    Deck or Driveway.....thoughts?

    I grew up grilling on a deck, now I don't have one so the choice is easy. It really just depends on what you feel comfortable with but accidents can happen anywhere. Just make sure that yor fire isn't unattended.

    Cook gone wrong by $50,000

    Please do be careful, no matter how great the BBQ is, it's never too good to be careless. If you're doing an overnight, make sure to put it on your driveway or some other concrete surface.

    any tricks to greatly speed up a chimney starter?

    I generally use two cubes and it'll take around 15-20 minutes. No offense but it seems like a waste of cubes to get it to light only a couple minutes sooner. Why do you need it in 9-minutes? I would agree that if you want it done that fast, get a weed burner.

    No smoke in my 22" WSM

    My guess is that it's the wood. I don't think that you need to be that strategic in placing the wood but whatever works for you. What type of wood are you using and have you tried a different batch of wood?

    Water Pan

    Hi All- I already have the 22.5" WSM and found an amazing deal on Craig's List for an 18.5" WSM for $25! Needless to say, I sped over there to pick it up! It needs new grates and a new water pan. I've called all of my local stores here in KC and they are out of the 18.5" water pan and I'm...

    Pork Butt - To Pull or Not To Pull?

    Pull then freeze. There are two main concerns in freezing a whole butt. (1) Your temps may not get from the hot safe range to the cold safe range fast enough, which can cause bacteria to grow and people to get sick. The butt is large enough that it will retain the internal heat for quite some...

    Brisket slicing question

    Agreed, the Forschner 14" is amazing. I found mine on Amazon for around $40 and it's well worth the investment.

    First time two butts. Does cooking time change?

    Cook it as if you were cooking one and you'll be fine. Might use more charcoal but that's about it.

    Chicken thighs - skin dilemma!!!

    Everyone above has some great suggestions. During last years competition season, we de-boned and scrapped the fat off the skin. Man was that a lot of work! After doing this a couple of times, I realized although the result was good, it was not worth the effort. Now, before cooking, I pull...

    Ribs

    I'm trying out my ribs for competition and I'm super happy with the results. My wife doesn't even like ribs (or so she said) and loved these! I even smoked a salmon steak for her and she didn't even touch that. http://i835.photobucket.com/al...mbeetle/IMG_1578.jpg...

    Cajun Bandit vs. WSM Door

    I agree that the CB door looks a whole lot better. I didn't know if there were any cooking benefits to the CB door than the WSM. thanks for posting.

    Brussels Sprouts

    So I've been watching Lampe, Larry, Wolgast and a number of others cook up some brussels sprouts and I just have to try them. Can you give me some ideas on how to cook them? The last time I had brussels sprouts, my parents made us eat them and my sister got sick all over the dinner table...

    Cajun Bandit vs. WSM Door

    I know the WSM doors are a little flimsy and people state that the Cajun Bandit's door is much more solid. For those of you that have purchased the Cajun Bandit door, please give me your feedback. Is it worth it? does it make a difference? Thanks.

    22.5" WSM is on it's way

    I picked up a "new to me" performer and use that as my side table for my WSM lid. Works great for me!
