    Forgot to remove the fat cap!

    HMMMM..... Do you just mix it in with the meat when you pull it or discard it? I have always removed the fat cap so I don't know what to do with it. Thanks, Tom

    For BBQ sauce: Light or dark brown sugar?

    Any preferences here for light or dark? I just buy one onetime and the other another time. Never really sat them dowm side to side to see if there are any real differences. What is your preference to put in a sauce? Thanks, Tom

    No. 5 Sauce

    Steve, I forgot to post it, but on the fourth of July, I had a bunch aof people over. I put out three homemade sauces two of mine (one vinegar and one tomato based) and your # 5 sauce. The one that was most consumed by far was the # 5 sauce. I belive the sweetness is what got them. I like my...

    4th of July Cooking

    I've got two butts going but, I had to pull one and put it in the oven to get the temp up so it will be ready for the time we are going to eat. I left the other one on the smoker, if I cook them seperately they both will cook faster. When I checked this morning the smoker temp was low and I've...

    Grilled Sea Scallops

    Ray, I came across this recipe after I had cooked some scallops for my wife on Mother's Day. I noticed it's been out here a while but I just didn't bother to look for a new recipe. What I did is similar, I have a cuban cookbook that has some things I found work great for seafood. I tinker...

    No. 5 Sauce

    Steve, I made this before I had cooked my chicken so at the time I didn't have any drippings to put in it. Also, I just went with the recipe you posted for the first time making it so I thought, why not just follow a recipe for a change. When I make it again I'll start tinkering with it but for...

    No. 5 Sauce

    Steve, This was nice, easy to make and tasted good. I've been trying for a year to come up with something that my wife and daughter would really like and this appears to have worked. Most of the tomato sauces I have tried had more vinegar and at least some mustard in them. this was a nice...

    Basic but good sauce

    David, Do you think it would work with powdered garlic instead of fresh? I have tried fresh in my sauces and for some weird reason I tend to like the powdered better. I guess I dont use it quick enough or something. The fresh garlic sometimes gives me the hibitty-jibbities. It's not that I...

    An odd question on ribs.

    I just picked up a couple of slabs of ribs from BJ's to cook this weekend. I know the pack is too muuch to eat and I was going to vacuum seal and freeze half and cook the other half. I then got thinking, Would I be better off cooking them all and then frezing the uneaten portion? Or would it be...

    Roadside Chicken

    I'm going to be totally un-original and say that this recipe was really good . It was some of my favorite chicken I have grilled. Finally got to use my new kettle I got for Christmas and cooked it on that. I will cooked it again. Thanks for the recipe. Tom

    My take on sauces...

    I haven't searched to see if they are unique or not but, here are a couple I like (tomato and vinegar based). My vinegar is kind of a bastardized version of eastern and western Carolina. I like a very small amount of ketchup in it, almost just enough to give it a little more color. I do bring...
