    Lump Coal vs. The New Kingsford Competition Briquets

    I`ve been using Lump Coal for about 18 months now... it took me a while to find it and now it seems to be gaining popularity which is great. It costs a bit much for the amount you get but boy... does it make a difference to the flavor of food. Now, is it just me or does the new Kingsford...

    Went Apple Picking... (BBQ related)

    Went to New Paltz the other day with the kids and wife for apple picking. Ask the owner of the farm if he had firewood. Yes, he responds. They have apple. What else right?

    Smoked Chicken?

    Just thinking about smoking some chicken legs. Is this possible? It is worth the time? I`m thinking of marinating them in some olive oil, lemon, rosemary and garlic for about 24 hours, then smoking over apple wood. Ideas?

    The Weber WSM (Possible Redesign)

    Hey Everyone, We all love our WSMs because of the quality construction and the taste of the food. However, it seems after using it now for a good 2 months, I have had several ideas that I think would make it even better. 1. Enlarge the overall size of the unit to a 22 1/2 diameter. 2. Add...
