    Curing chuck or arm roast

    Ok so I have yet another quarter beef in my freezer that I just picked up. Thing is, I still have some chuck and arm roasts from my last cow. I was curious on the process of curing a couple of these. I don't care so much if it comes out like pastrami or corned beef, as long as it tastes good. I...

    Pork " broth "

    So recently I have tried something new with country style pork ribs. Now I know this is frowned upon among most but I had to try it. I had a very sweet cheery wheat beer that I didn't much care for as far as drinking it went. Long story short, I put my country ribs in the beer and simmered them...

    Butt Cooking Time

    I have done a lot of butts and have always used the stuff you drink from the carton. Not sure about the concentrate tho. I honestly wouldn't think it would make that much of a difference . Maybe just lend a little more sweetness but after it's all shredded up, you prob wouldn't even notice a...

    First cheese smoke with the amaze!

    Hey thanks al! Yea, I cut a couple hunks off just to taste and make sure it didn't taste terrible since it was so dark but it honestly taste pretty much like my batch that got no color. Weird how that works.

    First cheese smoke with the amaze!

    So prior to owning this pellet smoker, I always did cheese with the soldering iron method. I have done cheese with it for upwards of 5 hours and NEVER got color like I got on this batch before. I'm wondering what May have caused this . The level of smoke was about the same as the soldering...
