1st time using Stubbs Briquets. Did two racks of ribs in the WSM and grilled some drummies on the Brinkman offset. Both went very well. I actually believe I like it better than Kingsford.

OK.......this is my 89 year old moms recipe. I have been eating these hushpuppies for 52 years now and still remember the first time I ate a hushpuppy at a restraunt. I said "This aint no hushpuppy!" Heat your grease hot. True southerners call any frying oil "grease". At least I was taught that...

Here is my time proven and tested sauce. I call it Paw Paw's Sauce. In a microwave dish place one medium onion minced really fine, two tblsp crushed garlic, and a large pat of butter. Microwave for 6-7 minutes. IN a pan on the stove put the following on medium heat. ¼ cup cider vinegar ¼ cup...

I used the BRITU recipe, with the exception of finishing with my own sauce. Several people (me included) tried ribs with just the rub and were impressed with that flavor. I will use BRITU from now on. I used Bryan ribs. Pulled the membrane and "Dusted" with the rub. Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Well, here it is 1:03 and my first brisket is "in the bullet". Came in from mthe new years service at church and fired off the bullet.I have always let the wife cook the briskets in the oven, as she does a wonderful job. But this time after all the great turkey I have cooked since buying the...

I love my WSM. Never before have I had turkey as good as this. I'm geting ready to try my hand at a brisket. For that - I know I will use a pan. Question centers aorund this. I have a friend at work who cooks wonderful boston butt on his ECB, and does not use the pan. Now - being a butt...

The wife is carving the two turkey breasts that I did this evening. Have a church Christmas dinner tommorow after service. I cooked two in the WSM. I'm telling you, you can keep your deep fryers. I will take a Turkey cooked in my WSM any day. Juicy, tender and very flavorful. I used Pecan wood...

I'm sure my neighbors are having a time. I've got the WSM going with a 8 pound turkey breast for the party at work tommorow. Hickory wood on 2 chimneys of Kingsford. In my horizontal offset, I have a fire going in the main chamber and hamburgers and pork chops going there. Man! It sure...

I knew I should have cooked a bigger turkey. I'm mad at my self for not doing so. I have no leftovers for sandwiches. That is always a big part of Thanksgiving to me - eating a sandwich or two on the days following. There is a breast in the freezer that is calling my name. Mike, Mike, put me...

Thanks Chris for starting this board and site. Thanks everyone else for your contributions. My turkey was a HIT! I have never had a more juicy, flavorful bird. Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I just put on a 11 pound butterball. I will try my hand at brining for Christmas. 2 oranges, quartered and put in the gut. Hickory wood on the coals. Lit 2 full chimneys of Kingsford and put about 3 pounds on top of that. Let it all get gray. Foiled the pan. Assembled. ran up to 400 pretty...

OK, it's 1:30 and I just put a 5.5 pound roasting hen on the bottom grate. On top of that I put a pork tenderloin. Started one chimney, spread it into the fire ring and filled up the ring with unlit kingsford. waited until it was all going and assembled the WSM with a foiled bottom waterpan...

Here is the menu for Saturday. Bottom grate - a 5 pound roasting hen (yes - chicken) Breast down - explained below. Top grate - two racks of ribs to drip on the hen. (Pork juice on hens is wonderful basting stuff.) This is the reason for the breast down hen. Position the ribs over the rear...

OK.. this one will make you slap anyone who gets close to your plate. Take a head of cabbage, half it, quarter it, then halve the quarters. Serves 8 - duh. Take each chunk and wrap it in foil with a slice of onion and a large pat of butter, salt and pepper. Takes about 30 minutes in a 225...

I butterflied a fryer this afternoon, rubbed it with Tex-Joy and put it on the bottom grate with no water in a foil wrapped pan. On the top rack was 5 links of good italian sausage and some cabbage. All four of us devoured the chicken. Very good. The cabbage was beyo9nd this world good. Take...

Got my WSM today Fedex while I was out. Noticed a place on the carton damaged. Opened it all up and sure nuff, there was a ding on the bottom of the center section. Bent up and finish chipped off. I called the 800# and just a few minutes later after a very easy conversation, a new section was...

I am intrigued by the minion method. Only one concern. The stiff that is used to bind the lumps together. I use Kingsford only. Pros and cons? Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I just ordered a WSM through TVWBB and Amazon. I owned a brinkman years ago and finally it mercifully rusted into oblivion. After that I owned a Weber 22.5" kettle until it got divorced. (Long story) Last year I bought a Brinkman offset Pro. After trying to smoke with it and FIGHTING...
