TO add to some of Chris's cornbread recipes he posted in the newsletter this month, some of the best cornbread I have tasted is at the House Of Blues beleive it or not. It is a savory cornbread with just the right amount of sweet. They also have pretty darn good ribs too if you get in there...

Put a 5 lb brisket on the smoker this morning and other than the occassional adjustment to the vents the WSM is purring along at 275 F grate temperature. It took maybe a 1/2 hour to set it up and get it going with the Weber Charcoal Chimney and in a matter of minutes when the brisket was...

As some of my outlaws...errr...I mean in-laws do not like smoked flavor of meat, I posted here for some ideas on not using wood in the WSM and to use it as a charcoal fired roaster. I purchased a 15 lb already brined bird (Butterball like) and filled the cavity with celery, onion and an herbal...

Hey another posting gave me pause to think regarding charcoal quantity usage... In that post one of our WSM'rs mentioned he only used one row of briquettes with 20 lit briquettes on top for ribs and chicken. Any rules of thumb in amounts and usage and rough expected temperatures? In my...

Hey, I actually have a few relatives coming to Thanksgiving that do not like the taste of smoked meat (I know...I know). How about a few chunks of lump throw on the Kingsford in the WSM and no wood and just simply roast the turkey? Was thinking about no water in the bowl (it will be foiled)...

Been looking online to see if I can snag a deal on one of the wireless thermometers. I found a pretty good deal based on price on iGadget.com. Now the question is whether this place is reputable enough to trust my business. Could only find like 3 reviews on the web and they were not good in...

Hi All, Been lurkin' and postin' on this site for quite some time and Mrs. D says to order a WSM! Such a lovely girl Mrs. D is...I am a lucky man! Had pretty good luck over the past 2 years with my Brinkmann Electric smoker but am looking forward to kicking it up a notch with the enhanced...

Got a brisket from a health food store in Orlando FL called "Whole Foods". I have had trouble obtaining briskets here locally. This organically grown beef is the most tender tasting I ever had and it was even frozen! It was the best! I smoked it for about 5 hours and then foiled it for another...
