David, Going to agree with most here and highly recommend the Performer. I have the Performer with the ignition. I like others put the chimney on top of the lighter and burn it for 3-5 minutes then cut if off. Just as easy as a normal chimney start but no paper to deal with. This way you can...

I got a couple new lodge pans for Christmas. I decided to put a little more seasoning on them before using. The Weber cast iron insert has 8 coats. The 2 lodge pans are at 6. At 8 you get that nice black shine.

Just had my first goose island a couple weeks back, winter warmer I believe, and it was excellent. Hope it stays that way for the long run. AB's other partially owned craft brews (widmer, redhook, kona) aren't exactly my favorite.

Thanks Everyone. Ray, you aren't kidding. $2.29 / lb on 2x 80 lb cases down in south florida at rest depot. Was $1.89 last year. But their pork and beef was pretty cheap down there.

Beginnings of smoked meatloaf On the grill, prefer parchment but foil works. Didn't get finished shots. Leftovers served with mashed and cheese bread Every New Years I head down to a friends in south Florida and we end up throwing a big party for New Years Day bowl games. Well this year it...

Been cooking a lot lately, just haven't had time to posting anything. So here's a compilation, in no particular order. Cooked 10 butts for a local church and my own freezer. 35 lbs for the church Herb rubbed pork loin, half sliced thick for dinners the other a little thinner for sandwiches...

I dump mine into a large metal trashcan. I save my old empty charcoal bags. Every few weeks, after I haven't dumped anything into the trash can in awhile, I take my charcoal scoop (metal ice scoop, $9 @ RD) and fill up the bags and put them out for the trash. I also dump grease and used foil in...

I have trimmed at home and just used gallon zip locks. Chicken is the most time consuming so I always try to do it at home. I also keep the original label and throw it in the zip lock. I know in FBA they can ask for it, KCBS does not. However, I'd rather have it and not need it. Being under ice...

Mary, Pieces or party wings already cut into flats & drums. Your pcs / lb will vary greatly depending on the size of your wings. If you buy them at a place like rest depot it will give you a range per case.

I have done several large butt cooks in the past couple months with pre cook weights of 100 lbs, 75 lbs, 48, and 83lbs. Every single one was right at 50% yield from the precooked weight. The 83 lb cook was exactly 50% down to the ounce. I do not trim any fat prior to cooking, but we do remove...

I buy all of my wood chunks from a local guy in Atlanta. He cuts his wood down at the right moisture content and it makes a huge difference. First time I bought a box and compared a chunk to something I got at the store, I was shocked at the difference in weight. He also ships...

With the price of wings you might be better ordering them as Mike suggests. If I buy 40 lbs (250-300 wings) of wings at Rest Depot they are $1.99/lb. We did an event last year where we were given wings to cook for people at the event. We cooked 800 wings on 2x 22", 1x 18" and a 26" OTG. We did...

Mac, I haven't changed out anything out on a my performer. I did add a probe grommet later, but that can be done after assembly if it was something you wanted. Get to assembly and cooking asap! I hit 10 years last December and my vacation time didn't even go up!

I bought one of the kingsford tubs and just place the bag in there, I don't empty the bag into it. Much easier to grab a bag out of it and pour. It keeps the bag & charcoal dry. I use a galv trash can, probably 35-40 gallon, to dump hot ash & spent charcoal in. I have noticed that water (small...

John, here is a 120 lb hog I did a couple months ago. The rack it's on is 53"x27". We cooked it in an 84" Lang.

Grant, how long and what temp did you cook ? As other mentioned, undercooked. Last time I did them I cooked at 275° for 5 hours then foiled them till tender. http://tvwbb.com/showthread.php?12953-24-hours-of-butts-beef-ribs-baby-backs

For packers I only see 1 per rack. I can't remember the original spacing between the top & bottom rack on the 22" (I dropped my lower rack and added a 3rd rack) but you could possibly put some sort of support on your bottom rack, put the 1st packer on the lower, then put an extra rack on top of...

If I could only have one grill/smoker, it would be a performer. I have only cooked ribs on a performer once, and that was a couple weeks ago. I don't cook baby backs often (only a handful of times in my life, I cook spares) but a friend picked up a few racks of baby backs. Rubbed them and put...

It is about impossible to purchase fruit woods without bark. The majority of fruit trees won't get as large as hardwoods so whoever is selling it will use every bit they can. The larger branches and trunk are usually sold in split form. The smaller chunks are the smaller branches so you will...

After a cook I remove the middle section (watch out for spilling grease) and place the grates on top of the charcoal ring. I let it burn for about 5-10 minutes then shut the bottom vents and place the middle section & lid back on, with the top vent close. Once the smoker is cool, hit the grates...
