Hi I've been trying to cold smoke in my 18.5 WSM using an 6x6 a-maze-n smokegenerator. I'm not happy with the amount of smoke, and suspect that it might be the damper setup. The smoker was on the charcoal grate, all bottom dampers were open, and lid damper was open or half-closed. Is there...

Hi Did a quick and easy BBQ today after we came back from a walk in the woods. Put the pork chops in a apple and ginger marinade from one of the baron of barbecue's books before we left. Chops on the coal Finishing of on indirect for about 10 min Served them with a creamy potato and apple...

Hi Did a quick grilled dinner today after a nice family trip around a lake Used an old recipe but made some changes. It is a 50/50 mix of minced pork an beef (about 28 oz), one egg, one red bell pepper, garlic, one onion, flavored with paprika powder, hot sauce, and S&P. I've normally put the...

Did my second cook on my WSM this weekend, decided to go for a butt and do pulled pork. A few learnings and questions in the text Went to my butcher and got a 3 kg (6.6 pounds) butt. It was a quiet moment in the store so I used the chance to check out other possible meat cuts for smoking...

High, was home alone this weekend, and after many good suggestion ref http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?51053-What-does-a-man-cook-for-himself I ended up with doing a Tony inspired cook, with carne asada. Those of you with a good eye for meat cuts will notice that it isn't a standard peace of meat...

Hi Home alone doing a bit of DIY while wife and kids are away. Decided that I needed a lunch which would keep me going for a while, so what better than a peanut butter and banana sandwich? Here's a few pictures Used the performer and filled the charcoal baskets with charcoal. The weber CI...

So, wife and kids are going away next weekend, while I'm back home to renovate my daughter's room. It is a fairly large job so there isn't a lot of time for cooking, but I think I should use the opportunity to do things on the weber I don't normally do (which in this context probably would have...

As mentioned in my post "The weber tour truck came with a WSM for me", I did a spatchcocked and brined chicken on my first cook. A few mishaps during the cook and a few learnings/questions at the end, but a good chicken Not a family yet, but at least a couple Point of no return for the shiny...

Hi Tried some low'n'slow on my performer last year using the snake method, it sparked further interest and I've been looking for a reasonable prised WSM. Prices over here a a bit different than in the states and the recommended retail price for a 18.5 is about 600 USD. So when I accidentally...

Did a late kick-off of this season. Friday cooking after work with hungry family ment that I started simple. Brined pork-chops before I went to work this morning. Used an orangejuice based brine with garlic, onion, white wine vinegar, soy sauce, and plenty of fresh herbs. It worked very well...

Some of you may know the Scottish fish&chip shop dessert deep fried mars bar, which is a mars chocolate bars dipped I'm batter and deep fried. I used the rest of a beer-based batter that I had used for fish (but changed the oil). Batter recipe: 400g plain flour, which have been frozen in the...

The forecast for Saturday was really bad, it was essentially an early reminder of what is due to come But when I woke up I saw that the sky was blue and the sun was on its way up (We have a baby that likes to wake up really early) The plans for a kitchen made meal was scrapped, and we agreed...

Hi I'm off to a cabin with some friends for a weekend of eating, drinking, fishing etc. I know that there is a charcoal grill at the cabin, possibly with a lid, but it will be very basic. I have staged a (peaceful) food coup, and have sieged responsibility for the provisions. Menu is off course...

Made a tasty new duck recipe on the grill fest I day, and figured that this was a good occasion to make the first post. It was part of a three-course dinner for the wife together with local fresh shrimps with avocado cream on thin butter fried toast as a starter and fresh local raspberries with...

Hi guys I must start by saying that I’m very impressed by the forum, both the amount of to the point information and the enthusiasm you display. When I discovered the impressive family photo section, I realised that any concern of being too occupied by BBQ was utterly meaningless, and that I...
