Good thawing advice and food safety stuff. Rich, are you a raw bacon fan, too? LOVE the stuff...! (Guilty pleasure)

I tend to anticipate the need for fresh coals and dump a chimney of unlit on top of the charcoal ring (I tilt the charcoal door like a chute and slide them in). But, like you, if the temp has somehow fallen and can't get up, I've been known to add a few lit coals to the mix and temporarily...

I've gone over the the fat side down camp and haven't looked back...!

Dale, my beasties scamper around the ground looking shiny and terrifying, but I'm sure they're friendly. Darrell, what a great day for Q-ing! But the WSM is humming along and the butts are looking great. Guess I'll toss those nasty ribs on. I'm making some baked beans and had 'em JUST...

Butts are on! Slathered with mustard and rubbed with Fatz's pig powder plus turbinado sugar. Guru is on, hopefully in the good neighbor mode, which ideally will not be needed tonight anyhow, safely (we hope) tucked inside a baggie while the rain drizzles down upon it. Hope I'll sleep tight...

He still smokes! Since he wasn't able to during his 20 course meal at the French Laundry, the wacky chef (who absolutely astounds Bourdain) made him a dessert that contained Marlboro tobacco. I kinda' want to try it!

When I was a kid our school would sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts every friday or something after school, PLUS we had a local store that was close enough for field trips. Donuts were like a nickel apiece (or were they less? Maybe 2 cents!) Lord I sound old...! Back then they offered a chocolate...

That's all sooo very cool! Who knew? (Not me!)

That's so funny! I thought Les Halles (the DC one) belonged to this dude Michel who's always there. I try to be there for their midnight first pouring of the year's beaujolais, and they do a funny waiter's race on Bastille day. Love their hangar steak and frittes and their cigar friendly bar...

Aha, that guy! Isn't that the book that will make me not want to eat mussels in a restaurant? On edit: just saw his picture. I saw him last month at four or five in the morning on the food network, taking a bunch of chef's to san fran to eat at the French Laundry. And at Swan's Oyster Depot...

Who's Tony Bourdain?

I adore Paula Deen! On the other thread in Just Conversation (who would you like to hang out with) Paula is my numero uno! Why? Cuz she seems laid back and fat and happy and she has that great witchy cackle and her brother Bubba has that new oyster bar she's part owner of, and she hangs...

I looked there just in case, but no dice. Nor maverick,for that mattter. I've had a change of heart and decided to enlist the guru. Moved the whole shebang further from my neighbor's window, and if all goes well I'll be able to fire it up in 'good neighbor' mode later tonight anyhoo. Got a...

Hey, I like the sound of that, Kevin! I'd best go start that syrup so it can get done and cooled down. Maybe I'll use the guru tonight after all, since my maverick has pulled a disappearing act. Once life gets back to normal (was it ever normal?) I'll get organized and back in the swing, and...

That's a great idea! Altho somewhere on this very board I swear someone said they got some that tasted 'fishy.' Ewww.

Do 'em like 3-2-1, or just fling them on in disgust with some rub and ignore them?

Ground beef, ground pork, an egg, and some smashed up saltines. Well, I used ground venison instead of the ground beef, but it was the same idea. Oh, and maybe some Thai ketchup! (sriracha) or is that for the sauce?

The worst imaginable! I unearthed some Danish pork ribs (yes, those meatless wonders) in my freezer. I'm actually thinking of throwing them on just for the heckuvit. At least I'll get them out of my life. What say you? It gets worse and worse for this bbq! The good news is, I found the...

I feel the same way---I cringe every time he has to say an Italian word! Juan Carlos Cruz is just as bad with Mexican ingredients. BUT..I'd like to try Mario's pizza. He's got 'em at Whole Foods/Fresh Fields. I want to get one and grill it, just to see!

See how much ribs hate me? There weren't even any at the store! Curses.
