    Rotisserie

    The main difference between the 2 is the Cajun Bandit allows you to use it on either a smoker or grill of the same size. You flip it over depending on what you are using it on and either move the motor mounts or bolt a second mount in place. The Weber rotisserie only works on the grills. The...

    Weber 63039 26" Hinged Cook Grate

    The new grate does have the dull sheen to it of SS, but hard to tell with pictures. You can check with a magnet, if it is SS it will not stick to it because of the low carbon content. But you have to make sure to not be near a weld as they will contain some carbon. If it is nickle plated steel...

    Planks 'n' Flanks

    That is a great idea for trimmings from bacon! I like that idea of planks instead of making bacon bits which I normally do. Shouldn't be just a bachelor meal should be an anytime meal IMO :) Then again I am a full time bachelor so may not want to listen to me LOL. Great looking meal, corn here...

    304 Stainless Steel Hinged Cooking Grate for 22.5 inch Weber Kettles

    Wow that thing is a beast at 15 pounds but bet it lasts as long as the kettle. My Weber $78 SS grate came as did the mistake nickle plated one. The SS one is 5 oz. lighter at 71 oz. ( 4.5 lbs.), but nickle does weigh more than stainless so the plating must be fairly thick. But am lucky to get...

    Just Another Vortex\Wings Thread

    Because of all the threads and info on the Vortex and wings on here it pushed me over the edge and ordered one. Sunday I started the day off by doing a burn off on it in the kettle. While that was happening cooked breakfast on the Genesis with maple\brown sugar cured bacon. My potato...

    New 22.5 OTG in copper

    Yes guess the color didn't go over well. Although I like it. Someone on another website (Tacoma World of all places) from Texas posted that his HD had them for $99 back on July 20th. So I checked my HD but they didn't have any in stock. At the time thought it was a regional thing. Guess not...

    Bacon Burnt Ends

    Thank you all for the kind words. Proof that even a blind squirrel gets a lucky nut once in awhile ;) Chris Farley always makes me smile if not laugh out loud. In a van down by the river. I did this with cured because I had just finished curing a large pork belly, almost 12 pounds. So cut a...

    Simple but Tasty Meal

    I am stealing what Rich posted because he gave perfect step by step on the way to do it and now you have it on this page and don't have to go back to look at it. And his is prettier than the tutorial I did on Upland Journal :D Plus his is more relevant than my eagle shots. Looks like you got...

    Simple but Tasty Meal

    Don't give up Kemper, the pictures will come! It looks like the viewing privacy in your pictures are set to Private instead of Public. You will need to change that so that you can share them I believe. In Flickr when you have your picture up scroll down until you get to Additional Information...

    Bacon Burnt Ends

    Saturday finished curing 11.5 pounds of pork belly. Before I made bacon decided to cut a couple of pounds off one half and make some bacon burnt ends. About noon started with the cubed cured pork loin. Chunks were large about 2" but knew it would shrink a lot. EVOO and Memphis rub with no...

    Weber kettle, WSM and wood decks

    This. I have been grilling and smoking on wooden decks for more than 25 years now. The only times I have really had any issues are with the chimney starter holding onto a hot piece and not being aware of it. And when that happens they will always fall out in between the grill\smoker and their...

    304 Stainless Steel Hinged Cooking Grate for 22.5 inch Weber Kettles

    You would be correct, the part no. helps as does an agent that understands stainless steel means stainless steel :) They have a few left but as of right now one less than before. I called an hour ago and talked to a rep. and he assured me that the one for $28 was stainless steel, which didn't...

    Never kebab pineapple next to meat

    They still look pretty tasty to me! But know that mushy taste pineapple gives pork and chicken too well, which is of course where it really compliments the meat. Bright side is you have discovered the greatness that is called King Hawaiian, one of my favorites for chicken and pork. I made...

    BBQ IQ temperature control

    You are correct, and doesn't matter if it is an ATC or remote read do NOT submerge the braided wire in water. Really like my CyberQ never had a probe short out on it yet or submerged the braided wires. When you start out in the teens below zero on a cook and gets up into the teens above sure is...

    Thank you for the warm welcome Bob, I'm going to have to up my game in both pictures and cooking now :D And for the link, I've read it several times over the years. And quite a ways into it once again. I have always wet brined and have a life time supply of #1 pink salt and no MTQ, never have...

    Pecan smoked bacon

    Another Pentaxian All of your pictures look great! I have jerky on the WSM right now with the ATC holding low temps, almost done. Then have a 11.5 pound belly to cut in half and start curing. I had 2 cures that I was going to use but now I just have to go find this "Bacon Made Easy" thread and...
