Hi Michael, welcome! I think 20-25 minutes is about right for the unlit coals to get lit and ready to go. Maybe a little more depending on your conditions. If you start cooking before the 2nd chimney of coals is lit, it just takes a little longer for your smoker to get up to that higher cooking...

That's not a very nice outcome for that order. I'm sorry to say, but Rock Auto went on my naughty list a few years ago for some of the same issues. Shipping was expensive, and then shipped incorrectly, and then CS was horrible to top it off.

I went through 3 other pairs of poultry shears before I finally bought the OXO ones. They are fantastic. I wish I had bought them to begin with. Spatchcocking that big turkey will certainly help with cooking it evenly. You might even want to consider cutting it up into quarters. Have a happy...

Yes sir! Nice buy on that, and a great cook. Your mother-in-law has a nice son-in-law.

I won't say some of the (good) words I thought of. That is OUTSTANDING.

I had to look it up too: She Who Must Be Obeyed

I used to buy the jar of minced garlic at Costco, now I buy the bag of whole cloves at Costco and freeze them. Take a couple/few cloves out at a time and keep in the refrigerator to use, and store the big bag in the freezer.

Thank you, and a big THANK YOU to all of you who have served. I went with a few fellow veterans to visit a some gravesites today. Lots of stories told of both the good times and the bad. It was the Marine Corp birthday yesterday, and one of my Marine Corp friends invited me to a "birthday...

I'm in the same camp; spatchcocked and smoked on the WSM. My family won't let me cook it any other way. 2021's turkey fresh on the WSM:

I usually get a McRib when they bring it back each year. I just haven't been able to get motivated to do that this year. No particular reason just doesn't sound good this time. As for it maybe never coming back? It seems like they say that every year. I'm with Chris, they will definitely bring...

That's a nice outcome. Party at Chris' house!

Costco had frozen turkeys for $0.98/lb last year, and I bought 3; cooked one, gave one to a family in need, and put one in the deep freeze. I still have the one in the freezer and will probably just use it this year. I meant to cook it during the summer, but just didn't get around to it. If...

Following along. I made some gravlax last year, and going to try some cold smoking this year.

Our fearless leader did a burn test with some Kingsford from 1984. Burned fine.

Glad you are on the mend. It can be a very, very serious issue for some people. Sometimes (trying to be delicate) based on the output, you know what it was.

I think with a little bit of work, it might have some potential. I'm honestly not expecting anything earth shattering, but maybe just something fun to use once in a while. I probably won't use it much this winter either. Now if it was gas fired....... :unsure:

Wellllll................. a rational thought suddenly occurred to me this morning when I went to open the box: where am I gong to put this?? Like other acquisition issues in my life (I'm looking at you motorcycle and backpacking gear), storage is secondary, when it really should be primary...

I sliced a few pieces of each sugar type this morning, and cooked them up in the air fryer. My family slept in, so it was just my treat with a nice omelet. I have to say, my preference is definitely the brown sugar vs. the white sugar. After my family dragged themselves out of bed, I sliced up...

After 6 hours of cold smoke, I gathered the remaining coals together, and let the WSM ramp up to about 180F. and pulled the slabs at about 145F internal temp each. Bagged up, and they are sitting in an ice bath. Turned out beautiful. My son said he is very, very excited to try some out...

They live on every time we say their name. I'm pretty sure the first thing I learned from Bob was about sardines. Bacon and other things were secondary later on.
