    Red Oak vs. Oak

    I have three different oak trees in my backyard; white, live and something else. When they shed a limb, they all go into my WSM. I can't tell the difference in any of them. In my humble opinion, oak works very well with beef products.

    Butts & Brisket Smoke

    This cooked turned out really well. It was done on site for a Cub Scout spring family camp out. I cooked two pork butts (8 lbs each), a full brisket (14 lbs), and 75 hot dogs. The only thing left over was 22 hot dogs (not cooked on the WSM). In addition I made a five bean forest service...

    Mine's better

    I seldom go to BBQ restauraunts anymore at all for the very same reason. I always leave either very disappointed or, best case, a little disappointed.

    Butts & Brisket Smoke

    Tomorrow night I will cook for the first time two butts and a 12 pound brisket on the WSM. I've never done both of these together so would not mind a few pointers. I plan on starting both at midnight tomorrow. Butts on top, brisket on the bottom fat side down. I will pull the brisket when it...

    Foodsaver ??

    The one Costco sells works great with very few misfires. I think it's a must when dealing with large amounts of leftover pork butts. I also use it when I do multiple chickens on the rotiserrie. We eat one and I debone the 2nd one and freeze it.

    Do you wash Cryovac meat before you cook it?

    When in doubt wash. And I always wash meat that was previously handled by people I don't know.

    Quick Chicken Skin Temperature Reference

    That's not creosote. Your experimenting with hi-tech, advanced jerky smoking techniques. It's an acquired taste.

    pullin' my pork

    I use the Bear Paws as well. With them it's amazing how quickly, and finely, I can shred a pork butt. Well worth the money. I had to etch my name in them after the last group cook I attended. They tried to walk away with a little help.

    Easter menu?

    I will be cooking a boneless leg of lamb on the Weber Rotisserie. I will supplement the lamb with roasted red potatoes, caesar salad, and fresh asparagus wrapped in prosciutto. I may cook the potatoes in a dutch oven. Not sure yet.

    marinating brisket

    For Easter I will marinade a boneless leg of lamb overnight in plane yogurt. Not for tenderness or flavor, but to draw out the gamy taste of the lamb.

    I don't understand...

    Yes I did Rita and I cooked it last Friday. It was beyond belief. Incredible recipe for something that I would have never considered doing on a charcoal grill had I not seen Jamies video. Thank you Rita, and more thanks to Jamie for posting that video!

    I don't understand...

    ....why your Video Library recipe's on Weber Nation are not posted on the site in the recipe folders. I get them on an email announcing the new video (which I love to watch), but if I don't save the email then the exact ingredients are lost. Thanks!

    American and european smoke wood

    Beech is wonderful. I use it all the time as do the germans. Keep an eye on those beech trees in the parks. They will shed a limb from time to time all on their on. Be the 1st to help keep your parks clean and take the limb home. I do that here with the local beech trees. After big storms...

    Manual crank meat slicers

    When I lived in Germany I rented a house that had a built in model. I used it once or twice. It worked well for small amounts. It had a heavy flywheel that helped it cut the meat effeciently.

    thermometers

    You will find this to be a sporting discussion. Many will do the job, but in my humble opinion the better mouse trap in this area has yet to be built. When it is built, I will buy two of them.

    New Weber Cookbook

    Late last summer I received an email from Weber asking if I would participate in a survey for a new Weber cookbook. I obliged and filled out the survey. About three months later they followed up with an additional survey. Again I obliged. A week ago they sent me a new copy of the cookbook...

    Cherry Wood

    A acquaintance of mine has come into a very large amount of ornamental cherry wood from a neighbor who lost the tree in a windstorm. Question: Is this cherry wood of the same quality of wood from a fruit bearing cherry tree for smoking purposes?
