Maybe I'm just a bad searcher, but I have not found a thread about this charcoal. Has anyone used it and if so what did you like or dislike about it? It kind of looks like Royal Oak Super Size Briquets. Price is $18 for 2-20 lb bags. Royal oak Super Size

I'm building a smoker out of a bunch of old slightly damaged Kettle parts. I'm using a rotisserie ring to hold a second cooking rack. I have a Billows fan that will be installed using a stainless bowl mounted over a 1" hole drilled in the bottom, also drilled a 1 1/4 hole above the cooking grate...

I've got a goat shoulder to smoke, anyone have any experience with goat? Temps, type of rub, etc.? This is a new one for me and it looks pretty lean and I don't want to end up with goat jerky.

I've haven't logged in here for a long time, but I bought a new Weber Performer today for $150 and I'm curious how to hear from others who have this grill about how it has held up. I know I got a super deal, I'm mainly wondering in the long term how the gas lighter and plastic table have worked...

Konrad, Thanks to your web site I was a big hit at our annual Christmas potluck at work. I made a double batch of ABT's (end result 64 turds)using the recipe from your web site. I used my WSM and my Homer Simpson. The only problem I had was with the cook times. At 300*F it took almost 1 1/2...

I just bought a Kitchen Aid stand mixer and in the box was a subscription card for Cook's Illustrated. I've noticed references to this magazine here in the past, is it worth the $20 a year subscription price? If I get it, what kind of articles and recipes can I expect? Thanks in advance. Don

I recently was able to acquire a fair quanity of English Walnut wood. I've found with some woods (hickory and mesquite in particular) a little bit goes a long way and to my taste can make the meat bitter tasting if too much is used. I usually use fruit woods or alder and am wondering what kind...

My wife is from the Philippines and we travel there about once a year. Next time we go I'm taking a Weber kettle with me as pork, chicken and fish are available in abundance, and lump charcoal is available everywhere, but I have no idea of what kind of wood to use for smoking. None of the...

I have been browsing the various shopping sites for the WSM and I see WalMart.com has them for $158.97 and they say they can ship in 1 to 2 days. Seems like a pretty good price, but I didn't check their shipping costs. So if you are in the market for a new WSM you might want to check their site. Don

I've only smoked one turkey on the WSM,but I've done many on my Little Chief electric smoker. On the electric smoker I always have the store cut the turkey in half from stem to stern as the temps are fairly low and I don't want salmonella and the smoke seems to penetrate the meat more. My...

I bought a rack of pork at my local warehouse store yesterday. I think any of the normal rubs for pork will work. Any ideas on this? It's not as thick as most butts, so I'm thinking about 6 hours at about 230*. Does that sound about right? This thing weighs about 6 lbs. Thanks in advance. Don

I was at the local Costco on Sunday and the baby backs were priced at $2.99/lb. This is $1 less than they were all summer long, so I stocked up. These are cryopacs and should be okay for quite a while in the freezer. I also tried to get some chicken wings but was told that they only carry them...

This morning as I was firing up my WSM I used my Smokey Joe to hold the chimney. I set the lid aside unaware of the revelation I was about to have. As the charcoal was ashing over I disassembled the WSM and placed the water pan next to the Smokey Joe lid. I put the WSM back together after adding...

I'm looking for an easy way to organize all of the various recipes I have found on this site and others. Does anyone have any recomendations for an easy to use cookbook program. I'm looking for something that I can import recipes into and make modifications and notes about each recipe used. I...

I would like to add several useful bbq books to my cookbook collection. Any recomendations on some "can't live without" titles. At present I only have one bbq book, "Barbecue America". It's ok, but really seems to be more of a coffee table book than a useful reference. Thanks, Don

Apparently many of the sources for the WSM have dried up, but truevalue.com says they have them and can ship within 24 hrs. The price is $179, but by using the promo code true15 you can get 15% off. This puts the price right about $152 plus shipping. Good Luck, Don

Has anyone used the the BRITU recipe on butt roasts? I've really like the flavor of the rub on baby backs, but I'm not sure how it will come out on a roast. Seems like it should be OK, but if anyone has tried it let me know how they it came out. I tried the mustard slathered roast and it was Ok...

Last weekend I did ribs on my new WSM. I had about 8 lbs. of ribs and I used both the upper and lower racks. They were great except it seemed to me that that ribs on the lower rack were moister and more tender. I assume this is partially due to the upper rack self basting the lower rack and the...

Just got my WSM. Had to drive 75 miles to get it and got stuck in the worst traffic ever getting back. Today I cooked the BRITU and it was worth all of the hassles to get it. For the first try they were fantastic. I can only dream of what will come out of my WSM when I really know what I'm...
