I'd like to know if there's a better cover for my 22" WSM? My current cover came with it, and have had it for 3 years and feels like it has shrunk, and putting it back on was very difficult, should I be putting some chemical on the cover to prevent this?

Yum...I keep seeing that knife most everybody uses for carving/slicing their brisket, yet can't seem to find one, so, went and bought a $60 carving set from Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Where are they purchased from restaurant supply shops?

I'm in preparations for a Fathers Day smoke and am gonna do a Coffee Cardamom Brisket, and have done quite a bit of digging and reading on this target rub, but still have questions for those that have done this cook before and any input in general on this. When cooking this do you have to use...
