As far as seasoning a smoker I have always done it in a semi 2 part process. 1st step is a small (1 or 2 handfuls of charcoal) burn in for a couple hours and let it get hot this burns off any manufacturing oils or impurities. Then i let it cool for a few hours but the metal is still warm to...

      You guys should do a trade, just so happens each of your States have the best of each the other one wants or needs. For Rob his state offers the best (and probably only crayfish and boudin) and Eric's state has a company that makes probably the best smoker pellets made. Not trying to...

Also may want to check out your local Wally World, best price I've seen by far. This is the time of year where if you find charcoal or wood chips/chunks on clearance load up. A few years ago Home Depot had the 2 20lb bundle packs on clearance for $8ea I enough charcoal for a couple of years.  ...

I used to see B&B at my local Safeway, but I have since moved and they have been bought out by Albertson's, so I'm unsure if they still carry it.

Candy thermometers compared to meat thermometers differ because they are each calibrated for different temperature ranges, eg candy making looks for a melting point of sugar which is around 320 so no a candy thermometer would not work as the temp range would be out of range. But as you said...

I am on a couple different BBQ forums and have read a few reviews about Cowboy brand lump charcoal, I would steer clear. Some people were finding plastic chunks mixed in their bag others were finding partialy charred parts of pallets and other dimensional lumber chunks. Also I wound ditch the...

I did 4 plants in individual DWC set-ups last winter for the first time. I started mine from seed not a mature plant. I lost my 3' Scorpion plant (my mistake) early this year due to running out of water, went on vacation and lost 2 more pepper plants due to house sitter mixing nutes wrong, and...

Nothing more than a normal menu at this house. I fix some ultra bland B.S for the stepson, and usually a tame version of something for the wife and then my meal This is not everyday, but most. I enjoy smoking and cooking and trying new things but most importantly like constructive criticism.  

Just curious about what people's plans were for their Super Bowl party foods. For me I will be smoking a pork shoulder, I will do that the Saturday before the SB and shred it for many different options, maybe flautas/(taqitos), or red beans and rice, or nachos, or just good 'ol pulled pork...

I've watched some of his videos, he has that "Bob Ross effect"  Just kinda out there....     After watching a couple videos and the wife walks in while he is singing one of his tunes, got one these looks    

I don't know if it's too late but a few weeks ago (the week before Christmas I went to Home Depot and wandered through the garden area they had several large planters marked down more than 50%. Also had different fertilizers marked down, I lucked out and bought a bunch of EarthJuice liquid ferts...

Time to breathe life back into this thread. I mostly use store bought rubs for my smoking depending on the occasion. My quick and easy for chicken is from Weber called Kickin' Chicken. For beef I just keep it simple with SPOG. And for pork my FAVORITE is John Henrey's Pecan...

Good to know definitely don't want to microwave my plants. What about supplemental lighting with t-5's. I have spare t-5 fixtures that I could use, with aquarium t-5's they are not rated in kelvins but nanometers, i.e. an atinic bulb which is very blue typically runs at 420nm which is right in...

Hi, my other hobby is aquariums so I have different spare parts and lights lying around. On my big tank I run a fixture with dual MH bulbs and 4 T-5 bulbs so I have bulbs to spare, for my grow tent I recently purchased a HydroFarm 250w HPS/MH fixture. I know the blue light spectrum is important...

Hi, my wife and I recently decided to do a garden next year and I plan on including several different types of peppers. I already have a ton of questions ready about different super hots and I know the people on this forum have the answers.
