    Forschner Knive Set- Which handle?

    Susan Z, The blue "fibrox" handles are Forschner's Microban handles. They are impregnated with an anti-microbial agent. While you still should clean the knives after your are done, they are an extra piece of security. I have a couple of Microban boning knives that I have for use on chicken...

    Ribs and amount of time in foil

    Wow maybe I am lost here... but I always thought that 3-2-1 was the foiling technique for small-medium sized spare ribs. All the guys that I know that do 1.75 lb baby backs w/ foil do a 3-1-1 or a 2-2-1.

    Forschner Knive Set- Which handle?

    Hi Sonny, I rose wood, fibrox and their mirco handles... I really like natural materials but the synthetics are probably a better knife handle material. You might want to try Cutlery & More... they tend to have some of the best prices around on Forschner stuff... They actually have the same...

    First brisket advice

    John W, The dates on the cryovac are SELL BY dates and usually give a couple of days leeway. However since your are asking, I have 4 briskets sitting in my fridge right now. They are still in their cryovac. Mine are marked MAR12. Just check the date on the label. But you bought them last...

    How much charcoal used during a cook?

    Doug, Some of the best spare ribs that I have ever cooked have been on the WSM and they were all long cooks. The times for those cooks were all over 9 hours. I keep the temp low and render all of that intramuscular fat out of the spares. The meat doesn't fall off the bone but, with the...

    Mr Brown rub - too spicy

    no, you didn't screw up. it is a very peppery rub. If you would like a sweeter rub, I'd recommend using 2-3 parts of sugar to every part of salt. A sample sweet rub would look like this... <UL TYPE=SQUARE> <LI>1 CUP Turbinado Sugar (aka 'Sugar in the Raw') <LI>1/2 CUP Brown Sugar (oven dried)...

    Been trying different commercial rubs...

    DWAIN, I retasted the OBQ Sweet and I am now of the opinion that it's unique taste is from the use of cinnamon, cardamon and clove. STEVE, I started down this path in an effort too see what some of the winning rubs taste like in an effort to create a "winning" rub. What I have learned is...

    Buckboard Bacon

    Bruce, thanks for posting your results... my girlfriend was actually asking me about making bacon in the smoker on Monday. I was thinking about buying a belly but, since I have about 40 of them in the freezer, I'll do your recipe with a pork butt. Thanks again Bruce... SA

    Been trying different commercial rubs...

    to get different ideas for my own rubs. So now I have a question about OBQ Sweet and OBQ Sweet and Heat... is that cinammon & cardamon that I am tasting? Maybe Tarragon?

    What kind of BBQ is popular in your area?

    Jeff, Having lived in the Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego areas over the years, I whole heartedly agree that Southern Californians have no clue when it comes to BBQ. When it comes to BBQ, the style of BBQ that is most popular in Southern California is... CRAPPY BBQ. This is the land...

    Finding Boston Butt and Brisket

    At 2 per week, you'll need another case of butts after 5 weeks. Seriously though... Try Sam's Club, they are always doing the "shop for a day" promotion, or a place like Smart & Final. Smart & Final is a little on the expensive side, I can get slightly cheaper prices @ Sam's, but they...

    Smoked Vegetables & Smoked Garlic

    Brad & Jim, the reason I was asking was to see if Jim was seasoning from the cut top. Garlic is cheap in California... most folks just do a couple of them. They just cut the top 1/4 off, roast the other 3/4ths and just squeeze the garlic out. There is a lady in Malibu... the garlic lady...
