re: smokers and dry rub. How to?

Posted by Larry64 on 12/28/12 at 4:01 pm
My regular go to for ribs: texasbbqrub.com And 2-1-1 if you're crutching but if the ribs you purchase(d) have been injected by the seller, I don't think a wrap is necessary. (I would stay away from injected pork but if it's all that is available then it is what it is)...
I store it in the fridge and use it to add a small amount of smokiness to stuff like.. mac and cheese - just lightly saute the cracker or panko in bacon grease before putting it on top of the mac and cheese and then pop it all in the oven. add a little to any cornbread or hushpuppies also g...

Made a flatbread with fresh spinach, mushrooms, chopped garlic, and onions. Sauteed them in some butter, put them on a fresh pizza dough, threw on some feta cheese and baked. When it came out I drizzled some olive oil and dined. [img]http://sausagereviews.com/dinner/flatbread.png[/img]...

Well, having worked in the industry, it's always been my impression that pre-tax was the standard. It's not an issue of being cheap. It's just pretty much how it's been done and the fact that restaurants always add pre-tax shows that it is what the industry accepts as normal also. Not really wort...

Well, for me it was better in person then their mail order but I would never turn down their mail order que either so congrats. And two boxes is almost always better then one. OK bbq is usually better then almost all foods in New England with the exception of fresh seafood...that's my motto....

[quote]I tip 20% on pre-tax amount.[/quote] That's typically where I fall in the mix. Exceptions are made for poor service (less) and low checks like when the wife and I go to breakfast (typically a higher percentage because the check is small). You don't get a tip just because you showed up...

re: Best brand of microwave popcorn??

When I use microwave popcorn I always buy Orville fat free or something equally dumb and then melt a quarter stick of butter and dump it on. It's like ordering a double whopper and a diet coke but it works for me....

It depends on how much you want to ship but both [link=(http://www.bourquespecialties.com/)]Bourques[/link] and [link=(http://stores.teetsfoodstore.com/StoreFront.bok)]Teets[/link] sells and ships - that would be my recommendation. Maybe for less then 5lb you might try cajungrocer.com...

I have the artisan model and use it weekly. I do grind meat with it from time to time for hamburgers and it does just fine. However, it does get strained now and again when mixing dough and if I used the grinder attachment more often I would buy something better for that purpose....

re: Best Smoked Sausage is here...

Posted by Larry64 on 12/10/12 at 7:52 am
Conecuh is good sausage although I found it to be just a bit over-smoked - great for cooking with but a little strong for my taste when eating it straight. I had some Bourques Smoked Deer sausage a few days ago and that was pretty good as well - decent smoke and a nice peppery taste. I think I have ...
