    Barbecue Season?

    I grill or BBQ a few times a week all year.... But not when it is 90+ degrees out. During the hot and humid days of summer, its usually 1 time per week or every other week. I absolutely love grilling and smoking in the dead of winter. Wind, zero degrees, ice, you name it.... I love the...

    Red SS Performer find at a garage sale

    What a great find! I am always glad when members find these things. Sometimes, the hoarders buy up everything at garage sales and just leave it outside on a pile to rust away. That beauty needs a good home. The rotisserie is such an amazing bonus. Great job with cleaning it up so far...

    Red SS Performer First Cook

    I finally found a Red SS Performer (1999) Everything is in pretty good shape... I will probably replace the ash catcher and ring, but this one functions fine. I love it so far. Lump charcoal lit up in minutes. I have been obsessed with Mexican food lately, so we had Discada Fajitas... Beef...

    HH Pork Shoulder

    I have deboned and butterflied large butts before, and they turned out great.... fast too..... with tons of bark. Mine were cooked indirect around 375 to 400 on a kettle until very dark on the outside, then foiled until tender. The last couple times I put it back on the grill to firm up the...

    Southwest Discada Cooking Plow Disks

    Mike, That looks really cool. I definitely want a propane burner with telescoping legs. Used the disk today to make some tacos. Cooked on top of a OTS. Ground chuck with some diced chuck, onions, peppers, garlic, and some seasoning. Turned out great with lots leftover for this week...

    S J. Gold Mini WSM Smoker

    Here is my newest mod. The goal is to take up as little vertical space as possible to allow for a bottome cooking grate to go on the indented tamale holder area of the cooker. I have possible 3 cooking grates spaced 4.5 inches apart if I remember correctly. The middle is used for small cooks...

    Calling Ernie D

    Hey Mike, I'm really sorry I didn't notice your post July 23. No, that wasn't me who bought the grill. I wish it was. I bought the discada from Southwestdisk.com Great customer service with a legit plow disk and starting under $50. The burner is just a cheap turkey fryer. I would like...

    S J. Gold Mini WSM Smoker

    Great job guys. I am impressed with the four cooking racks... I was proud of my 3 racks. This thing really is a lot of fun to use, and works great.

    Camping idea

    I'm thinking somebody needs to build one of these... mini-wsm It wouldn't cook for everyone unless you did pulled pork. In that case you could cook about 20 pounds of pork in one. Your idea is probably best for the space and effort. A discada is another way to cook outdoors for a bunch of...

    In your opinion: What's the perfect rib?

    I like a little sweet, spicy, good acid balance, not too herby, perfect bite mark on my first bite with a little bit of bark texture, pull from the bone, with flavorful juicy meat, having a light neutral smoky favor. A light glaze with some more sauce on the side is nice. It should be difficult...

    Buffet on the Binford 6100

    Wow! That is a thing of beauty. Great job!

    S J. Gold Mini WSM Smoker

    I don't use a charcoal basket and never get hot spots on the outside edges. It doesn't seem helpful for this particular cooker IMO. Good luck with the build.

    I don't get it...

    I never expect much when I go to a BBQ joint. The ambiance is the main thing to enjoy. I especially DO NOT readily criticize BBQ joints that were around before the modern competition style places. As long as they don't serve yesterdays food.... I'm willing to give it a few tries. If you hate BBQ...

    Buffalo "Hot Ribs" yesterday

    I served some chunky blue cheese dressing with spicy ribs once, and everyone went crazy on it. Worked great together.

    First pulled pork.

    You never forget your first pork. Looks amazing! Very authentic with the slaw.

    Last two cooks tasted terrible

    Yes! For a while, the harder I tried... The more dissappointed I was. My off-tastes were from applying rub a day ahead and using too much smoke. I went back to the basics. Simple seasoning, familiar cuts, quick simple prep, loosening my cooking temp range, and making sure my sauce is not too...
