Cooked up some chicken and ribs for 4th of July. Kansas sweet BBQ run from Aldi and added some Nashville spicy rub which was a lot hotter than I expected. Ribs went through the 3-2-1 method at 250F. Chicken was at 275F for 2.5 hours, then seared with BBQ sauce. Used Burman Texas BBQ sauce from...

I got really lucky and found the last one in San Diego:

Do you guys use Crisco as a fire starter? Its cheaper than dirt for a tub of it at walmart. It's the only thing I use. If I'm out in the field and forget it, I use a slice of fat from my meat, wrapped the same way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3U7_nn4oReg&feature=youtu.be

Im not near my computer but I'll post the rest of the photos sometime tomorrow evening. The pulled pork came out very nice and tender. But I did a foolish thing: I didn't let the meat rest before shredding it. As a result the evaporation caused it to come out less moist than I prefer. I...

Sold. Thanks!

The lowest I can do is $120. $100 is too big of a loss for me unfortunately. Are you still interested?

Got everything up to temp by noon and loaded up the food. Stable but pretty high in temp. Two bottom dampers are completely closed and one is open 20%. Had to shut the top damper also--40% open. Temperature is stable at around 260F now. From what everyone is saying, first smoke = hard to...

I'm going to do my first pork shoulder and im targeting around noon until 5 or 6pm. I managed to pick up 6lbs of it but it's been sliced into 2 inch slabs. Given its not one whole, what is the best way to smoke this? Temperature-wise and meat arrangement. Upright or flat on the grate...

A lot of good information! Tomorrow I'm going to fire up the smoker and get 6 lbs of pork shoulder smoked. The pork shoulder came in 4 slices so I'm hoping that I don't have to make any adjustments. I was also thinking of placing a bowl of baked beans to catch the drippings and using the mix...

Last week I managed to pick up an 18.5 WSM for a great price and I'm looking forward to doing my first cook on it. If only I can find the time to! Speaking of time, I have two curious questions: 1. How do you guys make the most out of your 5-6 hour cooks? Do you set it, go out and run...

If there is anyone in San Diego (CA) who would like to buy my new and unopened original kettle premium grill, in green, please let me know. I found some good deals after ordering this, and with no room left in the house, this must go. I can't return it without having to pay an absorbent amount...

How about a wok ring? http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00012F3X6/tvwb-20

I made the second batch this evening and it came out really tasty.

I'd say gas grill, bring along a wood chip smoker box and you'll still have a great meal :) How did they turn out? I cant wait to grill the rest of my rib eyes this weekend.

Thanks Nick. I just noticed you're from San Diego too. Which part?
