    Butt - first but not last. (Qview)

    11 hours on my MES to a temp of 190. Foiled now before I pull it in about an hour. Rubbed with mustard, then brown sugar, garlic powder, paprika, lots of fresh black pepper, and some Greek seasoning. We samples a little - but had the smoked chicken breast for dinner. Think I'm set for sammies...

    Venison Shoulder / Elk Italian Sausage

    I said vacation day and husband started throwing stuff out of the freezer into the fridge, so here it is.  Smoking my first two venison shoulders, two elk italian sausage (they were given to us, we didn't stuff these), and why not - two racks of pork ribs.  Into the 5 crock pots went 10 lbs of...

    Venison Sausage - first attempt and room for improvement (Qview)

    It's all ground, seasoned, stuffed..... I've been reading the threads and understand I need to start low until the sausage is "warm" then heat up until an internal temp of atleast 150.  To get to 150, am I going to set temp about 200?  And at what point do I turn the head "up" to do the final...

    Yep - won't roast another one - smoked turkey convert :D

    Didn't get a pic of it out of the smoker - it went too fast!  12 hours of smoking before my 10 pounder was done.  It wasn't a fresh turkey and had a solution in it, so I just cranberry brined it for about 4 hours. Seasoned up and prepped Into the smoker - about midnight last Friday night...

    Posting & QView question

    I have no problem getting my pics loaded during posting, however, how do you add pictures to the END and not the beginning?  Am I doing it incorrectly, I always have to post the Qview in reverse order, which my brain is having a hard time with. Then when I go to edit and post completed pics, it...

    Results - Pork Ribs, 3 whole chickens, cornish hens, and why not fatties, too Q-Views and updates la

    More to come throughout the day - decided to get it all mixed up (and chicken brining) - and marinated for later in the day. Sadly, the only thing I care for are the chickens.  I'll eat a bite or two of it all, but it is for my husband's hunting trip - he leaves Wed morning.... (and he's in the...

    Whole Chicken - Brining (updated w Qviews)

    Second brining attempt (first one I'm guessing I brined for too long, because it was WAY too salty...I cut back on the salt this time and won't brine for quite as long).  I will take it out of the brine this afternoon and then just leave in fridge until tomorrow morning.  I haven't done a whole...

    First Fatty - Venison (Qview)

    Basic Fatty - Venison with egg, cheese, peppers & onions, jalepenos... I "halved" them, so instead of one large, I have two small - one for hubby and one for his partner.  I don't like bacon, sausage or eggs, so I can't tell you what they taste like, but they look good!  These will be great to...

    Boar Ham (first attempt) w/Qview

    I have to admit - I love wild boar, but I usually keep the pork chops and make them grind everything else up for sausage.  But with the smoker lingering in our future, I had a couple of hams saved in the freezer.  Put a mix rub of garlin, cayenne, black pepper and some "hog rub" <gasp> store...

    First Venison Quarters - Done, update, with Qview

    Well....a relative newbie (attempting to do too much, probably!) starting the day with two venison quarters in the MES.  I read through the threads and took a little of what I wanted and then also what the "family" is telling me to do, so we'll see how it finishes. I'm attempting my first...

    Out of Shadows

    I've been reading for months, but thought I'd put myself out there.  Love to cook, about as much as I love to eat (if that says anything!)....I'll try anything, and can't think of too much I don't like. Someone new to smoking - atleast anything more than veggies and chicken.  Have had my...
