    Stuffed Saddle of Rabbit and Bacon Wrapped Wino Rabbit

    Do you taste the rabbit or just the bacon? I have a rabbit thawing and I am looking for ideas.

    Breakfatty...

    This looks amazing and I think I will make it this week and add blueberries or raspberries that I have to pick today. Maybe make a burger out of it with pancakes for bread. My kids will love me though, as always, they will eat their fruit first. Thanks for the link to this thread.

    I'm looking for something I can smoke with blueberries or raspberries

    I've never smoked a duck though I do love cooking it. Sadly I can't get that or hens that aren't frozen.

    I picture a soggy mess. Is that what happened?

    I love that idea!

    I'm looking for something I can smoke with blueberries or raspberries

    We aren't big on ribs. Beef ribs are okay and maybe country style. I am not sure if there is anything I can do other than a glaze but I want some type of protein.

    What about desserts? Favorites?

    One night I hollowed some apples and mashed the insides with some vanilla and cinnamon and smoked them after reassembling the apples. It was basically twice baked apples instead of potatoes. After about 10-15 minutes I put a bit of butter on each and wrapped them in foil and continued the cook...

    Cast Iron

    Cast iron is OK on one of those stoves as long as you are gentle.  The reason they say not to use it is due to possible scratches, if you drag it across the stovetop.

    What kind are they ?

    They look like oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) to me.  And yes, oyster mushrooms are edible and very tasty.  If you are going to eat them just remember to soak them in salted water to remove any bugs.  I'm not an 'expert' but I have had training in wild mushroom hunting and I used to do...

    Sourdough Medley

    Nice looking bread!  I have never made sourdough cinnamon rolls but I bet they are good.  I may have to give it a shot.   Every starter will taste the same once it is at your house for a while.  The flavor comes from the natural yeasts in your area.  That is why sourdough from San Fran tastes...

    Auber vs iQue for the WSM 22.5

    Thanks, I'll have to try it that way next time.  I'm smoking a brisket so thank God I had my MES beside it.  I just fired up the MES and put the brisket in there instead of the WSM.  You do it that way and still get a good 15-20 hours out of it?

    Auber vs iQue for the WSM 22.5

    I bought a Guru and tried to use it today for the first time.  I started with the minion method, using a coffee can in the center, using a combination of the kingsford blue and whatever royal oak I had left.  I them set the Guru to 225 and let it go.  The temp didn't stabilize until it got to...

    since it's cold i'm making albondigas..........

    I have this each time I'm in Detroit.  A local Mexican restaurant makes it very well.  They use whole red potatoes and halved ears of corn.  The first time you get it you have to form a game plan because it looks almost impossible to eat.  That looks great!

    Auber vs iQue for the WSM 22.5

    I have watched a few videos on the Guru and don't fully understand it.  Correct me if I'm wrong. From what I can tell you close all lower vents but have the Guru hooked to one (so that one is open).  Then the Guru controls the air that is put into that vent to regulate the temperature.  So one...

    Suggestions for provolone????

    I suggest the bourbon barrel.  I believe it is the best for any cheese.  Otherwise I'd go with cherry, apple, or pecan.  Wine barrel is also a very nice smoke for cheese but not as good as bourbon barrel.

    first time belly smoke

    It is legal in many states provided it is for personal use and not for sale. I believe it is illegal at the federal level but that really doesn't matter unless you are selling it.

    first time belly smoke

    I may have to do that.  The brine I use has very little salt in it and never requires a soak in fresh water.  It also is much less salty than any store bought bacon you can find.  It was given to me many years ago by a butcher and is very similar to the Pops brine I see floating around.  It does...

    first time belly smoke

    I have always used a brine so I am wondering what the difference is in the end product.

    Some spices ???

    Many spices require fat to bring out the necessary essential oils.  This is simply because many spices' "good stuff" is contained in oils.  To easily incorporate these oils you need a source of fat or alcohol.  I don't know the scientific background nor do I have a list of water vs fat vs...
