    Finally Building my UDS!!! (w/Q-view)

    I've been reading for the last 2+ years about the awesomeness of the UDS and finally the stars have aligned and I was able to get a barrel and get going. I happened to be in El Paso (the closest place I could find a barrel) and decided to use my trusty work-horse Civic to haul the barrel...

    Innagural NM fattie/smoke

    Now that I've made the move to New Mexico I could hardly wait to get my smoker going and share some fattie goodness with my new friends.  I had to wait a few weeks for the wind to stop blowing, and finally I got my chance.  I decided to go for the Bacon Cheeseburger fattie smoked with Royal Oak...

    1st meatloaf w/Q view

    I've seen so many delicious photos of meatloaf I couldn't stand it any longer.  So here is my attempt at meatloaf.  I decided to use a bunch of veggies along with the meat. I used ~3 pounds of ground beef, 1 pound italian sausage, 1 pound hot sausage, 2ish bell peppers, 2ish onions, a handful...

    First Chuckie w/Q view

    I've been reading a lot about Chuckies on here and decided it was time to try one.  I thought I would start super simple and I coated my chuckie in mustard and then rubbed it with some KC Butt Spice then wrapped it and let is sit.  Once I got the smoker going with some RO and some mesquite...

    Anyone have a good recipe for Lab?

    Apparently my smoker tastes pretty good. This dog is lucky that my wife likes her. Here is the offender... I decided this is why I need a UDS, no wood to eat.  That's what I tell my wife anyway :-)

    First smoked turkeys

    After reading Jeff's newsletter about smoking a turkey for Thanksgiving, that's all I could think about.  Unfortunately I was flying to Tx and arriving at 1 am Thanksgiving morning so it took some considerable long distance team work between my father-in-law and me. We used the buttermilk brine...

    Smoked chicken breasts

    Now that we're back from TX I have an urge to smoke A LOT.  The other night my wife wanted chicken so I brined some chicken breasts in a Brown sugar salt brine overnight.  I wrapped half the breasts in bacon and left the rest.  They went on over lump and hickory splits.  I put the bacon wrapped...

    Brisket for a crowd w/Q View

    My mother in law finally retired and invited us to her party in TX. (I think it was because she heard about my smoking)  My father in law decided to rush out and buy a ECB smoker.  Luckily we were staying friends who happened to have the most amazing smoker I have ever seen. I decided this...

    New to the ECB, need help/advice!!!

    My wife always raves to her parents about my Q and now her mom is retiring and throwing a party and wants me to "cater" it.  The problem is they live in TX and don't have a smoker.  I tried to talk my father in law into building a UDS but he went to the store and picked up a Brinkman before I...

    Tenderquick Substitute

    I've tried and tried to find tenderquick, and I just used the locator and there is nothing within 50 miles of me.  I was wondering if there was a substitute for tenderquick?  I'm thinking about making some jerky and snack sticks and the like but I don't want to poison myself or my family/friends...

    finally back to smoking

    So I've been without my smoker for a few months since I was forced to live in an apartment while waiting for a house.  Now that my first weekend in the house is here I've got to fire the grill up and get back to smoking.  I've been thinking and planning and preparing for months. I decided I...

    Bacon Cheeseburger Fattie

    I tried this a few weeks ago with mild success and no photos so it never happened right? :-)  This time I used a pound of ground beef with a little added water to help it stay moist.  I also added 1/4 of an onion diced and 3 slices of bacon diced, with some worcestershire sauce and some rub. ...

    First Turkey

    Since I had to work on Thanksgiving my family and I did it a few days late.  Turns out that is a great time to do it!  Anyway I finally found a bone in turkey breast to smoke.  Following Jeff's guide to brining I brined my turkey breast overnight.  WIth the new expanded metal placement in the...

    Turtle Fattie

    I got this in a email and had to share... "Now that the seafood industry is on hold in south LA, Cajun's are having to adjust their cuisine. Handmade ground beef patties, topped with sharp cheddar cheese, wrapped in bacon weave, then the next step, add hot dogs as the heads, legs with slits...

    Let the mods commence

    I've finally started making the mods to my Char Griller that I have been reading about.  I decided to start small with some mods that I have been slowly seeing the need for. The first thing I did was get some expanded metal to put in place of the grates in the SFB to burn the charcoal on.  I am...

    Supreme pizza fattie

    I think my stuffed burgers gave me the idea to stuff more things into a fattie.  So I decided that a supreme pizza fattie needed to be done.  When I was at the store with my kid the other day we picked up some peperoni, some italian seasoned tomato paste (Contadina, my favorite, tastes like...

    Q for "breakfast"

    The other night (my mornings this month) I decided that some left over brisket would make a great addition to some eggs, omelette style.  So I chopped up some slices of brisket into little meat chunks, and found an onion in the fridge that needed using and a potato that was in the same...

    Smoking in the day time

    It's almost the weekend again, and once again I've been volunteered to smoke another brisket (darn).  I'm curious to see how my temps stay today.  Since I live in Vegas and it's close to 100 outside already I think I might use a lot less charcoal today to keep my temps around 250.  I added some...

    Stuffed Burgers

    I think I have a sickness, and the only cure is MORE COWBELL....wait wrong forum.  Anyway I decided to make some burgers on the smoker tonight.  I figured I'd used the SFB from my Chargriller as a grill.  So I started by just making boring ol' cheese and onion stuffed burgers and while I was in...
