Hi All, Can someone give me a fool proof method for making Beurre Monté? I understand the principle, but I am wondering about the ratio of water to butter especially if you want to make a larger quantity of it. After you boil the water, do you let it cool to less then 160F degrees before you...

Hi All, It's that time of year for me as I head off to Burning Man to share our love of BBQ with the dusty masses. This year I have been tasked with cooking a whole 52 lbs pig as part of a 5 course meal. At 52 lbs it is larger than a suckling pig but smaller than a typical whole hog. I am...

MAPP Torch, Baby! Woot.

I love Chess pie - my mom used to make it as one of my birthday desserts. She also used to make Chocolate Chess Pie as well. I'll have to find that recipe and post it.

It seems to me that a sure sign of a good BBQ spot is that when you sit down, they bring you an entire pitcher of sweet tea and never let it go empty!

Hi All, I would like to get an injector that is similar in style to the one sold on the Jack's Old South site. You can see it here. The one the sell is $175 plus shipping, which seems a little pricey. Does anyone know other places to purchase similarly functioning injectors? I do own a...

Randy - that should work out for you (less than two hours) but make sure you keep a probe in there and keep track of the temperature. If the temp drops into the danger zone, you should serve it with in four hours to be on the safe side.

Hee hee. One advantage of living in NYC is that I can walk in any direction for about 45 seconds and buy some of the best pizza dough on the planet. Since it is specifically geared toward cooking in super high heat coal or wood fired ovens, it is perfect for the grill.

I love the Aeropress. I have a hot water dispenser that I set to deliver water at exactly 175 degrees (F). The amount of time it takes me to make coffee in the morning is about the amount of time it takes to grind the beans plus 30 seconds. Plus, you can camp with it so easily - I am still...

Horrifying! That is all I can say.

That's one incredible smoke ring on your brikset! Nice.

In the article about Snow's I don't understand the math here: <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content"> "every Saturday she arrives at three a.m. and builds the fires. She starts the meat smoking at four and wraps...

How was this skin in end (having to take it off and all?)

Now I can't wait until Saturday just to see how YOUR cook comes out. I'm trying to imagine the marinade smell - it seems like it would be really tasty!
