    tomatoless/pepperless rub/sauce

    Thanks for the help! It went really well. My cousin was really excited that someone cared to make food she could eat. The special rub worked better with the turkey than the pork. And I was made the cook for the family reunion next month, so yay! Doing pulled pork and brisket. Should be...

    tomatoless/pepperless rub/sauce

    I have a family event in a couple weeks and I have a cousin who is allergic to tomatoes, peppers, and all other nightshade plants. I am making a couple pork butts and a turkey. I think the turkey would be more conducive to a more herbal rub. any ideas? thanks, Max

    Practice meats for learning smoking without breaking the bank

    Costco and Sam's seem to trade off on best prices for pork butt. Around here anyway. Redneck cousin who knows ranchers helps with beef.

    Practice meats for learning smoking without breaking the bank

    My first attempt was brisket, mainly because at that time it was my favorite bbq meat. I started doing pork butt/shoulder upon request of my wife. I tell everyone to start there now. So forgiving of temp changes and mistakes. Greater range of acceptable ending internal temps. Easy to finish in...

    my first smoke, ribs, with pics

    Mustard just helps the rub stick better. I use it on brisket and pork shoulder. I tend to not use it on ribs, chicken, turkey, sausage, steak, etc. I have not needed it on the smaller pieces.

    tomato-less and chili-less rub/sauce

    I have a cousin who is allergic to both tomatoes and peppers. Last time we had a family BBQ she was not able to have anything I had smoked and had to have a burger instead. So far I have not been able to find any recipes that do not contain at least one type of pepper or tomatoes. I may not be...

    SImple rub for pork and beef

    That is an awesome idea for sugar! I would think it would be perfect. I ended up with a box of the packets from work when a coffee shop moved into our shopping center. No one makes coffee in the office anymore.

    What's your occupation?

    Driving instructor/manager. I love teaching, but that is mostly just helping us get our head above water while we are recovering from our attempt at planting a church a few years back. Real goal now is to start a not-for-profit counseling center. It is slow going.

    Anybody Buy from and Aldi's?

    So jealous.  I wish we had one in my area. I got hooked on it when I lived in Missouri and was a poor single grad student. Had been there occasionally before when I lived in the dorms in undergrad, but really didn't try everything (meat, produce) till I lived in a house full of guys and we...
