For his first cook on the smoker he did 2 beer can chickens. I was very shocked how well the temp stayed at around 248 degrees. We didn't mess with any vents. The highest it got was 257. The cook lasted 3 hours but i left the smoker burning for 5 hours before closing the vents to see how...

I didn't take many pictures yet but i got the steelers logo on it. I still might paint but that is going to cause me a lot of taping now since the logo is on. [/URL][/IMG] The logo was sand blasted so that it won't come off due to the high heat. More to come...

So has anyone had issues with painting the Mini Smokey Joe smoker? The reason i ask is a lot of "Car" guys in my neighborhood are telling me not to paint it. They said that the high heat engine paints are toxic ( i understand the paint is only on the outside ). They also told me that it will...

So i haven't bought my pork belly yet but i plan to very soon. This time around i have a food saver and food saver rolls. Instead of buy a bag large enough to fit the pork belly while curing in the fridge i thought i would just make my own bag with the foodsaver. My question is can i suck the...

So my Et-732 is falling apart. Pieces are falling off every day :). Its time for a new one. I see they have a new long range ET-733. I'm leaning towards that. I saw the igrill2 and thought that was cool but after reading about the range i decided against it. Do you guys recommend the ET-733...

So i let my Son make dinner on Saturday. Figured he could try his hand on steak. I picked up some bacon wrapped steaks they sell in the plastic containers at walmart. Steaks on: Flipping! Still learning: Final product: The one thing i keep telling him to make him not so Nervous is that...

Well every since i bought my Smoker i planed on making Jerky. This weekend i finally did it. My brother caught his first Deer so there was my incentive. He had 3 lbs cut up for Jerky and then i added another 3 lbs of top sirloin. used Hi Mountain Garlic and Pepper Jerky cure. 6 hours total...

My son has been asking for a grill for awhile now. He has also been asking for me to teach him how to cook. So his 10th Birthday was this weekend so we got him a Weber Smokey Joe Silver. It was funny to see how excited he was when he opened the grill. He was also excited i let him cook...

So i tried to search for this and i'm sure its been answered but i could not find it. How long can my newly cured and smoked bacon last in the fridge in my plastic bags? I don't have a vacuum sealer but i have them in freezer bags. I'm sure i can freeze a few bags, but i was planning on...

So this was my 2nd attempt at bacon. I do recommend it for everyone! Started with a 7 lbs pork belly i bought at a farm for 2.79 a pound! Tender Quick and Brown sugar on! After 7 days of cure and then 1 day of drying: Then sliced by hand. I really need a to get a slicer. I lost about a...

So this is my 2nd attempt. First attempt was great. 2nd attempt has me thinking. I had a 7.5 lb pork belly. I used 8 tablespoons of Tender quick. I rubbed it on the Fat side and then picked up the belly and let the meat side grab all the salt that didn't stick. I then rubbed brown sugar on...

I have never done more than 3 racks of ribs on my 18.5 WSM yet but it is something i plan on doing. I also do not own any Rib racks yet. These might come do me one day with xmass and birthday gifts as i never seem to want to spend money on them. So for now i have always thought i will roll...

So i recently got into Cast Iron cooking. I even ordered a special 3 inc cast iron skillet because i knew i wanted to make a egg to go on top of a burger since my son loves that. I was a little scared how it would turn out since i only seasoned it once prior to cooking with it. However it...

You guys have taught me so much in grilling and smoking. So i look to you all again in Cast Iron grilling. I would actually love a section on this since a lot of you do use cast iron when cooking. So my friend just gave me a Cast iron skillet for free from the lodge. I plan on starting with...

I'm not sure if i'm doing it wrong or not. I'm new to charcoal grilling. So i light my Weber Chimney about half full with charcoal. Once i get the flames shooting out after about 15 minutes i am pouring the charcoal either on the side or in the middle of the kettle. At this point i put the...

So i attempted Roadside chicken yesterday. I marinaded chicken legs and boneless skinless breasts for about 7 hours: And here it is at the start. Direct heat: And here it is moved over to indirect for the last 15 minutes to make sure it is cooked: Sorry no plated pics. Was very good...
