What's for dinner tonight?

[Paula]

If I win the powerball I'm paying someone to clean this crockpot

Clean it?! No buy a new one!!!

[Marion]

Venison burgers with goat cheese , bacon and Frank's sweet chili sauce

You tried to elevate a burger too far. I am disappointed

You Can't Beat My Meat!

[Elmo]

Federal law states that every home "Must" have a "slow cooker/crock pot"….In the future you should watch yourself Mister!!

I was in compliance. It was simply sitting in my closet collecting dust for several years.

I was about to contact the "Crockpot Cops".

Little mini venison hot dogs for pigs in a blanket and some frozen onion rings.

Left over baby-back ribs I made yesterday, and dirty rice with garlic-cheese Italian sausage. The g/f picked up the sausage on sale and it was OK at best.

you smoke the ribs ?

[DirtTime]

No, I just slow cooked them on the grill for 6 hours with indirect heat. I don't have a smoker.

you need a smoker as does anyone else without one ! So many great things come off of mine. It's so easy and so much you can do with it. Beer can chicken , salmon , trout for trout blt's , wings , venison , turkey , cheddar , pork tenderloin , almonds. Etc.

Which smoker do you have again TF? I know you mentioned it before.

[DirtTime]

I don't need a smoker. I do just fine with what I have at my disposal in the circumstance.

Masterforge I got for Father's Day about 4-5 years ago. Wife got it at Lowes for like $60.  A few friends got me into smoking. Some have Weber's almost exact to this and paid $300. They advised me to buy this one as they agreed you don't need a Weber's and overpay. I leave it out all year, shovel around it and use it almost weekly. I felt overwhelmed when I first got it. It's so easy to use and can't mess anything up. I'm sold you really have to try to "oversmoke" something as well. One chimney (the charcoal starter oversized coffee mug looking thing) gets me 225 degrees. I haven't found outside temps effect smoking temps. Wind, gets a little tricky but I put it partially in the exterior garage. Some people may be hip on electric smokers, I'm not sure, never used one. All I know is charcoal is easy peasy. I mostly use apple, cherry, pecan chips. Mesquite and hickory are a deeper smoke which I don't prefer.

yeah,that's nice.... but what do the men order?

[The_Real_TCIII]

I've got an electric smoker and for the three times it worked it was awesome. Then it broke and after much googling I found out it can't be repaired. I bought an element at cabelas and put it in but can't keep it below 300, it's made for a bigger smoker.

I need to find a way to regulate it but it's pretty complicated from

what I've read and I'm no electrician

[growalot]

Chicken tenders marinaded in a teriyaki honey,chopped scallions garlic and fresh ginger. Then glazed onions,garlic, yellow peppers, broccoli floweretts,snow peas, sun dried tomato in a sesame oil dash of soy sauce(until just heated and firm)....line a baking dish with veggies then top with tenders and the marinade and bake at 400 for 20-25 mins served with rice and a side of our garden carrots with maple glaze and Cinnamon

PS...forgot one of the best ingredients..fresh cut pineapple chunks sauteed with veggies....

First batch of venison jerky 2016!

First batch of venison jerky 2016!

Is that ground with the seasoning added and jerky shooter ?

I bought a shooter and used it once. Didn't like the finished product and we used the jerky as dog treats.

I do however make killer jerky with muscle meat , the store bought mix and cure but dr. it up a bunch. Matter of fact you've inspired me to make some tomorrow.

Venison stew and homemade bread for dipping.
