When you say Rancher Lump, do you mean Original Charcoal Company Lump? Per the OCC website, the only product they have called "Rancher" is the hardwood briquette that HD carried last year. Their lump charcoal is not called Rancher. So I wonder, is Costco supposed to be getting Rancher or...

Do you know for sure that HD will not have Rancher or do they just not have it yet? Its only mid-February now. Still a lot of summer-only items not in stock at stores like HD.

In the spirit of the current presidential campaigning...I foil my ribs because that's what the people want! I think most people who aren't professional BBQ judges will tend to like their ribs "falling off the bone". The only easy way to get that is with a little help from a shiny silver...

Another vote for Smokinlicious from me. Good quality, center-cut wood with no bark. You can easily order off their website, but I suggest shooting them an email or giving a call. Sometimes they have woods available that aren't listed. They are very nice and helpful...a well run operation.

Well, the spares were really good with the Texas Rub. I have used Byron's Butt Rub for many of my previous cooks. It's a lot spicier than the Texas rub. While my friends and family love the Butt Rub, everyone agreed that the milder flavor of the Texas Rub was really a nice change. 14+ pounds...

Ordered a bag of the original Texas BBQ Rub and their #2 Brisket Rub a while back because I plan on making a real effort to smoke some beef this year...brisket, beef ribs, and a chuck roll by the end of the summer are in my plans. Until now, I have been mainly a pork man with a little detour...

Dave, I've got an opinion on your vent adjustment question. On one of my first really long cooks (14-15 hours), I did almost all of the temp adjusting by opening just one vent. During the late hours of the cook, it got harder to maintain my temps and I went to stir the coals/add charcoal and...

Similar question here. My local grocery has standing rib roast on sale for $5.99 per pound. Sale ends in Christmas eve. Problem is that we have a dinner party scheduled for New Year's Eve and I plan on a smoked standing rib roast then. The original poster is wondering about a 4 day delay...

Would really be a fan of a 22.5 inch WSM. And maybe a built in lid thermo. Other than that, it's perfect!

Cooked the deer sausage last night. Turned out great!! I didn't do casings or anything fancy. They were more like big deer sausage loafs...a little over a pound each. The ground deer was cut with beef fat so I cooked them to about 155 degrees as mentioned above and it was very good as an...

Thanks, Larry. Sounds good.

I thought I saw a thread about this issue previously, but I can't find it now. I have switched over to the clay pot base and have loved it on the 2 spare rib cooks I have used it for. Well, this weekend I have a 3 butt cook planned. I'm worried that the drippings from that much pork butt may...

I have a double butt smoke planned for Friday this week. I was wanting to make some deer sausages from a recipie I found elsewhere and throw them on the smoker for the last few hours since it will be burning anyway. I can't find a solid answer on what the internal temps should be for the...

I have 2 Taylor candy thermometers that seem to be quite accurate and work well. I think they were like $14.99 at Williams-Sonoma.

I have done about 8 cooks with my WSM since I got it this summer. And if I say so myself, I have gotten quite good at spare ribs and butts pretty quickly. (Not really that hard with such a great product by Weber.) Have had friends over each time I've cooked. I have had nothing but high...

The gasser side burner is the way to go. That's about 90% of my use for the gas grill.

Thanks, John. I'll check it out.

Tony C, Smokinlicious.com doesn't have apple. That's what started my whole dilemma. I have emailed back and forth with them (they seem very nice) and they don't ever have apple because they are too picky about their porducts. They only harvest and sell "clean" trees. Per their research, all...

Also found this site. Have heard they have good quality. They offer some of their woods without bark, but their apple has bark. I'm beginning to think you can't find bark-free apple chunks anywhere. http://www.charcoalstore.com/c4500/Wood-Chunks
