I use the weber fire starters and get the coals going fast.

I did not make it through all the post with out doing the <span class="ev_code_RED">HOT POST</span> I have never had to do that even once. Use more Kingsford.

chicago has the 48 lbs for 7.99

I'm really surprised someone did not think that someones homemade sauce was the best. I would think sauce would be like a rub, keep trying to make one yourself until you make one you like,

Whats the normal plateau temp for brisket? Mine is hanging around 160* now after 3 hours. Here is what it looked like after the first turn.

I wanted to do that but I ran out of time. I really needed to get the flat on around 5:00 so I could get it off by or around 11:00. I was thinking the cap was better because both ends in the package looked like it had a good cap on it. Has anyone ever asked an employee at Costco to open a...

I have a 4lb. flat on tonight and it was pretrimed by Costco with very little if no fat cap on. I was a little disappointed when I opened it up. I have the smoker dialed in at 230* and has been on for an hour. I plan on pulling it at 11:00 tonight Chicago time with pictures to follow.

Here is the recap. 7.5 LB pork butt and finished in 16 hours. The final product turned out great. I pulled the butt at 190* and foiled for 1 hour before I pulled. I stripped the bark off and chopped into small pieces and will sprinkle on the meat later. The Dizzy Pig Swamp Venom really adds...

I knew this was not going to be smooth when I decided to use lump instead of Kingsford. I woke up around 3:00am and found the temp had droped to 175* in the smoker and vents needed to be adjusted. Temps went back up and back to bed. Woke again at 6:00 and the temps were low again and more...

Come again. I plan on pulling it and serving it on hamburger buns minus the cole slaw. Would that be a mix?

I got a seven pound butt on around 9:00 pm and should be done around 11:00am tomorrow. I used some Dizzy Dust Swamp Vemom for the rub. I should have some pics for tomorrows post. Everyone have a good night and sleep tight.

I'm with Keith, I use the Weber cubes and they work pretty good and if it is a little breezy, no problem. I have found the news paper takes to long to get the coals going.

It's on sale in the Chicago area and I'm stocked up.

I've used Hawgeyes and they are great. Fast shipments and there prices are good.

I've tried Cowboy and did'nt like the size too small. I'm using Royal Oak and the pieces are bigger and the burn times are good. I still can't beat the price of Kingsford, I can get two bags of 20 lbs for 7.49 at Home depot and I can get two bags 24 lbs at Cosco for the same price. Where can you...

My good friend has a BGE and he has very long smoke times no matter what lump he uses. He is using Royal Oak now and has about the same time as when he uses Cowboy. He uses lump because it burns cleaner then Kingsford and says it makes the food taste better with lump. I think it is very hard to...

Hi Paul - It was a 2.5 lb roast and I started in the morning and rubbed down the roast using Dizzy Dust coarse. I started up a charcoal chimney and laid it down and put one more unlit chimney on top of that. I assembled the smoker with a full brinkmen pan of cool water. I opened the down wind...

The ribs were ok, but the venison roast was the best I have eaten, ever. The deer roast was the first I have ever smoked and it was tender. This deer was taken in Il. and was around corn fields when shot and the taste was perfect. The Dizzy Pig rub added just enough kick.

Smoked a venison roast and ribs. The roast was pulled after 3 hours and the ribs smoked for another hour. I used The Dizzy Pigs,Dizzy Dust for both. Internal temp of the roast was 160* Here is a picture of the final product. The ribs did get a final bath of Sweet Babyrays before I pulled them.

I noticed the same thing as Clay. If the transmitter had nothing to report it may just sit there and look like its not working. Remove the probe from the grate and see what happens. The red light on the transmitter will go off like crazy. The WSM holds a temp for so long the 73 is in hibernation.
