Italian margaritas? Do tell! Hopefully not replacing limes with olives.

No, it’s a typical margarita with the addition of a shot of Amaretto and sugar on the rim vs salt.

I did bacon wrapped beef tips this evening.

I need to make a Prime Rib - any good instructions?

Best I’ve made was on a rotisserie but roasting in a 325° oven at around 20min/lb to 135° (med-rare) is hard to beat. The meat is delicious so I don’t overdo it on spices. Simply salt, pepper and a little garlic powder, set it on a trivet sprayed with Pam and roast it in a cast iron skillet. For an au’jus this recipe is pretty hard to beat.

Family Christmas lunch at the in-laws today, and my assigned task was smoked chicken quarters.

Has anyone ever tried smoking cream cheese blocks? Been seeing it on the FB Pitboss page, figured I'd try it tomorrow. Thinking I'll try 1-2 with regular seasoning/rubs and maybe 1 with sweet flavor, like cinammon and sugar. Served as dip w/crackers.

I’d think you’d want it pretty darn cool outside to take on smoking cream cheese. I’ve smoked cheddar, mozzarella, jack and a few others but nothing that soft.

I thought the same thing but from what I've been reading on that page, they actually use warmer temps for it than the block cheeses. I still need to try out the smoke tubes for cold smoking.

Be sure to let us know how it goes.
