Well, my father-in-law swore by Sam's meat his entire life. I've never gotten bad meat there so can't complain. We used to carry a membership at both Sam's and Costco but since Sam's is in town and the nearest Costco is about 20 minutes away we let the Costco membership expire.

Ok, you're killing me. I couldn't find the recipe on the main page and a search brings up a bunch of threads talking about the recipe but no links to it. Can one of you nice people point me in the right direction? This really sounds like something I would like to try (and I happen to...

Pull and crockpot them (keeping in mind being a huge stew fan I live and die by my crockpot )?

I gave that a try and it leaked worse. I just wedged some foil at the top and it seems to be sealing better. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Clark "Harbormaster" Hodgson: Some...

Hi Dave, I'm doing my first smoke on the WSM right now. I just took a quick peek and don't see much smoke coming from around the lid. More from the door then I would like though. I might try some foil around the edge of the door to seal it off.

I'm in the same situation as Clark. I haven't made the BRITU rub yet and the rub I use on pork has worked out with both ribs and butt. It actually started as a rib rub and when I made a butt the first time I figured I'd give it a try. Given that, in making my plans for my first smoke in the...

I'm going to run with water a few times to get used to the unit. After that I'm planning on trying the Piedmont setup. <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by Jerry N.: Save yourself some...

I just this minute finished assembling the WSM. Ribs are this weekend's project. Note, the waterpan was slightly damaged around the edge in two places. Dented down to the bare metal. I'm going to call Weber tomorrow about a replacement. I had to think about it for a minute because I'm...

Found it. Never mind all.

Ok, my WSM is coming Monday from Amazon (UPS tracking number shows it as being in Chicago, yay). SWMBO picked up a cryovac of baby-backs at Sam's today. I keep seeing references to BRITU all over the site but a search isn't showing me the actual recipe. Can someone point me in the right...

Hmmm, my interest is peaked. You wouldn't happen to know where it might be sold in my area (lake county Illinois)... Naperville is a little too far for me to travel for beer, given the price of gas these days. Must be a sign of getting old. Well, Joe, it's funny you ask that. I'm the...

Well, I don't consider myself to be pretentious. I was weaned on Old Milwaukee and Schlitz (almost literally, I know the old man was giving me sips of beer at four years old and there's a family legend of me being drunk on wine in a public resturant at two years, ah being from an Irish...

I found that works for me too. The little guy had his first BBQ ribs (toned down of course) at about a year old. Good ol' Uncle Mike. We took a trip to North Carolina back in the the spring and hit a few BBQ joints. He loved to dip his fingers in the sauce. I don't know if it's the taste or...

Wonder Pets saved the tree? This is what I have to look forward to? My son is two and a huge "Little Einsteins" fan. I'm trying to steer him away from Elmo (not having luck with that one) and 'The Big Purple Dinosaur" is strictly verboten. On the plus side, he's taken to the computer I...

I do the same as Robert. Sam's is great for this. I like to pick up one of their bulk packs of chicken breasts and do this. Easier to keep away from the junk if I've got a bunch of healty food all ready to go. The added benefit is that I package it when I'm not hungry so I know how much...

Guess I'm boring... About all I drink these days is tea, mostly green tea. Real full-leaf tea, not that junk you get in tea bags. My current favorite is a variety called 'gunpowder' tea. It's got a slightly smoky flavor that mixes well with BBQ. I've found that it's great iced...

Well, all in all it turned out pretty good. Much better smoke-ring then I thought it would have. Very flavorful and tender. Of course the bark was more mushy then 'barky' but at least it's got the taste. I definately wouldn't want to duplicate the method but the results were much better...

Whew, that cooked fast. I ended up pulling it at about 90 minutes because the internal temp was already at about 155 and it felt done. I wrapped it and have been letting it sit. I'll slice it about a half hour before dinner and if it's running towards dry I'll throw it in the crockpot with...

Well, the veal brisket went on the kettle at 6am. The early hour gave me a chance to practice my "stealth BBQ" technique. I didn't want to wake either my family or the guy next door. Darn living in a townhouse. It's only a six pounder and seems to be an extremely lean cut of meat (the...

Guess I have to go against the grain here and say I've had good luck with ribs on my gasser. I haven't done a side by side comparison though. One thing I would like to say is that the design of the 'smoker box' that Weber sells for the Genesis is terrible. The box lays across the...
