I live in California. We don't have snow or many days below freezing. My Genesis sits outside all winter (usually ) covered and is just fine. Now I want to buy a gas grill for our cabin in Lake Tahoe. We get a lot of snow and it gets very cold. We likely would not grill much during winter so it...

First smoke of the summer which is only my WSM's second summer so I am trying to remember all I learned last year. Starting with three racks of St. Louis ribs and not inviting anyone over in case I screw it up. :) Loaded up the smoker, put on the ribs, and put the Maverick probe in its clip on...

Last year I bought half a pig from a local farmer. I have used almost all of it, but have the "fancy stuff" leftover, which includes three separate 3-4lb bone in rib roasts. I have never smoked this cut before and I am somewhat of a novice smoker. I'm going to have the inlaws over for...

Howdy, It's been awhile since I've been here. Was hoping to do lots of smoking this summer but with the kids being home all day, it's just not working out. Today I m going to do my first brisket and I'm sure I ill need some help long the way. I bought a 10lb brisket and trimmed the fat. I...

Y'all were so helpful with my real time pork butt a couple of weeks ago. Will be doing St Louis style ribs on Friday and am hoping someone will tune in to offer advice if I need it. Can't wait! Any tips beforehand?

Hi! Thanks to all he videos and threads, I got everything going this morning without issues. Only burned myself once...so far. :) It is a beautiful Northern California spring morning for the inaugural smoking! Two 5-6 pound bone in butts are on and temp is holding steady at about 260 after...

My first WSM should be here on Thursday and I'm so excited. I've been reading everything i Can find and watching videos and am ready to smoke. But this water vs clay saucer has me stumped. Can someone explain, in simple newbie terms, why I would want to use this saucer method? I'm sure there...

Hi, My name is Alyssa and I'm your typical suburban soccer/hockey mom from San Ramon, CA, except for the fact that I'm obsessed with making cocktails and bbq. I was mostly raised in the south which would explain the California girl BBQing. :) I finally decided to kick it up a notch, work a...
