Kevin - you've been a hero ever since I showed up on the board a couple of years ago - now more so than ever. Thank you so very much! Pat

Kevin - absolutely! Thank you! I plan to use brisket flats (about 8 lbs each) that I will smoke this weekend. The chili cook is on Tuesday. Thank you so much. Pat

Kevin - you are wonderful! Thank you very much. The first recipe looks fantastic, and I think I can get the correct chile's even in the virtual chile waste land that is Central Alabama. If you don't mind helping with the scaling, I would really appreciate it. Thank you again, so very much! Pat

Kevin - I am planning to use brisket. I'll smoke it beforehand then incorporate it into the chili. Thank you, Pat

Folks - I have an engagement to cook chili for our company's fall cookout later in the month and I want to smoke a couple of briskets to use in the chili. I need to be able to scale the recipe from 50 - 150 folks depending on the number of folks who RSVP. Can somebody help a brother out with...

My daughters are 21 (next week) and 16. I spent hours upon hours traveling to and from softball and volleyball practice and tournaments with the older daughter from ages 12 - 16. Those were the greatest hours of my life. 16 year old and I are enjoying a similar experience with her music events...

What's the date Robert? I may be judging. If not, I may cook with some friends, if they are going to be there. Pat

Very cool.....

Rob - I recently got a bunch of the 2 1/2 doz egg crates - I do the same thing you did, except I cut the egg cartons with the lighter cubes apart and burn the egg carton (they are not the plastic ones) along with the saw dust and paraffin. Before I got the egg carton supply, I bought a cupcake...

George - did they ever do anything for your Q220 lid? The bottom bowl of my Q220 recently had a paint chip flake off on the front of the bowl. I called Weber but it was out of warranty. I did buy a new lower bowl and the rep gave me a discount on it so that it cost about $30. I'll hit the flake...

Sometimes, improvements, are not......

Wow! Great deal! Is that the new insert system on the grill grate? That alone is over $75! Pat

For those of you guys with Android phones - and probably iPhones - there is an app called CraigsNotify that allows you to specify key words (Weber, Primo, Big Green Egg, etc) and the Craigslist markets you want to search and the app polls CL every few minutes and notifies you with an icon in the...

Ron, one thing you could do is take some of those 9x9 Styrofoam leftover trays with you and if you see you are going to have excess pork, you can start selling it by the pound near the end of the event. Pat

There is an excellent catering calculator in MS Excel format floating around the internet. I've used it several times and it tends to be right on. For 230 people, I would cook two cases, plus 2 butts, or 18 butts. 60-80 lbs is about a case, which, rule of thumb is (I believe) will feed 100...

I like it. Using the bricks not only has the effect of tempering the heat on the stone, but also of raising the cooking surface higher into the dome of the kettle, where the temperatures are hotter, making for some excellent melting and browning of the toppings. I've been doing Pizza on my...

That burst of air coming into the smoker likely caused the skyrocketing temperatures. Next try, open the smoker, get the ribs off, and put the top back on - don't leave it off while you do the foiling. Also, many of us have found that 2 hours in the foil is way too long. I usually foil the ribs...

Willie - you could get one of the deep fryer thermometers - not for the thermometer (although I have used those in a pinch) but for the v-clip that is used to hold it in place. You could put the probe through a lid vent as Kevin suggests and use the v-clip from the deep-fry thermometer to hold...

Jack - my two Genesis gassers have side controls so I can't comment on the difference. I will say that my Vermont Castings gasser - a nice grill that I picked up cheap from CL - has front controls and vertical burners but I really can't tell that much difference in the way the two grills cook...

And Weber has the lid holder - I just bought one about two months ago. The cleaning system replacement is about $10 - just get it from Weber when you get the lid holder. They'll help you get the right part numbers. You may have to use a Dremel cut-off wheel to cut the sweeper handle off of the...
