    Vacuum sealers

    I finally tried out my Foodsaver V4800 that I got as a Christmas gift. It seems to be a very nice unit. The included accessories and bags sounds very similar to what was described above, except it also came with a small deli container... I know it came from Costco but I'm unsure of the...

    Overnight Brisket Cook

    I have done probably 10 overnight cooks in my 22.5 WSM and have not found a need for water in the pan or an ATC. I simply use the temp alarm feature on my Maverick 732 and once I'm convinced the temp has settled in where I want it I go to bed. If the vents need to be adjusted or the fuel...

    Largest Charcoal Chimney Anyone?

    http://www.bbqguys.com/item_name_Outset-Collapsible-Chimney-Starter_path__item_2876856.html or http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0007ZGUTI/tvwb-20 These both claim to have a 7 pound capacity. I'm confused though, what are you trying to achieve by lighting that much charcoal at once...

    Thermapen Open box Sale

    I have been trying to convince myself to order one of these for a while now so this offer was the last straw. I went ahead and ordered a blue backlit model. I think I got lucky because I had the shopping cart tab open all weekend and placed the order on Monday. After I placed the order I went...

    Today's PSB for the SB party

    Great looking pics Dave! I did the same cook Saturday evening to reheat for the game Sunday. My brother and I were doing some boozing Saturday so I didn't take any pics, but mine looked nearly identical to yours and tasted terrific! The only difference was my cooker was surrounded by snow and...

    What are you smoking for the Superbowl 2014?

    As long as the weather cooperates I'm planning my first attempt at PSB. I'm stoked to say the least! Unfortunately, I'm more excited about the food than the game as my beloved Bears couldn't be bothered to get into the playoffs... I have to root for Manning even though his last superbowl ring...

    Let's talk smoking on a Weber Gasser!

    I have used a smoker box in my "Jenn Air" (sorry guys) gasser for a few years now. I don't feel it provides enough smoke for long low n slow cooks but I think it adds a nice hint of smoke to quicker cooking foods like wings and brats that I do indirect for most of the cook then kick up the heat...

    New addition to my Weber family.

    Thanks for the informative post Chad! The model and serial # was worn off the old genesis at my families cottage so I now know its a 2000 ng. I replaced the flavor bars last year, but that's as far as my restoration got. I'm currently in talks with rcplanebuyer on ebay to purchase new shelf...

    Pepper Stout Beef

    I picked up a few chuck roasts value packs today on a "one day meat stock up sale" for $2.99/#. I'm hoping the weather improves for super bowl weekend so I can attempt my first PSB cook. I've been drooling over this post since I joined, I cant believe I haven't made it yet.

    Mini-WSM on Fire!

    Looks real nice. That's a cool method of hanging the diffuser. I hope your clay saucer lasts longer than mine did. Mine cracked in half after only my second cook which happened to be high heat for chicken... I've just been using a metal cake pan since then.

    Throwing my hat in the bacon ring

    Lookin good! I'm sure you'll be thrilled with the results! That is also a phenomenal price you got on that belly! The belly I bought this summer cost something like $3.65/# which is good, my only complaint was, it was skin on... Thats the only round of bacon I've done so far, but it turned...

    I Want to Watch the Food Cook

    That is a very interesting idea. I can't say it hasn't been done, but I have certainly never seen it. Based on how the inside of my smokers look, I don't think you're going to be able to see in there for long... don't let that discourage you though! You intrigued me, I just looked at my...

    How Do You Stuff Your ABTs?

    I've tried a few different things as well and seem to have the most luck with a simple butter knife. I just put a dollop on the end and smear it in as deep as possible and use the edge of the pepper to clean the knife completely. Depending on the size of the pepper I can usually fill them with...

    A Maze N Pellet Smoker

    Just to be clear, that is three separate items for a total of $97.53 As to the OP, I have been checking out the A-maze-n smoker lately after seeing a couple cold smoke threads mention it but I haven't bought one just yet...

    Our rice recipe

    Thanks for sharing! I'm sure it will become one of our staple sides.

    Tomorrow!! First WSM smoke! 2 half hams, & my thinking on this..

    Wow those really do look great! I haven't tried a ham yet but by the looks of yours I'm gonna have to give it a go. I'm drooling over here :D

    CHEESE...Has anyone smoked any?

    I have also found myself interested in smoking some cheese lately. It seems with those suggested posts we are pretty well covered to give it a whirl. Very cool methods there. I was considering the A-Maze-N pellet smoker to add to the WSM for cold smokes like this but it doesn't seem necessary...

    Potluck pulled pork

    Looks great! Just an FYI, I have hung my maverick like that on my 22.5 WSM many times without any issues with the heat. The trouble I would have is I knocked it off a few times while setting the lid down. I have since started using a 5 gallon bucket as a little table for it. At some point I...

    Mavrick 732 return?

    I was just commenting the other day how impressed I am with the battery efficiency of my 732. This was my first year with the WSM and used the maverick for every cook. I did 6 butt cooks that I can think of, along with countless babyback and chicken cooks all on the same set of no name...

    Reviving some old (and new) cast iron

    While I was waiting for my flap discs to arrive, I tried the random orbit sander. It definitely helped smooth out the rough surface but the grit wore off the paper verrrry quickly and the "bobby flay" cheap china crap pans were so rough I went with the more aggressive grinder approach. Even...
