot with cabbage, carrots, potatoes and some onion just for good luck, but the rest will be headed to the...

    Anyone use this??

    I was doing my daily at FL and came across a shopping cart full of this. I am normally a KF guy but I have been sliding over to lump hardwood. For $.90 a bag, I grabbed it up..all of it. Any two cents will be appreciated.

    Fermenting a So Hot Mix

    Now that my pepper ferments came out well and so did the sauces made with them, I thought I'd try my hand at making a "so hot mix" of cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers and serranos. I want to give it some spice (alot actually) and some color like the stuff I used to get in jars at the store. My...

    What is a simple or ordinary thing that you can't do well.

    First off... This is not a "I can't lick my ....." topic. So let's get that said. I cannot for the life of me cook regular white rice. I have tried all methods, proportions and it always turns out to be a glob of inedible goo. I don't paint well either. I'll build whatever you want honey, but...

    Time to make some sauce.. I hope.

    I have done a few jalapeno ferments before without knowing what I or it was doing. They came out well but I never gave much thought about making sauce and bottling it. I always just blended it up and put it in a mason jar to use as is. This year, my second in SC, I reaped a fairly large crop of...

    Christmas prime rib leftovers.

    I might be on the leading edge of this as we had our Christmas dinner on the 24th for work schedule reasons. So today, I came back from work early since it was a slow day... wifes at work, so I figured it's time for leftovers. I busted out the rest of the prime rib and sliced, trimmed and diced...

    Nobody ate the ham bone..

    This is what I do with the leftover ham bone from Thanksgiving. Cut the last of the harvest of peppers and clear the fridge of remaining stock.. Place in a crock with 50 / 50 pinto and northern beans, tomato and chipotles.. Add the stock and water as required and let it go. Gonna be some...

    It's time to change.

    AM and PM, daylight savings [time] (with no interest). We have determined the earth revolves once every 24 hours. Most things that rely on time use the 24 hour clock and Zulu GMT as the base. Why do we still have DST and AM/ PM?

    Brisket Separation Technique

    There's been alot of questions about identifying the point and flat then separating the two, so, I figured I'd show my technique.. Here is a normal packer brisket. This weighs in at about 16 lbs. Here I have outlined the "corn" or "kernel" with a piece of butcher twine. This string shows...

    What happened to my buckboard?? Help

    I put some boned out butts in Pop's like normal and into the fridge for a week. I went to rinse them right now and there is this nasty, ghostbuster like slime all throughout the brine. It doesn't smell bad and the pork has nice color, but I have never seen anything like it.. Anyone know whats...

    Santa Maria rigs for Weber kettles

    Was looking into a new gizmo for my kettle and was thinking about a Santa Maria setup. I'm seeing a lot of different ones with a huge price range. What are some good ones out there? What's your experience with yours?

    Justice is coming.

    For the crime of being cured, and have been found cold smoking in the shed, these individuals are sentenced to the redundant guillotine. The remnants will FRY! And there's others in the cooler that will pay the same price.

    Pastrami, Ribs and a Butt

    What a wonderful day to be watching football and doing a little Q! I'm wanting to prepare plenty of leftovers so we can have a meal before football practice. My two sons play on two different tackle teams and my daughter plays on a flag team, so we have practice M-F. I picked up a butt for a...

    WSM decision... 18 or 22?

    My wife and I were out running errands on Monday when we came near a BBQ Galore store. I figured we could walk through there and look at all the new toys available. As we did I casually mentioned how much nicer a new WSM would look out back instead of my old, faded, rusted UDS. I showed her all...

    A few CSR's for the game..

    I got a pack of boneless CSRs yesterday and I figured I'd do them up before the football game today.. A little while in the rub..  On the kettle with about 1/3 chimney of Kingsford in the vortex, hickory chunk. Dampers just cracked open. A few hours at around 304 degrees .. Had a final...

    OOPS! Section

    I think we need to have a dedicated section where we can admittedly post up our foul-ups. This just came to mind after using my new food processor to make bread crumbs from day-old baguette. Everything went well until I decided to lay them on a sheet and give them just a hint of toasting under...

    Food processor recommendation

    What do you all recommend for a good food processor? I want one mostly for making pasta dough quickly, but also for emulsions, pure's etc.. Price is a consideration but quality is more important to me.  Right now all I have is a Waring blender that is about as handy as a broken finger. It spins...

    Canadian Baconettes

    I wanted to bring some finger food to our little poker gathering Saturday night. I got a couple of pork tenderloins on a good discount at the Wallymart and thought they might make some good cheese and cracker snacks. I trimmed them of silver skin and fat and dropped them into some of Pop's brine...
