Now I don't disagree to what youre saying Eddie, but, and I'm far from an expert smoker, isn't that "horrid smell during ignition" mostly gone once you start the smoking process? Believe me when I say, I'm not trying to be pessimistic. Truth is, I grill WAY more than I smoke, so I feel I still...

First of all, even though I'm reasonably new, I'm gonna apologize for not being as active as I should. Been a bit busy at work and have only been grilling, nothing overly exciting( I did take some pics, just never got around to posting) but I'm gonna try a bit harder to be more active. That...

I believe I mention in my Intro that I'm a butcher. ( More so a meat cutter as VERY few places actually break down whole animals anymore) This looks like an old thread that was somewhat renewed. Here's what I know about flap meat. It comes from the bottom of the sirloin. It can be very tender...

That's a beautiful piece of beef Sir!! Being an East cost boy, tri- tip is nowhere as popular as out West. But....being a butcher, I've seen interest in this cut grow, and I have limited experience ( to be honest, not great experience) cooking this cut. Now, if I read this post right, you...

That looks super tasty Frank! A smaller cut like tenderloin is gonna cook pretty quick, so getting bark on it without killing it may be tough on that cut. I'll defer to some of the more experienced members here on that insight. My gut feeling is that on larger cuts like pork butts or brisket...

That chicken looks tasty to me.....cant wait to see what other things you have planned for your new toy.

Did 2 racks of St Louis ribs on my day off today. Its my 1st smoke on my new Weber OTG . Used Applewood chips on this one. I think I'm really rusty at this stuff, as I'm just getting back into this. 2 racks, cut in half, rubbed with a store bought rub(Emerils Rib Rub) and placed in my...

I'm far from being a vegan....and as good as those ribs look, that eggplant looks insane!!!!!!

Thanks Joe....I shoulda figured out that myself....guess I'm getting lazy.....lol

Thanks Harold......the exact answer I was looking for. I have no doubt we'll be eating well tomorrow night.....hopefully I can post some pics......18 packs of Coors are on Sale locally( NOT LIGHT.....YUCK)....lol

Great post. Question though, can this replace an OEM thermometer on the new Weber OTG's? If so, is it worth the upgrade compared to "factory" Thanks in advance!!

Hey Gang Newbie here and posted my 1st cook on my brand new OTG the other day in the pic section. Have a quick question to you all.......the thermometer on the new OTG's, are they any good? This is the 1st time that I bought one that has one in the lid. As you all will come to learn, I'm...

Here's my 1st cook on my brand new Weber OTG. Boneless NY Strip Steaks Cooked to the sounds of Black Sabbath(among other hard rock bands) and the enjoyment of (at least) 3 ice cold Budwiesers on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Thanks for looking. Hoping to do a nice 5-6 hour St Louis rib smoke...

Hello ladies and gents, the name is Tony and I live in Nassau county, Long Island, NY. I'm pushing 50 yo and have been cooking on Weber kettles for over 30 yrs. I have a beautiful wife and 3 great (carnivore) boys, 15, 13 and 6. Now, in all fairness, I must admit that my livelihood is...a...
