I'm a huge fan of fruit wood. I usually rely on the kindness of strangers with pruning saws and the frequent Pacific NW Pineapple Express windstorm to provide my needs. I actually bought a bag of peach wood. Upon opening it, I found that it had spots that, well, MOVED. Close inspection...

Damn. I WAS going to do only a single, maple BB butt. Now I guess I'll double down and add a cracked black pepper as well...

I'm gave my son a bullet for his birthday, but he hasn't adopted it, yet. I'm going to honey brine a bird and take it to him so we can smoke it together. Also giving him a box of Buckboard Bacon seasoning for christmas.

Hmm. Weather too bad. Nope, can't get the concept! A windbreak and overhead protection from rain and you should at least be able to fire up and smoke a whole chicken for a couple of hours.

Dennis: C&C carries 40 pound bags of Lazzari at $13. I've pretty much used it exclusively over the past 2 years and becomed accustomed to its quirks and behavior. Fires up reliably, no temperature spikes, minimal smoke. Bags usually come with some HUGE chunks which must be broken down and a...

Hopefully this isn't too much of a tangent... The Shakers are/were a "sect" religion primarily in the mid-eastern USA, that eschewed modernity, idolatry and self-aggrandizement. They were very devoted to god and subscribed to the scripture, "By their deeds shall ye know (the devoted)". Their...

TVWB Turkey Thread I haven't done 2 birds at a time, but I generally double up on my cooks. Last time, I had some home made sausage keep the bird company. Per the Turkey thread, your indicated temps are spot on.

Hey Sam: Roast over high heat like 320 will consistently yield tough meat. A roast is definitely a low & slow venture. Witness the many recipes for slow cooker pot roast. Anyway, Click HERE for the stogie recipe I used for my cook. Follow it closely and you'll be well pleased.

Dennis: Sorry you're feeling under the weather, man. Get better soon. We need to get together and smoke sometime!

The Plan: Beef Roast a la Stogie Modification: substitute beer for beef broth. Used my LAST BOTTLE of Cave Creek Chile Beer - that's right, the one brewed with a serrano chile in every bottle! Conditions: Woke up to a dusting of snow. In the 3 hour window between flurries, I fired up the...

Looks goooooood! In fact, I've half a mind to go fry up some of my own. The ingredients list maple sugar, but I may just add a cup of maple syrup next time I do the BB. I fully appreciate your inclination to never buy store bought bacon again.

Buy some 2 gallon size zip lock bags for brining. Holds a single shoulder quite well and makes it easy to rotate the shoulder once a day. After the smoke, let the shoulder rest for an hour then refrigerator overnight before thin slicing. Get a seal-a-meal or food saver. One 8 pound...

I haven't put water in the water pan for almost a year and I find temperature control to be pretty easy.

Last weekend, I smoked up my 2nd batch of Buckboard Bacon. I monitored the temp's a bit closer this time around and pulled it from the bullet within 5 degrees of 140. Let it cool at room temp for 90 minutes, then foiled and chilled overnight. Sliced and vacuum sealed the next day. The...

Congrats! Don't it feel good?

A whole lot of wood was blown over during the '06 <STRIKE>Rosie O'Donnel</STRIKE> Hannukah Day storm. I spotted some downed trees just above I-5 near Tukwila. After a quick online consultation of photos and descriptions, I identified the trees as alder. Drove back, scooped it up and drove...
