    I don't have the Auber 2615 either but am considering getting one, based on this review at amazingribs.com.

    Best all purpose dry rub?

    I made ribs with this rub just yesterday. Adds flavor but is not overpowering. Actually I used the rib recipe from Harry's website, including the honey+brown sugar crutch stage. I was nervous about using this much sugar but the results was very good. By very good, I mean the wife really liked...

    Performer vs. One Touch Gold

    I've had an OTG now for 7 or 8 years. It's been outside for all of that time with zero maintenance. Well, every couple of years I scrape the big pieces off the inside of the lid and buy a new grate, but that's it. Pretty incredible if you ask me. But I'm sure the Performer is just as durable...

    What's your favorite coffee maker?

    Sounds like what we use: http://www.sweetmarias.com/clevercoffeedripperpictorial.php It works very well. I have a metal insulated 16 oz coffee cup, and the medium coffee dripper makes the perfect amount for it. It makes very good coffee and really isn't any more work than using a coffee maker...

    BBQ Philosophy of An Old Codger

    Good post, Lew! Like most of the rest of us I just sort of stumbled into this place. I bought a WSM because a lot of folks were doing well in comps with them. If people can win with WSMs why pay $$$ for something else? I don't claim to be a good cook but the review s from friends and family...

    Mods to new WSM 18.5

    I also did the handle and temp probe mods before I even used my new WSM. You can get by without these two mods but they sure make life easier. Another mod I like is the 3-in-1 charcoal grate mod. This prevents charcoal from falling out the bottom and basically makes the bottom grate one unit...

    Rework Silver B or upgrade to new EP-330

    If I were to buy a gasser the ep-330 would be the exact one I would get. With all the SS they're about as indestructible as a grill is likely to get.

    Newbie with first packer

    My standard for good brisket is what I've tried at local comps like the Lakeland Pigfest. This is my best effort so far, but I have a lot to learn. The flavor was good, but the brisket itself was too dry. I did notice that a lot of juice fell onto my foiled flower-pot base. I defatted that and...

    Newbie with first packer

    I ended up not foiling anyway. Currently the wsm is at 232 and the brisket is 183. Shouldn't be too long now. 13 hrs and counting... Good thing I started this thing last night. The abt's and the fatty were both big hits.

    Newbie with first packer

    You guys make a lot of sense. Too bad I've already injected the brisket. I have Ray Lampe's BBQ book, so I used his beef injection. I think I'm ok. It's pretty mild and I didn't drown it. I also used his Big Time BBQ rub. I trimmed the brisket a bit. I cut off the raggedy bits and most of the...

    Newbie with first packer

    Last weekend I came across a 9.5 lb packer brisket and snapped it up. I've tried to cook flats a couple of times, once in the kettle and once in the wsm, but they were disappointing to say the least. I plan on starting it either late tonight or early tomorrow. I know the HH method is popular...

    Weber Kettle Hold Heat Well?

    The performer is a really nice grill and I may well have bought one if HD had one in stock that fateful day. But I ended up with a One-Touch Gold instead. However that and the OTS will cook just as well as the performer. The performer does have a handy lighting system and a temp gauge, but those...

    Another FoodSaver 50% off deal

    I bought a 3825 kit from Costco for (IIRC) $140 that looks nearly identical to the machine on foodsaver.com. It also comes with the marinator and extra rolls and bags. The only differences I can see is the Costco unit has an extra Pulse/Vac button and it isn't 50% of $346.80.

    The Water Pan and Smoking

    Good information! I can live with 2%. I just got my WSM and was not keen on cleaning the crud out of that water bowl after every cook. I'm using a clay pot base wrapped in foil. Doing my first pork butt on the WSM today. Wish me luck!

    First Over Nighter-When I actually slept.

    I had the same experience with the kettle. It's a fantastic device, but low-n-slow is not its strength. Tonight I made grilled salmon and it was fantastic. I made a glaze out of honey and balsamic vinegar. I don't bother pre-smoking the board or anything like that. I just get the grill...
