    Jerked chicken thighs w/Italian sausage

    Finally got some time to myself today to smoke some delicious chicken. Boneless skinless chicken thighs are without a doubt my favorite cut. Using a Caribbean Jerk rub from a local Smokehouse, I created a marinade with oil and vinegar. This is my first time doing it this way, but I think it's...

    Picked up both at Gordon Food Service in Utica today. Briskets are full packers and butts are two packs. Then I gassed up at sams club for $1.77/gallon. GREAT DAY!

    Jerky for Deercamp! (Heavy Qview)

    I made some Jerky two years ago (venison & Beef) and it was off the hook. Family and friends loved it and of course soon after I was "gifted" plenty of venison steaks and roasts to convert into dried meat-gold! However life happens (kids, work, etc..) and the meat sat in my deep freezer...until...

    How long can jerky sit in the cure?

    I sliced and prepped some venison and beef jerky monday (10-26) afternoon. (Used cure #1 at a ratio 1tsp/5lb.) It's been in the fridge in ziplock bags with the air sucked out since then. (about 48 hours) I squish and rotate twice daily. My question is, how long can it sit like this before I have...

    Labor Day Weekend Pork Butt

    Wife and kids are finally asleep after a long day in the pool... time for some "No Country for Old Men" and pulled pork! Used Jeffs rub and hickory chunks. About an 8 lb butt cooking at 240deg. Didn't get a lot of smoke on it last night before bed, so I'm doing a little more now. Will get...

    Costco finally started carrying Prime packer brisket, and at $3.79/lb to boot. With the Rowdy Ronda on PPV tonight, it's a good time to smoke a side of beef! Prime Baby. Trimmed. I could really feel the difference in tenderness when trimming. Rub with Jeffs rub Brisket cooking time...

    Too Much Cheese is Never Enough

    I already have about 1.5 years worth of smoked cheese in my fridge, but since it's so fun and easy to smoke, I had to do a little more. I never really had Havarti before until a couple months ago and it is probably my favorite smoked cheese now. Got some Sharp Pinconning, Danish Havarti, and...

    Deer Camp 2013 (lots of pics)

    Well as we get older, we're actually doing more cooking than hunting, but it's all a good time. Picked up this packer brisket at Walmart for about $26. I couldn't believe the price. I trimmed it up quite a bit and rubbed it with a modified SPOG recipe. (Smoked sea salt, and paprika were used)...

    Smoked Nuts for Christmas

    I decided to give out smoked nuts as Christmas gifts. Using different recipes from the SMF, I managed to conjure up a method. The seasoning was something I picked up at Williams and Sonoma. Honestly it wasn't worth the price and I'll just make my own rub next time. I made about 14 pounds worth...

    Super Bowl Cheese

    Thanks to my buddies at deer camp, my smoked cheese supply has been severely depleted. So after a recent trip to Costco when the wife wasn't looking, I stocked up on some new types to try. They should be ready right around the time the Detroit Lions are playing golf.... Shown below are: - 2...

    Cheese Reload!

    UPDATE Tuesday Oct 15th. Two new pics added below. So the stock pile of cheese I smoked last winter has finally dwindled to nothing. I know that may seem sad at first, however the local weather and supermarket cheese prices have conspired to help me at just the right time. For the past weeks I...

    Retail Names of Meat are changing! Bye Bye Pork "Butt"

    Some of you may have already heard this, and after a brief search in SMF, I did not find that anyone else posted this info, so I decided to put this in "pork meat selection and processing" since those names will be changing the most. If an admin or moderator wants to move it to general info...

    "Premier" Membership Info Recommendation

    Ever since joining SMF, I've wondered about the different tags other folks have by their avatar pic. After sorting through different searches, I've slowly learned about how members climb out of "Newbie", through "Smoke Blower", onto "Fire Starter" then "Meat Mopper" and on and on. I've learned...

    Decided to smoke some cheese that will be ready for the NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl. This Q-view is a combination of two different smoke sessions; December 8th and December 15th. These were leftover from when I tried to make smoked mac and cheese (moderately successful). Will Q-view that when...

    2012 Deer Camp Q-View

    Ok, this is my first official Q-view so I'm going big. Every November about 15-20 of my buddies and some relatives go up to my dad's place on Lake Huron in the "thumb" of Michigan's mitten for our annual Deer camp hunting weekend.
