I wouldn't want to give up the 18". I might buy the 22" for a good price, but then I'd have 3 smokers. The 18" is just too versatile for small to medium cooks (one butt, a couple racks of ribs . . .)

Well it’s not like you’re going to return it (that would be highly unadvisable from a relationship perspective) so no matter what is said here, you’re going to do the right thing and cook some BBQ and tell your wife how great that thing is. Personally, I don’t have one but I believe it will...

I could certainly live without it, but I have a oval burner in the middle of mine. I use it when i make a roast in my oval enameled Dutch oven. The burner matches the shape of Dutch oven very well and it browns the meat nicely. I don’t think I’d ever use the middle for a griddle. I’m pretty...

Merry Christmas everyone.

So I re-read the label. It says a 15% solution of broth, salt and sugar. So yeah, maybe just some apple juice injected just to add some flavor. Or, assume the salt is not the full 15% and just go ahead and brine it with half the salt.

In Michigan we have Meijer stores. They are running a sale on their turkey for $.33/lb. You have to have a store card (Mperks) but a pretty good deal.

Family and I only like white meat turkey so I just get bone in turkey breast. I don’t even try to get them fresh or natural and this year I didn’t even think about it. All I cared about was getting one, which I did. Of course, it’s injected. I think it said 15% salt solution. I read the...

Why a local farmer? Was he just a BBQ guy or reseller type? Or, did he have some use for it in the farming process?

I used to stock up but when I moved, I gave up a lot of my storage (downsized for retirement). Plus, I found that I like to try different brands and have some fun catching a sale every now ant then. I got some B&B from Ace when it was on sale earlier this year. I stopped and got a couple bags...

Well, the good news is that the meal was great and everyone ate well. The cherry pie was good too :). My daughter is out of town so it was good to help out the son in law with a good meal he didn’t have cook for the kids. Good Sunday family meal time! Makes the cost a little more tolerable.

I guess I've been eating out of my freezer for too long or maybe finding some great deals, but I just went to the meat market today to get a chuck roast and I was shocked. Almost $10lb. This isn't the cheapest place, so I'm sure there's less expensive meat, but still, at about 3 pounds for a...

Northern MI in the summer and southern Florida (gulf side) in the winter.

Just ordered my new ONE. Just couldn’t say no to a good deal on a new gadget. Of course I didn’t need one, but I’m certainly looking forward to trying it out. This will be my fourth Thermopen, not including the two I bought for gifts.

My guess is that the pricing won’t be too out of line, but good luck getting your hands on one. Stuff like that gets snapped up in normal times. Add in the current environment of supply shortages and I think that you’ll be lucky to even see one, let alone get the color you want.

If that’s it, that did not blow my mind. Cool, but not mind blowing. I’m thinking Chris has something else to share. We‘ll see.

I’m guessing a gas (propane) WSM.

I’m just posting so that I’ll get a notification when Chris posts something. Looking to have my mind blown!

So if 80% is considered maximum fill, I think that means 80% fill in a 20lb tank is 20lbs. Just like a gas can is say a 5gal can. You could put more in it but it’s rated at 5gal and when you “fill” it, you should have 5gal but not a full to the brim can of gas.

Sorry. He never wrote it down. Thankfully, my younger daughter spent some time canning with him and his wife (my in laws, daughter‘s grandparents) and she learned some of the old ways and some recipes. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of their knowledge.

I’d get the MK4 while still available. It’s a great price as they close them out.
