Each year my wife prepares a turkey dinner for her students and their parents. Her preparation involves me smoking two turkeys for her. ;) Last evening was the annual session. On Monday I purchased two Walmart specials (enhanced for $0.88/lb. . . . these were 14-pounders). I spent the day...

Autumn arrived this weekend. The crisp morning air piqued my interest in firing up the WSM. On Saturday I smoked a chuck roast and a fatty. My wife likes a fatty for breakfast. This one was simple enough (sage sausage, sauteed red bell pepper and mushrooms, shredded cheddar, and a drizzle of...

I am in NJ and leave all my grills outside all year. If not, how would I use them? :) When it rains heavily I drain the bowls as others have mentioned, the covers are not waterproof.

Chris, it looks like the migration to the new forum has been successful. Thank you for all your exertions to improve the site. Enjoying life here in South Jersey. Getting ready to smoke some ABTs soon. :)

Apple and hickory. I used Bryan's Apple-honey brine.

Today is the decade anniversary of my father's passing. Mom is in town for an event so I took the day off. Here's dinner: Last evening was this wonderful ribeye:

A few years ago my POC gasser was failing. I went to HD to buy replacement parts. As I added up the expense of what was in the cart, I realized I could purchase a charcoal grill. I trashed the gasser and am now up to three charcoal grills not counting the smoker.

Lid on, although I suppose there is nothing keeping one from leaving the lid off. I keep thinking of doing tri-tip that way.

Lighter fluid. It'll torch that chimney in no time. Yeah, okay. I just put the chimney on the Performer and turn on the gas for a couple minutes. It seems to speed things up for me. It'll still take a few minutes.

Purchase some semolina (or cornmeal). Sprinkle some onto the peel. Lay the dough on the peel, then assemble the 'za. When you are ready to transfer from the peel to the stone, shake the peel. If you haven't put too much onto the dough, the 'za will slide off easily.

We have been eating a lot more fish of late. Nothing beats cedar plank salmon. I've also plopped other fish on cedar planks. All has been fine. It seems to me, however, there has to be other ways of grilling/smoking fish. I found this thread about smoking cod on the WSM. I have a fresh...

In 2007 I began thinking I wanted to get into smoking. But I get into a lot of hobbies. I made myself wait a year before I bought anything. In that year, I began reading many sites about barbecue. As 2008 came, I began to really do my research for what smoker to buy. On the sites I was...

I have been helping my visiting sister with some smoking tips this week. I thought I would take her through some of Wiviott's 5 Easy Lessons. I referred to some of my notes regarding his chicken lessons. The gist of them was that I enjoyed the taste of the Mojo Criollo and the juiciness of...

When I first joined here I searched for this very thing. I saw recommendations for Maine Grilling Woods. I have ordered from there several times and have been happy. http://www.mainegrillingwoods.com/

This is where my total lack of mechanical skills are shown. I would have not come up with that set-up. Nice job. The birds look wonderful.

My burgers are done similarly to the OP. I use 80/20. Since we got our kitchen scale, I determine patties are 5+ ounces, usually. When I form the patty, I add a pat of butter to the center. I try to handle the meat as little as possible. Flatten the patty to be even thickness (no...

That second shot is the money shot. Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
