    Grill grates

    I have it for my performer. I take out the mid section and use it on my Q on occasions. It's great for high fatty foods. Blocks the flare ups. Imo, it was great when I just started cooking over charcoal. It almost seem idiot proof when cooking. Everything comes out with nice sear marks...

    Your take on wood chips

    Chips for short cooks, chunks for long. Stopped soaking after reading it doesn't really soak. Been trying pellets and I'm surprised how long a handful of pellets can last. I think I might switch exclusively to pellets. Seems to burn cleaner, longer and has more flavour. I do notice it brings...

    Tired of $80 cable bill every month

    Voltage was using a scare tactic which failed.. but the new law that was implemented last year is a little more concerning. The ISP is suppose to report if you are using VPN for downloading/streaming (netflix).. I recently left Teksavvy for Rogers. They been increasing their prices yearly and...

    Tired of $80 cable bill every month

    IMO, KODI on Raspberry PI is too slow. You need to use basic skins and use a bunch of tweaks to have it play HD smoothly. I just build a decent computer with a HTPC case and hook it up to my TV. Kodi really shines with a nice skin like Aeon Nox. Len, Kodi is great with the Phoenix...

    BBQ Dragon

    I have it. I use it when strapped on time and need to cook quick. My experience with it: (light up times, w/full chimney) Lump: 4-5min vs 10min Briquette: 8-10min vs 15-20 I got it on sale. I wouldn't pay full price for it. Like what others said, you can do the same thing with a portable...

    I don't like my ribs

    The first time I made ribs was with the meathead Memphis dust. I also let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour. Mine was bland as well. When I foiled the ribs, all the fat rendering removed the bark. The second time I made ribs I marinated it overnight and it tasted fantastic.

    First Roadside chicken

    Chinese BBQ pork - Char Siu

    Dave, that is really similar to what I used, minus the oyster sauce. I ran out of honey, which I think contribute to the blandness on my first batch. My 2nd batch tasted pretty authentic, but the meat was too lean. I need to try again with pork butt/shoulder. The fat is where's the flavors at.
