My Mom used to make this snack for our family when I was a kid. I recently got a craving for them and dug out her old recipe. Nuts and Bolts are a great snack for any occasion, but I love them for football game days.
Ingredients:
1 small box cheerios
1 small box rice or corn chex
1 small...
I'm going to smoke a 22.5 pound turkey for the family gathering this Thanksgiving. I'm trying to get an estimate of cooking time to set my schedule.
I'm planning on brining it for 24 hrs, then smoking at 275-300, and pulling it at an IT of 165F and resting it covered for 45 minutes or so...
I was asked by some folks to put together a post on an above-ground box oven I have built many times to cook whole pigs - here goes!
A friend of mine taught me this way to cook whole critters back in Pittsburgh, PA over 20 years ago. I’ve cooked dozens since then and built (and re-built) this...
Yesterday and today, on several occasions, while browsing new posts, I have had the SMF site change to a fake message saying that Microsoft Antivirus has detected unusual activity and I need to clean my PC immediately. This is a fake message, and if you click on the link, it infects your...
The other day, I was in Fry's (Arizona version of Kroeger) and saw this 8.8 lb whole Top Sirloin and decided to get it and try it on the smoker. Then my wife had to leave town to go see her brother, so I put it in the freezer for a week. I took it out and thawed it for a couple of days in the...
Does anyone have any guidelines for the size of a whole pig that is splayed out flat based on weight? For example, a 50 lb pig typically measures 2 feet long by 1.5 feet wide (just made up those numbers).
I've done whole pigs in an above ground home made box oven on a spit many times. Lots of...
Well, I was originally going to have some smoked salmon for dinner today (smoked two large fillets this morning after brining over night), but this forum ruined my plans!
I stumbled into Red's reverse sear ribeyes post...
After looking at themule69’s casingless beef sticks, I got inspired to try these myself. I followed Mule’s recipe with some changes (which was based on Bearcarver’s unstuffed beef logs with some mods)...
I've been doing baby backs for years, but decided to try some spare ribs for a change.
Got a 3-pack of spare ribs at Costco. I pulled the membrane, trimmed the ends off and rubbed them
You can see the trimmed ends above the racks wrapped in plastic wrap.
Into the Memphis Elite at 230 using...
For those who were following the throw down - here are the details of my entry.
Description: This is a 4-times smoked cross between a Fatty, Macaroni & Cheese, Pulled Pork Stuffed Manicotti, & Lasagna. The dish is made with 2.5 foot long “lasagna” noodles made of cornmeal. On top of the...
I decided that it was time to cook a little Italian, so I went to an Italian pre-school... - Oops - wrong story!
I had a hankering for Lasagna, but the wife said it makes the kitchen too hot to cook in there (she has been saying that a lot these days - wonder why?), so I decided to cook it in...
The peach harvest has been going on for several weeks now in southern Arizona. I decided I needed to replenish my stock of dehydrated peaches.
We had a hot June and then lots of rain (in the peach orchards at least) which resulted in bumper crops and very large peaches.
Last weekend, my wife...
Well, I was browsing SMF on Sunday morning thinking about what to do for Sunday dinner. I had nothing thawed or prepared. I saw BDSkelly's post from a week or so back on wings and got inspired (Thanks BD!) I decided to do a variation on the recipe he posted (a variation on an older one from...
I got a Memphis Elite for Father's day last month. I've been trying all sorts of different foods on it. I've seen a few strange behaviors at high temps - looking to compare notes with anyone who has one. I'm very happy with the smoking/low temp operation and using the open flame attachment...
We are having a neighborhood Independence party on Saturday and I’m cooking a brisket for the first time on the Memphis Elite. (I’ve done many Briskets on my Pitts & Spitts wood burning smoker – we’ll see how the Memphis does.)
12.44 lb Brisket. Chow down time is 6:00pm Saturday. The plan...
I'm using IE version 10. I just joined several days ago and am consistently having problems uploading photos to a message.
I click on the photo icon, browse to the correct photo on my hard drive, the little bar on top shows uploading photo 1 of 1 and goes all the way to the right. I then...
Hi All,
I've been using this site for finding recipes and information for a while now, so decided to join up.
I started BBQ'ing about 20 years ago roasting whole pigs in a home-built above ground box oven in Pennsylvania. Moved to Texas and got introduced to frying turkeys and BBQ brisket. ...
