Craig, I know what you mean about the French not knowing what a fried turkey is. When my unit was over ther for a Thanksgiving, we fried four of them. The French at the hotel didn't have the fogiest idea of what was going on. But, when they tasted it, the smile was all worth it. They learned...

Did 2 buts the other day. Put them on at 11pm at 210, checked again at 0530 temps at 230. Left for work and told the wife what to look for. Well, the wife calls around 1130 and said temps are droping. I told her to knock the bottom to clean briquets. She calls again at 1330 and said temps...

I too love Nahunta and often stop by there from work for a lot of stuff. The farmers market is also a good deal. Just call ahead to see if they will have what you want. I do this for whole hogs and such when I need to pick on Sat. The farmers market is actually closer to my house than the...

I agree w/ Rick, come on up to 264 at Wilson. I just moved out of Wilson, so I am familar w/ the area. Parkers is better than Bills IMO. Bills was distroyed after Fran, the pictures are remarbable. But they are up and running again w/ a dinning hall buffet style. Lots of choices on the...

Dude, use loaf bread, crackers, anything like that will work w/ pulled pork. As far as the sauce, KC will work b/c that's what you have...You could call your guest and have them stop and get a few items if you want..I do that and they are always glad to assist. Hope this helps....

If it were me, I would get chef/santako (your choice), meat slicing(briskets/hams), somthing that would cut through bones like ribs (I call it a butcher knife) and a 4" paring. As far as purchase places, check the internet as there are lots of choices. If you want to touch what you buy, I have...

Darl, don't know about the que, but I have a possible solution for the water pan. If you see the Brinkman on the BS website, just email or call the store that you will be visiting and ask them. If they carry them in the BS system, then see if they will ship one to the store for you to pick up...

Your times and results are right on w/ what I have been doing. If fact, I schedule out my meals for a 19 hr smoke. Pics look good also. Keep up the good work and keep 'em smokin'!!!

Thanks to all for the compliments. Art-I got the bean recipe from a new cookbook (Barbecue, Biscuits, and Beans: Chuckwagon Cooking by Bill Cauble, Cliff Teinert, Tommy Lee Jones, Watt Matthews Casey) and it is 2# of soaked, cleaned pintos, 2 yellow onions cut up, 1 tblsp on garlic powder, 1...

Here are my latest brisket pics. Looked good and tasted good, just not as tender as I wanted. I think I smoked it too long, and there wasn't alot of fat on it. Beans tasted good, but didn't cook quite long enough. Guess I gotta keep on tryin'5 Jun Brisket

I don't know what I learned this weekend...I had the 6.5# brisket flat and put it on at 0616 Sun and by 2 pm, temps was only 140. This is after smoking at 225is, never above 250. Never could get it about 140 (yes, I did check several places in the flat). Took it off and let it rest after...

Thanks for the tip. Just got home w/ a 6.5# brisket flat to smoke. I want to eat around 5 PM tomorrow, so, I am thinking about puttin it on around 5 am or so for 10 hr smoke time. Does that sound like a plan, or do I need to concider an overnite smoke? Brisket is my weak point right now. Thanks,

I am thinking of doing the same thing w/ my beans, but I am doing a brisket tomorrow. My plan is to put the beans on about the lower rack about 1 1/2 hrs prior to pulling brisket (so that I catch some drippings, pull and wrap brisket and let bean finish on smoker. Anyone see any hazards w/...

I just bought some called Yammy's sauce. They have several textures,,sweet&red, and traditional vinegar base. The thick stuff is good. My buddy and I met the owner last Sat at Charlotte as he was cooking some wings for samples. Turns out he is from my neck of the woods as I reconized who...

S, the grill itself is a Phonex gas grill shell. It was a leftover my buddy had. The guys at work and I made the rest of it. I had a truck at the time it was made and we measure my waist and where I wanted the grate of the grill and went from there. It was made out of scrap metal and I have...
