Looks Great!! Did you keep the kettle closed for most of the cook? If so, what was your dome temp?

Let us know how it turns out. I grew up in West KY and love BBQ mutton. I tried smoking a shoulder once and it wasn't quite the same. Not to be critical, but bbq mutton is typically served either sliced and most frequently chipped. For all the times I've seen it on menus, I've never seen it...

Urban Chestnut brews some great beers. I havent ben to their brewery, but I live North of St Louis and in their area of distribution. The chops look good, by the way!

I f everything else wasn't good enough, you got me with the Makers 46. To me it is one of the best value bourbons.

Thanks! I read good things about this cover. I just wish it was avialble in black.

Do you have a link for this or where d you go to find it?

Nice!! Haven't seen Blanton's in a couple of years and I refuse to pay twice retail. Even Colonel Taylor is becoming harder to find.

From as early as I could remember my Dad always grilled on a cheapo charcal grill. My first experience with BBQ was going with him to help cook on open pits for church picnics. In high school some buddies and I would get a case of chicken quesrters and go to someone's farm and start bbqing...

Plowboys Yardbird is a great rub for chicken. The first competition I entered a friend recommended it to me. We ended up winning first in chicken using it.

You won't regret getting the 22" WSM. I wish it was available when I bought my 18" WSM. I have a 26" kettle and it's a work horse for 2 zone grilling , wings using a vortex and I'll use the snake method for smoking smaller cuts of meats doing shorter cooks. When I'm smoking pork butts and...

What is the measurement for heavy cream? I have been looking for a good sauce for fish.

I grew up in West Ky and BBQ mutton is definitely a thing. It's most common to get it chipped with a thin vinager based sauce. A distint flavor you can't find anywhere else. Moonlite BBQ is a Mecca atraction, but there is better bbq in Owensboro. Also, in the Owensboro area the Catholic...

Check out Chiggercreek Wood Products. They have quality wood chunks I have used for years. Nice dense wood chunks. They also have a quality Lump Charcoal, but I dont think they ship it. They are located in NE MO and distribute throughout Missouri. http://www.chiggercreek.com/chunks.html

I've had an 18" WSM for over 15 years and it was my first "smoker". Used a 22" kettle to smoke with before that. I built a UDS with parts from my old kettle because I wanted more capacity. Purchased a Weber Genesis gas grill to replace my old kettle. Then purchased a 26" Kettle because I...

What did you use to light the charcoal in the vortex?
