My wife makes some really good smoked turkey enchiladas with the leftover turkey.

I use three standard size paper towels with a little vegetable oil sprinkled on it, and a Weber chimney.

My wife would be very unhappy if I did not put wood on while doing a rib roast. I've done three. I usually keep one piece of hickory and one piece of apple in it for the first 2/3's off the smoke, instead of my normal three pieces. I thought that the smoke flavor was too light on the last one...

Joint checking so she was going to see the new cover and the charge from the retailer. Figured it was better to confess than get caught. I ordered a 550 Spyder kit car a couple months ago and have been building a motor and gathering parts. Think she's starting to wonder if the spending will...

David, great story. I ordered the correct Weber cover (7801) and a replacement ash catcher handle. My wife instantly noticed that my $8 BBQ was now a $68 BBQ, and not as good a deal anymore. Marrying a smart girl seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm going to have to stop telling her about...

I simply search for "weber" in the main page. I'm building an air cooled VW motor, so Weber carbs or Weber BBQ's work for me.

I did a party once. I cooked the butts the two days before, and briskets the day before. Wrapped them and put them in a cooler like I normally do. Whey they got down to the 140, I wrapped them with plastic wrap (foil still on) and put them in the fridge. The morning of the party I removed...

I jumped on a Craigslist ad Friday and came home with this. I thought it was a misprint or a joke when I saw the $8 price. I offered to pay cash, and pick it up that night. A woman called me after about 30 minutes and told me to come get it. Her husband even helped put it in the back of my...

I was thinking that I might be able to choke the air flow down, with my DigiQ DX2. I going to have to buy some ribs and another bag of lump and give it a try. I think there are fillers in briquettes, which I could do without, given I buy good quality lump.

Bob, I have read that lump burns hotter. I have a BBQ Guru. It keeps the temps right where I want them. I'm wondering, have you used an ATC with lump? Daris

Was at a party and the host asked me to grill some burgers and dogs. The host had a huge load of mesquite lump going. I had to admit, it was probably the quite tasty for a budget frozen patty. Yesterday, I picked up a couple rib eyes and some mesquite lump. The steaks were excellent. I think...

Laura, I used a Smokenator for a couple years, with really good results. When I finally decided that I wanted to continue smoking, I bought a WSM (that's another story for a different quesiton). I ended up developing a routine. I checked it once an hour. The coals seemed to burn unevenly in...

I smoked some beef ribs last year. I used my normal pork rub, but without the sugar. I cooked them at 225 until done. They were very good. I prefer pork, but I'll do beef again.

Rib roasts were on sale in our areas. I picked up a 4.71 lb roast, slathered it with herb paste and put it on the WSM with some apple and wild cherry wood. My wife made some mashed potatoes and asparagus. She said it was the best rib roast I've ever made. My 2 1/2 year old daughter is not real...

If I've got lit coals in the WSM, I'm putting meat on it. I put a rib roast on mine the first time, and it was fantastic. It's going to season either way.
