    Shredding a Pork Butt in a Stand Mixer

    I do this for chicken - especially breasts. I would never do it with a pork butt.

    Kettle Ribs I could serve to Robert T

    I am assuming this is the fire brick and foil method I have heard people mention? How do you set up the charcoal? How long and what temp is the cook?

    Weber Summit Charcoal Grill article in Wired Magazine

    I can have my 22" Kettle, an 18" WSM, and a Spirit Series for all less than the Summit Charcoal. Why have three when you can have 1? Because that is more thinks cooking at the same time. I use two at a time quite a bit.

    Best way to keep temp around 180 for smoking fish

    This is the picture from the bacon article of their snake. I would guess for 180, you would want to go two wide.

    Steven Raichen/Project Smoke on Create Channel

    I really like the content, but his voice drives me crazy. My wife can't stand it - she makes me turn it off. Anyone else find that having a BBQ show at a fancy golf resort is strange? I feel like BBQ shows should be in someone's backyard. I tried to watch Bobby Flay's BBQ show as well...

    Pulled Chicken from boneless breasts

    I have done smoked breasts and shredded them before. I brine breasts for 2 - 4 hours and then smoke preferred way until temp. After letting rest for 10 - 15 minutes, place in KitchenAid stand mixer with beater attachment (2 at a time) and turn to medium - once broken up a bit, turn to high and...

    Smoking on the Performer

    I use the snake method and it works very well in the kettle - I can get it to hold 225 pretty well. I usually line slightly under 1/2 of the kettle with briquettes in a 2 x 2 line and start the snake with 8 lit coals. I use a drip pan under the ribs with warm water, but have never foiled part...

    Not Getting the Heat

    I use my baskets 50% of the time when grilling on direct heat. They do make cleanup and reusing fuel easier, but they do limit cooking space. If I am doing steaks for the family, I am using my Gourmet cast iron grate and they are the perfect size for heating that area. But if I have more...

    We've got WOOD to look forward to....

    I was going to start a new thread, but I did a search and found this. I saw this in Wood Magazine a couple years ago and I wanted to build it, but I didn't have a place to put it. Fast forward to this year when we put in a new patio and I had a dedicated grilling/smoking area and I decided...

    Greetings from Michigan!

    It was quite a project. I would say three weeks of off and on work. I built it based on a plan with a a few modifications. There was a lot of cross cutting, but also a ton of ripping boards to correct widths. Once I had all the boards cut and sanded, the structure of the cart went together...

    Greetings from Michigan!

    Thanks! I am pretty sure that 21.5 is too big, but 18.5 seems perfect.

    Men who can't grill?

    Whenever we have people over, many are slightly shocked when I am using my Kettle vs the Weber gas grill sitting next to it (usually using both when people are over). They ask why would I use charcoal when I could use the gas grill? It seems like a lost art for many folks. But when they try...

    Greetings from Michigan!

    Hey everyone. I have been a lurker on this board for the past few months as I have been learning more about Weber Smokey Mountain Cookers and which one I want. I have been smoking pork butts, chickens, sausages and ribs on my Weber Kettle for the past 7 or 8 years. I have gotten that snake...
