    Bob's Smokin' Wood

    I don't know if it has been mentioned here before or not. A quick search did not turn up any results. I have been a big fan of Smokinlicious wood but they do not sell Pecan, which I love to use. I recently ordered a 5lb box of Pecan chunks from Bob's Smokin' Wood The chunks are small in size and...

    Skin on or Off?

    I'm thinking about getting a pork belly and trying my hand at smoking some bacon. My question is do you smoke it with the skin on and then remove it or do you remove the skin before you cure it and smoke?

    Custom Grate

    I just received my custom grate for my 22.5 Weber Kettle Grill. My grand children call me Grampy and my last name is King, so that is where the crown came from. It is made out of 3/16" carbon steel and should last a long time.

    Beef Dilemma

    I have a dilemma about what to cook for the Super Bowl. I have cooked numerous briskets in my SI#2 with excellent results. I have recently been looking at the numerous posts on this forum about beef short rib plates and it is something that I definitely want to try but have never done. I have...

    Enough Smokers

    RG, I hope you don't take any offense to this but I could not help but think of you and your penchant for having multiple smokers when I saw this. I am sure this applies to many more in this group as well (me included). ;D

    Grilled Tuna

    I have a neighbor that went deep sea fishing recently and brought back some tuna steaks and wants me to grill them for her. I need some suggestions/guidance on how to grill it. This will be the first time I have ever grilled tuna so any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

    PK Grills

    I started my 4th of July weekend off right. Earlier this week I entered a contest for a PK Grill give away sponsored by Southern Bancorp. They held the drawing this morning and I won! I have never seen one of these PK Grills before but they look pretty nice. I have used a Weber kettle grill for...

    Fatty Experiment!

    After seeing all of the fatty posts on here I decided I needed to give one a try. So today I started off with 1-1/5 lbs of thick cut bacon and made a bacon weave. Then I rolled a pound of Tennessee Pride Hot breakfast sausage inside a gallon zip lock bag with the corners cut off to allow air to...

    Pulled Chuck Roast Experiment

    I have never made pulled beef before, so today I decided to try something new. I started off with a couple of 3 1/2 lb chuck roasts. I brined them over night in DM's Pork/Brisket brine. This morning I coated them with yellow mustard and rubbed them down with Suckle Busters Competition BBQ Rub. I...

    Chicken for Dinner

    My wife has decided to go on a diet and for some reason she thinks I need to be on one too. ::) Anyway, had the day off for the MLK Holiday, so smoked chickens and boiled turnips were on the menu. I brined the chicken for 7 hours and rubbed them with my modified version of Memphis Dust. Put them...

    Vaughn Wood Products

    I am curious to know if anyone has ever ordered wood from this company? I have researched their site and it seems to be very comparable to Smokinlicious that so many on here use. They a located in Osceola, Missouri and shipping is included and the prices seem to be pretty comparable with...
