I heard on the radio a few days ago that a Kingsford Charcoal plant was burning out of control. This was in Kentucky, I believe. However I have heard or read nothing about it since. Does any one have any further information? Billy Gardner

Hello Friends, I have a question with regard to burning lump. Everything that I have read says lump burns hotter and faster than briquets. This morning as I prepared to smoke 3 sides of spareribs (3.5 down) the fire ring was loaded with approximately 8 lbs. of lump and 4 small hickory chunks...

Hello Friends, After months of searching I found a local source for lump charcoal. We have a local supermarket chain called Mac's Fresh Market. I went there this morning to buy Butts and spareribs and found out that they had stacks of Ozark Oak genuine charcoal. It was only $3.49 per 10# bag...

Hello Everybody, Even though I haven't had anything to post for a while I read the board every day. I made a pork butt a couple of weeks ago that everyone said was the best ever. I started using French's Sweet Onion Mustard to hold the rub on. It seems to give a slightly unique flavor that is...

Hello Everyone, Sorry for not posting lately. Unfortunately I've been a little under the weather. Had a small surgery last week but I am recovering nicely. In fact I felt so good this morning that I started three racks of BRITU spares on the old WSM. When I peeked about an hour ago they were...

Hello Everybody, Sounds like there's been a lot of smokin' going on. Unfortunately this has been my weekend to work nights so no cooking for me. Plus it's been raining here for the past week almost. I'm not complaining because it was really needed. Maybe I can get the old WSM fired up again...

To The Board, Has anyone on here ever tried Everflame Charcoal Logs from Wal-Mart? I just bought 2 20 lb. bags for $5.00 each. When I got home and read about it,discovered it's manufactured in China exclusively for Wal-Mart. It's no telling what I've got. Probably charcoal briquets shaped like...

Good Morning Friends, Just thought I'd let you all know about a deal one of our local grocery stores ran this week. They had fresh pork shoulders for 0.79 per lb. They came 2 per pack. As luck would have it my freezer is packed so I didn't get any. However I did pick up a fresh picnic for 0.99...

Hey Gang, Finally got all my stuff together for my 1st Honey Brined Turkey. I'm making the brine right now and the turkey is thawing. Should get it in the brine late tomorrow and on the smoker the next day sometime. Report of results to come soon. Wish me luck. Billy Gardner

Hello to Everybody, The new article about brining is real timely for me. I've been reading about doing a honey brine turkey. My pk. of Morton Tender Quick is on order and when I get it I'll try brining. I do have a question though. If I put my turkey in a large plastic bag and pour the brine...

Good Morning Everybody, Yesterday I tried my 1st Mustard Slathered pork roast and 2 sides of spares. All of my smoking is tested by my next door neighbor "Big Boy". He had one word for my roast. Heavenly. The wife and I ate a side of ribs by ourselves. They were sprinkled with Gordon's Grub...

Just got done eating lunch consisting of my first WSM brisket. It turned out perfect. Nice bark and wonderful flavor. Falling apart tender,too. We used Mr. Kirk's Italian Salad Dressing Marinade,which I can highly recommend. Yesterday it was grilled shrimp in butter sauce which were very good...
