  1. He said he may have another. I was putting my hat in the ring for that one. And good score bro. I still have the other lanyard that was a group buy. This one just looks a little beefier.

    Completely missed that... oops. This one does look beefier . glad I got it cuz my other one snagged on a corner and broke the one i had.

  2. Can't beat a good pulled pork sammy. Looking good there Dan... Now whats this "special" sauce u speak of?

     

    Bryan, smoking cheese is about as easy as it gets! U use those tubes John is talking about and works like a champ every time. The only thing to get down is how long you want to smoke it for. Also, the hardest part is letting the cheese rest for 3 weeks or so before eating it. The smoke flavor will be way to over powering if not. I still have cheese in the fridge from early this year. I vacuum seal it and it should last forever without mold. They say the longer you let it sit the better it becomes. So far with my little experience I would have to agree though.

     

    Another thing you can do to help the temps stay lower in the smoker is freeze a couple of gallons of water and place it in there with the cheese. I put mine in the water bowl.

  3. Weber kettle 22" is a great grill! I love mine. Plenty of room to fit enough food for the entire family (there is 7 of us) and easy to control temps as well. i would def recommend it. John that grub looks good! Got some beef ribs left that may be calling my name soon. That pimento cheese is quite addicting!

  4. Did you sprit it with apple juice at all or something like that.

    I does sound really good though!

    No I did not sprits the meat at all while on the smoker. I've read to inject it with beef broth to keep it a little more moist. Also wondering if wrapping it during the smoke would help as well... I will do more searching before I give it a go again.

    As promised, some pics...

    Pulled the brisket off at 190°F and seperated the point from the flat. Wrapped the flat at this point to rest. I used the temp and prob test to check for doness of the flat.

    All sliced up and as you can see not as much juice as I would have hoped for.

    Burnt ends on the other hand were amazing!!! Rubbed it with some home made bbq sauce and poured some beer in as well.

    Bonus pic of the blueberry cobbler. Recipe was given to me by Downeast Johnny" This was sooooo good! The whole thing was gone last night. I had 3 servings myself lol!

  5. Just made my first brisket and burnt ends. Smoked for almost 8 hours and the burnt ends got an extra 3 hours. Overall the burnt ends where tender and full of flavor. The brisket came out a little dry. But I will def be giving it another go!

    For some reason I can't figure out how to upload pics from my new phone. Gonna have to do it tmrw.

  6.  

    That was an friendly butt. I don't think that I've ever smoked one under two hours a pound. Could be the 270* throughout helped the smoke go quicker.

     

    That tater salad sure looks good. Think Jenn would give up the recipe?

    Red onions, carrots, green onions, celery salt, mustard powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, mayonnaise and paprika. No set measurements. She eyeballs everything tasting along the way. Oh and hard boiled eggs
  7. Hey guys got a little change of pace from smoking... But I couldn't think of a better place to share it than with a bunch of guys that like to eat! Made 3 "shooter" sandwiches at work last night. Really easy and some great flavor! Ingredients used were ham, turkey, hard salami, muenster, colby jack, pepper jack, provolone cheese, italian sausage and of course bacon! Picked up 3 whole loaves of bread as well.

    First step hollow out the bread and save the top

    Next start layering the goods. We did meat, cheese, meat, cheese etc.

    MORE CHEESE! We did not use any mayo or mustard. I didn't think it needed it after trying it. Honestly we forgot to put it in though lol

    The other 2 we made

     

    20150718_001824_zpsfehwwi83.jpg

    wrapped em up in foil and grabbed as much weight as we could find to put on top of them. Let the weight sit on top of them for about 3 hours and then tossed them in the oven... Went in at 400°F for 20 mins. (coulda used about 10-15 more minutes to get everything a tad bit hotter)

     

    20150718_032240_zpsphp7fdxc.jpg

    Everything out of the over and ready to be cut

    Final product. Look at all those layers!!!

    And one more for good measure. Hope you guys enjoyed this.

  8. Did not get a chance to smoke anything on the 4th like I was hoping... But I am working on my home made bacon! Did 14 days in a brine and smoke them yesterday for 9 hours. Gonna slice them and package them up tmrw. Super easy to do and comes out great. I would def recommend it to any one.
