    Stubbs All Natural Charcoal briqs

    FWIW, Don't let 100% natural fool you, Stubbs lists that on his rubs also and the ingredients are vague on the container, IMO. There are a lot of natural ingredients that are bad for you. If the charcoal works well, and you like the results, that's what counts. Cowboy has more brands than...

    Charcoal

    I am an admitted lump user, but I do use Kingsford from time to time, and I agree with you. It is easier to get a more consistent burn that will last longer than lump, with briquettes, IMO. I also agree about being readily available. I see a lot of folks use Royal Oak briquettes on TVWBB, but...

    Anyone know the nutritional value of cooked BBQ meat?

    I might be in a minority here, but I have never been convinced and don't believe that fat is bad for us. I believe it is the food we eat together as a whole that makes the most difference. The Eskimos have lived on whale blubber for long periods of time, without signs of being unhealthy. Body...

    Lazzari Mesquite or Mesquite Lump in General Question

    I wouldn't touch the mesquite, err, I don't touch the mesquite at all. There is no comparison in the mesquite and hardwood lump from Lazzari. BBQ Galore sells their hardwood lump for $7.99 for a 10 lb. bag, and $14.99 for a 20 lb. bag of it. All of our mileage varies. Very hard to find the...

    no more high temp probles for stoker?

    I have only spoke to John once, and it was prior to getting my Stoker, but he mentioned that he was having a hard time getting the braided mesh over the wire to stay connected to the probe, on the high heat models that would go up to 1000 degrees. Those probes are different in that they have...

    In the Market for Additional Stoker Blower

    Larry, The one time I spoke with John it seemed to me that he did his homework, and the parts he uses are the best ones he can find. True that they are not cheap, but look at the bright side, your single Stoker controller can manage them with no problem, although if it would have been nice to...

    Mrs. Brown, we got a 'thang...going on...

    Bruce, Almost missed your post, but I cooked them at 240 the whole way. I was gonna do them at 225, but every time I cook at 225, it seems I'm late for dinner...in this case I needed to get the ribs on after, to serve about 5:00pm-6:00pm. Truth be told, I didn't get the ribs on until about...

    What's The Purpose of the Water Pan?

    Hey, wait a minute...I thought the purpose of the water pan was to burn you when you're tending the fire through the door? DAMHIKT

    What Do You Do With Your Spares Trimmings?

    Tom, I learned to enjoy Indian food when I lived in Japan, they had several authentic restaurants and one had a glass enclosure where you could watch the chef make nan and tandori in the deep clay oven. These trimmings are good as curry typically will cook for a long time, and it softens it up...

    Bad Stoker experience

    I realize I haven't had or used my Stoker as long as many of you, but so far mine is working like a champ, I didn't even buy it from John, and haven't had to go to him for a thing. I did upgrade my unit right after I bought it, but it's been going and working fine. The web server is just too...

    What Do You Do With Your Spares Trimmings?

    OOps, wanted to hit this thread with my last post. Add curry to the list of things to do with your trimmings. My wife did an tasty curry tonight with the trimmings from last night's spareribs.

    Oak wood for pork butt and brisket??

    Steve, Didn't mean to trash it, but about 20 years ago, I had a neighbor next to me and he weened me off mesquite and would insist that I used hickory rather than mesquite. After a few cooks I did see that it was better tasting...but I think it all depends on the meat you use, it's ok for some...

    Mrs. Brown, we got a 'thang...going on...

    Toby, My bad...it wasn't Mrs. Brown that had a 'thang going on, it was Mrs. Jones...I realized when I kept singing it in my head, and it flashed on me that it was Mrs. Jones...I should know better...*sigh* Tom, I did in fact put too much of the rub on, didn't know to lightly dust them until...
