That is some interesting food! I agree with Wiz.....that pizza looks pretty good to me.

I made some deep fried buttermilk chicken tenders tonight. It went against everything I have been trying to do to keep the weight off........But I deserved it! They were sooooooo good. Soaked them in buttermilk over night and just dredged them in seasoned flour. It was the best fried chicken of any kind I had ever made!

Sorry..........Forgot the pics(Again)

Wiz!

What? No pics. Just kidding Wiz.

PT..........You eat better than anyone I know! Most of those plates would be worthy of an "Iron Chef". The Pizza looked great from an appearence standpoint. How was the taste? The crust looked as good as any I have ever seen. I don't like beer often,but i sure would have tried that one!

Thanks so much for sharing your dining experiences!

The Pizza was good great crust but I like my toppings browned a little, seemed like the cheese was melted but not bubbly!

[Fudgey]

The cheese has to be bubbly!!

Wiz, This question goes out to you.

I'm looking to get a smoker.

I want to start experimenting with some Goa/Portuguese Smoked Chorizo sausages..in addition to the regular briskets, chicken, ribs etc. Ideally I'd like to setup a small rig on the back patio but want to limit myself to either Propane or Electricity for now so that I have better control over the temperatures.

Any particular preferences or things I should be aware of?

Dusty..........There are quite a few electric smokers on the market. You would have to check reviews to see which one my be best. I'm really not sure if there are any propane smokers,other than those that have a small propane tank attached to light the wood box. I have an Orion cooker which is basicly a convection cooker that uses small amounts of woodchips to give a mild smoke flavor to meats while they are cooking. It is a nice product for chicken,ribs ect,and cooks them quite well and fast. I'm afraid Chorizo would not fare well at such high temps. A slow low temp smoke/cook would best for that.

Good luck..........and happy eats!

That looks like a Nesco to me PT! That's what I have as well. Is that a drip tray on the bottom?
