I was able to get the Texas Pete at our local Kroger. The first time I made it, I didn't have the Chimayo yet either, so I just used mild Chipotle, they were GREAT! There is hot & mild Chimayo, I used mild and at least 1 tsp, and even at that, still thought I only had the slight twinge after a...

Kevin I was replying to J. Biesinger's request before I realized your answer was there. Thank you once again for your detailed and concise response. Like you, I just try to limit these things when I can.

It's been a long time so I don't remember all of the details, but I had taken a class one time with a nutrionist (actually he was both an MD and a PHD in nutrition). I think it was mostly the combination of both nitrites and nitrates together that was bad news. But I try to avoid either when I...

Thanks for the great info! If this comes out as good as it sounds, I can't imagine it lasting long enough to go bad, hah! But I would actually probably freeze some. Anyway, your detailed explanation was a great help! I'll have to check into getting this stuff and trying it out. If it goes...

Thanks! We don't have a market like the one mentioned in one of the posts above, I guess this would be something you would have to request special from a meat market? We used to have a meat market close, but it's gone. There are still a few left in town. May take a little research.

I spoke too soon. I looked on amazon.com for pink salt, saw so many that I had to look at the other to see the difference, I now realize the pink salt recommended comes with sodium nitrate already in it that is what I am trying to avoid. I was glad to see the post referring to venison summer...

You guys are killing me with this thread! I now must see where I can find pork belly locally and likely order that book. Mouth is watering thinking about it. Not crazy about store bought maple bacon, but willing to try this, and I already have the maple sugar and syrup thanks to a local maple...

Steve, you made me smile when ate the sauce! Put some of the leftover BCC in it today, quite tasty! Thanks for all of the great information you and others provide.

Good points and suggestions. Thanks for the tips! I will try just a couple of additions to the cavity next time.

I did 2 BCC last night. I don't know what each weighed, but the 2 were 11 lbs. The smaller one on the lower grate touched the top grate (had to "smoosh" down). The 2nd nearly touched the lid. Next time I will try just flat on grate, with water/beer and whatever in water pan, I don't see why...

I made this yesterday to try with Beer Can Chicken, even though the BCC absolutely did not need any help! Another vote however for a great and simple sauce! I love easy! I made it my own with: - I had some Chimayo Chili powder from the Barbie's Beans recipe, instead of 1 T of chili powder, I...

Thanks! I was just wanting to be lazy and plop them on the grates, but I went ahead and put them on and used the beer cans just for kicks. Added more beer and some aromatic veggies to the water pan just for kicks. I put on chicken on each rack. I know the lower one won't budge, because I...

Quick question on the beer can chicken. With all of the moisture from the water pan, do you think they would do just as well flat on the grate? I have 2 that need to be done either today or tomorrow. Another thanks for providing this site. It has made all the world of difference to me in my...

I've never really thought about a larger WSM, but it always has been just a bit tight for a whole ham, whole turkey, or even full slabs of ribs. The new size will be welcome!

Bryan, I ordered from the Santa Fe School of Cooking referred earlier in this thread. I wonder if the heat level is the difference of why the original recipe only called for 1/4 teaspoon. I have to keep the heat down for my Dad, even left out shot of tabasco first time, but added this time...

My Chimayo chili powder came in last week so I am anxious to try. I went up to a full tablespoon of chipolte powder last batch with no real notable difference. I have pics, but haven't had time to read the posting instructions yet. I used a stainless steel bowl that is about 13" wide and 6"...

Okay, so I still don't see how 1/4 teaspoon of Chimayo Pepper can add... there was so much hype, I had to order some. So it won't be in this batch, but definitely the next! Ouch! The shipping & handling was so painful, I doubled the order just cut down the average, hope this stuff is good!

Perfect! Wow, that site has some really nice stainless steel paella pans too if you could figure out how to get the handles off. A little more expensive, but love the cleanability of stainless! (Is that even a word?) Thanks for the link!

I know I can't use it for an overnighter, as I am about to do with some pork shoulder, but for a lesser cook like chicken breast or salmon, has anyone tried burning down regular wood and feeding as coals? I know it would be a pain through the tiny access through the door, but I just cut down a...

I have not ordered, but I think I did pick up some in the store, one of the few times I got to visit one. Having said that, I am a very regular customer, and they have one of the BEST customer service departments I have ever dealt with. If you try it and are not satisfied, I am totally...
