CD will be sharing culinary tricks and secrets known by only a very select group of master chefs around the world.

Feel free to drop a recipe to be reviewed by one of the boards top Gastronomical critics in the modern age.
 
Since CD is about to enter the thread I'll start off with a question everyone has wondered at some time in their life.

What is the ideal wetness for drinking water, Chef bearde?

Literally the only thing I know how to make is to brown mild sausage in a skillet, cut up a block of regular Velveeta and a block of queso Velveeta, put it in a crock pot, add a can of rotel. It's a really easy dip to make but its so good.
My wife makes something similar, this year I took the sausage and smoked it before she made it, and it went over great. I just wish @della understood the real meaning of smoking. But we all love her, no matter how smart she pretends to be. 🤣

I think you need to scoot your ass from behind the keyboard and let your wife type. Mrs CD, what ingredients do you use in making your award winning cornbread?

sparkling young lady. wake up please,
Milk can be more hydrating
than water because it contains lactose, protein, and fat, which slow down how fast fluid is emptied from the stomach.
Now kiss it young lady!!!!!🤣🤣

That is not an answer.

Do you want to know about smoking, I can tell you every secret I have, including smoking cheese as long as you don't share it.

I have Pit Boss, also use a smoke tube.
Cheese is done during late fall and through winter with the smoke tube, cheese melts at 90, softer cheeses such as Monterey can start melting around 80. I use the smoke tube and do not turn the smoker on, this will give the cheese 4-5 hours of smoke if it's cool outside. And of course I use a temp. probe for all smoking.
Now for meat, I feel cold meat loves smoke, so I take the meat and put it in the smoker, but do not turn the smoker on, instead I use the smoke tube for 4-5 hours with no heat, then take the meat out, wrap in aluminum foil, then place it in the refrigerator until the next day when I fire the smoker up and do my regular smoke.
Smoke tubes are cheap, I am going to try to post a url for one below.

What types of meats do you like to cook on your smoker? Pellet or stick?

Boston Butt, Ham, and Bologna is the major, but I will do ribs, seafood and beef jerky. My smokers are pellet, both Pit Boss, my main smoker is the Pit Boss upright pro series, that one is just for smoking. Then I have the Pit Boss pellet grill. If I do steaks it's always done on the Webber charcoal, I do use chunks of Cherry or Apple in it. I use Hickory for pork, Apple or Cherry for beef, chicken, or seafood. Bologna is up to the people that I am smoking it for, it's up to them how strong of a smoke taste they care for.
