    WSM or Performer for Turkey?

    I've found that when I run my 18.5 wsm wide open, it's around 325-340, and each turkey takes around 10 minutes/lb. I use a dry pan. I think your turkey would only take around 3hrs and 20 minutes. A performer would have a tendency to be hotter than that, maybe in the high 300s to mid 400 range...

    Turkey skin- title states baking soda, recipe has baking powder, which is it?

    Interesting. I think that's the same recipe as https://www.cooksillustrated.com/recipes/7212-simple-grill-roasted-turkey I notice that they also did away with the icing the breast method. I may use a mixture of the two methods...

    Turkey skin- title states baking soda, recipe has baking powder, which is it?

    Just to confirm, you didn't rinse your salted turkeys? In Cook's Illustrated version, published 11/1/2006 (but fully available online, 'roast salted turkey'), they rinse theirs. But maybe it doesn't really make much difference.

    Can I smoke ribs on a day that has a high temp of 18 degrees?

    I don't believe the WSM includes any disclaimers about not working below certain temperatures. Plenty of people smoke successfully in cold environments. If you are not using any kind of windscreen or insulating jacket, you'll likely use more fuel than usual and may want to start with 1 and a...

    Mustard slathered brisket: How long before cooking?

    Paul Kirk brushes on the mustard slather first and then sprinkles on the rub. This seems like it would do better than vice versa b/c the slather will go on nice and smooth, and then provide a nice tacky surface for the rub.

    HELP!! Temp too low!!

    Rob- it sounds like you initially put unlit on top of lit coals(?). I know that this can work successfully, but I wonder if it gives lower temps than vice versa. Weather here yesterday was high 40s or so and windy. I lit 1 and a half chimneys of kingsford mixed w/lump. Let them get good and...

    What is the best dual probe remote thermometer ?

    I have one and it seems to only have a range of 10 feet or so, as long as the receiver is sitting on a window sil. I had a wall inbetween and I noticed the temps did not update for 6-8 minutes, so I went outside and the actual temps were 12-15 higher than the receiver was saying. The...

    Bringing Q to work...we've got mixed religions

    The Jewish partners at big law firms tend not to be too orthodox, as the 'working 80 to 90 hours a week' thing tends to interfere with leading an orthodox lifestyle. The easiest thing to fix would be beef ribs. Cut them up first, rub them well w/britu rub, give them about 4:30-4:45 at 250-255...
