David, Sounds good. I typically run my WSM at 220-230 so it probably would take me a little longer to reach a 200 internal temp, which is why I start at night, get a few hours of sleep, foil the brisket, put it back in the WSM and go back to sleep. The smaller briskets I have cooked are done...

David, I have tried several small brisket flats (3 to 4 lbs.) over the years and sometimes they are great and other times they will dry out. Even though they are small in poundage they still require an overnight cook before they are done and that long cook time can dry them out. I recently tried...

I am providing bbq for a party this Saturday and have 20lbs of my smoked PB which is in the freezer in vacuum sealed bags with each bag containing about 1 pound of bbq. If I thaw all of the bbq but do not use it all, can those unopened bags, which will be on ice in a cooler, be re-frozen for...

I get my hickory chunks from Wal Mart. They usually carry two different brands here. I found the one in the green color plastic bag that I believe is called Ozark Hickory has the most noticeable and distinct hickory smell. Being sold at Wal Mart means it is priced cheap, but I cannot recall...

Lisa, I typically purchase my pork shoulders in Cryovac packaging from Costco. Two to a pack, 5-6 lbs. each. They are boneless so I tie them up to give them some uniform shape and to keep loose ends from falling through the grill grates. I do not trim away any of the existing fat cap. The butts...

Already have pulled pork leftover in the freezer from a big smoke I did weekend before last. 10 lbs. of the BBQ went to my future in-laws for a party they were having, the other 10 lbs. stayed with us to enjoy on the 4th. Even with those great "leftovers", I might have to add some baby backs and...

Jerry, A candy thermometer available at any grocery, Wal Mart, hardware or cooking supply store works just fine. I have a Taylor candy thermometer which like all similar candy thermometers comes with a metal clip and when you pinch down on the clip it fits nicely into one of the holes in the top...

Thanks for the info.

As the pulled pork I prepare on the WSM is tasted by more and more people, I am asked more and more to bring my BBQ to small gatherings and parties. Don't mind doing that if I have the time, but the groups I am asked to feed keep getting larger so I wanted some advice from those on this site...

Tried the Roadside Chicken this past week. Used some cut up chicken (split breasts and wings) and kept the pieces in the marinade for about 2 hours. Great flavor and the flareups while basting added some nice grill marks and crispness to the skin. Cooked it on my Weber gas grill. Excellent...

Cooked a 16-plus pound turkey on Thanksgiving using the Minion method for the charcoal and starting with the botton vents full open. All went well considering the outside temp that day never made it above zero. I did not wrap the WSM with any heat shield or insulating material, just let the WSM...

1. Pan-Sauteed Halibut with Fresh Tomatoes & Basil 1 pound fresh halibut, cut into 4 4-ounces pieces Seafood Breader (I use House of Autry) 2 cups diced fresh tomatoes 1/3- 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped 1/4 cup white wine or Vermouth (optional) 2-3 tablespoons capers, drained (optional) Salt...

Tied, just to make sure I have room for both PBs on the same rack, also to keep loose ends of meat from falling through the grate or hanging off the edge. I put Southern Succor Rub on all available surfaces before I tie and they cook up fine with no discoloration for those unexposed areas.

Biff: Living in Alaska for the past 15 years we have eaten a lot of fresh halibut and salmon, and I will say that while we love smoked salmon and enjoy it year round, my wife and I have never found smoked halibut as appealing. The fish itself is so mild it typically is overpowered by the...

The source for my wood chunks has typically been Wal-Mart because they are the only store in town that always carries hickory chunks instead of just chips. The brand Wal-Mart had last year or at least the source of the hickory for that brand seemed to produce a more intense hickory aroma than...

Bob, I doubt anything washing off a bbq grill could be worse than the oil, grease and roadkill from the car. Tom

I have taken grills to one of those self service car washes before that have the power washing wands, put in a couple of quarters and blasted the grills with the hot water soapy spray. You may have to follow up with some detail scrubbing while the grills are wet. I am sure it would also work for...

Pete, Nope, won't happen, it's a scientific fact that you cannot pick up just one item at Sam's, Costco, etc. Just like with these potato chips I am having with lunch right now, you think I am going to eat just one...not. Tom

with Labor Day, college and pro football season right around the corner. Might as well get the trash talk started. Will it be the butts vs. the briskets or the ribs vs. the chickens. Stopped by Costco today to pick up a few household items, got the bbq fever being around all that meat and walked...
