thanks for the suggestions, I ended up creating my own recipe as I saw dustin's recipe too late: 2lb ground beef (80/20) 1 egg, lightly beaten 1/4 cup milk 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese 2 tsp salt 2 tsp oregano 1 tsp black pepper smoked at 300 for 45 mins. the key was...

thanks chuck, those do look good, I should have specified that I'm looking to make an italian style of meatball

thanks all!

I'm with bob, my bbq guru is a godsend. And I'm convinced it's paid for itself as I use less charcoal (no water pan with the guru).

we're having our annual holiday party tomorrow, I figure I can alway convert chris' delicious meat loaf receipe into a meatball recipe but was wondering if anyone has a smoked meatball recipe?

Erik, if the bbq didn't taste of smoke, it probably wasn't smoked. I typically ask the server if the meat i'm interested in ordering has been smoked. Place around here may smoke brisket but chicken is done in the oven (or vice versa). to answer your question, if the food doesn't taste of smoke...

thanks for info robert, they do look great, will give it another try!

My wife has chosen an italian food theme for our holiday xmas party. I can smoke sausages but wpndering if anyone have any other suggestions?

robert, I usually cook wings indirect. Sometimes I'll sauce and crisp them for a minute over the charcoal. I bought a vortex, 3 cooks later and I can't discern a difference in my wings. What advantages are you seeing? thanks,

Hi Matt, congrats on your first cook! some thoughts: - I wouldn't heat water. the water there is there to prevent fast variations in temp, heating it may help you get up to temp faster but it's not going to help regulate temps any better. and there isn't enough benefit to balance cost/risk of...

hi chris, I know the "using a water pan in weber smokers..." article was written a while ago, do you still agree with this content: Water Keeps Meat Moist, Enhances Smoke Flavor And Smoke Ring As water in the pan boils, water vapor fills the cooking chamber and surrounds the meat. Some of this...

Carl, I made it with the skin, I'm sure it's delicious either way.

rich, sorry, no pics but it looked a lot like the nyt photo. It was really easy to make and as you know, it's tough to mess up pork shoulder. The caramelized brown sugar combined with the salt of the marinade is terrific. I didn't use oysters and the ginger scallion sauce was overwhelmed by the...

The NYT published this recipe from David Chang's beloved momofuku restaurant: http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/12197-momofukus-bo-ssam I followed the recipe but smoked the pork in the weber. The ssam sauce is an absolute must as is adding kimchee to lettuce wrap. If you can' t find a korean...

Thanks Nick! Our costco doesn't sell packers and brisket is pretty expensive here. I was thinking about using the kcbs membership at restaurant depot to see if that would lower my cost. I have a performer and a wsm, I'm thinking I'll find another wsm on craigslist and see how that works out.

I've retired and have been thinking about cooking in 6 contests a year. I can afford $1k per contest but it's a lot more than I expected (or want) to spend and I'm surprised the number is so high. My experience on my wsm is that the ribs, chicken and pork shoulder from BJs/Sams produces just as...

Hi Mike, I grew up in a fishing community on long island and I've fished off the jersey shore for striped bass and blues a bunch of times. Bluefish eaten the day it's caught is great but after a day or two, it gets pretty fishy. You can soak the fish in milk for a couple of hours to remove...

Lowest price I've ever seen for baby backs, doesn't seem to be a sale. Unfortunately, brisket flats are still > $5/lb and the local costco isn't much better.

sorry I missed this, I like to cook bb @225, usually done in 4-5 hours. The lower temp gives you a bigger window of opportunity to take them off the smoker at the right temp.

Hi Keri, hope this finds you well. I don't come by here much any more, mostly because I've learned enough from people like you to be self sufficient. Still, I try to swing by once in a while to answer questions in an effort to give back to the community. best,
