Masterbuilt 30″ Propane Smoker Notes

Filed under: Food and Drink,Links — Tags: , — Landis V @ 2:24 pm

Recently bought a Masterbuilt propane smoker from Cabelas.  Had kicked the idea around for a while, and the price was the lowest I’d seen by 25%, so went ahead with the purchase.  Got it assembled the other day and ready for a burn-in run, started this post to keep track of any notes I come across on it.

It was noteworthy that I had to make some minor modifications to complete the assembly.  It looks like they sent me two front legs for the same side, so one was missing one of the semi-necessary holes to mount the control panel.  Probably could have gotten by without it, but I just drilled a hole and added the fourth nut and screw.

    • Page with some suggestions for improving seal, temperature control, chip and water pans.  Suggests chunks instead of chips.  Also several suggestions for alternate smoke sources.

The Hopping Pig

Filed under: Food and Drink,Travel — Tags: — Landis V @ 8:34 pm

While visiting San Diego for Cisco Live, I had the opportunity to visit The Hopping Pig Gastropub on 5th Ave.  I can recommend the Pig Burger, and I sampled some tasy local stouts, pictured below the menu.  As you can see, they do have quite a selection.  I really wanted to try a Monkey in the Sun, but never got around to it with all the local microbrews.

First up for the evening was the Ale Smith Speedway Stout, pictured below, for $6.50.

Second up was the Ballast Point Sea Monster Imperial Stout for $6.50.

Finally for this evening, the Ballast Point Piper Down Scottish for $6.00.

All three of these were very good, and I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase them again.

Filipino barbecue recipe

Filed under: Cooking — Tags: — Landis V @ 10:13 am

Ran across this and it looked good. Did a little looking for banana catsup, looks like it takes a little time, so it’s something I’ll have to plan for in the future, but I did learn a fair bit about ketchup, its properties, and its history as I was looking into making banana ketchup. The thin sliced pork makes me think of bacon.

I liked the looks of this recipe for banana catsup. http://mothernaturesays.blogspot.com/2010/10/bananas-hot-and-spicy-banana-catsup.html
