    New forum

    Jeff, I have read "computers for dummies" and "computers for idiots". I have my own personal copy of "computers for MORONS" on order. I really hope this helps. I can't follow the new index and have no idea how this works. I finally was successfully guided to new posts and wondered what...

    Great vac packed meal

    We just finished dinner and it was delicious. Pulled pork, slaw and baked beans. The pulled pork was 11 months old....from last Labor Day. I've been under the weather with back problems for over six months. We have been thinking of getting into the freezer and we finally made the jump today...

    No ribs in my birds

    I have been spatchcocking my chickens and turkeys for a couple of years and I don't intend to ever do them any other way. Recently, I saw a post about removing the ribs after they were butterflied and I tried it on 3 chickens last week to bring on vacation for chicken salad. It was as easy as...

    Stupid, Stupid, Stupid

    I had 3 nice racks of baby backs and 10# of CSR's for today. Cindy, her mom, aunt and my sister were looking for a good meal. I had a good fire going and everything was rubbed and ready. The sauce was made and the braise for the CSR's. Good bed of coals and good heat retention, everything...

    Great Score

    My son was riding down a country road the other night and called me on the phone. He says," Dad, is pecan wood good for cooking"? I said, "It sure is". He told me that he just passed a house with a large pile of wood in front with a sign that said, PECAN. I told him to see how much they...

    Cleaning Bradley Racks

    I bought 4 Bradley racks about 6 months ago and haven't used them until recently. I have tried dish soap and hot water with poor results. I put 2 in the dishwasher yesterday and they still came out with black greasy residue on the wires. Can I put them in the oven on the self clean cycle...

    Care for outside of stick burner

    I have read about folks oiling down their FB after a cook or so. Do you use cooking spray or WD40? Do you also coat the CC outside? My FB is the worst with some surface rust. I'm going to brush and sand it and give it a good coat of Rustoleum high temp paint, but I want to keep a better...

    Bad Wood

    When oak gets really old and the bark begins to rot, can the heartwood still be used for cooking? I still have a quantity of red oak that is good on the outside, but the layer directly under the bark is really mushy. Need some info, please. Thanks in advance, Joe

    News Years Dinner

    I guess we're kind of old fashioned, but our dinner was very simple. The wife made Collards, Black-eyed peas and Corn Muffins. I didn't feel like firing up the smoker for only 4 chops, so I decided to use my gas grill. I rubbed 4 pork loin chops with mustard and a basic all purpose rub...

    Killer pricing on butts

    I was at Bi-Lo grocery store today with the wife, picking up some final things for a Christmas drop-in. They had pork boston butts in the cryovac for $.75/#. That's right. I said (4) 8# butts for $24.00. My wife asked if we had room for them and I said, "at that price, I'll throw out rib eyes...

    Saturday night dinner

    It was cool and overcast.  Seemed like a good time for Loin back ribs. Done, glazed and ready to come off. Sliced and ready to hit the table. On the table with slaw and mamas baked beans. Everyone enjoyed another Rib offering.  Thanks for looking.
