I've had one for years now and don't know how I ever lived without it. Freezer-burn is a thing of the past.

Since the wife just let me buy the WSM I'm kind of grilled-out for a while. I'll keep the oil drum in mind though. I do have a friend that's pretty handy with a welder. Maybe next year if she lets me compete.... I didn't know they went back to '58 either. I just know we've always had...

Hmmmmm, fat WSM... Visualising a kettle bottom, mid-section a la WSM, with the top on. Man, if I could only weld.

A couple of years ago my brother-in-law did an experiment. In one day he made three turkeys; one deep-fried, one grilled on his gasser, and one "traditional" in the oven. The deep-fried was definately the best, the grilled after that. Oven cooked was a distant third. Hopefully my turkey...

Thanks Doug. Judging by the thread it doesn't look like it would hurt to brine it but I think I'll go with the self-basting recipe this time (we don't have a container big enough to brine in yet anyway). Herself has learned her lesson about buying pre-injected turkey (I showed her the...

The wife bought a turkey and has pretty much begged that I make it on the WSM this weekend. I'd like to make the recipe found here. The problem is that the turkey she bought is pre-injected and the brine recipe says to not use a pre-injected turkey. Is the reason for not using a...

Funny, just yesterday I let the wife talk me out of smoking a chuck roast. I ended up making it in the crock pot. Nine hours in the pot and it simply fell apart as I took it out. Much better then the last time I made it. Reading through this thread I wish I had smoked it though.

I'm dieting too. I don't get the chance to BBQ as much as I'd like because of time (although I grill lean meat as much as I can) so BBQ is more of my "cheat" day(s) every few weeks. I'm definately going to be smoking a salmon sometime before the weather gets too cold.

I do the same thing. My wife and I spent a week of our honeymoon in Ireland. Seeing as neither of us had ever driven on the other side of the road before we hired a driver for the week (suprisingly cheap, we ended up paying about the same as we would have paid if we had just rented a car)...

I paid about $14 at the local HD but that was before gas prices went crazy this summer. In fact gas prices were the reason I didn't get one refilled over the summer. I'll probably check them out this weekend because the wife has been hinting that it would be nice for me to fire up the grill...

I rotate between two tanks. I had both filled in May. Both are about empty from this summer's use (I haven't gotten around to pouring hot water on them to check).

Back in the day when my friends and I were single we would drive from Chicago to Denver once or twice a year. We always timed it so it was well into the night by the time we got past the Mississippi river and we didn't see daylight until we were in Colorado. I don't have much daylight...

Believe me, I thought of the bat several times. The way I figure, if the fine for shooting it is less then $500 I'd be coming out ahead. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Bob T...

Ug, racoons. I once had to pay $560 to remove a racoon that got caught in a trap we had set. We had a family of the darn things take up residence under our deck. "Animal control" around here will not touch any undomesticated animal unless it's a dead animal in the road (I thought that's what...

Agreeing with Jim and Larry here. 90% of the meat we buy gets frozen at one point or another before I get a chance to cook it. We vacuum pack all the meat when we get it home and throw it into the deep-freeze until a couple of days before we need it.

We had a Wal-Mart Supercenter open up about 15 minutes from the house. The wife and I just got back. I picked up a chuck roast, three pounds for about $9. They also had some full packer brisket, which I just looked at. I'll be smoking the chuck probably next weekend or the weekend after.

My wife has been buying the bulk packs (two big jars) of the regular peanut butter ever since we got married. For some unknown reason she bought a jar of the natural kind in the middle of me working my way through the regular stuff (had just opened the second jar). I tried the natural kind and...

Well, I did just smoke some very good bbs that I got from Sam's last weekend. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Dave H: Thanks everyone for your replies. Any thoughts on which...

Well, out of your list the only thing I refigerate is the yellow mustard. Like everyone else, it's how mom always did it. I do refrigerate my BBQ sauce and ketchup once they're open. On the other hand, I've worked in resturants where the ketchup was left out on the table all day and then...

Ahhh, thank you. That sounds really good. I've got everything onhand except for the meat so I'm going to show it to the wife and see if I can make it this weekend (we're both dieting, I'm doing my own thing but she's paying for weight watchers so has the final say).
