Jim, Enough salt to float an egg is what my father and I have been using for years for turkey and salmon brines. It seems to work well and I don't recall ever measuring the salt other than floating a raw egg. Don

Mr. Squeaky, You can order new probes for your Nu-Temp at www.NU-TEMP.com. The probes are $9.95 each and they are model specific. I believe the model sold at Costco was model 701. Don

My wife is from the Philippines and we travel there about once a year. Next time we go I'm taking a Weber kettle with me as pork, chicken and fish are available in abundance, and lump charcoal is available everywhere, but I have no idea of what kind of wood to use for smoking. None of the...

I received my new undented fire bowl for my Simpson special today. Thank you Weber. The new part was packaged way better than the original. All I can say is I wish I didn't need their customer service, but they are the best when you do need them. Thanks again Weber. Don

I recieved my new Weber gold kettle today that I ordered from Amazon. Somewhere along the line it tangled with some other cargo and punched a hole in the side of the box and dented the fire bowl and chipped the porcelin badly. I gave Weber a call and told them what had happened and the are...

I've got to agree with you, since I've got the Brinkman pan I have not used the Weber pan once. It seems like it is just an accident waiting to happen. This is one of the things that bugs me about Weber, they could make just a few little changes to the WSM that would cost them next to nothing to...

I have been browsing the various shopping sites for the WSM and I see WalMart.com has them for $158.97 and they say they can ship in 1 to 2 days. Seems like a pretty good price, but I didn't check their shipping costs. So if you are in the market for a new WSM you might want to check their site. Don

I've only smoked one turkey on the WSM,but I've done many on my Little Chief electric smoker. On the electric smoker I always have the store cut the turkey in half from stem to stern as the temps are fairly low and I don't want salmonella and the smoke seems to penetrate the meat more. My...

Pat, I cooked a rack of pork on Christmas day (which I believe is a pork loin with rib bones), I cooked it at 325*F for a little over 2 hours (it weighed 5 lbs.)with no water in the pan until it had an internal temp of 160*F. It came out moist and flavorful. I recieved no complaints and had no...

I bought a rack of pork at my local warehouse store yesterday. I think any of the normal rubs for pork will work. Any ideas on this? It's not as thick as most butts, so I'm thinking about 6 hours at about 230*. Does that sound about right? This thing weighs about 6 lbs. Thanks in advance. Don

My Costco also has them for $19.98. Last summer they were $10 more. So I bought 2 more for spares. Can't have too many toys can you? Don

Roy, Another web site you can try for worcestershire powder and most any thing else. american spice company Don

Just yesterday Emeril did a thing on salmon and he also wrapped the salmon with its bbq sauce in saran wrap and placed weights on it. I didn't see the whole show so I am not sure why the weights. I guess I should do less surfing and more watching. Don

I was at the local Costco on Sunday and the baby backs were priced at $2.99/lb. This is $1 less than they were all summer long, so I stocked up. These are cryopacs and should be okay for quite a while in the freezer. I also tried to get some chicken wings but was told that they only carry them...

Rita, I don't know how big the hole is in your lid, but I use a Nu- Temp digital remote that goes thru a hole about 1/8" dia. It's accurate to about 2 degrees and I can check the temp from the comfort of my recliner . I think that the stem or probe shouldn't be too long or it could give same...

Dear Webb, I agree that a little smoke applied over 12 or 14 hours may be too much, however how long do you think 5 or 6 fist size pieces of wood (at most)is going to last? In my experiance the wood is done putting out any appreciable amounts of smoke after about 2 to 3 hours, and if it's...

Gary, I don't know what kind of flavor you'll get from crabapple, but I've been told that just about any tree that bears nuts or fruit is ok for BBQ. I've also been told that all apples can trace their lineage back to crabapple. So I'd give it a try if it was me. Maybe on a small scale at first...

This morning as I was firing up my WSM I used my Smokey Joe to hold the chimney. I set the lid aside unaware of the revelation I was about to have. As the charcoal was ashing over I disassembled the WSM and placed the water pan next to the Smokey Joe lid. I put the WSM back together after adding...

Rita, If you would like a nice change of pace with your smoked salmon, after the fish is smoked, crumble some of it up and use it in your favorite tuna salad recipe in place of the tuna. This seems to work well even if the fish has been in the freezer a little too long. It makes a great...

Thanks for the information. I was able to find a copy of MasterCook 6.0 at a local discount store. Last one they had. As it was only $13 I guess if it helps even a little bit it will be worth it. Thanks again. Don
