    Spare Ribs vs. Baby Backs

    I always cooked back ribs. Last year after reading here on the forums about spares I had to try them. If I didn't have so much time in triming up the spares I would do them instead. I do the back ribs just for the ease. pull the membrane and rub.

    home depot hardwood charcoal briquettes, $3 for 20lbs

    Someone mentioned the ash when opening up the lid. I have had the same experience. When I pull up the lid within seconds a slow swirl of ash starts up. Hasn't bothered me at all. Another thing about the ash, this one is good. Rancher will burn longer with less tending. I started 6 butts and a...

    Looks like I may be going into the Q business

    Where I live if I get a new piece of equipment, I am not talking toasters here either, my local health dept would want to know about it and make a visit. I know if I was doing all my cooking inside then buy a smoker that I use outside they would want to make a visit. I have found them to be...

    home depot hardwood charcoal briquettes, $3 for 20lbs

    Paul $3.75 is a sale price. It is normally $4.99, which is still a great deal compared to K. The 24 bags I bought a week and a half ago at $3.75 is a killer deal. When it goes to $2.99 here I am getting some more. I may go get some more at the current price. I hate to run out too early. I burn...

    $10 for a bag of charcoal

    I am always on the lookout for a new brand of lump. Lasst year I went into a true value that I didn't even know was near me. They had a bag of lump. I don't remember the name. Naked wiz didn't have a review. The kicker was they wanted $12, it was a 10 # bag. I passed on that deal.

    home depot hardwood charcoal briquettes, $3 for 20lbs

    I went last night to check the price. It is still $3.75 here. Still 3/4 of a pallet on the floor. About the same as it was last week when I bought 24 bags. I am going to get at least that much again when it drops to $2.99.

    Butt 1.19

    I just bought a case of butts at sams about an hour ago. It is $1.19 a pound by the case. It was $1.68 by the double butt cryovac per pound. That case price has been in that area for the past month or so. The cryovac price is a bit higher than it has been for a while. It has been around $1.50...

    Rancher Charcoal on four butts

    If I were to guesstimate it I would say it produces about 2/3 the ash that K does. Oh by the way I went to HD about an hour ago to pick up a few more bags of Rancher. When I was there a few weeks ago I had to hunt down the rancher. I had 3 different CSR's tell me they don't have it anymore. I...

    Finally made chicken I liked

    I used 1 piece of oak, 2 pieces of cherry, and a piece of grapevine. The next time I make some wings I am going to try some JD pellets. I bet that will be good. One of the other reasons I don't make chiken often is worrying about being done. The first time I made the blazin wings I took the...

    I WANT TO OPEN MY OWN BBQ JOINT

    I second what Keri C said. There was an article in the local paper, I tried to find it online but it seems our paper doesn't offer that. Anyhow this guy sat up in a cvs pharmacy in a small rural town. People started coming from 40 miles away to eat his Q. In the article he just bought or leased...

I buy a big can of apple pie filling from GFS which is like 117 Oz, and use half of the can. All...

    chuck cook question please respond soon!

    I haven't ever seen a chuck roll that small. My first chuck roll was 24 pounds and took 24 hours. I have had 16 pounders go 22 hours. I see absolutely no reason why a 6 pounder would go 16 hours. Seeing the time you posted you have probobly already done something. The only thing I can think of...

    Butt and brisket by the case?

    I buy cases from sams and they have 4 cryovacs for 8 butts in a case. I don't know about brisket. I asked someone in the meat dept. about buying a case of packer briskets last week. He took my number but have yet to hear anything.

    How many slabs of ribs on your WSM

    I have done 12 on mine many times using racks. Definately a tight fit. I haven't done it stoggie's way. With the magnum too much isn't really much problem anymore. Wsm sits lonely in the corner. With that much meat I recomend only filling water pan half way. You can always add more if temps...

    Can someone check my schedule please? First major smoke this weekend...

    I agree reheated ribs may be better than what most have eaten. To me I preffer to not reheat them. Definately not the same. Butts on the other hand reheat well and no noticeable taste difference with it. I open a Q shack on the weekends and I always cook butts thursday night and take off...
