I too am curious about this. I just started curing my first belly Sunday with the intention of smoking it this Saturday. I used the recipe Monty House linked to earlier and it, as well as lots of other recipes, doesn't call for curing salt. Dumb question...smoke it skin side up or down? If I...

For my birthday my girlfriend took me to a local butcher to pick out some prime ribeyes to grill at home. The butcher keeps the prime in the back, so he brought out a side and cut them to order. I asked for 1.5" but they were 1.75" thick upon further inspection at home. Terrible problem to...

Thanks Jim. I too was surprised at the amount of sparking and popping while the chimney was firing up. It seems like a lot of the chunks are so small they're nearly worthless as a grilling fuel. I have a bag of Publix branded hardwood lump next in the hopper to try. I've seen Royal Oak get...

I recently decided to give lump charcoal a try for the first time on my Performer, so I picked up a bag of Tru 'Cue from HD. I poured a full chimney and first of all was amazed at the size disparity in the bag. The first pour resulted in two very large chunks which of course didn't fire up...

So excited to put this thing to use soon. I was playing with it yesterday, trying to see if the 3-second reading claim was accurate and it seems like it isn't...I would pinch the probe between my fingers and watch the gauge rise, but it took a lot longer than 3 seconds to hone in on a temp...

I had a 14 lb turkey in my Big Easy Saturday afternoon and put the thermometer that came with it in the right breast lobe just before putting the bird in the cooker. The thermometer read 165F close to the 3 hour mark, so I pulled the bird out and sat the basket on the counter to rest. I pulled...

I picked one up since we (HD) marked them down to $69 last week, and gave it a trial run last night. I wanted to try a small bird before trying a turkey this weekend and a 5 lb chicken seemed like a good first run. To keep things basic I injected about 2 oz of Tony C's creole butter in the...

Dumb question...how do you slide the top grate down beyond the top grate tabs on the straps to use as a center grate?

hope you have better luck with a flat than I did. I won't make that mistake again. and yeah...$6.98/lb sounds outrageous.

I just lift the top grate out and set it on a concrete block.

I only buy BBs from Costco and I think I sometimes get lucky and get racks that already have the membrane removed. It sounds crazy but I've removed enough membranes and sometimes there is just nothing there to get under with the butter knife except the inner membrane that you're supposed to...

Here's how I do it. http://tvwbb.com/eve/forums/a/...771071106#7771071106

I'd skip the Spirits based on the shelf-mounted control knobs and nothing else. Absolutely atrocious design decision.

The party has come and gone and we had fantastic weather. I cut the 9 racks in half and stacked them in a square on each grate and did my best to rotate them for exposure as good as I could possibly hope when dealing with so much meat in a small space. They came out pretty well and everyone...

<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Noe: Chris another option is to buy an extra top grate and flip it over the original top grate for extra space. 3 slabs on lower grate, 3 slabs on...

Home Depot does not sell the 22", we only sell the 18" in select locations.

Lots of good ideas here, others I'm scratching my head on a bit. I may leave out the racks and try coiling 4 per grate, however in the past I struggled a bit with coiling 3 on the top rack and keeping them from touching each other...you know how they want to wobble out of the coil when they're...

Thanks but unfortunately there isn't room to put the 4-slot rib rack holder and two coiled racks on the top grate. The rack holder pretty much maxes out the grate. As much as I hate the thought, I may be required to cut some racks in half and lay them on top of the racks in the holder, but...

I may have been tasked with the impossible here and I'm hoping for some advice. I told my girlfriend the most I could fit in my 18" WSM was 6 racks and she decided to invite more people this weekend, requiring 9 racks. I have a rack holder that will allow me to get 3 full racks up top, flat...

SUCCESS!! Within a half hour of getting home from the hospital after four months he said "let's go get some steaks".
