I can have my 22" Kettle, an 18" WSM, and a Spirit Series for all less than the Summit Charcoal. Why have three when you can have 1? Because that is more thinks cooking at the same time. I use two at a time quite a bit.
I really like the content, but his voice drives me crazy. My wife can't stand it - she makes me turn it off. Anyone else find that having a BBQ show at a fancy golf resort is strange? I feel like BBQ shows should be in someone's backyard.
I tried to watch Bobby Flay's BBQ show as well...
I have done smoked breasts and shredded them before. I brine breasts for 2 - 4 hours and then smoke preferred way until temp. After letting rest for 10 - 15 minutes, place in KitchenAid stand mixer with beater attachment (2 at a time) and turn to medium - once broken up a bit, turn to high and...
I use the snake method and it works very well in the kettle - I can get it to hold 225 pretty well. I usually line slightly under 1/2 of the kettle with briquettes in a 2 x 2 line and start the snake with 8 lit coals. I use a drip pan under the ribs with warm water, but have never foiled part...
I use my baskets 50% of the time when grilling on direct heat. They do make cleanup and reusing fuel easier, but they do limit cooking space. If I am doing steaks for the family, I am using my Gourmet cast iron grate and they are the perfect size for heating that area. But if I have more...
I was going to start a new thread, but I did a search and found this. I saw this in Wood Magazine a couple years ago and I wanted to build it, but I didn't have a place to put it. Fast forward to this year when we put in a new patio and I had a dedicated grilling/smoking area and I decided...
It was quite a project. I would say three weeks of off and on work. I built it based on a plan with a a few modifications. There was a lot of cross cutting, but also a ton of ripping boards to correct widths. Once I had all the boards cut and sanded, the structure of the cart went together...
Whenever we have people over, many are slightly shocked when I am using my Kettle vs the Weber gas grill sitting next to it (usually using both when people are over). They ask why would I use charcoal when I could use the gas grill? It seems like a lost art for many folks. But when they try...
Hey everyone. I have been a lurker on this board for the past few months as I have been learning more about Weber Smokey Mountain Cookers and which one I want.
I have been smoking pork butts, chickens, sausages and ribs on my Weber Kettle for the past 7 or 8 years. I have gotten that snake...
