    Beef heart

    If you haven't had beef heart, it's a must try. I've smoked it before and we all liked it. Lately I put some in my pressure cooker with an arm roast. I chunked up the heart getting rid of all sinew. I think I had it on high pressure for about 45-50 min. The roast was fall apart tender...

    Cajun lobster boil?

    Wondered if anyone had tried boiling lobster the same way you would crawfish. If you have, when would you cut the heat on a 1-1.5# lobster so it can "soak"? Is it a bad idea to soak or even cook them this way? Aside from cost/great taste of lobster as is, what do you think? Thanks

    Frog Legs

    Bought some frog legs a few days ago and decided to try them on the smoker. I've never had them or cooked them so I figured I had nothing to lose. I had 6 frogs and used 3 different rubs. The Rooster Booster is for chicken and I heard that these taste like chicken so I tried that. Then I...

    Smoked beef heart

    Smoked 1/2 a beef heart today. Cut off the silver skin, "rubber", and peeled off the membrane. There was a small piece that I cut separate from the main. It was flat, thin, and so I figured I would take that to 140 or so and the major part to 180, internal. Marinated for maybe an hr...

    Spicy boil for chicken?

    I'm not a big fan of chicken and boiling it is odd, we always grill or smoke...it's more manly(insert growl here:lol:) I'm wonder'n if boil'n it in a mix like a crawfish boil would add taste and if it would be very good. Would I use skinless breasts or legs/thighs? In a mood for that spicy...
