I was looking for something to smoke this weekend and it hit me as I was scooping out 2 pumpkins for the little ones. I put the seeds in a tin foil cake pan that I had poked a bunch of holes in. Salted the heck out them and cooked for about 2 hours at 300 degrees. I also used handful of apple...

Well it is 8:15 a.m. here in Colorado and we are already eating Barbeque. My coworker brought his brisket and between the brisket and the pulled pork warming up in crok-pots everyone one was drooling. Someone brought rolls and another potato salad and cole slaw. Normal holiday treats and...

Couple of other quick notes - Bought a big bag of the Jack Daniels pellets for both smokes. Guerilla marketing does work - Thanks for the original samples Candy! Rubbed both the ribs and the butts with some St. Louis style rub from Sam's. Mixed half and half with a Mesquite rub that has a lot...

Thanks Keri, I take your suggestions as if they were chisled into stone tablets. I have read so many of your posts I feel like I am related to you or something! Thanks again for steering a newbie in the right direction.

Is it possible to over smoke a brisket? The reason I am asking, I did the turkey thing last week and agree with what has been said on this forum before, the smoke flavor increased over night. For the brisket, I had Mesquite Charcoal, cherry pellets, and more mesquite chips. Tasted great last...

I feel like the ugly stepchild here, but I really like talking and listening to you people here on this board! Here is my confession. I did my first brisket yesterday on my ECB. Trying to maintain 2 kids and a wife on 1 salary and a free ECB, what can I say? Anyhow, What a great cook I had...

I just placed my order for Jack Daniels, Apple, and Cherry. Thanks Keri for the info and thanks Candy for the samples!

Wow Bryan, thanks for the link! I am going to have to try this next cook. This site amazes me with the amount of information, all you have to do is ask.
