I add some drippings, unless I've got beans under there sucking up all the drippings, and some beer. The beer came about because I didn't have enough drippings once, was out of apple juice and, well, I had a beer in my hand. Since that is always true while smoking, it has become routine. I...

Looks fantastic. I've got some in the freezer, so this is on the to-do list.

I recommend Stubb's Mopping Sauce and Weber's Kickin' Chicken rub for a fantastic BBQ chicken combo.

I think that's about right. They have small, thin reeds of wood in them too, so a little more than just sawdust, but essentially you're right.

Anybody use these new (or at least new to me) smokehouse wood briquests from Kingsford instead of wood chunks ? Such as these: http://www.kingsford.com/products/details/kingsford-smokehouse-style-with-hickory/ I bought these in a pinch since I was on the clock in getting Mother's Day dinner...

That will be Plan B. Of course, the dish is a nice, heart-shaped dish that is discontinued. How funny is that? It really was the perfect size though :)

Indeed! Wish I'd thought of that. I will keep that in mind.

Good idea. Thanks.

I wonder if anyone can help. I put a crock (Henn crockery that is oven safe) into a tin pan and had in on the bottom rack with baked beans catching rib drippings for five hours. Beans were fantastic. Unfortunately, the crock now has a nice smoke stain all over it. I had not foreseen that...

Any cook that needs a step ladder is going to be awesome. Good luck!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I'm heading to mom's tomorrow so not cooking but have a 17 pound bird in the fridge (the free supermarket kind with some kind of 6% injection) that I plan to cook later this week as a dry run for Christmas dinner. Without the typical army to eat it, I'm going to...

You could slice them but I don't think you'd want to bring them all the way up to 210 IT. I've seen some posts where guys slice them at 140 or so. I've not done it though. If I did this cook again, I think I'd back off the Montreal a bit to lessen the saltiness, but just a bit. Maybe add...

Nice bumper sticker!

That is some sweet pullback. Nice job!

Hi Bill. I had 70 people at the party, but around half of that were little kids who didn't eat too much - but there were a couple tweener boys in there with appetites. I had about one rack leftover. Thanks for the kind words.
