    What Are You Drinking? July 2024

    So, I'm not a fan of IPAs. But my lady's mom is and brings me 6 packs to try (and I don't complain). This one is decent, but Two Hearted is still the gold standard. I recently got into peach and mango green tea (powder mix). Maybe I'll stop being lazy and make some sun tea or Lipton's in...

    Only One Blend

    With cigarettes, I wad a one trick pony and Marlboro Menthol was my poison. The same hasn't taken hold with pipe tobacco. Even Latakia blends get the call on occasion. However, I'd be perfectly happy with just Half and Half.

    Need Some Recommendations for Quality Aromatics!

    Smoker's Pride cherry was surprisingly good. Been meaning to try their Rum blend.

    Fun Things To Do With Empty Tobacco Tins

    I like the concept of mini clocks. You can pick up the hands mechanism at a craft store and if I can do it, anyone can. Here is a candy tin clock I made for my daughter (from the movie Frozen) sitting on a clock my grandfather made.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    That's a good looking Pub Pipe. A lot of blasts look like a rabid beaver got ahold of the pipe. Yours looks ideal.

    Yes, please.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    I generally agree. In this case, "party ribs" create more exposed surface area for rub, bark, and smoke effect. As a result, the necessary cook time is reduced without negatively affecting the final product.

    Long-Term Cob Torture Test: 6 Months Under the Elements *AliExpress Edition*

    Aww shucks. There may be a kernel of truth in that statement. And I'm all ears.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    "Party ribs". Cut ribs into individual bones, rub all over, smoke 2 hours at 250, place in pan with butter and sauce, cover with foil and smoke an hour, sauce individual bones and place back on smoker to glaze the ribs (about 20 minutes). It cuts the smoke time in half with good results when...

    Need Some Recommendations for Quality Aromatics!

    Arrowhead from Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint is a kitchen sink blend of tobaccos and flavors (vanilla forward with carmel, molasses). My favorite aromatic. Phone orders only.

    Meatloaf

    Took a shot at smoking a meatloaf for sandwiches during the upcoming week. Rubbed with bbq seasoning, smoked at 275 for about two hours, the glazed with a Texas bbq sauce for about 20 minutes. I still prefer my standard with a ketchup and brown sugar glaze, but this should be tasty on white...

    8th Annual Fishnbanjo Day

    @jaytex1969 , I don't know if you knew the man in person, but your ongoing tributes to fishnbanjo speak volumes of how you thought of him and the character of both of you. Cheers and respect.

    Smoking, Grilling, and BBQ

    Smoked corn with just a little salt, pepper and oil. Then we have smokehouse burgers with a bbq rub, glazed with a Texas bbq sauce, and topped with smoked cheddar and bacon. And I made a bbq rubbed smoked meatloaf, glazed with a Texas bbq sauce, to have sandwiches for the upcoming week.

    What's Your Funniest Misunderstood Song Lyric?

    As a former line cook, we'd change lyrics all the time (like Guns N Roses "Take me down to the paradise city, lift up your shirt and show me ..."). But yes, I've misheard lyrics and with some songs that got me through rough times, I often disliked what the lyrics actually were. There is a...

    SP July 4th Sale

    Two of my bosses are cigar aficionados. One commented on liking the smell of pipe tobacco and being intrigued. So I picked up a few Savinelli starter kits and some pouches of various blends (which was cheaper than another site running a holiday sale). Christmas shopping for the bosses is done.

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    No shame in baking ribs. Last year was a rough one and I couldn't break out the grill/smoker, so baked ribs it was. And vinegar in potato salad adds a zing. We use it in our family's Armenian potato salad (with olive oil and lemon juice - no mustard or mayonnaise).

    What's Your 4th of July, 2024 Food Lineup?

    I had plans to smoke ribs, but went to the zoo instead (which really hasn't up its food game since the 90's except for adding Detroit coney dogs, which I had). Ribs got bumped to the weekend, along with smokehouse burgers and possibly a smoked meatloaf (for sandwiches during the week).
