    Cold smoke generator

    Im not sure if this is the correct section for this post so I will leave it up to Chris. On another site there is a lot of talk about cold smoking. While many of us here dont use this method often when we do it can really be a pain. This contraption looks as though it works quite well and...

    Is the PitMinder good enough?

    Nope, doesnt matter to me a bit if the dial is a bit off. Im just trying to figure what to expect. Id rather creep up on the temp than shoot past it and fight to bring the cooker back down.

    What is the actual average over under on the settings on the pitminder? Ive heard some people talking about 20 degrees each way.

    NY Style Pizza Dough

    In my opinion if you plan on freezing dough I would say mix it up, spray the inside of a ziplock bag and put the dough ball in and freeze before ferment. Take it out and then ferment. If youre not getting the elasticity from the dough that you want then I would get some vital wheat gluten, you...

    Lamb or Goat Shoulder

    Mmmmm...Carribean style goat. Ive only had it a few times, and not q'd. It really is good and I can only imagine some nice sweet smoke with that tropical fruity heat. A sauce something along the lines of a mango habinero lime...with fresh cilantro. Ohhh...Im getting excited.

    First mock pastrami cook done (with pics)

    Ive been posting about corned beef and put on a 5lb flat with Chris' rub. I soaked it for an hour before putting on the rub and onto the smoker. Having lost patience I pulled the flat off after 7 hours and at a temp of 160. Having wrapped it and put it in a cooler for two hours I just had a...

    Ordered a Pitminder

    As a guy Id definately love to have all the bells and whistles and it being bonus season I could have gotten the DigiQ. However, this being bbq, and me feeling somewhat guilty about even getting a guru (for whatever reason I feel like its cheating...then again I need sleep) I know I wont use or...

    COrned Beef question

    I usually smell stuff. If it doesnt smell bad or run away from me I eat it. Much to my wife's chagrin. I havent died yet. These are the corned beefs that are in those little pillow packs with liquid in them.

    COrned Beef question

    SInce its almost St. Patty's day corned beef is available rather cheaply. I was wondering how long you think those prepackaged beef flats will last in the fridge or can I freeze them for later. They are in a brine bath so Im thinking pretty long. Anyone have any info?

    Ordered a Pitminder

    After reading all the posts and debating between the pitminder and digiqII I ended up ordering the Pitminder. I just purchased another ET-73 (this is the third one) and figured I wouldnt use or need the extras on the Digiq. The only nice feature I would have liked was the automatic shutoff...

    Tupelo Honey Bacon

    Thanks guys...as I was elbows deep in pork and applying the cure I realized that this was a dry cure. I dont know if this is gonna work. I mixed the #1, salt and honey in a bowl. Deboned the butt and put in in a ziplock bag then added the mix and then rubbed it all over. Got most of the air...

    Tupelo Honey Bacon

    I should have also asked should I inject the brine or submerge. If I inject is the cure time lessened?
