Film? What's that?:D I'll wrap the tablet in plastic when I go out though.

Fire up the WSM of course! I had a slab curing this week so it was time to smoke it. Here's the bacon drying last night. And as long as I was making smoke, I figured I'd throw in a couple of other things. I checked the freezer and found some chicken that wasn't doing anything else so I...

More Iowa! Welcome!

Fantastic looking IOWA chops!

Looks awesome!

Buffalo Trace: My First Bourbon!

Thanks Jim and Happy New Year to everyone here!

Here's some sliced for sandwiches - no ring here: I don't know that it's a characteristic of brined birds. Thanks for all the comments folks!

Since it was a small gathering for us this year - just four of us - I did a turkey breast and one good sized leg. Brined the turkey in a prepackaged mix my folks gave me a while back. Salt, orange, juniper and other spices etc. Took just over two hours on the WSM pushing 300 - 350. Was tasty...

Looks fantastic! Time for me to get a couple more of slabs going!

Oh I'll definitely go back. And yeah, I would give the win to Bogarts. Sadly did not sample the pastrami. Something to look forward to! 17th St was a big disappointment a couple of years ago.

Well, I guess it was more of 'make it a combo' for $3.50 extra. I ordered the 1/2 slab dinner then added the extra meat... 9th and Lafayette Bogarts

Bogart's Smokehouse St. Louis - My Visit This past weekend, we visited friends in St. Louis. On our agenda was a visit to Bogarts: We aimed for an off time and we had no problems with crowds or lines as some have reported. We went about 4PM on Saturday. I went for the Rib and Meat Combo -...

Provel! thats St. Louis!

Jim, those are eggs! Score for Gary. But hey you get a plate either way. My wife likes them scrambled and I've been adding Penzeys Fox Point seasoning.

Thanks everyone - and for those who haven't tried it you really should. It's pretty easy to do.

Did another slab last weekend and just got it sliced up. Sweetened up the cure with maple syrup and brown sugar. Gets better and better!

My neighbors recently bought a couple of pigs at a locker. They've shared a bit of their bounty with us. One of the items they gave me was labelled a 'ham roast'. Wasn't sure what that is, but it looked like slice of the ham through a joint - possibly the dreaded 'aitch'? I wonder if it was the...

My second bacon: I purchased a 4lb piece of belly at a local butcher - skin was off. I cured it using Bob's method plus some maple syrup and brown sugar and a little pepper. Here it is after a week in the cure: flip side: After about 2 1/2 hours it was reading 140' throughout The...

Hey Shane! Always good to have another member in the neighborhood! Enjoy!
