If you don't use a drip pan, the drippings from the chicken (spatchcocked or beer can) will drip on to the flavorizers and vaporize, providing some additional "bbq" flavor. Give it a try. You can also wrap some smoking chips in foil or put them in a smoking box and put them where they will get...

I'm with Ron on the flavorizer bars. Don't replace them unless they really have gone bad. If you do need to replace them, I usually recommend getting Stainless Steel flavorizers. They're a bit pricey from Weber but you can get them for less on eBay. Of course if the ones you have have lasted...

Unless you have a calibrated monitor it would not be wise to match colors from a web page. Best to get actual samples of the colors. There are ways to make the squares bigger, but they won't be any closer to the actual colors.

Hi Dick, Welcome to TVWBB. Any smoke you can eat is a good smoke! That's the only feedback I'm going to provide. My main suggestion is to log our cooks so the next time you prepare to smoke something, you can review previous smokes and look for opportunities to improve. I think you covered...

Hi Jeff, I use a Maverick 73. On a recent smoke (of a turkey) I thought it was reading high so I checked using a small hand held digital therm. It read about 20 degrees lower so I finished my smoke using it instead of the Maverick. The next day - before I ordered a replacement probe for the...

I have a little black CDN that started reading about 20° F low and led me astray when cooking my Thanksgiving turkey. A new battery made no difference and it has no capability to calibrate. (*) I have a "Taylor 806E4L Weekend Warrior Waterproof Digital Thermometer" on my Christmas list (to...

I'm on the Keurig bandwagon. I've had to cut down and I'm presently at three cups/day. SWMBO will drink another cup or two through the day. Making a pot at a time just wasn't optimal. SWMBO surprised me with a Keurig brewer and I've never looked back. I had already been buying coffee by...

Thanks for the tips folks. I did another turkey yesterday so today I have a stock pot on the stove. I've striven to keep temps lower. At the moment it is not visibly bubbling and my probe reads 204° I can't skim while cooking because I barely cover the bones, skin etc. But skimming is easy...

Hi Edwin, That sounds like a good idea. I suppose that's a good use for a side burner on a gas grill. I do intend to give Kevin's recipe a try but we still have to work off a backlog of turkey. best, hank

Hi John, I wonder what damage have I done by boiling for longer periods of time. I don't use a rolling boil but I keep it hot enough to get a constant stream of bubbles. I add just enough water to cover and keep it going long enough so that everything pretty much falls apart. I also take a heavy...

Hi Jon, I thought of that when Rita mentioned "without having to freeze" and it did sound like a good way to prevent the soup from escaping during the process. Unfortunately it does not solve the problem for another application. When I go fishing we freeze our catch in Ziploc bags to which my...

Hi Rita, Thanks for the info. -hank

Can Foodsavers do soup or is it more or less just solid food?

Mine was done yesterday. It's not too lat to calibrate your thermometer. I highly recommend taking a moment to do that. I thought my ET-73 was reading high so I grabbed another and found it read lower so I used that to determine when to take the bird off. Well... guess what? I checked them...

I also recommend calibrating the thermometer before a big cook using boiling water. I was part way through mine yesterday and it seemed like my ET-73 was reading high. I grabbed a hand held instant reading thermometer and found it read lower so I used it to determine when to take the bird off. I...
