I sure hope this political acidity has not spoiled your appetite for burned meat.

2016 was Poor at best for this forum. Make Grilling and Recipes Great Again in 2017...

Mack, I try to never let politics ruin any part of my life. It's just not worth the trouble to worry over something that will change in a couple of years anyway. 2016 was slow for this forum. Since I joined this section, Jokes, and the Boat Maintenance sections are all I ever read. Those guys in Off-Topic get a little intense for me.

2016 was a little better year for me as far as volume smoked. If I counted correctly I burned 876 pounds of meat, and 10-12 pounds of cheese. I didn't smoke any fish, or sides. Those were cooked conventionally. Based on normal yeild for the mix, there were over 1500 servings. Hopefully it made most of those folks happy.

This year I would like to perfect more Cajun or low country type meals, jambalya, etoufee, anything with shrimp, fish and other seafood. If anyone has good recipes for those I would appreciate seeing them.

May 2017 see the renewal of the Grilling & Recipes Forum!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tall Cotton.....I've followed your posts for a good while and have often wondered what type of smoker you current use. For years (15), I used a smoker I bought from Home Depot. I've about worn that smoker out and I gave myself a new smoker for Christmas. It's a 150 gal tank on a trailer. It took a little while to get use to it, but we're starting to get along real well now.

Maddog,

I use Masterbuilt 40" electrics with a cold smoker attachment. Some may not call electrics "real" smokers, and they are not legal for most competitions, but I've had no complaints from the food they produce. Currently I have 2 set up and working, and one I got on sale before Christmas still in the box. Mack helped me with some issues I had early on, but for the past few yearsI have had no problems.

Tall Cotton Tuesday is the perfect chance to go coon ass. I will for sure. Either shrimp ettoufe or jambalaya. I want to make boudan sometime.
