Hail Centralites! Deep fried our first turkey yesterday. I am please to report a flawless performance with zero mistakes. However, we did not inject the bird as recommended because we just didn't have a recipe for a good injection marinade. What y'all shootin' your birds up with? 8)

Did some hickory and plain flavor on the 008 Cookshack Smokette. It's pretty easy and the results are fabulous. Used the HiMountain jerky kit, cure and flavorings. We followed the "QDogg Method" technique as described by MainelyDave. A1Sooner cautioned me about sending out too many...

Happy New Year gang! Just to let you all know Mrs. Airboss surprised me with a brand new Cookshack Smokette for Christmas. The old Char Broil H20 will be shipped off to son Greg. I have no idea what he'll do with it. Last night we did our first butt. It was all too easy. I seasoned the...

Seasons greetings gang! Does anyone have a good jerky recipe, idea, technique? Mrs. Airboss surprised me with a Cookshack Smokette 008 for being such a good boy this past year and I'm anxious to try some.

Problem: I brought home a 11 lb brisket (whole packer) It is approx 2 inches longer than my 15 in grill grate. I can't imagine how I'd cut 2 inches of this thing without ruining it. I've heard you can "fold" it under until it cooks itself smaller. Also hard to imagine while its still in the...

With the passing of Dennis approx 230 miles off our part of the coast, the mind turns once again to barbecue. Mrs Airboss and I stumbled upon a beauty 7 lb flat at BJ's and snapped it up. It seemd to be calling to us. I have all the coaching needed from son Greg but would still like to get the...

Picked up a 11.5 "fully cooked" ham with a bone. We're gonna slow smoke it today. Have you ever done one? The books say "slow cook to 140 internal at ~220 degrees." Any guesses how long that might take based on your experinnce? It's 8:30AM now and I'd like to eat before midnight...

First ever ribs on the smoker. I've done a zillion ribs with every other kind of cooker and grill but this is an event. I owe it all to Son Greg. Happy Father's Day!

Whatcha got for these guys? Where do you get the best peppers. Believe it or not the ones we get here in S.W. Fl. are kind of puney. I know it's hard to believe.

Now that the maiden voyage is behind me I need to do a post mortem to determine what went right and what could be done better next time. The most obvious area for improvement was the smoke from the wood chucks. The Charbroil H2O electric model # 475451205's heating element is suspended approx...

8 lb pork butt went on the CharBroil H2O electric this AM at 6:15. So far I've only called Greg once but the day is young. It is now 10:00AM and we're holding steady at 220 degrees in the smoker and 117 degrees in the meat according my Weber digital. Using apple wood chunks from CookShack...

We just flew back from CTown and we had a great time with the kids and our beautiful grand daughters. And, as many of you know I was looking forward to watching the prep and preparation of pork butt as performed by son Greg. Words fail me. The culinary delight was only surpassed by the...

Welcome back to me. I just purchased an electric smoker (CharBroil) Please spare me the wimpy smoker editorials. What I need is directions to find recipes and directions. Your encouragement would be appreciated as well. There was no book or cooking direction included with the machine. Only...
