Cooked up some chicken and ribs for 4th of July. Kansas sweet BBQ run from Aldi and added some Nashville spicy rub which was a lot hotter than I expected. Ribs went through the 3-2-1 method at 250F. Chicken was at 275F for 2.5 hours, then seared with BBQ sauce. Used Burman Texas BBQ sauce from...

I'm going to do my first pork shoulder and im targeting around noon until 5 or 6pm. I managed to pick up 6lbs of it but it's been sliced into 2 inch slabs. Given its not one whole, what is the best way to smoke this? Temperature-wise and meat arrangement. Upright or flat on the grate...

Last week I managed to pick up an 18.5 WSM for a great price and I'm looking forward to doing my first cook on it. If only I can find the time to! Speaking of time, I have two curious questions: 1. How do you guys make the most out of your 5-6 hour cooks? Do you set it, go out and run...

If there is anyone in San Diego (CA) who would like to buy my new and unopened original kettle premium grill, in green, please let me know. I found some good deals after ordering this, and with no room left in the house, this must go. I can't return it without having to pay an absorbent amount...

Our local Vine Ripe supermarket had a sale on Rib Eyes for $3.99/lb so I had to pick up a few stabs. I marinated overnight in mustard, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Pulled it out tonight and grilled it with all the mustard still on it. I doused it with Worcestershire sauce while...

GF was out of town this week and I had some studying to do, and this could only mean one thing. BBQ TIME!!!!!!! Headed down to our local bay, Shelter Island. Drove down there and luckily they had charcoal pits. Also, this was a good opportunity for me to give the Cowboy charcoal a try. There...

This is Jumbo Joe's first year in the market, why is it going on clearance so soon? Are they discontinuing it? I wish they would release a Jumbo Joe One Touch Gold :)

I picked up two of the brinkman's rib rack at home depot for the mini wsm. Fits perfectly! Bought a pack of Brisket bones from Walmart a few days ago for $1.38/lb. Never had it before and it was fairly cheap, so I thought I'd give it a try. Also had a few more packs of chicken from the...

Northgate (Gonzales Market) has chicken drumsticks on sale for 79 cents a lb until 9/10, so get em while they're still cheap! Ah what the hell. I'll take 5 packs, thanks! The weather was very nice today. Warm-to-hot but with a very cool breeze throughout the day. The forecast is 104 next...

I don't have the smokey joe silver, but I was wondering about the tuna can that's used as the ash buffer. Have you guys ever thought about doing a secondary can (with both sides cut open) placed over the charcoal grate to allow even more airflow?

Another HOT day so I opted for a hands-free experience--one where I could throw my food on the cooker and retreat into the air conditioned home. Ended up pulling out the Mini WSM to smoke some chicken and corn. I didn't get to take too many photos, but the jist of it is regular o' Kingsford...

I couldn't find a section for care and maintenance, so here it lies: I had a potential revelation when cleaning my grill last week. I used the hell out of my Jumbo Joe for the last 4 months and just last week I decided to bring it to the self car wash station. I thought the power washer would...

It was about 100 degrees here in San Diego (La Mesa area). Headed over to sister's pad to cool off in the pool and grill some burgers. VONS had a sale on 80/20 ground beef (meh!), but Kourtney prepared them nicely, worcestershire sauce, onion powder, sea salt and pepper. Smoked with indirect...

Thanks to Bill Schultz for tipping me off on dry aging. I thought I'd give it a try. Granted, I only did it for two days, but boy was there a huge difference! I don't think I can ever have steak any other way again. Started trimming the fat and crusted area.. 4 lb slab. Lots of fat at the...

Smoked chicken + A1 Cracked Peppercorn with grounded ancho chili and thyme Our local supermarket (Albertsons) is having a sale on chicken for $0.88/lb. Bought two packs. Brined the chicken overnight in kosher salt, sugar,cider vinegar and water. Patted dry, and applied A1 Cracked Peppercorn...

Has anyone ever eaten at Ruth Chris? Their steaks are DELICIOUS! I was wondering if this type of grilling can be reproduced using charcoal or the weber pizza kettle given it's high heat capability. Thoughts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyHisZZVEMY...

School is about to begin in August, so the girlfriend and I decided to make it a day at La Jolla Shores. We picked up some Rib Eye from a local supermarket called Vine Ripe. Their meat seems to be more fresh and a better quality than the chain supermarket variety. I'm also able to buy their...

I was browsing through http://www.USTREAM.com and I thought to myself, "Why not broadcast the grilling session?" and "Why not broadcast the preparation session?" Anyone want to give it a try? Next time I set up to grill, I'll be sure to broadcast and post the live link here (if its okay with...

I'm sharing my no-longer-secret rice vinaigrette dressing and marinade: I've had this recipe for over 5 years and have been a jerk about giving it out, but I've learned so much on this forum that it would be unfair for me to keep this a secret any longer. The best way I can compare this salad...

This is my first TVWBB gallery post and I hadn't plan to do it until after the fact. Hope the photos are satisfactory. My girlfriend is feeling under the weather so we didn't go out for dinner this evening. Instead, I picked up some London Broil on sale and made some kabobs. I didn't have...
