Larry, Bottling your own would be rather easy. I guess I should say, canning your own. Amazon.com has a nice canning kit for about ten bucks. BBQ Sauce has a very high acid content so you wouldn't need a pressure cooker. Just a hot water bath. If you don't like those Kerr or Ball canning jars...

I've always used ground black pepper right off the shelf in the little square can. I never really thought of grindimg my own. It seemed like too much work and what difference would it make anyways. Boy was I wrong. I recently got a pepper mill and some black, green and white peppercorns as a...

Take one package of Top Ramen Noodles and follow the directions but before you add the noodles to the boiling water - Toss in a half a cup of smoked meat from ribs, Brisket, Butt, Chicken etc. Toss in one chopped green onion. Toss in a handfull of frozen peas. Slice up one hard boiled egg and...

Thanks Jim, Looks like a great Thanks Giving coming up. Around here, Country Hams cost about 45 bucks but they go a long way. I could probably think of 100 different uses for the leftovers. Ham and bean soup being at the top of the list. Jim

I want to do a real Country Ham for Thanks Giving but not sure how to go about it. I know that they are already smoked but not enough for me. The ones I've eaten only had a very faint smokey taste. I cooked at a really good restaurant for four years. Dam near everything was made from scratch...

Now your talking about some real down home cooking good enough to make a Bulldog break its chain. Here's a site with a brief history of Brunsick Stew and five recipes. http://southernfood.about.com/library/weekly/aa980111.htm Jim

Jack, Reading your post here and lookig at Chris's recipe really made me hungry I'm gonna try that this weekend. Did you use King Salmon or will any Salmon do ? Jim

Joe, Thanks for the recipe. I'm gonna give it a try. I checked out your home brewing club link. They call you the sour guy. I guess that means you are really into brewing Lambic style beers? I brewed a few beers last year. Both came out great. one was a Pale Ale the other was a porter I made...

Mickey, She said that it was the inner shell. I found a web-site that mentiond smoking with coconut shells. It's not worth adding a link to it because they had little information. All they said was to use it sparingly because it's really potent stuff. Jim

Joe, Sounds like a great homebrew club. I wonder if Stout would make a good marinade. What sort of rub did you put on your ribs ? Jim

A friend of mine just came back from a trip to Thailand. She said she had the best Steak of her life. A little charcoal grill was wheeled out to their table and the chef cooked their steaks right there at the table. While the steaks were sizzling away, the chef would throw little chunks of...

Hey Sonny, Thanks for the tips. I almost forgot about getting a thermometer. I got one question. What would be best to oil up the cooking grates ? Jim C

Well Almost. Just ordered my WSM from Amazon.com The arrival date is Sept. 7th. Some of my friends are really excited. One of them just droped off 80lb. of charcoal. Another friend gave me a recipe for marinated chicken breast in Clam Juice and minced garlic. Ever hear of anything like that ? My...

Walnut, Hickory, and Pecan trees all look alike. How does one tell them apart and does Walnut give the same flavor as Hickory and Pecan. Thanks
