Jumped in with cold feet, bought a cheapie propane smoker for $100 (found a deal on SD.net).

First time ever



ABT's with cream cheese, chorizo, wrapped in pepper bacon.

Tomorrow morning I'll start a 10 lb butt, and maybe next weekend I'll try some ribs.

Did you bring enough for the whole class?

(because I really want to eat that now.)

+1 [thumbsup] Yummy! ;D [bacon] I have a friend that is the king of smokers and grilling. He could make an old tennis shoe melt in your mouth. Wish I had that cooking talent. All I can do is the dishes... but I'm damn good at it. ;D

Have fun with it.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

It's amazingly easy. When I bought my smoker I wasn't sure about it, but after the first try I laughed at how simple it is. Maintain your temp and resist the temptation to peek (a lot) and you're golden. Experimenting with different rubs and brines is tasty fun.

If I can do it, so can you.  :)

Cool! I have watched my friend in a decent drunken moment whip together a dry rub from stuff he picked out of the cabinet probably not even knowing what he was doing and crank out incredible results! No shit, on a bad day I eat better at his west TX ranch than I ever do at home! [clap] [popcorn] [bacon] [bow_down] The dude can cook! [thumbsup]... even somewhat drunk! [drink]

Well in fairness... in west Texas "somewhat drunk" translates to VERY VERY drunk anywhere else in the world.

Drinking and BBQing go hand in hand.  [beer]

Nothing much better than some good BBQ and homebrew.

[laugh] Yeah, dinner time usually ends up being closer to 11:00pm than not. [drink] [beer] [wine]

Not a load, but a "nakid fattie".

Don't make the mistake I did and google "nakid fattie"....the results are nothing like what you see here  [laugh]
