    Did I screw up?

    Patrick You did not mention how much wood or what kind of wood you use. Neither Kingsford or Royal Oak should have left your butts with the bitter aftertaste. If your charcoal was wet or damp then the combination of damp charcoal and wood could have created a situation where you had incomplete...

    First Weber Smoke and some questions!

    Neil Hickory and Red Oak are strong smoke flavors, those that like farting smokerings after eating BBQ would love it. You may just want to cut back on wood and add a little more each cook until you find the smoke level you like. Jim

    Could Be Better

    Lenny Asking if over or cooked might not be the right question. If you want falling off the bone I would suggest brining and foiling after you get the color and smoke you want. Foiling will get the meat to falling off the bone and not allow it to dryout becuase falling off the bone is taking the...

    Standing rib roast question

    I would give the roast about 2 to 3 hours but it depends on the pit temps you use. Jim

    cedar planks

    Todd Exactly, when you are planking salmon the heat brings the oil in the wood to surface and it does effect flavor but when you burn it for smoke the stuff is toxic. You don't want family and guests cover in red bloches and having trouble breathing. Jim

    cedar planks

    Anyone that has worked with cedar understands that using the planks for smoke is not a bad idea, it is a dangerous idea. People have poisoned by just having to cut all day as part of the their job. Using it for smoke can cause your throat to close up, swelling of your eys and other problems...

    Need to heat spiral ham at work...

    They do dry up quickly so your plan should work. I plastic wrap with juice added and then foil, bring up the internal slowly (pit temp of 225 to 250). Would not want to take the internal on ham over 140. Jim

    Cash and Carry

    Dennis Cash and Carry select for brisket is the norm. You also have MJ Meats in Lynnwood, would need to buy by the case but call ahead and they will get you what you want. MJ's carries American Kobe from Snake River Farms (two brisket per case). Select and choice brisket come in higher case...

    Fat Removed Brisket?

    Brook The fat will not slow down the cook it is the connective tissue, it needs time to break down. To get a six hour cook you need higher pit temps and foil. Smoke for 2 to 3 hours and then in foil with some apple juice or ?.. Run the pit temp up to 300 maybe a little higher and keep a close...

    Why bother?

    How many people do you know that the food they eat is prepared by someone who has to do and finds it a chore (the meals taste like also). There is a reason we have the Food Network. Good food is an art, those do not get it may never get it. Jim

    Double Turkey

    I can't think of a reason it could not be done, put the smaller of the two turkeys on the grate. 350 should be a good pit temp. Jim
