    What do you drive?

    In the back is my 1995 Toyota T-100.  It is in great running shape at 178K miles, has always been the dependable vehicle in our stable and something I will probably not get rid of until it goes belly-up.  In the front is my fun ride for the moderate temp's in Arizona (read that as non-summer...

    Smokin in the Desert

    If you try and cold smoke in the summer, you won't get the low temps you really need.  I have found it really helps to have a shady spot for your smoker; I have a screen I put up to shade my smoker from the sun, but the temps still are high.  Low and slow gets jacked up a tad around here.

    Smokin in the Desert

    What does "outside Phoenix" mean?  I live in Peoria and also love to smoke.  This is a good site to learn smoking.

    Dave, if you can get Squirrel to reply, she knows all about sourdough management and it might be good to send her a private message.

    Electric Knives

    I personally like thick sliced bacon, but my wife likes thinner.  Can anyone comment on using an electric knife to achieve thinner cuts with bacon.  I have a good set of knives, but don't seem to be able to get any consistency in cutting bacon.

    First Butt Ever - ECB Marathon Smoke

    I have read your whole experience over twice and I think the three causes were 1) Too many spritzes lost your heat; you got a lot heavier bark than I did, so that may be a positive out of it. I spritzed twice and turned the meat over at the same time. 2) Losing the fire sure didn't do you any...

    First Butt Ever - ECB Marathon Smoke

    Wow!!!  I am astounded by your times!!  Would you believe the coincidence of my doing a pork shoulder today for pulled pork on my ECB.  I was running around the 275 to 300 mark, put it on at 7:30 this morning and pulled it at around 3:30 pm in the afternoon with the IT at 205.  I cannot fathom...

    What's your occupation?

    Retired grunt, who lies around at night staring at the stars in Arizona.  If the government keeps screwing with my retirement, I may be staring at the underside of a grocery kart.

    freezing pork butt?

    I had a butcher at the store where I pick mine up say that it is best to just leave them alone and freeze them in the packing they put them in.....it is very tough plastic.

    Need info on Boneing knives

    Maybe I am crazy, but I have always used one of those Marttini fillet knives from Finland.  I just picked up one from Cabela's for $14.  A few hits on the sharpening steel, and it is right back to where I need it.
