    Now THIS is a smoker

    Now this is a smoker. Their longest is 22 feet long, the shortest 9 feet. They use propane tanks, the kind that can fuel a house, not those little 22 pounders used on grills. https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7118030

    Ribs sticking to rack solution?

    My ribs always stick to the rack which a)leaves a mess and b)rips some meat off. I've tried spraying with Pam but not really ideal as the wire is well, thin and needs to be sprayed outside. I'm considering parchment pre-cut sheets (about 8" diameter) that are used in air fryers to place coiled...

    Finally got a Premium Brisket for cheap

    What with pandemic and post-pandemic pricing, availability of briskets are getting better with decent pricing. Prior to covid, I don't think I EVER even saw a brisket, let alone one at good price. Because of transpo issues (lack of drivers apparently), they had to "unload" briskets here in...

    Rye bread but

    baked in a pullman loaf pan. I do Lahey-type no knead breads exclusively but also vary the ingredients. I'll do two all white bread on occasion but will frequently change it up. As I grind my own flour, I have 1)wheat grain 2)rye grain 3)spelt grain grains that I will blend with unbleached...

    First brisket of the season

    Getting a whole packer brisket ready to smoke in my WSM smoker. This baby started at 16 lb but after trimming, she comes in at 14 lb (my last packer was 13 lb and lost 3 lb to fat so this one is the better version (y) ). This is 21" long trimmed This is with the rub on. Only one side as the...

    Scotch Cake

    Had our usual Rum Cake (google for Bacardi Rum Cake) with a golden rum base. It uses 1/4C in the cake and 1/4C in the "sauce" so 1/2C total. Was perusing recipe sites and as I like a good Scotch, included that in my search. Well, as much as I like Scotch and cake (not usually together), this...

    The stuff people think up to sell

    I think a rack works just as well but to each their own

    A 12lb brisket in the MICROWAVE in less than an hour! How does it turn out?

    Couldn't decide on where to put this post as it IS about brisket but I figure I'll leave it here and Chris can move it if needed. Guy's got a nice knife collection and is very enthusiastic about his craft. The vid is about 15 minutes long (and a commercial in the middle) but, well watch and...

    Bialy?

    Yup. Didn't know either but came across the word in a puzzle and thought I'd look it up. Turns out it's similar to a bagel but is baked (but not boiled). Very very slack dough but is extremely tender (like a papo seco). Gives a nice crusty bottom as well (all water, no milk). I'd recommend...

    Need a suggestion using mushroom & sage infused olive oil for grilled rib eyes

    For Sunday Mom's Day: As the title suggest, I've got mushroom & sage infused olive oil. Been trying to find some kind of sauce for grilled rib eyes but most are for mushroom & sage infused basalmic vinegar marinades. For base ingredients I have: - mushroom & sage infused olive oil - regular...

    Use aluminum foil to keep the WSM racks clean?

    Way too many hits on a search so: It's a PITA to have to scrub the racks after a smoke. Food gets cemented on there and I have to soak 'em for hours to try to loosen it. I was wondering if any have put down a sheet of foil THEN put your rolled rack's o' ribs on ?? As an alternative, spray the...

    My current experience

    with a diet that's going the rounds. Many many years ago I had a great deal of success with a low=carb diet. No bread, no spuds, no POPCORN !, etc. I was working at the time and took my own lunch. Never had so many ham sandwiches (slice 'o ham, slice 'o cheese, slice 'o ham) and pickles and...

    What is this?

    Daughter sent me this vid. Anyone know what it's for? That plunger goes down only part way.

    Oven-roast--not smoking it

    Started to question certain accepted methods of cooking a roast (in the oven BUT is probably applicable to the WSM). I can understand why you season ribs, steaks etc. They are pretty thin (comparatively speaking to a roast) so you'll get some spice flavour in every bite. BUT why a roast...

    Taking your food processor apart

    This is a weird question but: my 20 (30?) year old food processor is crapping out on me. There is the safety lock that allows the motor to turn when the lid is rotated. We're all familiar with that. I have to hit the top of the motor housing hard (it's belt driven so off to the side of the...

    Letting your steak/roast come to room temperature

    is a crock. I received a 45 day aged tomahawk steak (more of a roast but that's another story) of about 2.25 lb the other day. Needed to read up on the best way to do this. Now, one thing I think most of us have read is to let the meat come to room temp b4 cooking. How is a 2-3lb cut of...
