Ok, so let me FIRST start out by saying that I by no means am looking at buying this for Mother's Day. I may now know much, but I do know that you do not buy appliances for Birthdays, Mother's Day, or Christmas. In fact, my wife does not seem to mind ironing. However, I do.. What I am curious...

Today in Wisconsin we are getting some mightly nice snow. Along with that is some colder weather. Since we were already cleaning the house anyways, I thought it would be a perfect day to clean the oven, and add some extra heat in the process. Well, in the same breath, I remember some advice of...

Well, after about 2 years of research, shopping, and debating, I finally decided to break down and pay the good money for a Pellet Heating Stove. I own an "Antique" of a house at 160 years old. Even though it has a brand new basement, my house is far from efficient with the heating. The...

A month ago or so I was visiting my Grandmother yesterday and found a box of Pretzels. They were called Schultz Salty Stix. I tried a few of them and fell head over heals for them. Only problem was that she couldn't remember exactly where she bought them. Only clue I had was that it was probably...

I am curious if anyone here has a Black Walnut tree? Did it seem to bear a lot more nuts this year? I have 3, and I can't even walk through my back yard. I am going to have to take off an entire day of work just to get them picked up. I might save a couple to see if they're worth the effort of...

I have heard about these in-famous Burnt Ends, but I have a quick question. Can you make just a bunch of burnt ends? Or are they just a cut of a bigger hunk of meat? As I understand from my readings, the burnt ends are just cuts from the short end of the Brisket. But, I have also heard that...

I am wondering what cut of meat I can buy and smoke in the same fashion as a Pork Shoulder to leave me with a smoked shredded beef. Is Brisket the only cut, or the recommended cut? -Brad

I am looking for a TNT White BBQ sauce recipe. I have found a couple on the Internet using Google and what not, but I would like one that I know someone on here has tried. Note - I tried the forum's Search but either received no results, or 20 pages of results. Thanks in advance... -Brad

Does anyone have one of these? Kernel Cutter - Kitchen Krafts I just picked one up at my local Kitchen Collection, but it didn't come with any instructions. I've heard good things about them.. All that I really want to know is whether I cut the kernels off of the Cob before or after I boil...

I finally am home on a weekend in the summer to enjoy my CharGriller again. So here's what's "resting" on the CharGriller right now: 8 Pound Pork Butt for Carolina Pulled Pork 1 Rack of Pork Ribs 1 Pork Tenderloin - Used for Sandwiches later in the week 1 Full Salmon FilletI'll let you know...

I am curious if anyone has every had some sort of sliced pork in a salad? I am thinking about making a salad with Pan Seared Boneless Pork Loins. My first idea was a Honey Mustard Vinagarette including some French Fried Onions. Any other ideas? Does it sound good to anyone else? Has anyone...

I was curious if anyone else has tried the new General Mills Fruit Ripples. Sarah and I scored a free bag when we got Caleb's pictures taken at Target. Essentially, they are a dried apple, but to me, much more "Crispy" than any other dried apple I have tried.. My first thought was that based...

Being the poster boy for Suckers when it comes to new products in the grocery store, I picked up a bag of Doritos X-13D. For those of you who have not seen it, it's basically a test flavor that you are supposed to try and identify the flavor, and then afterwards, help the Doritos brand name the...

My wife and I were out at Wal-Mart and found a 4 pack of Muffin Top only Corn Bread Muffins.. Both being HUGE fans of the tops of Muffins, we decided to give them a try.. Turns out they are AWESOME.. Anyways, I did a quick search on Google for "Muffin Top Pan", and it turns out you can buy...

My wife and I celebrated the birth of our first child on Monday, January 8th. A strong baby boy (Caleb Matthew) who was born at 8.4 pounds, and 20 inches. The labor and delivery went outstanding. All along, Sarah was leaning towards an epidural, but wanted to hold out for as long as possible...

Anyone use their smoker in temperatures below or at freezing? I have a few times, but was wondering if anyone had any hints that they have learned over time? -Brad

Has anyone here successfully made a Kringle? I saw them on TV and found a few recipes.. They look good... I am just curious if anyone has any experience making it? -Brad

I generally understand the practical use of the Damper on any grill, but while researching smoking in general, I am finding a lot of recommendations to set based on the duration of the cooking. I found three separate sites that discussed always smoking with the damper completely open until the...

Like most everyone else, I have to work all week with the exception of Thanksgiving day. Because I am mostly an idiot, I promised four different families a smoked Turkey Breast for Thanksgiving morning. This weekend, I spent the entire weekend hunting, so that shot any chances of getting this...

Yesterday I gave my Char-Griller Offset Smoker quite a work out. Not only was it our first test in cold temperature, but I smoked quite a bit of food. I must admit, it was tricky keeping the temperature up passed 120 at times, but all-in-all it wasn't too bad. It wasn't as simple as my...

I had a meal at a restaurant recently (Not sure if it's local or not), and I had a great salad with a Cream Styled Asian Dressing. I was wondering if anyone has seen this commercially at the Grocery store, or have made something similar. It was very light, but definitely had a taste of...

To follow the true welcoming spirit of this forum, I wanted to introduce myself. I live in a town called Eau Claire (Prounounced "Oh Claire") located in Central Wisconsin with my amazing wife Sarah, and our two kittens (Frank & Bean). We are currently expecting our first child in January and...
