I never foil and find that they turn out great every time. I use water in the pan so I am not sure if that has an effect. When I caramelize the sauce over high heat I just use the top grate and place it directly over the coals. It works well, you just have to pay attention or the sauce will...

Yes, you foil the brisket and return it to the WSM. You may want to add some liquid to the foiled brisket. I normally pour about 1 cup of apple cider on the brisket. The liquid helps keep the brisket moist. Just be careful when you make your foil pouch because if it has any holes on the...

Sorry about not being clear. I was asking about the latter. One of my guys received oak smoked coffee beans today in the mail. He just has to grind them so that he can brew a cup of coffee. I was wondering if anyone has done something like that on the WSM. Lance

Has anyone ever tried to smoke and cook coffee beans on the WSM? I have oak, jack daniel's wood chips, and other woods. How much smoke do the beans need? How long does it take to cook the beans? Thanks. Lance

Bryan, That is very kind of you to offer. I will send you an email when the box arrives. Given the speed of the other packages, it should be her in no time. Lance

Pete, I may have a work around. The liquor shop on post may be able to order whatever I want. That is so frustrating. I know that in California you can order wine and have it shipped to your house. Thanks for the heads up.

I am trying to buy my wife some wine and she likes cabernet sauvignon. I am not a big wine drinker so I know next to nothing about wine. I will have to buy the wine using the internet and shipping to TN. Does anyone know a good online place to shop and what cabernet sauvignons would you...

In order to get the vitamins I would have to buy human vitamins and break them up in the feed. I don't know if that would be too much or too little. What do you have to do to transition from roughage to fee? I was thinking you could have the lambe eat grass and then after that feed it wheat...

Thanks for the offer. My sister just sent me some ground allspice and cinnamon. I read on the back of the container that you can use cardamom in coffee. Has anyone tried this? If so, how much cardamom do you use with the coffee grounds? Lance

Thanks for the heads up about naming the lamb. I won't make that mistake. I will probably have someone else fatten the lamb so I won't have a connection with it. After looking at the butcher's guide in the cooking topics section, I am probably going to cut the lamb into a few primal cuts and...

Kevin, I think that I will use the baharat rub once I get a lamb. Now I just have to get creative and find some of the ingredients. Clark, The pudding sounds great and my wife is going to send cornstarch to me so that I can try it. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Lance

Kevin, What exactly do you mean when you say finish the lamb? Is it fattening the lamb or cleaning out previous dietary influences? What type of knives do you need for butchering the lamb? I have some kitchen knives, a small cleaver, and a skinning knife. Is this sufficient? Thanks for...

I am pretty sure that I can obtain a lamb off the local economy but I have a couple of questions before I do. I want to get the lamb live so that I can feed it grain for a week so that I can flush out the junk it has been eating. Is this sufficient time to clean the lamb's system? I have a...

Bryan, I was able to purchase a coffee grinder at the PX. I was pleasantly surprised when I found it. Then again most Army guys are coffee fiends. The voltage over here is 220 but I have a 110 converter in my office where I do most of my barbecue prep. My sister just sent a bottle of...

Kevin, Thanks for the information. Do you know of a berbere or Middle Eastern rub that uses cardamom? It sounds like a flavor I would like to try. I will have to work on finding goat or lamb because I would have to procure it from a local. It is good to know that I haggled for a good...

I found 250 grams (8 oz.) of cardamom in the pod in a bazaar today. It cost about $6 after some haggling. I have a couple of questions. What do you use cardamom for and what flavor does it impart? Can I grind the pod or do I have to break the seeds out of every pod? Did I get a great deal...

Kevin, I tried this out last weekend on a half flat. My guys liked it but they were thrown off because they didn't get a big cocoa taste. I had to tell them that it is just one of the flavors in the rub and it is supposed to blend with the others. I can see how using different chiles...

Kevin, Thanks for the rub recipe. I will try to find cinnamon. Normally, when I don't have an ingredient, I just leave it out. I know that I lose the depth and complexity of the rub, however, I do not have a sophisticated palate. I choose not to because if I did it would make this army...

I am looking for a rub that uses cocoa powder. I saw one awhile ago in a recipe book but did not copy it. After seeing the recipe, I have been intrigued with the idea of a cocoa rub. I have seen the coffee-cocoa rub but I am not a fan of coffee and to further complicate the process I only...

The song Indifference by Pearl Jam helps me remember that you can get through anything with grit and determination. Life is hard but sometimes you have to be as hard as stone to get where you need to go. Lance
