    Last years tailgates (i finally got around to posting)

    ok i know this is from last fall and this isn't all smoking but i thought someone might like this. We have 2 boys and years ago my wife told me that she wanted to be the house that all the kids come to. soon we figured out that teenagers are like wild animals - if you put food out they all...

    Starting up a chuckie smoke (with QView)

    Picked up a 10 lb chuck roast to try smoking tomorrow. I cut it into two pieces to minimize time in the danger zone and I thought I would get more smoked flavor when I pulled it. Does cutting a large piece into two smaller ones have any effect on tenderness since it will not cook as long? I...

    Smoked Ribeye steak w a little qview

    First Prime Rib w QView

    i am cooking my first prime rib on my traeger.  their recipe suggests cooking it at 300 which sounds higher than what i have seen on the forum.  the traeger doesn't make as much smoke at higher temps so i started mine on smoke for 1 hour then bumped it up to 225.  after one hour at 225 my 4#...

    anyone try mixing a rub with a mixer/whisk?

    i am about to make another batch of jeffs rub and it takes us forever to sift all the brown sugar to get the lumps out.  i would think a blender would just pack up in the bottom.  i am thinking of trying our industrial strength stand mixer with the whisk beaters.  any thoughts? greg

    What is the deal on salt in rubs?

     i have some dino bones to do this weekend and i am wondering if i should try something other than jeffs rub.  when i think of beef i think of lawry's seasoning on prime rib.  coating beef with sugar seems a bit odd to me so i was wondering if i should try some kind of salt based rub to bring...

    What do i do when brisket got to temp too fast (now w QView)

    my first brisket on the traeger.  it is small - 4 lb flat.   i smoked it for a couple hours then turned the temp up to 225 and put it in an open foil pan.  after 3 more hours it was up to 150 and i decided to cover it rather than wait to 165.  my reasoning is that my family seems to like meat...
