Here are some hefty bone in ribeyes we did on our camping trip last year...    

You can pretty much use any wood for smoking except for conifers.

After one heavy application, it appears that all of my aphids are gone from the plant. I am very surprised it was that simple. All of the ants seem to have left also which is good. I will continue to monitor and maybe give them a spray every 7-10 days to make sure they don't come back. I am...

So I got some plant bug spray at home depot a couple days ago. It is a Neem Oil based spray that says it gets aphids among other things. It says to spray in the mornings or evenings but doesn't say how often. I gave my plants a good spraying yesterday but skipped today since I have a few pods...

Wow, that's crazy. Luckily in my case they are not farming them and they are just super tiny little white ones. I find dead ones on the leaves sometimes.

What do you mean farm them? I can literally watch the ants eating them which is why they are probably there, a constant food source.

So I recently have started noticing big red ants on my pepper plants. On further inspection I also see that I have aphids but the ants are eating all the aphids. Nice, or so I thought since the ants are not really hurting the plant at all. This morning when I was watering one of them, it looks...

  Yeah, I am going to go with no on that one. I do want to taste it since I am a glutton for punishment but probably only a small piece.

 

Finally starting to get some color change.  

They are getting bigger. How long until they start to turn colors?  

Here is the same pepper a week later:     This one is on the same plant:  

  No, I added the pear into the blender cold.

Well, let me start by saying what I didn't do...I didn't cure cancer, I didn't adopt a bunch of hungry puppies and i didn't create the best damn hot sauce you've ever tasted. What I did do was try my hand at creating a from scratch hot sauce/something. At the end of the day, I am very happy with...

So here are some recent ones.   Before:   After:    Some ribs     More ribs

Today is the day ladies and gentlemen.For those not following along I have a Datil-hab cross and plenty of them with good flavor and plenty of heat. So for starters I am going to cook/roast my hot peppers in a cast iron pan until I have the desired color and consistency. In another cast iron...

Thanks for all of the input. I was actually pretty busy this weekend so I didn't get around to making the sauce but I did get all of the peppers cut and took out all of the seeds. I'll keep you posted.

Sounds like a plan, probably will toss in a little garlic as well.

I want it hot but with a sweet note. The sauces I make with peppers are usually too hot for normal people to enjoy so I want to do something more user friendly.

Last season my dad gave me a couple zip lock bags full of some peppers that he had extra. They are a Datil - Habanero cross of some sort I think. Either way, I am making room in my freezer this weekend so I thought I would try to make a new sauce. I do not want to ferment this one just process...
