    rotisserie'ing TWO beef tenderloins at once?

    ... On a weber Summit four burner gasser? Any suggestions? Tie them together "69" fashion? Fold them both back on themselves and spit end-to-end? I can always grill them on my performer or the gasser, but wanted to toy around with the roto. Thanks in advance. Merry Christmas

    SmartPhone temp monitoring for a WSM

    Hello all! I vacation at a beach house every year and have a WSM in storage up there for big family cooks. I enjoy the whole BBQ experience of relaxing and 'watching' my cook temps up at the house, but have been tied to the smoker while the family is down on the beach enjoying MY SUNSHINE! I'm...

    OK, So I'm NOT smarter than the fire or meat!

    My last Brisket cook was a disaster! Tried to do a "hybrid-heat" (not Low and Slow NOR High Heat) on a Wagyu brisket and totally 'effed up all the times and temps. Worst BBQ cook I ever did! Well NO MORE! The fire is smarter than I am and the Meat is smarter than I am and this weekend...

    12lb New Zealand Wagyu Brisket next weekend,,, Overnighter or HH?

    I manage a country club and am lucky to have access to all kinds of suppliers. I asked my chef to get a price on a wagyu brisket, just out of curiosity. When he came back and said <$6 a pound, I told him to order one for me. So, a twelve pound NZ grass-fed wagyu packer kryovac arrived yesterday...

    Joined the Kettle World! (repost from another Kettle fan website)

    Picked up my first Weber Kettle yesterday afternoon, a Performer Deluxe, and fired up a prime Costco NY Strip for dinner as a test run. (Sorry, no pics as I'm in my sixties and don't have that techno-gene to post stuff, yet). Loaded both fuel baskets with KBB and let it ash-over for about 30...

    When did Weber stop using the 5 lb propane tank on the Performer? (reposted)

    Going to look at a CL find of a Blue Performer with a 5lb propane tank this afternoon after work. The CL pics look decent enough http://miami.craigslist.org/pbc/for/5598869786.html and it's nearby. It comes with a rotisserie kit as well for $100. Anyone know what "vintage" that may be?

    Newbie Question: How long can I,,,,

    ,,,, let a fully cooked brisket "rest" wrapped in foil, towel and in a cooler? Let's assume I started a full packer at 9:00 pm at 225 (I'm too old to stay up late and play stoker) and 12 to 15 hours later (9:00 am - Noon) the brisket is gelatin ready. I don't want to eat until 5:00 PM. Will the...

    Practicality of a 14.5 WSM

    Hi! I'm fairly new to BBQing on an 18.5 WSM and really enjoy the dozen or so cooks I've done. Here's the reason for my question; every year,I spend two weeks renting a house on the NC beach. I've always rented a gasser from a local company but they do not rent smokers. I'd really like to bring...

    My FIRST cook on WSM 18.5" - High Heat Pork Butt

    This was posted in the Newbie section, but thought it might be more appropriate here: Decided to go with two decent sized bone-in pork butts for my first cook. But, since I only have one day off a week (very often NO DAYS), I decided to go High-Heat so I could wrap it up in 6 or 7 hours and not...

    New 18.5 WSM owner in SoFla

    Just set up my new 18.5" smoker on the patio. It's too late today to begin a cook, so that'll have to wait for next week. I manage a country club and we just bought a 22" & 18.5" WSM for a BBQ "Action Station" for a casual night. The chef's took overnight shifts as they smoked 7 briskets and 4...

    Hello from SoFla!

    I found this site as I was looking for grilling ideas while I'm waiting for delivery of my first Weber, a e-470. Was ORIGINALLY supposed to be delivered yesterday, but got the call that it'll have to be early this week. :( Oh well, just wanted to say Hello.
