Good morning to tLodge!
Good morning to tLodge!
This was my first time, I just got the smoker last week. It was a good decision.
Then you cooked up too much onion. Duh.![]()
I have already decided that I'm going to only get my meat for smoking at Von Hanson's or somewhere higher quality (local butcher), and not at a grocery store. I need some decent quality if I'm going to spend hours smoking a hunk of meat. I got the brisket at Von Hanson's and it was a good choice. They brought out several for me to chose from, gave me some advice, and really knew what they were talking about, and it turned out great.Good Morning Lodge.
Actually I think I didn't smoke the onions enough. Or I should have tried to find sweeter onions. These were good, but a little sharp. Last time I used vadellia onions and they were awesome. I also did not like the cut of the ribs. What I get for using Cub ribs. They tasted good but lots of bone, not much meat.
gmann, you should try smoking. You can smoke on a grill too if you can control the heat well enough.
Spent yesterday in Duluth...I miss living there. It's so great.
They had that much trouble finding people for the Leinie's Lodge this year?Hey MN people, anyone want to put together a day to check out the fair? I, unfortunately, cannot make it there the first weekend (Sunday is a maybe) due to my future BIL's bachelor party that Saturday. Wife and I are hoping to check it out together on a weeknight evening. Does anyone want to go on maybe Sunday of Labor Day weekend? The Mrs. is going to be working at the fair that day, so I can bum around the grounds all day.
edit: here's your slice of comedy for the day: Scott Stapp is playing the Leinie's Lodge Bandshell.

I'd be so in for that Sunday. Didn't we go on the same Sunday last year? Given the time we got there last year, it worked out perfect to check out all the stuff (and eat all the food) we wanted to.Hey MN people, anyone want to put together a day to check out the fair?

The Moody Blues were supposed to be at the Lodge last year, but had to cancel with their drummer dying and all.
Lucky people at the fair.....didn't haven't to hear any of that crap.
I just looked at the schedule, Buckwheat Zydeco at the Bandshell on the 29th & 30th.....can't wait!!
Last year we saw some twanger that had happened to have a HUGE hit single on the radio. The Fair had booked him before he got big. So, instead of it being a ticketed show (which the Fair could have easily done, had they booked him later), it was a 10am free show at the Leinie's Lodge.
