    Paper, plastic, or real plates?!?

    I think for us it usually depends on, first, how wet the food is - we means real plates; secondly, how many guests there are - the more the more likely is paper; and thirdly if we're siotting at the dining table or not - wife *never* has paper at the dr table.

    iGrill - returning it

    Well, sure there are a bunch. But what good is 200' if it has to be without walls! That's useless unless I'm just going over to my neighbour for a beer! :confused:

    iGrill - returning it

    I got an iGrill from my wife for my birthday. I really wanted one and she syrprosed me. OK, maybe it was the email saying I wanted one and giving a link to the website - can't be sure. BUT, it just doesn't work. I mean by that it doesn't have anything like the advertized range. I live in a...

    How to make a fatty?

    These are what guide me, and forgive my not having the urls. BBQ - Fatties Sausage "Fattie" A sausage "fattie" is nothing more than a 12-16 ounce roll of breakfast sausage cooked whole in the WSM. I use Jimmy Dean maple-flavored sausage because I like the sweetness, but any favorite brand...

    How do you pull your pork?

    I begin with bear paws which are especially nice when it's still hot. Once that's made the intital break up I put on my vinyl gloves and use my fingers to finish.

    Canadian Thanksgiving coming - what will be on the bbq?

    OK, so turns out the recipe is not really for sharing. But, I cn tell you the main ingredients are brown sugar, butter, and, the secret ingredient, Carnation condensed milk. Basically, that's all of them.

    Canadian Thanksgiving coming - what will be on the bbq?

    Thanksgiving, my Yankee friends, is a harvest festival. Not surprisingly, the harvest up north is earlier than in the south, ergo, Thanksgiving up here is earlier, in fact, the same as Columbus Day. As for the recipe, I'll ask my wife if it can be shared. I will tell you this much: She tried...

    Wood chunks. Combination or just one kind

    I'm a mixer as well. For ribs it's usually 2/3 hickory and 1/3 apple. For chicken all fruit, apple or cherry.

    Canadian Thanksgiving coming - what will be on the bbq?

    I'm afraid T day is out of my hands. My wife buys at 25 lb bird and makes the best turkey you ever tasted. There's tons of other stuff, but the capper is always authentic Quebec sugar pie the way her great-grandma made it. To be honest - I never complain! :o

    Hello from Ottawa

    Hi, to a fellow Canuck. Welcome, and chicken is always tricky just for the reason you mention. I smoke my chicken in the WSM, always thighs because no other parts have enough fat. But after they're done I put them skin side down on a low grill for 3 - 5 minutes to crisp the skin. Some folks put...

    Pork Butt Preparation - Trim Off Fat Layer Prior to Smoke?

    I think that 8 hours was not nearly enough. I usually go to closer to 16. Also, if you're wrapping it on then cooking longer, you'll not get your fat to become bark. The bark happens when the fat melts and the skin crisps. I never trim except for big chunks, and always end up with a fully 360*...

    cook time for a six butt cook?

    TB is right. I'd think in terms of 16 hours all in.

    Hello from Ontario

    Hey, Terry, welcome. Good board, eh? I live in Toronto forever, but back in the 70's I was in KW, hard by Guelph.

    Did I screw up? low and slow brisket question

    I that with butts and ribs there's often a plateau at 160ish that takes a while to break. Might be the same with briskets.

    Use of spices & sugar in smoked bacon

    Garlic. I smash four cloves of garlic for each of two slabs in a curing bag. Also, pepper and a hint of maple sugar. That's it.
