I'm looking for an easy way to organize all of the various recipes I have found on this site and others. Does anyone have any recomendations for an easy to use cookbook program. I'm looking for something that I can import recipes into and make modifications and notes about each recipe used. I...

Amen, Don

Rocky, Glad to hear that you got your WSM's on the way. A friend of mine ordered his thru True Value and recieved them in a week. As for scrubbing down the interior of your WSM, I don't. I just clean the cooking grids and hose down the dome to remove any loose residue.(creosote from the smoke I...

Rocky, Truevalue.com has the WSM. If you enter the promotion code true15, they will cost $161.10 each. This price includes shipping. IMHO I don't think that you will find anything much lower than that. Good Luck, Don

Rocky, Keep watching the True Value site. When the run out they take them off of their list, but as soon as they get more they put them on again. My friend just got one from last week for around $160. Don

I would like to add several useful bbq books to my cookbook collection. Any recomendations on some "can't live without" titles. At present I only have one bbq book, "Barbecue America". It's ok, but really seems to be more of a coffee table book than a useful reference. Thanks, Don

Derek, I have to agree with John, I don't use any sauce while cooking. I mix up some KC Masterpiece with a little mesquite honey and put it on the side for anyone who insists on sauce. Usually I find most people go without the sauce after they taste the ribs. Of course if you are doing a pork...

I have mounted a thermometer just below the top grill using a method I saw posted here earlier. I removed the top screw from one of the grill support brackets and replaced it with a 1" long hollow aluminum spacer held in place with small push on clips. I can insert either my Nu-Temp or Weber...

Apparently many of the sources for the WSM have dried up, but truevalue.com says they have them and can ship within 24 hrs. The price is $179, but by using the promo code true15 you can get 15% off. This puts the price right about $152 plus shipping. Good Luck, Don

I've had really good luck using the rule of halves. When I turn the meat is when I spray on the mop (usually apple juice and beer, half and half). If I'm cooking for 6 hours the first turn and spray is at three hours into the cook. The next at 4 1/2 hours, etc. This seems to work well as the rub...

If anyone is looking for a charcoal grill and can deal with a yellow kettle, Amazon is selling The 10th anniversary Simpsons Weber kettle for $89.99. This is a 22 1/2" "gold" model with the ash catcher. Don

I've paid anywhere from $1.39 to $1.89. Doesn't seem to matter if they are boneless or not as far as price goes. Personally I prefer the bone in type because they are easier to manage on the smoker. However around here it is hard to find many places that carry pork butts of any size, mostly in...

I too have a gas grill that died last year and I don't miss it one bit. If I'm grilling for just a few people I have a Weber Smokey Joe that's just right and it doesn't use much charcoal. I think that probably it is just as quick to use and clean up as the old gasser and there are no flare ups...

I'm curious, how do you keep from over doing the smoke when you use a Traeger? The one I saw in operation was smoking constantly for the whole cook. I did not try anything that was cooked on it, so I don't really know how the meat tasted smoke wise. Don

I received my fall catalog from Cabela's and they sell several sizes of marinating canisters(2 1/2, 6 and 8 qt) for the Foodsaver vacuum unit. The prices range from 24.99 to 39.99 and they are also available at Cabelas.com. I would think that with the 8 qt unit you could do some fairly large...

The brisket was great. Everyone liked it and unfortunately it disappeared way to fast. Very moist for the most part. It was smoked with a combination of pecan and cherry wood. I cobbled a recipe together from three recipes; 2 TBSP's each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper; 1 TBSP...

Started a brisket up at 9:30 last night, just pulled it off and wrapped it in foil and put it in a cooler for a picnic lunch. Looks and smells great. Hope it tastes as good. I used the Minion Method and it seemed to work pretty well except the I had to add a few briquettes towards the 10 hour...

I don't think you're being anal, after all you just spent $180 on a smoker and you want it right. But I know how you feel, can't wait to fire it up and smell and taste the wonderful bbq. Good luck and may you have many happy hours playing with the new toy and savoring the wonderful meat that can...

Has anyone used the the BRITU recipe on butt roasts? I've really like the flavor of the rub on baby backs, but I'm not sure how it will come out on a roast. Seems like it should be OK, but if anyone has tried it let me know how they it came out. I tried the mustard slathered roast and it was Ok...

Bad news, there are no more WSM's at said site. I'm really disappointed, was hoping to pick up number 2. I guess I'll check back from time to time to see if they get any more. Don
