    Mopping a pork shoulder

    I am doing a pork shoulder in a few days and I normally spritz mine, but I'm thinking of using a vinegar based mop instead this time. Anyone ever mop theirs?

    2nd Attempt at Brisket....Success!

    I would describe my first attempt at brisket as "ok". The flavor was there for the most part but it didn't have the moisture I was hoping for.  But being the perfectionist I tend to be, that wasn't enough. Life is too short for "ok" brisket. So with one brisket under my belt, I started reading...

    Smoker Cleaning Question

    I know for the most part people don't clean the insides of their smokers to get all nice and seasoned, but what about the racks? When I finish smoking there is usually residual bits of food and drippings on the racks. I have been cleaning the racks after every smoke (which is a pain in the ass)...

    Rotating Jerky in Smoker?

    First Attempt At Jerky (Q-view included)

    So for my next smokey endeavor, I decided to give jerky a try. I went to the store and bought about 5 lbs of bottom round and trimmed it up.  I tossed it in the freezer for about 40 minutes to firm it up so I can slice it (by hand). You may notice in later pics that I sliced some against the...

    Boudin Stuffed ABT's

    I made my first ABT's a couple weeks ago (cream cheese and jimmy dean) and they were awesome! So it got me thinking of other stuffings. Thus the idea for boudin stuffed ABT's was born. Well, technically they are stuffed with boudin dip (uncased boudin, sour cream, seasonings). I then topped the...

    Smoked Wings (First Ever Smoke w/ Qview)

    Well I got an MES for Christmas and I finally got a chance to try it out last night. Thanks to my NYE activities, I slept in a bit so I needed to do something that wouldn't take too long. So, I decided on some wings.  Lightly coated with olive oil then seasoned them well with Nu Nu's (some...
