the slot mod IS the way to go, with an angle grinder its like a 15 min job IF you cover the inside with engine block paint. If not, 2min tops. And from personal experience angle grinder >>>>>>>>> dremel but wear eye protection it does get Sparky.

Aren't those all in color? I thought the conventional wisdom was monotone was better. Plus the paper towel/oil left a lot ash and because it burned longer it was more "flamey". I never used Pam but just newspaper the bottom coals would light and slowly spread up. With the paper towel it was...

Previously I had always used newspaper as a starter for my chimney. Woke up around 4 to set up the wsm, could not find any ( I suspect it all went to recycling). Debated a store run to get a paper but tried the paper towel with a little oil ( olive and canola mix). I suspect this is like a...

Yeah I was not so sure after the last cook. If I had not bought two racks ( because they were on sale and I'm cheap) its likely I would have not tried them again this year, but like I said smoke em if you got em. I think these ribs have restored my faith in ribs, or at least convinced me...

On labor day I did ribs that were way overcooked, so much that I convinced myself that I really didnt "like" ribs much anymore. But I had another rack so it was literally smoke them if you got em. This time I cut the spares St-louis style and added a rub that was somewhere between TBRITU and...

They look great, just to make sure you smoked the Memphis style for 1.5 hours then foiled for three hours?

Yeah I know, and I suspect that had I intended to go 2.5 hours in foil I probably would have though something else was the problem. But since this was the biggest difference between what I wanted to do and what ended up happening, its the easiest scapegoat for how things turned out, even if its...

The ribs problem was not that they were dry, they were pretty moist, they had a good bark and the rub was really good tasting. The problem was they were way overcooked, just cutting them the bones slid out. Thinking about them and the bones slid out. The Mac and cheese, however, was...

Hey no problem, a bad day on the smoker is better than a good day at work. If things had gone south from the get go I would have adjusted my expectations, but it looked great till the foil.

Frank, Three hours on the smoke ( I did not mention it but those chunks were apple), 2 and a half hours in foil ( which should have been less than 2) at no higher than 250. One thing is that I have not calibrated my maverick as I just got it but I think that the over doneness is...

Well with labor day here I figured I try some ribs. This was really opportune time as I just did the notch mod and the nice mailman delivered my maverick et732. Picked up two slabs of st Louis from Kroger, yes they were enhanced but they were on sale. Here they are with the membranes off (...

sorry if this has been answered before but the sweepers on my OTS are still good, can I just add the ash catcher ( part number 63093) without having to replace the sweeper ? Thanks,

I think these were the ones that were on sale at Walmart last memorial day which were the best $/pound. I still have at least one left. I went to my local walmart expecting to see pallets of shrink wrapped kingsford only to find none and the cost was pretty high. I'm envious of the $ 9.88...

The Lowes price was live ( 12.99) the home depot was not yet so I tried to get HD to price match the Lowes plus the 10%. ( about 11.70). They said the best they would do is match, but a guy on the floor told them to ring it up at the HD sale price so I ended up with 200lbs at 12.88 per 40lbs...

Good with room for improvement. For reasons I don't fully understand the on the fly cooks seem to be better than the planned ones, likely due to lower expectations. Looking forward to this weekend.

I've been sampling them for a little while now, they are still all over the place. This is my problem, if I try pulled pork or ribs I know immediately if they are to my liking or not. With the ABT's, the first one is no indication if the next one will be good bad or indifferent.

I did. In fact I went to great lengths to scrape out all of the seeds and the membranes. Even so individual 1/2 peppers were ALL over the place, some with the great smoky slow burn, some had no heat and some were insanely hot. I know the truism the smaller the pepper, the hotter it is but...

I'm okay with capscasin but the first time I made abt's they were all over the place, the first one I had was really good, the second was really bland and the third was insanely hot. In all cases the cream cheese and the bacon were good and consistent. But when people ask if ant's are spicy or...

Actually today the pork loin was even better, sliced what was left as thin as I could, warmed up in oven then loaded fresh roll, spicy mustard, pork, some guy fieri kc sauce ( all I had in fridge) topped with my best guess at Neely's sweet and spicy slaw from memory. It was better today than...

Cut them in half ( or quarters if big), coat with olive oil, S&P and Tony's then grill them ( cut side down). Move them around after you get good grill marks then onto a cookie sheet with foil and a little oil, into oven 375 for about 30 min. Take them out, let cool a little cut each potato...
