Terve Antti Are you grilling or smoking? The basic ways of controlling the temperature are with the amount of charcoal burning, and with the amount of air. When I used to do longer smokes on the OTG I used to use a mini Minion method, and for shorter smokes (like for fish) I use a fully lit...

Shouldn't you store it in the back of your car/truck/rv -Mark.

I made my own smoker jacket for my 18.5" WSM. I've done a lot of smoking on my OTG, mostly using the fire brick method, and I know how little fuel it uses. I wouldn't bother making a jacket for smoking on the OTG just because the WSM+jacket is already so efficient and is much better as a...

The specs in the Q FAQ should enable you to identify which gas Q you're looking at. You can read about people getting crazy deals on Qs at yard sales and off CL but, at the end of the day, a fair price is what you're happy to pay and the seller's happy to accept. -Mark.

I do salmon at least once a week, and I've never been a fan of brining - I find that it makes the fish too flaky and dry. I prefer to just use really fresh fish, rub with a little olive oil and sprinkle with salt and fresh dill, and smoke straight away. The oil improves the colour and texture of...

I use Weber starter cubes, but Ive had my eye on these as well because they're quite cheap: -Mark.

Hoorah! Something from Weber that's cheaper in Europe. They're about 2.5 Euros (including 22% tax) for 24 here, which is about $3 excluding tax. -Mark.

It's been really cold around here lately - Not too cold to grill, but too cold to want to clean my grill. Recently when it was a little warmer (around zero degrees C) I cleaned my Q320 with a hard plastic spatula, and this is what I got out. Sorry it isn't the usual kind of food pic It only...

I wasn't serious about the horse recipes forum. Here's an interesting Louis Theroux documentary about big game hunting tourism in South Africa. The Strange And The Dangerous 5 Of 5 - African Hunting Holiday (1/6) You can hunt and eat anything if you pay enough. I wouldn't have any quarms...

I just updated the table in the original post to include pictures and BTU/square inch. It's excellent to hear that the table will be useful. I make tables for everything. When I had to choose a company car I made a table to compare 600 models If there's any interest I could do the same for...

I think we need a Horse Recipes forum -Mark.

Wow. That's a bit different to Rainforest Cafe -Mark.

I've been thinking about doing a brisket, but horse is so lean that I'm worried that it might turn out too dry - I've got a big moose butt in the freezer, and I'm just wondering what to do with it because it's got zero fat on it. -Mark.

I like horses, but I couldn't eat a whole one -Mark.

I had an equine meal tonight - My local butcher often has horse meat, so I bought a piece of sirloin to try. I've eaten horse meat plenty of times in salami and sausage (and a lot of people have probably done the same without realising) but I don't recall eating horse steak. The meat looked very...

Table updated. -Mark.

I made my own smoker jacket and I still can't get over how little charcoal I use now. For my last smoke it was -25C and windy, and I started with 1/2 a ring of charcoal and most of it was still there after 15 hours. The jacket didn't cost much to make, and it paid for it's self pretty quickly...

I had a similar problem with a couple of the vents on my WSM. I tried tightening the rivets as described in parts troubleshooting and by George but, although I was very careful, it ended up making the problem worse. The parts of the charcoal bowl which the rivets pass through are each in the...

Thanks, Jon. I agree with you - The same thing occurred to me just after I posted. I'll update the table. -Mark.

Note from Moderator 1/30/2018: The link to the original table created by Mark R-S broke, so I created a new table to replace it. Feel free to save the image to your device or computer so you can view it full size. Note from Moderator 1/18/2020: Added "Dimensions - Lid Closed, Tables In" where...
