    4 hour or less cooks???

    I screwed up the other day and took my smoker to work and cooked the guys a fatty. Now they think we need to do this more often. My issue is I need to make sure whatever I take can be cooked in less then 4 hours so I'm looking for suggestions. So far my ideas have been: Fatties Brats or sausage...

    Rolled and smoked a fatty at work (no pics)

    I work night shift and we are over staffed so there's always down time. Yesterday I decided I'd feed my co-workers and rolled a pizza fatty at home. I brought my mini with me to work and man did the guys love it. There was nothing special about this one. Wanted Italian sausage but the grocery...

    Wings on the mini

    So this was supposed to be cooked Saturday afternoon. I mixed up a batch of creole butter and injected the wings about 3:30 Saturday afternoon. Since I'm using my mini and only need 6 briquettes lit, I tried a new homemade chimney out of a tin can. It didn't work. By 5:00 I realized there was no...

    A long smoke on my day off

    I'm working nights with Wednesday as my only real day off and I have buddies in town so I decided I'd cook a butt for everyone enjoy, plus some extras to be named later. Rubbed my butt at 2:30pm. I was to tired to mix up my own rub and had a commercial one I picked up at my local grocery store...

    Going to build a mini (sort of)

    I have been reading about these things for over a year now and finally decided it's time to build one. Before I bought any parts I searched my garage, my parents, my grandparents, and my great aunts to see what I could find. The only thing I came up with was a Char-Broil portable kettle grill...

    First post in awhile (Prime Rib)

    Life gets busy and I haven't been able to post up here in a long time so I figured what better comeback then a beautiful prime rib roast? This comes off a beef we raised ourselves and if it looks a little small, that's because it is. We raise Scottish Highlanders which when fully matured and...

    Bad day to be a pig

    Have a work lunch tomorrow for the last day (it was a summer job before school starts and I have to go back to teaching). Since I broke my wrist and can't work I volunteered to smoke some pork. I got one Boston Butt and one picnic for that and the family asked me to do another picnic that we...

    What to do with a broken arm?

    I broke my wrist Monday at work and am in a cast now and can't work.  What's a guy to do?  Experiment with his brothers smoker he left, that's what.   As I have stated before, I was looking for an upgrade to my Masterbuilt 7-in-1.  I found it.  It's just a Brinkman offset horizontal, but I am...

    Busy Weekend Ahead

    This weekend will be the test of my smoking ability. My dad retired after 38 years of military service and we are doing a big party. I am smoking two pork shoulders and about 20 pounds of chicken leg quarters. My brother @hoss103 is doing a brisket. I'm also going to throw a fatty on for lunch...

    Cordon Bleu

    Yesterday we got rained out at work so I decided to try something a little different. I thought I was inventing something new while doing it but now I see this thread and realize I'm a year late. http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/169285/my-first-fattie-chicken-cordon-bleu-fattie/0_100 I forgot...

    Breakfast plus a surprise

    Decided it had been to long since I had done a fatty (2 days is to long BTW). After looking in the fridge I decided today was a breakfast for dinner day. I put some fried diced potatoes with sweet peppers (would rather use my fresh serrano peppers bit some don't like the heat), cheddar cheese...

    Help Me Pick My Next Smoker

    Since this isn't about a specific type or anything like that, I thought this was the place place for it, if not then we'll one of the mods please move it? First some background. I currently have a Masterbuilt 7 in 1 and I love smoking food on it. I make some great stuff, but my temperature...

    My First Smoked Fatty (Pizza Theme)

    I hadn't heard of these until I joined the forum and I have been drooling since. Here's my first attempt. 1 pound Jimmy Dean Regular Breakfast Sausage Added mushrooms, black olives, mild cheddar, pepper jack, and a little bit of pizza sauce. Didn't want to overdo the sauce and make it to wet...

    Mini-WSM vs Masterbuilt 7-in-1 size comparison???

    Does anyone have experience with these two side by side?  I already have a 7-in-1 and was thinking about building a mini so I had a smaller smoker for fatties/chicken, but I'm not sure there is enough of a difference in size to justify spending the money on one for now.  Eventually, sure, but...

    Pink Salmon

    My parents went to Alaska last summer and brought back a bunch of different fish, including pink (aka humpback) salmon.  Most Alaskan's consider these to be dog food, but those of us that live in landlocked states have to suffer through what we can.  This is actually the second one of these that...

    Howdy from Wyoming

    I've been reading a lot on here for the last year and thought I'd finally post up and say hello.  I'm from Wyoming for now but we will see where things fall in a year.  I live to hunt and fish and have always liked to cook the meat I harvest but I just gained access to a Masterbuilt 7 in 1...
