    Unidentified Charcoal Substance-Frontier Lump Charcoal

    My local Home Depot is finally selling Royal Oak and I can also buy Nature's Own hardwood lump from a place nearby. I think that is the last bag of Frontier I buy.

    Unidentified Charcoal Substance-Frontier Lump Charcoal

    I have found some strange things in lump charcoal over the years, but this one has me perplexed. This collection is from a single bag of Frontier Lump Charcoal purchased from BJ's. This is after burning half of the bag. Does anyone know what these rock-like substances are and how they get into...

    Questions about cooking Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q Chicken w/ White Sauce

    Don, I think I tried that recipe a couple of years ago and had trouble with the long cook. I love Alabama chicken and it is always a big hit with the Yankees in New England. I've never been to Bob Gibson's restaurant, but I am very thankful for his white sauce. I typically use the Cook's...

    Camp Grilling

    I finally get to have a week of camping. Tradition dictates that I cook Cornell Chicken on the first night. I usually cook it indirectly on my kettle grill at home. When camping I bring a WeberQ, which only has one burner and you can't cook indirectly. Does anyone have any tips on cooking...

    Pork Steak Question

    Thanks for the tips guys. I've made a new friend with pork steaks. I'm so tired of brining pork loins and always eating lean pork with no flavor. The butt has enough fat to provide flavor and moisture. I dry rubbed 3 steaks with my typical BBQ rub and 2 with just salt, pepper, and garlic. I...

    Heads up! Check your grill brushes.

    It seems the consensus here is to spend $13 on a good Weber grill brush and I can go on worrying about other things in my life. I'll have to admit the story did give me pause when I first heard it. It's bad enough with my wife thinking I'm trying to kill her with under-cooked hamburger.

    Pork Steak Question

    I talked my butcher in Rhode Island into cutting me some pork steaks. It wasn't too hard to convince him. I've seen several different techniques, but not much on specifics. Some say direct, others indirect, and Dr. Barbecue says smoke them in his new book. I'm ready for any technique, but what...

    Prices for brisket packers?

    It's the same in Massachusetts. The northeast is overpriced.

    Looking for advice w/Smokenator & 1st smoke

    Laura, I've used my Smokenator for years with good results mainly cooking ribs and smoked salmon. Go easy with closing and opening the vents as is described in the instructions. Your temps will go up and down quickly. Meathead just put some tips regarding the Smokenator on his webpage that you...

    Are we all doing it wrong?

    I agree wholeheartedly with the comments by Dave, Don, and Glenn. I rely on Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country for a lot of recipes and techniques, but they don't use a smoker in their trials. When I compare Cornell chicken recipes between Steven Raichlen and Cook Country, Raichlen wins every...

    Deck or Driveway.....thoughts?

    I've use a grill pad under my grill and smoker on a wooden deck for the past 10 years. Now you guys are making me nervous. However, most of the time I'm smoking with several feet of snow and ice on the deck so I'm guess I'm ok. Although I am rethinking all of this again...
