    Kingsford SteakAger

    The “Original SteakAger” was a device you put in the bottom of your fridge to dry age. It seems like Kingsford bought/combined with them and now offer three additional refrigerators for dry ageing meat. Time will tell if people will be willing to pay the price they are asking. It seems like a...

    Kingsford SteakAger

    Dry aging is not for everyone. I dry age whole ribeye roasts vertically in a dorm size refrigerator. I have a computer fan to circulate the air and an UV light to kill germs. Humidity control for one roast is not critical as once the outer layer dries the humidity doesn’t matter. I started...

    Letting your steak/roast come to room temperature

    A good sear is a function of moisture. Cook your steaks within 5 minutes of salting or after 40 minutes (even overnight in the fridge.). Between 5 minutes and 40 minutes the salt causes the surface of the steak to be moist, thereby reducing the ability to sear. Reference -...

    Help with Standing Rib Eye Roasts.

    Four potatoes take the same time to cook as one. So.... each roast cooks independently. Don’t let them touch each other. If if you want them finished at the same time, put the big one on first. Put the smaller one on when the time remaining is how long it takes to cook it. Cooking at 225...

    Biggest Turkey that will fit in a wsm?

    Anyone Watching Good Eats: Reloaded?

    I have seen/read interviews about his new show. Many of the techniques he used are now outdated and he wants to update those shows. One example is that pasta used to be cooked by placing the pasta in boiling water. Now certain pasta's can be cooked with minimal water starting with room...

    Ribs on WSM

    I like to eat my mistakes. However too salty, maybe not. I like the two sauces you picked, but salt is the main ingredient in both. A little less sauce or thinning the sauce with a little apple juice might work. Sugars is what makes the ribs dark. Paprika then sugar then salt is what I see...

    Question About the Serving Size Calculator

    I think that the majority of people that cook pork butts, the bone is in. So that is what I vote for. As BBQ is not a science, YMMV (your mileage my vary). Russell

    Maverick 733 or ThermoPro TP-08

    I use my temperature probes mainly to monitor the WSM temperature. For two smokers, I'd just use the Smoke to monitor both pit temperatures. You might need another probe.

    Smoking and Timing of Meals

    "Now if I can just stop being like a ball in a tennis match and make a final decision on which smoker to get!" That's a whole different topic. I've had an 18" wsm for few years now with a BBQ Guru. At times I wish it was larger (BDS or 22" WSM).

    Smoking and Timing of Meals

    Smoking is an art, not a science. With experience comes wisdom. After a few cooks, you will be able to predict your finishing times better. Russell
